MANY DEMOCRATS WILL THIS
YEAR VOTE FOR THE REPUBLI-

The Snow Hill Square Deal while
predicting the Democrats will win
again this year, closes it's editorial
as follows:
There is not much doing
right now politically, but every
thing is getting ready to start
out on the run. As we see it,
the campaign is going to be hot
potato. Many citizens who have
heretofore voted the Democratic
ticket, will this year vote for the
Republicans"
The editor of the Square Deal
should be careful how he states a
little simple self-evident truth like
this, or he will be read out of the
Democratic party.

Possibly every reader of this advertisement
realizes that today the California oil industry is
the greatest money-maker in the world, and
unquestionably each reader would like to Sc
cure his or her share of the tremendous profits
being made in this industry.
The only way that it is possible to get your
share of these profits is to secure an interest in
some frst-class company, operating in abso-
lutely proven territory and preferably in the
Coalinga field, for this is not only the greatest
oil field in the State of California, but probably
in the world.
This offering is your opportunity to secure
such an interest, and it is the ground-floor Of
fering of stock in company operating an abb
solutely proven piece of property in the Coal
inga field.
In order to enjoy all of the profits which
arise both from operation of properties and
aDpreciation of values, the time to buy stock
in one of these California oil companies is
when the company is first starting operations,
when the stock can be secured at its lowest
price. and then you are in position to take ad-
vantage Of the profits resulting from the rapid
increase in price of the stock which takes place
as the development work is carried on
The early investors in practically all of the sue
cessful companies in the Coalinga fields have made
money-yes almost unbelievable sums Oh money
from their early investments.
There are many cases where stock is now selling
at hundred times what it cost the original investors
and in fact, such too numerous to mention
here
This company viewed from an investment stand
noint Possesses several advantages. To begin Wlth
they own their outright having no royalties to
nav and to the experienced investor this is very
considerable item Being incorporated under the laws
of Arizona with transfer office in New York City, this
stock is absolutely assessable and when once
Daid for yours for all time The capitalization or
the company 100000 shares is extremely low, yet suf
cient the sale of this stock will realize ample
funds to pay for the property and carry out all the
work planned for the company so that 1T is not nee
essary arranging this company to have the stock
assessabe.
Our property consists of 20 acres in the southeast
corner of Section 26, Tp 20 S., Range II E. right in
the heart of the proven Coalinga field.
The adjoining property the south has recently
been purchased by the American Oilfeld, Ltd, the
big S25 100000 corporation organized by Messrs
Doheny, Garfield, O'Donnell and other big, success

The adjoining property the east is the choice

GERMANS BUY MINE
IN SHASTA COUNTY

WHITE HOUSE, Cal, Feb. 6.-The
Evening Star mine in this district,
known as the Old Diggings district,
has been sold for $t15,900, and $15,000
to bind the bargain has been paid in
cash to Frank Painter and the Frank
Litsh estate. The purchasers are Ger
man capitalists represented locally by
George Bayha, who for several years
was in charge of the Black Diamond
mine, owned also by German capital
lists
The Evening Star is a gold mine. 1t
has been owned from the day of its
location, fifteen years, ago, by Frank
Painter and Frank Litsh or his estate
But little work was done on the claim
until 1895, when it became a steady
producer. AS development work has
progressed the mine turned out better
and better and became a steady ship
per of ore to the smelters.
Only recently an electric hoist was
put in place underground.
The Evening Star adjoins the Reid
mine, owned by James Sallee, employ
ing 100 men.
Old Diggings was called played
out" camp ten years ago, when the
Texas mine shut down and the mill
was dismantled. Since that time, how
ever, the Reid mine has developed into
the greatest gold mine in the county,
and now the Evening Star has been
sold for $115O0O, practically cash.

