CENTURION STRIKES
HIGH GRADE COPPER

DRAGON, Ariz., Nov. 1.-THE Cen
turion company has just entered the
finest body Of high-grade copper ore
ever encountered on it's property The
strike was made at the 425-foot level
in the east drift. The ore is high-grade
green carbonate of copper occurring in
q large body of red oxide of iron and
sulphur. All indications point to very
extensive bodies deeper down, and from
the volume of fresh cool air that comes
I'm from below, one concludes that the
system of caves extends to unknown
depths. This is evidence Of vast and
valuable bodies with greater depth.
The Texas-Arizona shipped another
car of high-grade lead carbonate ore
this week
1t is understood that the Arizona and
Cleveland has made another strike of
rich galena ore on the property each OF
the Ben X. williams group.
On the Princess group of the Empire
company some very rich tungsten OF
lead was struck last week. 1t has not
been learned as yet what the extent of
the discovery is, but the samples sub
mitted for inspection will run $500 to
the ton
Cal Gregory is performing his annual
work on the group owned by his south
of the Centurion, with the result that
he is also producing. He has recently
uncovered ore which assays $40 in gold
and copper.

ECKSTROM COMPANY ISSUES
REPORT ON 2 NEW WELLS

The E. G. Eckstrom company yester-
day issued a report on its two prop
critics in the Midway field, of which
the following is part:
1--WE have received report from Su
perintendent Paulsen today which
shows Maricopa Northern well No, l
drilled to a depth of 324 feet, with 2S0
feet of 121a-inch casing installed, and
the Midway Northern well No. . is
drilled to a depth of 512 feet with 4S0
feet of 121a-inch casing installed Both
wells are drilling through sand, which
is the most treacherous formation that
will be encountered in the entire depth
of the wells. Notwithstanding this,
however, the crews on each well are
making rapid progress and successfully
com batting all obstacles. We are very
much pleased with the amount of de-
velopment accomplished and can al
ready count the days when these two
wells will be flowing.
ITO demonstrate the machine-like
manner in which the work is being
conducted on the property, will say
that the crews that go on tower at u
o'clock noon eat their lunch at 1880
q. m. and then go to their respective
positions, taking the drills out of the
hands of the crews that go off tower
at noon, there being no loss Of time
whatever in the change. The same plan
is followed out in the change of crews
at midnight"

SILENT KING CLAIM
CONTAINS RICH ORE

What may be a profitable property
in gold production, according to e. x.
Mohaney, an English geologist, Is the
Silent King claim, owned by w. H.
Clark and associates of Salt Lake Guy.
The property is situated about ten
miles north of the North Star mining
district, where such properties as the
King of Arizona, the North Star, the
Blue Stone and the Ironwood proper
ties are located, the two latter belong
ing to and being operated by Charley
Sorm, Arizona mining operator Ihe
new district Is known as the New Al
amo.
The mineral belt is about seven miles
long and from two to three miles Wlue'
The formation Is an intensive por-
phyry through a rhyolite field. the
quartz ledges, which are large ana
prominent, cut through the formation
in an easterly and westerly direction.
The entire field is of volcanic origin
The large ore bodies occur in the intru-
sion through the eruptive formation.
The pivotal property has a shaft lSO
feet deep, all of which is in high grade
ore. some samples assaying into the
thousands of dollars. But the general
average in the shaft is about $500 to
the ton with a small percentage or
silver, it is said. Aside from the bet
ter grade of ore they have consider
able medium grade milling ore.
Several lines of business have been
started in the new camp and many
more will start as soon as the freight
can be hauled from Vicksburg, sta
ton on the Santa Fe. The present
population is about 500.

GIR0UX WANTS FREIGHT
RATES REDUCED AT ELY

ELY, New, Nov. accomplishing
of the arbitrary methods of fifteen diff
ferent railroads in the western states,
whose commodity and class rates are
attacked as unreasonable, the Giroux
Consolidated Mines company is MAX
ing a determined effort to obtain more
satisfactory terms from the railroad
interests in a petition which was filed
with the interstate commerce commits
sion yesterday
The establishment OF through rates
and joint rates from Chicago and
Mississippi river points and from Dem
yer and Pueblo covering the shipment
of all commodities and classes of
freight moving to points on the Ne
vada Northern through Chicago Is de-
manded by the Giroux company.
Since the Cole-Ryan crowd as
sumed control Of the Gtroux proper
ties almost two years ago, that COM
pany has disbursed $135,000 in pay
ment Of freight charges on machinery
that was shipped into the Ely district
from eastern points.
Out of this amount the Giroux COM
pany claims that the Nevada Northern
has received AZ per cent of the freight
expenditures for the 150-mile haul
from Cobre to Kimberly.
With the exception of coal and lum-
ber the Giroux people aver that they
denied carload rates on other COM
modities from East Ely to the COM
pany's properties.
"The petition which has been sub
mitted to the interstate commerce
commission was prepared in the east
ern Offices of the company" said Man
ager f. P. Mills Of the Giroux Con-
solidated. "I was aware Of the fact
that the head officials were preparing
to take steps toward getting better
freight rates. I am not acquainted
with the details of the charges that
are made in the petition"

PALMER To JOIN THE
INDEPENDENT AGENCY
Company with Large and Steady
Production in Santa Maria
Comes Through

