DESCRIBES DEPOSITS
OF WESTERN ARIZONA

The United States geological survey
has just issued as Bulletin 997 a re-
port by F. C. Schrader on the mineral
deposits of the southern part of Mo-
have county, in western Arizona.
Probably no other region in the
United States of equal importance in
respect to it's mineral resources has
received so little attention as western
Arizona. No official report heretofore
published has treated the mining
geology of the area considered in the
present report. The survey published
as its Bullein 352 a report on a recon
naissance made in western Arizona in
1904 by w. T. Lee, discussing the
geography, the general geology and the
water supply of a large area. The re-
gion covered by the report just pub
lished includes the Cerbat range, the
Black mountains and the Grand Wash
cliffs.
The geography and geology of the
region are briefly discussed and the
mineral deposits are described in de-
tail. Gold, silver, copper lead and
zinc are mentioned as being mined in
MohaVe county. Mr.. Schrader visited
the numerous mines in the region con-
sidered and has given descriptions of
the workings, veins, minerals and
ores. The report is illustrated by a
large geologic map that shows the To-
cation of all mines and prospects, and
by many diagrams and half-tone
plates. 1t can be obtained free by ap-
plying to the director of the survey at
Washington.

SOUTHERN BELLE MILL
RESUMES OPERATIONS

TUCSON, Jan. 19.-Stamps have begun
to drop for the first time in many years
at the Southern Belle mine near Oracle.
This property was recently taken over
by Hugh j. McIsaacsNof San Francisco
and associates and for the last six
weeks the machinery at the ten-stamp
mill on the property has been worked
on with a view OF resuming operations.
A force of miners was sent out to
the property last week and under
ground work is again being extensively
done.
The ore now being run through the
mill is that which was on the dump.
There is said to be sufficient ore there
to keep the mill going for some time.
The Southern Belle is one of the
oldest and best known properties in
this section.

UNITY PREPARES
TO MARKET GAS
ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY MAY
BECOME PROFITABLE
Jefferson Well Enters Light Oil Sand
and Encounters Heavy Gas Pres
sure, Causing Excitement
in Section Six

COALINGA, Jan. 20.-The gas well
on the Unity continues to keep up its
high pressure, and the gauge is now
registering ITO pounds Arrangements
are being made for the sale of the
gas to adjoining properties for fuel.
The company has not made complete
tests and, owing to the sale of gas
for fuel being a new thing in the field
a schedule of charges has to be fig
ured out. This is being done by a
comparison of the amounts of gas ami
oil used in the Unity boilers. The
boilers have been connected with the
gas well and the amount of gas con-
sumed daily is being determined by
gauges and tests. This well came i'll
as an accident. While drilling for oil
last week the men struck what they
took to be a gas pocket An explo-
sion followed in which the derrick was
destroyed by fire.
Considerable excitement is centered
in section six again on account of
heavy gas pressure in well No. 2 of the
Jefferson Oil company.
This we'll drilled into the light oil
sands at about 2270 feet, and soon after
the gas started to roar all the lights
were put out and everything done to
protect it from fire and the gas was
flooded.
The tools stuck in the hole. which
probably saved a blowout of some
magnitude.
w. A. Hearsy, the superintendent,
hooked to the boilers of the Los An
geles Coalinga Oil company the next
morning and removed the tools.
A gate is being put on the top of
the casing and the tools will be run
through this to break the shell which
has formed, when it is more than
probable that the well will flow.
Floods Gas Pressure
The Coalinga Red Top Oil company
is bailing and has a heavy gas pres
sure which can only be kept down by
flooding it.
The we'll looks as if it would be
heavy producer when it is finished,
which win be in the next two or three
days. j. NJ Robertson is superln-
tendent.
The Los Angeles Coalinga Oil COM
pany. not to be outdone by its neigh
bors, is 2310 feet in its we'll No. with
forty feet of sand which shows favor
ably. IT is in SA-inch casing and in
tends to finish the we'll in this pipe.
The Empire Oil company, section 81.
1915. the No. / we'll of which is now
holding the attention of the field, has
decided to erect three more rigs i'm
fnediately and begin drilling second
well south of the present producer.
The No. 1 we'll Is doing better than
400 barrels a day by actual measure
ment, made in the tanks and sump.
When it is considered that the pro-
duction is being given with the tubing
still 1000 feet off the bottom, and the
great quantities of sand through which
the oil must force it's way, the re-
markable possibilities of the we'll are
evident

HAS NOT RESUMED

COALINGA, Jan. 19.-The work of
pulling casing on the abandoned I'm
perial wells has been completed ana,
contrary to reports. the company has
not resumed operations. The activity
noticed on the property was the work
being done III pulling pipe. Negotia-
ticns are pending for the sale of all the
supplies and outfits on the land Frank
Robbins. the head driller, had charge
of the casing pulling.

GAS PRODUCTION INCREASES

The geological surveys report on
natural gas in 1908 shows that the pro-
duction In that year surpassed all pre-
vious records. The total values Of
natural gas produced in 1907 and 1908
were $54,221,399 and $54,6403H respec-
lively. The tables given for the last
three years show an increase in the
quantity of gas used for domestic pur-
poses, a decrease in the quantity used
for manufacturing or industrial pur-
poses, and an increase in price.

APPROACHES OIL SAND

The Shreeves Oil company has finally
shut off the water in it's well No. by

Imaginable vehicle for announcement of price quota

DER the plan now In vogue all the operations of manu-
lacture, from the process of cutting down the forest trees
and reducing them to paper to boxing up the completed
postal cards for shipment, Is carried on in the little
Maine city, where about 900 men are employed, in one
new scheme the government will buy the raw material,
notably the paper or cardboard and the ink, but all the
operations OF postcard manufacture will be carried on In
the great printing Office under the shadow Of the United
States capitol, where 5000 men and women are regu-
larly employed. A contract that calls for the delivery
OF between two million and three million complete post
al cards every working day in the year would swamp
the biggest private printing plant in the country, but
this new responsibility has been treated as merely an
incidental at the model printery Of the world. The force
will have to be increased somewhat and perhaps some
new printing presses will be ~stalled-althoug the Off
cials say the work can be handled with the equipment
now In place.
The government has drawn with great care the speci-
hcations for the paper to be used for the new postal
cards with a view to obtaining a grade Of material with
betteg surface for writing In ink. The paper will be
delivered to the government printing Office In 600pound
rolls, each containing the material for 10000 cards, and
the printing will be done on presses each Of which will
reel off 5000 sheets of postal cards per hour, each sheet
being made up Of 100 separate cards. 1t can thus be
figured that each press can print upward Of one-third
of a million postal cards per hour, and since several such
presses can be employed If necessary and the govern
ment printing office is in operation night and day, there
