Santa Fe Pipe Line

six inch pipe line, to cost 100000

nelds to the Santa Fe shops and round
house in San Bernardino, to be built
by the Santa Fe railroad, is one of the
probabilities of the present year. an
item for that amount and purpose hav-
ing been included in this years budget
Tor improvements on this division The
company has long been considering the
question of building this line as mat
ter of economy for itself. 1t is now
necessary to haul in tank cars all oil
used for fuel in the great railroad
shops, also for all locomotives running
out. of the mountain city. With the
building of the pipe line of 45 miles
from the Olfnda field. a pumping plant
would force the oil to San Bernardino
at a comparatively small cost
The plan IS for the erection of the
pipe line along the railroad right OF
way. The company has a large storage
capacity at San Bernardino already
but this would probably be still fur
ther increased to care for the increased
consumption of oil and the hauling OF
oil for distribution.

Norton Group

There is considerable activity on
what is known as the Norton group of
skirts of Nevada City. A large com
pressor is being installed and other
surface improvements are being made
preparatory to the active development
of the claims. The compressor is a
large one and will serve the purposes
of the company for long time.
The work is beiPg done under the
direction of j. M. Fly, the well known
mining man, who will be manager for
the new company. The property has
recently been taken over by company
of Montana ca pitalists, who are enthu-

possibilities of the group 1t is their
intention to develop the claims thor
oughly and place them on a paying
basis. To accomplish this all the sur

competent and substantial manner
The Norton group of claims has long
had the attention of mining men in the
Nevada City district. There are three
veins on the property. Freedom, Big

Nevada California
AS a result of the visit to Bean
creek, near Coulterville, recently, of a
Reno, New, mining man, eight claims
on that stream have been purchased
by the a-California gold mining
company c. w. Clapp, the manager
of the company, expects to commence
shortly on the sinking of a shaft to the
ore zone which will be d distance of
about 500 feet. The shaft will go down
on an incline of about As degrees to a
point where two cross leads exist on
the surface, from which has been taken
amount of gold. Several very large
nuggets have been found in a gulch
near these cross leads and McFall gulch
has yielded much placer gold.
Work will start at once and as de-
velopment progresses, machinery will
be added to handle the water, which is
now within so feet of the surface of
the ground. Clapp is greatly elated
over his purchase and says that within
six months he will be ready to install