SANTA MARIA, Nov. 11--one of
the most notable events in the history
of the Independent Oil Producers
agency is about to occur in the join
ing of that organization by the great
Palmer Oil company with its produc-
tion from several enormous wells.
It is said the Palmer and the agency
have now practically come to an agree
ment over certain details of trans
portation which for a few days kept
the two apart and in the near future
the Palmer will be delivering it's oil
on equal terms with those who already
constitute the agency.
This is looked upon as great vic
tory for the independent producers, for
the reason that the Palmer company
is especially strong, both financially
and in production.
1t has a tract of extremely produc-
tive ground and the yield OF the wells
is remarkably large and constant.
The history of No. 1, which is now
over 2 years old, shows that it has
been delivering each day with little
or no variation 1900 barrels of fuel oil,
which record has been kept up for
months.
Previous to that it made 5000 bar
rels a day, but half a mile of tubing
dropped into the hole and impeded the
flow.

WISHES YARD DECISION
HELD UP FOR PRESENT
Chamber of Mines Directors Be-
Iieve Ruling Is Good Law with
Remedial Legislation

S. e. Vermilyea, attorney and oil
operator, and W. C. Kennedy Of the
Baker iron works left yesterday as
a special committee from the Los
Angeles chamber of mines and oil to
attend the meeting of oil men to be
held today at Bakersfield.
The directors and various commit
tees of the local organization have
taken an active interest in the trou-
bles of the oil men brought about as
a result of the applications by the
land Office of the Yard decision, and
it was through the efforts of the cham
ber of mines and oil that Secretary
Pierce on his recent visit to Los An
geles was enabled to hold series or
public meetings and met a number or
the oil men, securing their opinions as
to the hardships imposed by the yard
decision as applied to the transfer OF
oil land locations.
It is the consensus of opinion of the
directors of the chamber that the Yard
decision is good law" In their opin-
ion, however, the application to the
transfer of locations on public lands
supposed to valuable for their pc
troleum content works an unusual
OWlIB " lllO CGOAAOilAASeRA NAL
f1culties incident to making the actual
discovery of mineral required by law
At the recent meetings held in Los
Angeles it developed that the question
of the assignment of locators of their
rights was not squarely raised In the
Yard case and was not necessary to
the decision announced in that case,
that it was "obiter dictum," or not
essential to the decision on the main
question.
The attorneys presenting other cases
before Secretary Pierce based their
pleadings upon the fact that this par
ticular portion of the Yard decision
being "obiter dictum" did not pre-
clude the department from ruling
otherwise in the oil land cases now
before the department.
1t would seem, therefore, that a spe-
cial appeal to the interior department
to withhold the application of the
Yard decision to oil land cases until
such time remedial legislation is
passed by congress should have its ef-
feet

C.P.R. CONTRACTS FOR
1900 BARRELS A DAY
Independent Agency viii Supply
Railroad with All Fuel
for Coast Craft

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE In
dependent agency has made a contract
with the Canadian Pacific railroad to
deliver all the oil required by it on
its boats and on its western division
at price which, after expenses have
been deducted, will net the seller 80
cents a barrel at the well. The re-
quired amount to be delivered Is 12,5OO
barrels a day, but the agency has an
option on the whole quantity needed
above that figure.
All the locomotives of the Canadian
Pacific running into and out of its
Pacific coast terminus will be con-
verted into oil burners.
The company has already made an
oil burner of one of its ships. the
Princess Marie, and the experiment
has proved SO satisfactory that it was
determined to close this contract with
the agency for all the fuel oil the road
and its Puget sound and coast craft
can consume.

RAILROAD MAY BUILD
NORTHWEST OF BENSON

BENSON, Ariz., Nov. 11.-Another
reason for the e. P. & S. w to extend
northwest from Benson is the favor
able result from prospecting by the
Copper Queen company on the Maverick
group, north of Florence, remote from
any railroad.
Last eek Engineer woodrow of the
Copper Queen company inspected the
work. Prospectors from the camp say
the prospect shaft was los feet deep,
and the bottom was still in ore-native
copper and chalcocite.
That the e. P. G. S. w. company is
taking special interest in the survey
now being made for branch from the
San Pedro valley north of Benson to
the Copper Queen holdings in the Cata-
lima mountains is evident from the fact
that ]. L. Campbell, chief engineer of
the railroad company, went out there
last week.

MARKETERS, ENCOURAGED,
FEEL FOR NEW BUSINESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 1.-THE
present production of fuel oil and the
hopeful outlook that it will be sus-
tained for some years to come is en-
abling the marketers to reach out and
get and accommodate new business.
"Of course there is a market for it,"
recently remarked a prominent mem
Der of one of the big marketing con-
Germs. But that market cannot be
dealt with on the basis Of gusher pro-
duction.
There must be something more de-
pendable than that. We cannot and
will not contract to deliver oil on the
basis of an uncertain supply"

C. & A. BUYS SUPERIOR
COPPER AT LORDSBURG

Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 1.-THE Su-

M, which was owned by Ell Paso men,
has been sold to the Calumet and Ari-
zona Mining company, controlled by
the Cole-Ryan syndicate of New York.
The sale was made by w. f. Payne
of Ell Paso.
Mr.. Payne had an option on the
Lordsburg copper mine for SS5000, and
the sale to the C. and A. company was
at an advanced price. The new COM
pany is now working the mine and
has returns on the first shipment of
ore from it. In addition to being a
paying copper property, the Superior
mine runs in gold and silver.