barrels per day. the Caledonan, with it's wonderful
gusher doing from 300 to 45O barrels of oil per day
Remember that these Homestake wells and the
Caledonan well only $50 feet Deep and yet they
drilled in the deeper part of the held from zSoo TO
5000 feet Deep
The property being shallow drilling is ineXpen-
sive our wells costing $4,000 to $1,000 each, and
requiring 80 to 60 days at the outside to drill
Now, as to the profits which may be reasonably
expected by this company:
The property will accommodate thirteen wells ana,
although Caledonan is producing 45O barrels per
day. the two Honestake wells over 200 barrels per
day and the Circle well 125 barrels per day, all of
these being immediate neighbors, let US ngure
this ultra conservatvely and cut down our expecta-
tions to 5O-barrel wells.
Thirteen 5O-barrel wells would be $50 barrels per
day; figuring days to the month would mean 1880
barrels per month Figure cost of production ex-
cessvely high, at, say 70 cents per barrel would
amount to S2262 per month, leaving us nearly $4,000
per month net, nearly $120O0O per year.
This amount would enable us to pay over 100 per
cent per annum dividends the present purchase
price of the stock This is figured the most conserva
tive way possible.

SAVANT DEFENDS USE.
OF DOUBLE NEGATIVE
Professor Jesperson Cites Examples
from Shakespeare, Chaucer
and Other Authors

| CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Think twice be-
fore you chide the unwilling schoolboy
for remarking that there amt no
sense in studying so much grammar"
| Criticise him for the "ain't" if you
must, but bear in mind that for his
use of the double negative and for the
Onion expressed he has on his side no
less an authority than Prof. Otto Jes-
person of the University of Copen-
hagen.
| Prof. Jesperson, who is one of Eu-
ropes foremost scholars and the in
! ventor of ido, the new universal Ian
guage, defended the despised double
negative in a lecture on Grammar
and Logic" at the University of Chi
| cago. He also administered comfort
| to those whose grammar is, so to
speak, in a half baked condition. AS
one of his auditors exclaimed, There
really isn't no use being too finical."
The small boy who persists in the
statement that he never did no such
thing" may be redundant or overpre-
else, but he commits no crime against
logic, according to the Danish scholar.
Furthermore, he is only following the
lead of Shakespeare, Chaucer, Swim
burne and Darwin. Millions of edu-
Gated people in many lands are saying
the same thing every day, and. with
Prof Jesperson would be the last
man to abolish the study of grammar
He likes the subject so much that he
has lectured on it in many languages
for many years, and has helped to
make the University of Copenhagen
famous. But he thinks it can be over
done and does not hesitate to say 1T
is me-" while less knowing ones shud-
der at anything but 1T is II He pre-
captad t,ase views forceflIllV in his
lecture.
According to Professor Jeeperson, it
is not possible to determine by logic
Just what is correct and incorrect in
language. Double negatives, neatly
disguised or openly Haunted have gone
unchallenged in literature for decades
until spotted by diligent purists. he
declares, and in most cases they have

they were intended to do.

WHITTIER COMPANY
EXPECTS A GUSHER

WHITTIER, Feb. 6.-The Central
Oil company's, new No. 12, which is
located 500 feet east of it's gusher No.
81 promises to be as big a performer
as the latter, which has been the SEN
sation of the Whittier field for several
months past The formation in No II
is identical with that encountered in
No. So, and there is no question
that it will strike the same sand at
about 2500 feet. No. 81 is a little more
than 2400 feet in depth.
The new hole is now down HOO feet,
and at 1880 feet the drill went into a
very rich sand of heavy oil, which was
also found in No. so and from which
substantial production was obtained
before deepening it, This sand will be
cased off in No. 10 and the drill sent
on down.
A gusher with such tremendous
gas pressure was a new experience Tor
the Centrals managers, and they have
had more or less difficulty in handling
No. So ever since it was brought in,
They have been cleaning out the hole
for the past three weeks, and are just
getting things in shape again to secure
a steady production. The well Will be
tubed and an effort made to confine
the flow through a one-lnch opening
If this is accomplished the we'll ought
to be good for a steady production OF
1900 barrels a day. The lesson learned
in this we'll will be applied in finishing
up No. 10. Another location has been
made 500 feet east of No. II and work
will soon begin here.
The company having finally discoy-
cred this remarkably rich belt, will
probably continue the larger part OF
its development work along this strike
in an easterly direction, toward which
it undoubtedly extends. In fact the
probabilities are now that this strike
extends directly across the property
of the East Whittier Ooil company,
concern which has $50 acres of land
and no money to develop it. This East
Whittier land was offered to the
Standard, being turned down by that
concern in favor of its lease in the
Rapetto hills.

