ANNEXATION ON sALToN SEA.

Messrs. G. C., L. R. and B. F. Wood house, promoters of, the new line of boats on the Salton Sea- launched their new boat, during the past week says the Coachella Valley Submarine. The boat is 16 feet long. Another boat capable of carrying 50 people, will arrive in a few days from Pasa- dena. the home of the Woodhouse brothers. The two boats are the work manship of the brothers, who are no novices in boating, as they have run gasoline launches in the east. The larger boat will have all the require ments to make travel on the lake safe. The boat must pass government inspection before it will be allowed to carry passengers. There will have to be provided life preservers, double bulkhead, etc.
 Two shelter houses will be erected one at a point near Mecca, and the other at the other end of the sea. At Magnesia Springs sanitarium will be built for health seekers. and it is be-

FAKE OIL OPERATORS
State Mining Bureau Commences War
 On Promoters of SwindIes.

The investigation which was con- menced short time ago by the Cali fornia State Mining Bureau in regard to fake oil companies operating in this state has been partly concluded, and the evidence of the illegitimate nature of their operations has been placed in the hands of State Mineral ogist Lewis B. Aubury by special Field Assistant appointed by him.
 In order to protect the public from these sharks, the Mining Bureau will from time to time furnish a plain statement of facts which have been collected regarding their operations
 State Mfneralogist Aubury has taken firm stand regarding this class of q operators, and is receiving the united support of the legitimate oil opera tors. Concerning this matter, he says, We are determined that investors in California mines and oil wells shall be protected from the parasites which attach themselves to the industry. With this end in view, we propose to give the "fakers" all the publicity possible, and to cooperate with per- sons who have purchased stock in these companies, and to punish the offenders"
 MT. Aubury wishes to remind the purchaser of stock in these fake com panies that he will not permit the State Mining Bureau to be made

lieved our mild winters will draw many tourists to this new resort. When everythin Is in working order moonlight excursions will be given. Music will be added to keep time to the music of the waves. It Is estima- ted the round trip will reach 50 miles, and will take about 24 hours in which to make 1t. Among the most striking scenes of the trip will be the Volcano Springs, which, although now covered with water, are spouting above the surface of the lake. Another object of interest is Pelican Island, the shores of which are lined with these birds. As tlfis island is the breeding place of these birds, it is hoped no firearms will be allowed to be used on them, for if they are shot at, one of the most interesting features of the trip will be thing of the past.
 Arthur D. Story, the Coachella pho tographer, accompanied the boat own CTS on the initial trip around the lake. He photographed the most noticeable scenes. These views will illustrate the tetxt of a neat folder that will be issued, 5000 of which will be placed where tourists will be able to get them.

collection agency-after they become aware that they have been "heeced." The average person who has been duped is interested in only one phase of the questionable return of his money-not in criminal prosecution of the faker.
 There Is not one chance in mill lion," said Aubury, "of recovering a cent from these fakers, and there is only Che satisfaction of placing them behind the bars, but this course re- mains for the person who has been swindled, and is one which is hardly ever adopted"
 Among the first of these operators to whom attention is called by the Mining Bureau is J. E. Kerr, of the Monadonock Building, San Francisco. Kerr has associated with him H. H.. Davis, an attorney. Among other as- sociates are M. M. Davis, H. M. Davis, T. c. Tridel and A. M. Tridel.
 The first of the Kerr promotions were the Illinois Oil Bond Co., Chica- go, capital two millions, the Paxton Gold Bond oil O., Paxton, Illinois, capital half million, and the Wiscon- sin Gold Bond Oil Co.,, capital one mill lion. These were Arizona corpora tions, and advertised as non -assessa- ble, though it is well known that in California any corporation, foreign or domestic, may be assessed, and as a matter of fact those, as we'll as the later corporations, were assessed out of existence. The Gold Bond part of the name refers to per cent. thirty year guarantee bonds which were offered to stockholders, but wheteher any of these bonds were called for, and if so what has become or them, cannot be determined One of the companies supposed to issue these bonds cannot now be located, the other refuses ahy information.
 In addition to the oil companies, Kerr has at various times floated sev- eral mining companies, operating in Oregon, Nevada and California, as we'll as couple of colonization schemes. He is now actively promo ting the High Gravity United Oil Co.,, with a capital of two millions, and a lease of 600 acres in San Mateo County, not far from the site of the old operations. The old lease has been stripped and the portable prop erty of the old companies taken over to the new lease, where a hole has been sunk almost 400 feet in the last eight months. This new company is advertising royalties from four pro- duc1ng wells, which the mining bureau has found to be humbugs. Full in- formation of Kerr's operations may be obtained from the bureau.

PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT
German Syndicate Will Put In Com. pIete irrigation System on lands
 Lying Below Yuma.

The purchasers of the Andrade es- tate are German syndicate with headquarters in New York One of the strongest German banking houses in that city backs the enterprise says the Y1ma Sun. Inasmuch as they have an abundance of money the de- velopment of the property will be pushed with great rapidity.
 The first payment on the estate was made through the private banking house of E. F. Sanguinetti, being $45,0OO. The price paid for the en- tire tract has not been given out, but 1t is said to be in the neighborhood of $2.50 per acre or more than $6OO,OOO for the entire tract.
 It is the intention of the new pur- chasers to put in completee irriga- tion system and reclaim the entire tract, by carrying the waters of the Colorado onto these sun parched plains. They will begin at once and much activity will be seen in Yuma as soon as the cool weather sets in.
 As soon as conditions are ripe the land will be settled by German fami- lies to the number of 2,00O. A new townsite will be laid out and a garden spot made of what has been for all time past trackless waste of mes- quite and arrow weed.
 One of the first things which the syndicate propose to do is to build a railroad from connection with the Southern Pacific at Yuma. down to and through their land, passing to the Gulf. It is more than probable that this road will be built on the mesa and will connect with the Southern Pacific out on Yuma heights, close to Avalon. A free right of way and a good grade can be had on the mesa. The railroad construction will begin early in the fall and the road will be completed this winter.
