CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
COMPANY DRILLS NO. z
Wells in Field Have Not Yet Been
Able to Get Over rs
Barrels

The East Richmond Oil company, on
Boaz ranch, Contra Costa county, a
few miles east of Point Richmond, is
drilling well No. 2. The hole is 700
feet deep, but there are no indications
of oil yet. No / is 400 feet deep and
pumps enough oil for fuel for the
work, 1t is of Is Baume. The Alarial
Oil company, eight miles east of Liver
more, Is down 745 feet. The drillers
claim that it is good for twenty-five
barrels a day. The Independence, in
the same section, is preparing to drill.
The Tracy oil well, eight miles north
east, is down 2S0O feet in sandy shale,
with traces of gas and oil. Another
we'll has been started near Pleasanton.
Up to two weeks ago the Standard
Oil company had been prospecting in
this part of Alameda county, but has
discontinued the work and has aban-
ioned the field so far as operations are
concerned. The engineers of the COM
pany are of opinion oil exists in that
region, but there is no prospect of get
ting any wells that will produce more
than twenty-five barrels a day.

FANS, FIzZ, TIGHTS; HOW
COULD POOR THING ACT?
Nervous ProStratiOn Alleged as
Result of an Attempt to
Follow Stage

NEW YORK, May 8.-A further
hearing was given today before Jus
tice OGorman in the supreme court
to the dispute of Nora Bayes and her
husband, Jack Norworth, with Florenz
Ziegfeld, jr., theatrical manager, who
asserts the couple are under contract
to him and wishes to enjoin them
permanently from playing for anyone
else.
Miss Bayes and her husband were
features of Ziegfeld's THE Foliles oil
190S,' and were re-engaged Tor the SUD
sequent year in 1.-THE Follies of 1909,
at $500 a week. After appearing a few
weeks in the latter show, Miss Bayes
reported she was ill. Eva Tanguay was
substituted Yesterday Miss Bayes said
that combination of electric fans, too
energetic walters and demands that
she wear tights and ride property
elephant had brought on an attack OF
nervous prostration that made 1t i'm
possible for her to do herself justice.
She was discharged, she asserted, ana
that voided the contract.
Ziegfeld testified that he constantly
had trouble with Miss Bayes, VINO
would not sing the songs provided, as
she could not see merit in any not
written by her husband. Ziegfeld con-
sidered her services unique and eX-
ira ordinary, bui uiui care a zap
whether Norworth' was on the stage
or off.
Are you willing to take her back
and give her a salary of $1,000 week.
asked David Gerber, ziegfeld's coun-
sci.
II am," the manager replied.
In cross examination Max Steuer
asked Ziegfeld about the opening night
of the show in Atlantic City
Didn't you tell Miss Bayes that she
was rotten?"
"No, [ didn't, though I may have
said that her songs were rotten" Zieg-
field replied.
- Didn't you tell Lillian Lorraine, an
other actress in the company, that she
was the prettiest thing you had ever
seen?'"
Il may have" said the manager with
a smile.
Ziegfeld obtained a temporary in
function against the two performers
last year. 1t was affirmed by the
appellate court. By mutual agreement
Norworth and his wife were permitted
to appear in "The Jolly Bachelors"
pending the decision of the present
suit.

BUYS SOAP MINE
Mineral Product Will Be Refined
and Placed Upon the
Local Market
FACTORY COMPANY ORGANIZES
Carload of Rock Is Sufficient to
Make 100000 Cakes of
Soap
COMPANY ORGANIZES

TOMBSTONE, May S.-Hundreds of
wonderful things have been found in
the mountains of Arizona and not the
least wonderful is soap.
This soap deposit, which is located
near Goddard, Maricopa county, was
discovered about two years ago by S.
S. Green. Recently Mr.. Green and his
local associates made a deal with G. S.
Rogers of Los Angeles and organized
the r. G. & r. Manufacturing com
pany. The purpose of the company is
to take the natural soap, prepare it and
market it,
The soap is merely a rock, the chem
ical constituents Of which make it a
valuable cleansing agent and skin food.
1t is as pure as any mineral of the
kind ever discovered. All that it re-
quires to prepare it for use is grinding
and few inexpensive ingredients, that
are added during this process.
A carload of the rock is sufficient for
the manufacture of 100000 cakes of
soap. Mr.. Rogers will ship a carload
to Los Angeles and after he begins to
turn out cakes he will place them on
the market in all towns in Arizona and
California