SAMPLlNG OF GROUP EXPOSES
BIG GOLD TONNAGE
agement; Will Include Mill
Capable of Handling
Large Tonnage
BY R. T.. NOBLE

GOLDFIELD, New, Feb. 6.-Opera-
tions on a broad scale are beginning in
the Hornsilver district, short distance
south of Goldfleld on the Grand Cen
trail group of claims purchased re-
Gently by D. Mackenzie, who made a
large fortune from the famous
Frances Mohawk lease on Goldfeld
Consolidated ground. The claims ad-
join the Great Western mine. negotia-
tions for the purchase of which have
been under way for some time past by
well known operators of Tonopah, as
sociated with eastern men.
. A recent thorough sampling of the
Grand Central group has exposed a
large tonnage of free milling ore of
good value, the principal veins being
parallel to those of the Great Western,
but the values being gold instead of
silver. Samples of the ore taken from
near the surface recently in prospecting
show quantities of coarse gold and
the veins of milling ore are of large
proportions and are traceable on the
surface on this property for over 1000
feet.
The Grand Central claims were first
lONdlSu III 1919 anu IIull lIlS INC JCdl
following quantities of high grade ore
were shipped out overland on the backs
of burros, the rich ore being taken
from two shallow shafts. On the
claims are six shafts and over 900 feet
of development work, and Manager
Tim Connolly, one of the pioneer mine
superintendents of the district, has re-
ceived instructions from the new owner
to proceed at once to clean out the old
UOrlxiDoc n IN tho in
good shape.
Plans for Stamp Mil
Plans are now being formulated for
the early construction of a mill of suf-
ficient capacity to conduct operations
on a scale insuring the handling of
large tonnage of ore daily. The own
er, for whom the claims were bought
individually, has secured options upon
large area of adjoining territory and
already has at hand the necessary min
ing machinery of large capacity with
which to equip the property
Some time ago officials of both the
Clark and the Tonopah &5 Tidewater
railroads visited the Hornsilver dis
trict for the purpose of determining the
adVisability of building a spur track
to that section from Cuprite Station,
south of Goldfield. These officials ex-
pressed themselves as highly impressed
with the future tonnage supplying po-
tentialities of the district but whether
70 not this track is built it is now ap-
parently certain that Hornsilver will
have at least two mills and a crew of
men is now employed in sinking a well
in the fiat below the old camp.
Development on the Cotterell group,
on the Murray property and elsewhere
in the district give positive assurance
of a vast tonnage of excellent milling
ore of sufficient value to pay good re-
turns either with the coming of
railroad or the construction of mill.

YAVAPAI COUNTY
DISTRICT ACTIVE
TWO MINES AT M'CABE WILL
RESUME OPERATIONS
LOS ANGELES MEN BEGIN WORK
ON GRAND MOUNTAIN
Twenty Horsepower Gasoline Hoist
and Other Machinery Now on
the Ground Will Be In-
stalled Immediately

