cred at 425 foot depth, where also
,eavy flow of water was struck.
The vein, which consists of an aver
age of eighteen inches of hematite iron
ore and thirty-six inches of a pink silica
quartz, has been continuous from the
surface. 1t has a granite foot and por-
phyry hanging wall. This has been un-
broken either in shaft or in the many
long drifts.

TWIN BUTTES OPERATES
WITH TWO DAILY SHIFTS

TUCSON, Ariz. Nov. 12.-Denying
the recently circulated reports to the
effect that the Twin Buttes mine had
virtually or entirely suspended opera
tions, Michael Earle, president of the
Twin Buttes Mining company, and
Frank Sullivan, q Butte mining man,
who is accompanying him for a visit
through this district, have returned
from an inspection of the mine.
1--WE were working one shift of men
for a time" said Mr.. Earle, "but we
are now working two shifts, and have
not closed down at any time"
Mr.. Sullivan said the surface show
ing of copper at the Twin Buttes prop
erty is excellent, and he said he had
observed other fine showings on other
mining properties in this district. For
that reason he predicts q very great
future for Pima county in the mining
field as we'll as in agriculture.
"The copper market is much inn
proved" he said. "Sales are stronger
and the curtailment of production has
had the desired effect of giving tone
to the market. 1 expect copper to as
sumo steady price of Is cents, which
is profitable, and stay there. With
copper at a fair price, Pima county
will undoubtedly build a great future
in the mining field"

NEWS OF THE MINES
FAKE COLD SPECIMENS
SOLD TO EASY MARKS
UnsuspeCting Persons Buy Sam
piles of Supposed High Grade
Colorado SyIvanite

The Los Angeles chamber of mines
and oil warns the public to be careful
in buying high grade gold specimens.
Several weeks ago the chamber had a
young man apprehended by the city
detectives Office for selling or attempt
ing to sell fake specimens and within
the past few days has had brought
to its attention the fact that there are
other specimens of similar charac-
ter being offered for sale in Los An
geles and the surrounding towns.
The particular specimens to which
attention is called are being offered
by a man who gives the name Of Will
liams. He claims that the specimens
are high grade sylvanite, telluride
of gold and silver, from Cripple Creek,
Colo The ore has the appearance of
having been roasted and is covered
with small globules of supposed gold.
Cutting these globules and examining
them under a glass shows their fake
appearance very clearly and an assay
will show that their gold contents are
nil.
Williams claims to have purchased
the specimens from a Cripple Creek
miner and Notwithstanding the public
ity given The matter several months
ago by the chamber, he has recently
to persons who were not careful in
their buying.
The business of preparing and selling
fake high grade specimens to gullible
individuals whose cupidity is often
aroused by the amount Of supposed
gold in sight in comparison to the
price asked for the specimen, seems to
appeal to the takers. 1t often hap
pens that persons will purchase these
specimens for their private collections
without taking the precaution to have
at least a portion of the alleged high
grade assayed, and the chamber of
mines and oil issues this warning in an
endeavor to protect the general pub
lie from being fleeced.
A specimen of this supposed high
grade roasted ore will be on display
in the exhibit hall of the chamber dur
ing the next two weeks in order that
anyone desiring may familiarize him
self with its appearance.

OIL SHOWS IN WELL OF
VENTURA DEVELOPMENT
Production About Piru Increases
so Per Cent During the
Past Six Months

Well No. 8 of the Ventura Oil Devel-
opment company at Piru, Ventura
county. is down about 1130 feet in a
sand rock and shale formation, with oil
showing in some quantities. This has
been the case for some time, although
the main line stratum has not been
reached as yet. 1t is expected that this
sand lies only short distance below
the point now reached by the drill. Well
No. 2 is down over 200 feet, having
passed through hard sand rock and
also a small oil-bearing stratum when
showed UP in fine shape. 1t was deemed
more important to reach the lower sand
than to stop at this point. A depth OF
1000 feet is anticipated before the mann
sand is expected to be reached.
Nearly fifty wells are being drilled
in various parts OF Ventura county.
The production has increased about 6O
per cent within the past six months
and is showing a steady increase every
month. Several large wells have been
brought in during the year and more
are expected The oil, being of refining
ouality. finds a ready market at good
prices, and is usually run direct from
the measuring tanks into the pipe lines
and taken to seaboard, or else shipped
direct to market by rail and tank cars

