BLACK BEAR PRODUCES
RICH SPECIMEN ORE

NEVADA CITY, Aug. erich speci-
men ore was brought to town by c. Il.
Wilson, who is developing the Black
Bear, Metropolitan and a number OF
other claims below Moores Flat Mr..
Wilson says that the bonanza stuff was
taken out of the Black Bear claim,
which is reached through the tunnel on
the Metropolitan. 1t is lower tunnel
that gives 800 feet of backs to the
tunnel above, where the shoot was first
struck.
The find has every evidence of hold
ing good, and Mr.. Wilson is highly
pleased with his prospects.
It is the intention of Mr.. W-Nson later
on to run another tunnel further down
the hill, which will give some 10000
feet of backs to the surface Mr.. Will
son believes that the vein that is show
ing UP so handsomely is the Mizpah.
1t is planned to erect a 20-stamp mill
on the group of claims, as there-is plen-
ty of ore to keep the stamps busy. The
district is on the Nevada county side of
the famous Allegheny mineral zone.
A. L. Shinn, the well known Sacra-
mento attorney who was associated
with Mr.. Wilson, disposed of his inter-
ests only few weeks before the rich
strike was made.

OIL PROPERTY
REVERTS TO OWNERS

COALINGA, Aug. 6.-The Income Oil
company is a thing of the past, having
drifted into the once was class. The
land has reverted to A. E. Webb, the
original owner, who sold to Whitney &
Murdoch, who organized the income
company. The company at once began
the issuance of stock and disposed OF
several thousand dollars of it, and be-
gan the work of drilling. The dull times
came on, and they not being able to
dispose of more stock, concluded that
they would cease operations. Then
suit was brought and a judgment OF
$500 was secured against it. on Aug
ust 1 the land reverted to a. l.. Webb,
the original owner
Deputy Sheriff Winning came over
from Fresno and proceeded to sell at
auction the drilling rig, casing, bunk
and cook houses, for the purpose of
satisfying the judgment.
There were only two bidders, they
being S. A. Guiberson, jr.,N'and the
Pasch Bros. The latter secured the
bargain for $500, about $4,000 less than
the Judgment. The Pasches will move
the property at once to the Coalinga
Midland Oil company's ground, section
10. 1915, a company recently organized
by Pasch Bros. and associates.

REALTY BOARD LINED UP
IN TELEPHONE POLE FIGHT
Campaign Active to Remove Un-
slightly Objects from Streets
of Angel City

A committee of the realty board held
a conference Saturday with members OF
the joint pole committee, which en-
braces all the power, electric and tele-
phone corporations, with the object of
arranging for the future elimination OF
poles from the public streets.
1t is hoped to make it entirely un-
necessary in the future to set any poles
in the streets, and to accomplish this
alleys should be provided and in case
this should not be practicable, right
of way of not less than four feet in
width should be reserved in rear of all
lots.
At first glance it would seem that
there could be no possible objection to
such a course, as every one is agreed
as to the undesirability of -unsightly
poles in the front of residences. Most
people who have studied the matter
also favor alleys, and as the lots in
this city are almost invariably of am
pie depth to afford a few feet in the
rear for an alley, there would seem to
be reason for the belief that a con-
summation so generally desired can be
obtained. There are. however, certain
possible legal entanglementS and techv
nicalities which may have to be guard
ed against.
AS a result of yesterdays conference
the attorneys for the respective inter-
eSIeu Corporations nave DSSl dShSu W
prepare brief form of easement which
might be incorporated in future deeds,
and this will be submitted to the realty
board committee for further considera-
tion.
1t is said that owners and agents for
city tracts which have already adopted
the method of placing poles in the rear
of lots have found it to be a decided ad-
vantage in the eyes of purchasers and
should the realty board decide to adopt
the suggested provision in all new
deeds, there is little doubt it would soon
become a custom throughout the city.
AS it is, the work of eliminating the
poles in the older portions of the city is
proceeding with reasonable speed on
the business streets, under the ordi-
nance requiring the wires along at least
two miles annually to be placed IN
conduits, and this work has also been
extended to some of the most proml-
nent streets in the residence sections.
There is consequently an excellent pros
pect that at some not vry distant fu-
ture date all unsightly poles will be re-
moved from our streets.

SKULL VALLEY BUYS
VALUABLE PROPERTY
Sale Carries Absolute Title and
Payment cf Full Pur-
chase Price

PRESCOTT, Aug. 6. - Negotiations
were concluded in this city by which
the Skull Valley Mining and Milling
company becomes the owner of the
Roosevelt, Hearst and Bryan group
of mining claims, situated near Skull
valley, purchasing from T. NJ. San
ders. The sale carries with 1t abso-
lutte title and the payment of the
full purchase price is one of the fea-
lures of the deal.
The company formerly operated the
group, and was represented in the
sale made by S. J. McAfee as presi-
dent, and c. S. Williams, secretary,
both of Colorado.
Several months ago this company
performed considerable work prospect
ing to make definite determinations
of the ground, running a crosscut tun-
mel that penetrated the three proper
ties to great depth. The showing was
satisfactory and exceeded expectations
in the size and value of the ore bodies.
The mineral of these mines is copper
and as cut into at depth of $50 feet
exposed body of schist that carries
values twelve feet across.
The purpose of the company is to
re-establish its camp and to begin an
extensive system of exploration
through the crosscut and to drift both
ways on the three veins, all of which
Are admirably situated for development
from one central point.
The property is located about four
miles east of the Skull Valley rail-
road station, in the foothills of the
ments are available from former op-
erations, and the site one of econom-
ical consideration for mine opera
tiOnS.

