LA BLANC ENTERS
SAND AT 2160 FEET

MARTCOPA, March 5.-The La Blanc
oil company, which has been drilling
for more than year on the west line
of section g., .11-23. has gone into the
oil sand at 2160 feet and is what ap-
pears to be a good we'll Definite de-
tails are lacking, but those who are
acquainted with developments are con-
vinced that valuable strike has been
made.
Aside from the sensational events
in the gusher pool, half a mile to the
northwest, this is the most significant
circumstance occurring in the field for
several months, because it brings in a
tract of land which had begun to be
despaired of, owing to the difficulty
encountered in drilling and general
lack of success on the part of compa-
nies operating. It makes things look
better for the Essex, Yellowstone,
Lady Washington and the johnson, and
it virtually proves a ffty-acre tract
Immediately on the north leased by
NJ p Waite and the ground recently
secured from p. J. O'Brien by Cleary
and others of Fresno and Coalinga.
The land is owned by f. Y. Gordon
and J. Z. Wagy, who leased sixty acres
to the La Blanc in perpetuity at a
one-eighth royalty.

OIL AND MINING FAIR WOULD
ADD TO INTEREST
Suggestions for EnIareing Upon Ses,
sion of American Congress in
Los Angeles Points to ln=
noVation in Industry

According to present indications del
egates and visitors in Los Angeles dur
ing the convention week of the Amer
lean Mining congress from September
26 to october ] will be given an oppor-
tunity of inspecting an exposition
which will embrace mining and oil ma
chinery of all kinds in motion, models
of some of the famous mines of the
southwest and a comprehensive collec-
tion of ores and oil samples from eV-
cry tributary district.
The matter was discussed at meet
ing of the directors of the Sierra Ma
Ore club Tuesday and it was the unan-
imous opinion that such a work should
be undertaken.
If possible, a central downtown To-
cation will be secured for the exposi-
tion and a small admission fee will be
charged to cover expenses.
Should profit result, every dollar will
be passed to the credit of the Ameri
can Mining congress to aid in its fight
for recognition of the mining indus
try at Washington.
1t is expected that the idea win prove
popular with the southwestern man
ufacturers of special machinery and
that large exhibits will be provided
by the large firms which have branch
houses in this city and San Francisco.
The chamber of mines will be asked
to take charge of the mineral collec-
tion.
Preliminary plans for the congress
convention are gradually taking shape
and answers to requests for co-opera-
tion from outside points are coming
in
President e. d. Johnston of the San
Diego chamber of mines has been elect
ed to represent that organization on
the advisory committee.
President Bob Montgomery and Sec
Sidney Norman of the Sierra
Madre club will leave Tuesday for
Washington, where as a special COM
mittee they will urge upon western
senators the necessity of passing the
bill providing for bureau of mines.