FIRE MACHINISTS WILL
OPPOSE CUT IN SALARY
Commissions Recommendation
for Reduction in Pay Will Be
StrenuousIy Fought

Salaries of machinists in the fire de-
partment will not be reduced without
a struggle, for the five machinists af-
fected may appear before the council
Tuesday morning, or the supply com
mittee Wednesday, to protest against
the proposed reduction.
The fire commission Thursday ap-
proved a recommendation to the coun-
ell that the salaries of the machinists
be reduced from $100 a month to $95
a month, and that of the carriage
blacksmith from $117 to $100 month.
The recommendation was made when
the city attorney rendered a decision
that the mechanics in the fire depart
ment were entitled to all legal holldayS
and Saturday half holidays The COM
mission took the attitude that the me-
chanics were being paid for working
eight hours, six days week, and if
they were to work less time then they
should receive less pay.
The machinists contend that they
are subject to call tWenty-four hours
day, the same SaS regular firemen, ana
when required to do extra work would
receive no extra money for 1t. They
say they took the civil service eXami-
nation with the understanding that if
tney Secureu the PoSi'iOii9 Wy -
tive examination they would receive
800 a month. They also declare that
even if they do receive holidays and
half holidays the work of the depart
ment does not suffer. for they earn the
time by extra efforth while they are
at work
In the same recommendation for
reduction in the salaries of the ma
chinists is a recommendation that the
salary of the telephone operator be in
creased from $95 month to $1O2, the
amount paid the telephone operators
of the police station.

PALMER SAVES BIC SUM
WITH NEW WATER WELL
Santa Maria Company's Produc-
tion Gradually Increases.
Wells Drilling

The Palmer Oil company is again in
luck It has brought in a good water
we'll, which will result in saving about
$4,000 a year formerly paid to a
water company.
The Palmer's producing wells are
gradually increasing in output, a pc
culiarity of the Santa Maria field.
No. 1B now produces about 100 bar
rels. a day, No. 2B is flowing at the
rate of 5000 barrels, and No. 3B, the
new one, which started in at the rate
of 1900 barrels, now fills a 10000 barrel
storage tank in exactly twenty hours.
It has a gas pressure of 500 pounds to
the square inch.
The present depth Of wells now drill
ing is as follows: No. Alb, 1888 feet
and into the oil sand 1913 feet; No. 5B,
1420 feet; No. 6B, spudding in; No rs
has made about 440 feet in the past
ten days; No. IS 1920 feet. This last
we'll has penetrated 800 feet of rich
oil-bearing shale and sand and is
now cementing off! 1t is expected that
it will be the largest producer thus
far brought in on the Palmer property.
There is also every indication that
the oil will be much lighter than any
now produced in the Santa Maria field.
On the Palmer ir. SS0-acre tract well
No. 1 is down 2600 feet and is in the
pay streak 400 feet. Well No. is 1900
feet deep. There iss no doubt that
these will also be big producers. There
are no dry holes in the field, and it
is proved that the farther down the
incline wells are drilled the bigger
they are.
SUPERINTENDENT Fether has con-
structed bridge across the creek TO
the Palmer sr 950-acre tract and is
preparing to put down well there as
FAST as the work can be done.

that money can buy, and Blacksmith
Gentry is giving the best temperins

NORTHERN SANTA MARIA
FIELD WELLS GET INTO
LIGHT GRAVITY REGION

Latest reports from the Santa Maria
field are to the effect that the farther
north wells are drilled, the lighter the
oil is. This is the experience of the
Palmer Oil company. which has just
brought in a 12,OOO-barreI producer in
its well No. 3. Among other companies
in this lighter oil portion of the field
is the Santa Maria Midway Oil company,
organized by Albert ii. Beach and
other capitalists of Los Angeles, and
John NJ. Speese, vice president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank of Yuma.
This company is preparing to do its
development work on 3 large scale. The