CROOK CANYON ENJOYS
REVIVAL IN MINING
venezia Gold Mines and Others
Prepare for Extensive 0p-
erationS in Old Camp

PRESCOTT, Aug. Unsatisfactory
progress is attending the installing of
the new mill on the Venezia gold mines
in Cook canyon, and the purpose is to
start the plant about the middle of Sep
tember. The battery has been set and
the new concrete mortar blocks are in
place, is the report of E. L. Tomllnson,
superintendent of the company.
In addition to the mill facilities, the
new hosting plant is ready to be start
ed on the Venezia claim, where the old
shaft will be sunk 100 feet, when drift
ing both ways on the vein Will be
started.
At other points on the surface the old
conditions are being supplanted with
modern facilities, the whole enterprise
assuming a regeneratiYe consideration.
With the surface improvements COM
pleted and the mill ready to run,
large force of miners will be placed at
work at the several points determined
upon for exploration. At the present
time two sets of leasers are at work, r.
L. Chubb on the Mineral Springs and
w. e. Harvey on the Champion. Both
are reported as developing attractive
ore bodies
other mine work under headway Is
the widening of the old Venezia tun-
mel, located on the Crook vein. Other
work will also be started in the next
few days. The method prevailing by
the company is to operate at several
points, and in which the leaser will be
afforded an opportunity to become iden-
tilted with a belt that has splendid
record in gold production.
BY the entering of the Venezia peo-
pie to that section, and the encouraging
outlook of their many claims, the old
pioneer district is enjoying revival,
and many miners are going to 1t to Sc
cure ground that is open. The section
is lively in consequence, and some re-
suits are coming from old locations and
from surface workings that are being

OIL TAKES PLACE OF
COAL ON THE PACIFIC
Man Formerly Stationed in Ha-
Waii Tells of Progress
Made in Industry

COALINGA, Aug. 6.-J. w. Doyle, at
one time connected with the internal
revenue office at Honolulu, who has
been taking a personal view of Coal
inga, getting in touch with conditions
and with the men in the industry, says
few people are as well acquainted with
the real value of crude oil as a fuel
as are the men of Hawaii A few years
ago it was a common sight to see in the
harbor of Honolulu from twenty to
thirty coal-laden vessels from Australia
waiting to get to the wharfs to unload.
Today one rarely sees a single, coal YES
sci in the harbor. California fuel oil
has taken the place of the coaf used
upon the islands.
Mr.. Doyle is interested in one of the
steamers plying among the islands, as
the Hawaiian is lover of sport and
recreation and seeks 1t among his ISL
ands as well as abroad. He says it
took two days to coal this vessel and
clean her decks after the stevedores
had completed their task Of loading on
the coal and during this time all other
work was suspended on account of the
dirt and dust. The steamer Sc time was
valued at about 5000 a day, and this
was a direct loss Now the oil barge
pulls along the off shore side of the
vessel, makes connections with the oil
valve on the side of the vessel, and
unobserved the tanks are filled with
fuel oil whileF the crew hurries on the
freight and the passengers come and go
without the least inconvenience.
During the year 1909 the islands pur-
chased over $850,000 worth of California
fuel oil. and the estimate for 1910 will
reach very near the 900 point.
This is but one of the many advantages
of fuel oil over coal, assuring an ever
expanding market, now that stocks are
sufficient to guarantee any quantity
desired.
There is considerable Honolulu capi-
tai invested in this field and Midway.

NORTH AMERICAN QUITS

TAFT, Aug. 6.-The North Ameri-
can has quit operations on the south.
east quarter of section 81, 1928. At
the same depth at which the January
and other leases on section 26 got
over 100 feet of sand, this company
had hut twenty-seven feet, which the
management did not consider worth
perforation.
There appears to be a break run
ming through the January and June
leases, Just across>the section line to
the east, The January had good well
in the northeast corner of it's lease,
and a small producer near the center
of the north line. while the June got
nothing in a we'll drilled on its south
line opposite No. 1 of the January.
The January gets about 125 feet or
sand on it's east line, and expects to
drill that portion of its territory.

NEW OPERA WEIRD
"Elektra" Outdoes Salome for Morbid

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Europe's latest
musical sensation, EIektra, an opera by
Richard Strauss, had it's first American
production tonight at the Manhattan
opera house.
Seats sold at fancy prices, and orches-

work, which critics say outdoes Salome
in its morbid imagery.
The story of Elektra tells now the
queen, Klymnestra, has murdered her
husband, King Agamemnon, with the
helm Of her lover, Aegisthus. Her
daughter, Elektra, insane with the idea
of avenging her father, persuades her

and her lover.
All the murderous mania, the raVlhSS
Of the obsessed Elektra, finds It's great

the opera demands.

CHICAGO COUNCIL ORDERS
INQUIRY INTO HIGH PRICES

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The cost of liv-
ing agitation which has made it's ap-
pearance almost everywhere else in
Chicago came up in the city council
last night,
Alderman Egan offered a resolution
asking the council to direct the COM
mittee on health to take up the mat
ter of the high price of foodstuffs and
make a thorough investigation.
A movement in the same direction
was taken by the council when it re-
ferred to the license committee Alder
man Egan's cold storage warehouse
ordinance. This measure provides for
the inspection of all foodstuffs in stor-
age every sixty days. At the end of
that time the goods must be either
sold or destroyed.
Egan claims for the ordinance that
it will not only protect public health.
but will prevent corners on such
articles as butter and eggs, which cold
storage men are in the habit of keep
ing out of the market until prices
have risen to a point that suits them.
