INDEPENDENTS MAY

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 21.-It now
seems as if the independent agencies
will close their doors unless greater

such Join forces with those producers
who have organized themselves for
their mutual benefit and protection.
The purpose of the independents VIII
not be served nor their ends attained
unless the membership is increased by
ACQUISITION of those who IL not now,

nishing the market with the oil with
which that market can be depressed.
AS the agency's plan has been sufil-
ciently successful to raise the price OF
oil from below 20 cents to about 6O
cents a barrel, it would seem that pro-
ducers generally would partake of
membership in the organization, but
that is not the case.
Numbers of these are holding out,
and unless they or a majority of them
do come in there will be no recourse
for the agencies but to close the door
and prepare to become corporation

CALIFORNIA MIDWAY
ENCOUNTERS GAS AND
OIL SPOTS IN WELL

A telephone message received last
night from David Kinney, superinten-
dent of the California Midway Oil COM
nany, operati- g p in section 32, 21-23,
North Midway, said that we'll No. 1,
which has been eagerly watched by
investors in Los Angeles for some time,
had reached a depth of 26S5 feet In a
herd brown hale formation and at
III t depth was carrying large quantt-
ties of gas and spots of oil.
Kinsey said he believed the oil sand
would be reached within the next go or
75 feet. He said the we'll vas in ex-
cellent condition and that no setbacks
were anticipated.
This we'll is one of the deepest in the
North Midway field and it is estimated
it will develop into a producer equal
If not superior to the Santa Fe we'll in
section which has caused so much
comment this winter.
The California Midway company's
well No 2 has reached depth OF 275
feet and well No. will spud in either
today or tomorrow.
This company owns 100 acres in the
nroyen North Midway oil belt and is
surrounded by properties of the Santa

ARIZONA MAY LEAD AGAINST
MONTATA IN COPPER OUTPUT
Final Figures Will Territory Practically Three Hundred
Million Pounds and with Many New Camps This Year 1t
Promises to Break Worlds Production Record

In the copper estimates for last year
it has been figured that once again
Montana leads the world. This means
Butte, for all the production of the
state comes practically from that one
camp. But all figuers are not in yet
and the total may show that Arizona
was outdone by Montana by only a
very small margin, both producing
within a few million pounds of 300, 000,-
600 If in the final figures it is found
that Montana leads, this will be only
a temporary advantage, for when the
new camps of Arizona are marketing
copper Montana will be left far behind
and will never again approach Arizona.
With the production of the new mines
of Arizona in full swing the territory
will double its present output.
At present the production all comes
from four old camps, Bisbee, Clifton
Morenci, Globe and jerome, some small
amounts coming from one or two of
the newer camps. The big new camps
that will add materially to Arizona's s
output are Miami, Ray, Courtland. Sill
yer Bell, London and the Parker coun-
try. Most of these newer camps will
be larger than any of the older camps,
this being especially true of Miami,
Ray and London. Taking the Parker
country to include all that section of
the country of western Arizona, it will
also be true in this case.
Four Promising Camps
So Arizona has four camps that will
be greater producers than any of the
camps. already producing, besides hav-
ing two other notable districts, to say
nothing of many individual localities
that will produce copper in CONNER
cial quantities. The statement that
the territory will soon double its cop
per production is not the rash state
ment that it might appear to one un-
familiar with the situation.
For the time the remarkable devel-
opment of the Ray Consolidated and
Miami has rather centered attention
strongest on these two camps and
their wonderful properties But there
are others, one being the London dis
trict that is believed to give eXcep-
tional promise and thought by many
we'll informed copper men to have the
making of one of the greatest copper
camps in the world. Courtland, where
the Copper Queen and Calumet and
Arizona companies, two of the greatest
copper mining concerns in the world
are developing splendid properties and
already maintaining some production
Silver Bell, where the Imperial and El
Trio are located, will produce this year
Approximately 30,OOO000 pounds. The
Clara Consolidated and the Planet. in
the Parker country. the latter proper
ty owned by the Lewisohns, will both
give good account of themselves, as
both properties are ones of great
promise.
In the Miami District
In the Miami district there are foul
large properties besides the Miami
namely the Cordova, Inspiration, the
New keystone and the Live Oak. De
velopment has shown that these al
compare favorably with the Miami
and it is even believed the ores will
average nearly one-half per cent high
er than the Miami.