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Feb. 6.-Always
considered as one of the banner min
eral sections of Yavapai county,
the McCabe district is now showing
unusual activity. Only few weeks
ago it was officially announced that
the Triangle mine was to resume oper-
ations, and now comes the news that
extensive development is to be given
the Grand Mountain, which lies one
and a half miles southwest from Hum
boldt, on the road to McCabe.
F. l.. Dwight, president and general
manager of the company, is now here
to supervise the installation of 20
horsepower gasoline hoist and other
machinery which was shipped from
San Francisco a week ago. Timber
sufficient to carry the shaft down 300
feet is en- route from San Pedro, and
j. 1. Cheatham, who has been engaged
as foreman, will arrive shortly from
Los Angeles.
Mr. Dwight says the shaft will be
sunk to a depth of 300 feet, to deter
mine the pitch of the vein, after which
a two-compartment vertical working
shaft will be sunk. In carrying down
the present shaft, ore will be blocked
out on the 100, 200 and 300 levels. He
says all plans have been perfected to
the end that the property will be per-
manently worked.
Comprises Six Claims
The holdings of the Grand Mountain
Mining company comprise six claims,
upon which Development work consists
principally of 500-foot tunnel and a
shaft 100 feet in depth. The shaft fol-
lows the vein, which carries silver, lead
and gold values, there being large
body of ore uncovered.
Its close proximity to the Humboldt
smelter makes it an attractive mining
proposition, and Mr. Dwight, who is a
mining operator of extended experience,
is so favorably impressed with 1t that
he has purchased the interests of Ben
Rybon and others, who We're associat-
ed with it heretofore.
]. l.. Cheatham, the new foreman,
is a practical mining man, and has
been operating for several years in
Lincoln county, New. Mr.. Dwight will
remain on the ground about three
months, until operations are well un-
der way, and then will return to Los
Angeles
The opening of the Grand Mountain
on a practical and permanent basis
will prove a great stimulus to the min
ing industry of the McCabe district, 1t
is said.

BELIEVES STANDARD
so PER CENT PROFIT
CAN BE DUPLICATED

1--WE venture to say that just as good
chances are to be found here in Cali
fornia in 1910 to make fortunes in oil
as were found in Pennsylvania in the
early CO.'S or in Oklahoma and Texas
in the early 90's,' is a statement made
by the Rock Island Oil company in an
appendix to a pamphlet just issued,
entitled "Why Standard Oil Grew
Rich"
The article on Standard Oil goes
back to the beginning of the industry
in Pennsylvania, tells of the overpro-
duction period, the fight with the rail-
roads, the building of pipe lines to the
seaboard, the evolution in the refining
of oils, and at last of the organization
of the Standard Oil trust. The PAM
phlet is written by Edwin w. r. Law
renee. On the subject of Standard
earnings he writes:
"In 1882 the Standard Oil paid 512 per
cent in dividends to its stockholders.
By 1889 dividends had more than dou-
bled az per cent?. There is nothing in
evidence to show upon what capitali-
zation dividends were paid prior to
1899, but in that YER, when the out
standing stock was shown to be $97,-
1000, the Standard Oil company paid
SO per cent. And the next year it did
better, paying 4S per cent.
mo statement of net earnings has
ever been made public, but during the
past ten years the trust must have
earned hove every possible expense,
including depreciation, reserve funds,
accumulations for working capital,
outlays for defensive litigation and the
like, not less than $50,000,000 net, an
nually, or half as much as all the
capital stock outstanding"
Few stockholders care to part with
their holdings and transfers of shares
are almost unknown. There is said to
be $500 holders of Standard Oil stock.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-07

Bantu language of South Africa, in
Greek and in the Slavic and Romance
languages" he said. 'Would it not
seem strange if millions of people all
over the world were deficient in their
sense of the negative and positive? :?
The idioms of language cannot be
made to conform to logic. Language
often has a logic of it's own more
subtle and more interesting than the
logic of the schools"
Professor Jesperson admitted that
the use of the double negative might
we'll be abandoned now that its re-
dundancy is recognized, but repeated
the injunction not to judge it too
harshly. AS for other Inconsistencies
resulting from a lack of fexibility in
English we shall have to get along
with them as best we can. Shall we
say Neither my brother nor l am
going" or shall we say "ls going" or
ARE going?" Professor Jesperson
raised the question only to leave it
unanswered. The audience tried to
think it out, but failed.