ATLANTA LEASES SHOW
PROGRESS AND RESULTS

GOLDFIELD, May S.-Sinking. is
progressing on the Queen Consolidated
lease on the Atlanta. the shaft now
being 400 feet deep on its way toward
the 100 level, where crosscutting and
drifting will begin for development of
the ST Ives ledge in this territory.
Discovery of profitable ore in the
Ford lease on the st. Ives, north about
500 feet, is a source of encouragement
to Atlanta leasers. The ledge outcrops
prominently along the surface and
should have many spots of enrichment
that may be disclosed with intelligent
work.
Drifting is being carried on in the
Garrison or Precious Metals lease, ad-
Joining the Queen Consolidated, but
pay ore has not yet been encountered.

HONOLULU BRINGS IN
GREAT GAS WELL IN
MARICOPA TERRITORY

MARICOPA, May Sd. A. Pollard.
superintendent of the Honolulu. has
brought in a great gas well on section
14-3s-s4 at 1904 feet, the same depth
at which the great gasser which first at
tracted attention to the Buena Vista
hills was struck.
The gas pressure in the new well is rs
pounds greater than the first well, be-
ing 500 pounds to the inch, indicating
the existence of "A great deposit Of gas
along the belt on which the company Is
drilling. The hole was put down from
top to bottom with a rotary and the well
is under perfect control the gas coming
up through an eight-inch pipe. The
gas will be used for fuel, firing the
boilers for the wells now drilling.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-09

In Kern county and the only one for
handling the heaving sand and clean
ing the ones out now stopped up.
GIVES TIMELY ADVICE
However, there is a warning neces-
sarv at this time to buyers of rotary
rigs, 1t is this: DO rot buy rig that
will not take through it's opening free
ly at least a 12-inch casing, that VIII
not handle without stepping two
lengths of casing, that has not two
water swivels, that will not wrap up
the water hose, that has not pump
which will throw DIT least four-inch
stream of water at pressure of 200
pounds continuously and that has not
outside packed pluugers and valves
locked so they cannot work loose ana
so placed that either side of the du-
plex pump can be opened ana nXed
without interfering with the other
And above all, heed this warning: Do
not buy any rotary or hydraulic unless
it has full sized iron friction clutch
bull wheel, calf wheel and sand line
reel run with sprocket chain and so
arranged that Standard drilling tools
can be used within an hours time If
necessary.
In other words, a light rotary is
useless waste of money to begin with,
and If it is not so made that Stan
dard stem and bits can be used at
any necessary time the rig is failure.
But if these two points are kept in
mind any well in California territory,
except possibly Santa Paula and Fill
more, ought to be drilled 1000 feet in
three weeks, and that without any
casing after the first 100 feet until oil
sand is reached.
IAITTATORS GET PRAISE
1t is, however, not my intention to
give oil operators advice in this ar
ticle, but to protest against these later
imitators of my previous efforts claim
ing all the praise and that they are
the originators when they are only
cheap purloiners of my ideas. In sew
eral of these cases they even have one
of these original machines they have
resurrected from a defunct company
and are claiming them as their own.
What | claim is that l drilled the
first we'll in California with rotary,
made the first large rotary ever built,
made the first water swivel that would
not tangle the hose, made the first
sprocket chain, friction clutch bull
wheel, the first combined rotary and
standard rig and the first all iron
standard rig ever made, and can prove
it. And further, 1 was the first to
handle heaving sand in wells in Cali
fornia.

II OUND MOUNTAIN, New, May g..
Il One Of the most important deals
~ that has taken place in Round
Mountain this year was closed here
when r. d. Skelly Of the Solid Gold
company, which has been operating
the Daisy ground, combined forces with
]. A. Buchanan.
The deal is most important, mas
much as Skelly and his company con-
troll the water in the camp and the
combination of these interests now
insures the slucing of the entire lease,
which will mean a big return not only
to the owners of the lease but also
to the company.
Efforts have been made by d1Herent
parties during the past year to get
the several interests together so that
the valuable placer ground on the
Blue Jackets might be worked, but
nothing was accomplished until week
