WOOD IS
FOUND IN WELL HOLE
DriIIer at Garden Grove Beneath
Gravel Bed Encounters
Buried Forest

While drilling for water on the ranch
Of Mrs. r. Mcdonald at Garden Grove,
six miles from Newport, the other day,
Driller Elliott encountered at a depth
of 106 feet a bed of partly petrifed
wood which he could not penetrate
with a standard drill, and on account
of which he was compelled to aban-
don the job The freak formation, or
body, was so flexible that every time
the bit struck it would bounce. and
seemed to make no impression what
ever on the wood.
The wood emits an odor similar to
that of cedar, and is in a fair state
of preservation, but shows that 1t has
lain buried for perhaps many thou
sands of years.
Elliott Is now pulling his casing.
and will be compelled to drill for
water elsewhere, but so far as the
archaeological world is concerned the
failure to complete the well may lead
to other valuable discoveries valuable
to science.
Elliott has been drilling wells in and
about Garden Grove for sixteen years,
and this is the first time be has had
to pull casing through failure. Be-
fore he struck the wood he passed
through twenty-eight feet of gravel
and there is now ninety feet of water
in the hole, through seepage from the
ground.
The wood found in the we'll, being
the size of a ten-inch casing, has been
brought to Los Angeles and will be
placed on exhibition at the chamber
of commerce.
This is not the first time petrified
wood has been encountered at depth
in the country about Newport. Some
time ago drillers were foiled in an
attempt to drill a we'll north of the
Mcdonald ranch They at a depth of
120 feet struck a redwood trunk and
at another time an oak tree was found.
A part of this oak tree and several
of its acorns have been preserved.
The theory is advanced that this
country was once heavily wooded and
that the changes wrought by nature in
the general upheaval of things buried
this massive forest beneath an i'm
mense bed of gravel. The theory is
borne out by the drillers' logs.

DR.. E. r. Buckley, president of the
congress, will arrive from Denver

Southern California, being a guest at
the Hotel Virginia, Long Beach.
These will aid in perfecting the final
of the details Of which have been
completed.
The gathering will be the most i'm
portant in the history of the organiza-
ton. 1t will to3ch pre-eminently the
mining industry of the great south
west, and will be the occasion of the
discussion of questions of public policy
that will be of widespread interest.
1t will serve to attract the attention
of the whole country to the fact that
Los Angeles is, and by right of it's
location and advantages should be,
the mining center of the great south

JAILlNG OF MOONSHINERS
UNNECESSARY, SAYS JUDGE
Kentucky Jurist FaVors Prosecu-
ton of important Offenders

NEW YORK, Sept. 14-A kind word
for the Kentucky moonshiner comes
from Judge j. C. Perkins of Covington,
KY, who was on the bench there for
twenty eight years prior to his retire
ment seven years ago. He is in. New
York for business and diversion"
"Moonshiners still moonshine in the
Kentucky mountains" he told his in
reviewers on his arrival, but these
prosecutions of them, to my mind, are
largely unnecessary. Besides there is
too great an inducement to prosecu-
tions in the shape of fees for clerks and
marshals. The whisky made in the
mountains is for local use and distilled
by people who would not buy 1t. Not
gallon would ever come into competi-
ton with the tax-paying whisky.
What have seen Justifies me in the
belief that the prosecution of only the
larger and more important makers of
mountain whisky would serve all the
ends of the government and save lot
of hardship"