The process for reducing the ores
will be teaching with precipitation by
electricity. This is the cheapest pro-
cess for reducing copper ores known
at the present day. By this method
the copper is extracted from the ore
chemically pure, thus saving transpor-

claim made for this process is that it
will extract all the values.

The field report of r. w. Dallas, sec

Just been completed. The production
for the month was 1,27S,25S barrels,
bringing the total production of the

The field report shows a decrease
from the previous month in produc-
ton, although an increase In activity is
noticeable in almost every instance.
The transportation difficulties on the
west side caused the holding back of
production. The storage was high from
the month previous, and in December
14S1g1 barrels were added to 1t. The
shipment shows an increase of 1903 bar
rels over November, which was MAIN

At Ray surprising all is the Ray
Consolidated, with the greatest body
of developed copper ore in the world,
said to be over 80, 900, 900 tons, averag-
ing a little over 2 per cent. This Won
derful development with the attend
ant financing success, has put the price
of the stock from a few dollars fifteen
months ago to $23 a share, the present
price. Adjoining the Ray Consolidated
are the Ray Central, GiIa and the Her
cules, all three having large bodies OF
ore which eventually will maintain a
large production.
Up the Gila river ten miles two miles
west of Winkelman and two miles be-
low the Overland property the Ray
solidated has started to erect smell
ter and a concentrator that will be the
largest concentration in the world
Within a year the first unit of the
plant will be completed. This site IS
named Hayden and was selected on ac-
count of the abundant supply of wa
ter and topographic conditions. It's
proximity to the central part of the
London camp will prove very adVan-
tageous, as from this it can secure the
exact fluxing ores needed with which
to smelt the concentrates.
East from WinkeIman
GIdSI lTOln w lllhGlilldn StNtIdl nun
dred men are working on an extension
of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad that
will be completed to the east end Of
the London camp to the Saddle Noun
tain mine recently taken over by
Frank NJ. Murphy, president of the
branch lines of the Santa Fe in Ari-
zona. Upon completion of this con-
nection to the Saddle Mountain, now
called the Gila Copper Sulphide COM
pany, production will be started and
the ores shipped to the Sasco smelter,
owned by the Murphy interests.
Extending west from the Gila Sui
phide in the order named, are the
LonCon Arizona, London Range, Over
land, Crusade, Como and Armada
properties, seven copper properties,
with the ella Sulphide, covering four
miles of ground From the character
of the ores the showing and the struc-
tural conditions it is thought that this
four miles will prove one of the great
est districts in the country, comparing
favorably with the other great copper
localities of Arizona and produce cop
per as cheaply as it can be produced
on the continent. Like Ray, this
camp has an abundance of good wa
ter and railroad transportation, two
| very important considerations in cop
per mining. 1t is known that the ores
from the Murphy property contain the
proper composition to make a natural
smelling mixture, which all tends to
! facility in smelling and cheapness of
| production. In this respect the ores
are like the CRANKY ore in British Co
| lumbia.
| Understanding the result of the
years development in these properties
and all the conditions that surround
them and the Investigations made by
competent people, it is evident the cop
per supremacy of Arizona IS not ir
danger. For considering all things
especially the cost of producing cop
per, Arizona leads the world and viii
maintain this position for a generation

Aldermen Would Land Friends Before

There is a great scramble among
the aldermen to get jobs for friends
and supporters in the city depart
ments before the Vernon civil service
plan goes into effect, for the employees
who are on the job at that time will
remain unless removed for miscon-
duct The civil service commission
probably will be appointed some time
next month and will assume It's duties
soon after the first OF the year
There is some question as to just
what appointees are exempted from
civil service. The act exempts the
one deputy, secretary or assistant OF
any of the departments or commits
sions, who. in case OF a vacancy In
once or inability of the chief of de-
partment or commission to perform
his duties, would be entitled to per-
form the duties Of the Office until the
vacancy is filed or the inability re-
moved"
In the police department, for exam
pie, there is aNquestion as to whether
this would mean the secretary or the
superintendent, and the same ques-
tion could be raised in nearly all the
city departments. II is likely that
