CONSOLIDATED MIDWAY
TO DRILL CROWN GROUND

Representatives of the Consolidated
Midway Oil company, who were given
a lease on part of the Crown OIL com
pany's property in section 3O-S2-25,
Midway, have started to drill. The
Crowns rotary will be used, and it is
believed the we'll will be completed
within ninety days. Adjoining sectlon
30 the Hoholulu Consolidated entered
the gas belt at 3100 feet, and a gusher
is looked for any day.
In Ventura county the Crown has
lately been fishing for string OF to9ls
which went to the bottom when the
drilling line broke. Drilling will be
started again Tuesday and continued
TO 1900 feet, since the Dixie National
and White Star companies brought IN
big wells at 1900 feet. The Crown S
property in Ventura county consists
of 800 acres of high gravity Oil land
1870 acres of which is patented ground.
The company intends to drill many
wells to insure large production OF

PARADISE sMELTER

Paradise, Ariz., is to have a fifty
ton min (which will not only handle
the ore Of the Whitehall company, but
also custom ores, thus enabling the
mines with ore on their dumps to
have II treated at little expense and
to utilize the proceeds in further de-
velopnent. There are many proper
ties In the Paradise district that have
larger or smaller quantities of ore not
sufficiently high grade to warrant
shipment to the smelters, but which
it will pay well to have treated at a
nearby plant, the expenses of trans
portation being minimized in this way.

The several art schools of the city
are opening their doors with many
new features for the coming year,
distinguished artists coming to Join
the ranks of instructors, new studios
nearing completion, and general en-
thusiasm on all sides.

room is being enlarged and a north
skylight put in, making the room five
feet higher to the ceiling line with a
skylight II feet by 5 feet. Since the
recent exhibition held by the school
the number of new pupils has been so
great that it became necessary to in

area. The life classes will continue
under the direction of g. G. Crista-
doro and Rex Slinkard, who have
brought new life and new methods to
the already high standards of the
school.

Art Notes
BY ELIZABETH wAGGoNER

The coming season promises to be
an interesting one as to picture SHOWS.
The local galleries have arranged tor
SUGGESTIONS of exhibitions Of work
from abroad as we'll as the pest anu
latest canvases of our western palnC-
ers, and a number of one-man exhibit
tions will be features of the year.
The .Steckel gallery has opened for
the season, showing some dellghtrui
color etching by Luigin. The group OF
canvases by Jules Pages is still IN
view in this gallery and continues TO
be a source of delight to the art lover
and of added interest in view OF the
honors recently bestowed on the artist.
At the Kanst gallery may be seen
a number of recent landscapes by John
w. Gamble, Granville Redmond, Ben
iamin Brown and other well known
California masters, as we'll as many
canvases from eastern studios, sucn
as the exquisite marines of G. j. Cue
that are alone worth many visit to
the gallery. The Blanchard galleries
have not been formally opened for the
autumn, but will doubtless be, as IN
the past, a center of artistic activities.
Herbert H Hallett expects to return
from the east about OCTOBER 1, ana
will reopen his delightful gallery. Tne
midsummer exhibition at the Carnegie
library in Long Beach has just closed
cessful and largely attended exhibl-
tions of the year, and the collection
at the Hotel Virginia in the beach clty
is being enriched from time to time
by notable canvases.
WANT PERMANENT EXHIBITION
From the many plans for the cur
rent year it is hoped that permanent
exhibition of the work of our Cal1for-
MIA painters may grow into existence.
Art and progress notes among import
ant happenings in the field or art
q movement of this nature IN Chlcago'
Recently the Art institute has set aside
one of it's galleries for a continuous
exhibition of the work Of artists re-
siding in Chicago and its vicinity. NOT
more than two works by any one art
ist will be exhibited at the same time,
nor more than four during the year
This is the outcome of the annual ex-
hibition held in the Art Institute IN
January which attained an exception
aIlv high standard The jury elected
by the artists for that exhibition has
been continued for a year and mas
made from the exhibition and in the
artists studios selections for the con-
tinuous exhibit. All expenses, includ-
ing insurance, are paid by the ART
institute, which assumes both respon-
sibilitv and control. AS the chief OBJ
iect Of an art museum is to promote
fhe cause of art in its own locality
this seems an eminently logical pro-
cedure and one which other institu-
tions of the same character might we'll
emulate. While we have, as yet, no
art museum in Los Angeles, many ef-
forts in this direction are being made
bv both private galleries and organi-
cations among the painters, and such
an exhibition is assured for the not
distant future.

IS IRREGULAR

NEW YORK, March 29.-The
irregular and shifting movement
of the stock market today left
some uncertainty as to whether
its action simply measures the
completion of steps in the prog
ress of speculation or whether
an unusual change in opinions
on the outlook was being re-
fiected.
The upward turn in prices was
coincident with the fall of cent
per busheI on the price of wheat,
on news of showers in Kansas
and weather prediction of suffi-
ciently general rains TO promise
the breaking of the drouth.
The sudden death of Justice
Brewer. in view of the vital inter
ests of great corporations in cases
pending before the supreme court,
had unfavorable influence on
the market. Suggestion that
the vacancy on the bench might
involve a retrial of the American
tobacco and Standard oil cases
also was not relished.
The bond market lid not i'm

grade bonds acted badly. Total
