EXPERTS EXAMINE
PALMER PROPERTY

SANTA MARIA, Jan. 22.-W. w.
Orcutt, head of the geological depart
ment of the Union, and Ralph Arnold,
the noted geologist, formerly with the
geological survey, have made ex-
haustive examination of the property
of the Palmer Oil company, in this
, field. Mr. Orcutts report to the
Palmer company shows that the lease,
exclusive of the Standel property, can
be depended upon for production of
32,000,000 barrels, based on a saturation
of but 215 per cent. Mr. Orcutt gives
the net value of this oil, with a selling
price of so cents. at $12, 100000, deduct
ing from the gross value 10 cents a
barrel for development and cost of pro-
duction, but makes the significant
statement. "a larger price than 90 cents
will be realized"
Mr.. Orcutt refers to the mechanical
difficulties which have been met with
in drilling the Stendel well, and says:
However, regardless of the success or
failure of this particular we'll, it cam
not affect the value of the Palmer OIL
company's holdings more than the cost
of the hole, and ultimately the Stendel
property will be productive. The de-
velopment of commercial oil on ad
jacent property has determined this.
Mr.. Arnold, too, believes that the
oil is worth and will command a higher
price than so cents. Allowing n we'll
for every ten acres of the $50 acres
owned by the company, he gives each
we'll life of fifteen years with a pro-
duction of 100 barrels daily, a total
productionNfor the leases of 100000 bar
rels. Deducting the original cost of
the property and the cost of develop
ment. leaves a gross income of S1S,-
32O, 900 with oil at so cents.

NEWS OF THE MINES
DURANGO ROAD MAY
EXTEND INTO GLOBE

PHOENIX, Jan 22.-According to
information from reliable sources, the
Durango road will be built into Globe
or Clifton, work to begin as soon as
the necessary surveys are completed.
On equally reliable information ii is
is said the construction of this line
into Globe or Clifton will depend upon
the action of the government in either
granting or denying the much wanted
right of way to the Southern Paclhc
through the Box canyon, on the low
grade, survey.
1t is said that if this right of way
is granted the line viii be built into
Globe. as it is admitted in railroad
circles that Globe is the logical termi-
nus of the new line. If the Box can
yon route cannot be used. then 1t may
be necessary to build into Clifton.
Railroad men say a line can be con-
structed through the Globe district
at cost which will not be excessive.
The proposed line from San Carlos
through Box canyon to Winkelman
has been completed and nothing pre-
vents the construction of this line on
water grade except the necessary
permission from the government.
Up the San Pedro
From Winkelman a line has practi-
caIIy been surveyed up the San Pedro
river 10 BensaT. efe6untering. what
is now the main line of the Southern
Pacific. The surveying party which
has just been called off the survey
north of Globe has left Globe to take
up the work on that line, in order that
the survey may be completed at as
early a date as is possible
If the Box canyon right of way can
not be secured. the possibility of an
almost direct line from Durango into
the mining districts south of Globe
will be cut off and a better line could
be secured by building by way OF
Clifton.
It is believed that the Globe chamber
of commerce will take these matters
of Importance into consideration, and
place itself on record as favorins the
granting of the low grade right of way
through Box canyon, the construction
of the proposed water grade through
that canyon to San Carlos and on to
the main line near Lordsburg, N. M,
and also the construction of the pro-
posed line from Globe to Durango.

NEW MILL FOR
KEANE WONDER
ADDITION OF EIGHTY STAMPS
Is ANNOUNCED
MINE NEAR LOS ANGELES LAYS
ELABORATE PLANS
With Debt at Bank Almost Paid, COM
pany Expects Returns of
$4,000 Monthly from
100 Stamps

The Keane Wonder mine, the success
ful gold producer in the Funeral range,
near Rhyolite, New, will, it is an
nounced upon good authority, begin
soon the installation of eighty stamps
additional, making a lOO-stamp plant
with an enlarged cyanide equipment.
With this increased stamping capac-
ity the mine will be able to maintain
a tonnage production approximately as
large as the Goldfield Consolidated and
be one of the largest gold mines directly
tributary to Los Angeles.
In the month of December the mill
was in operation only half the time,
due to accidents to machinery and the
inclemency of the weather. still the pro-
duction for the fifteen days amounted
to $4,000 or $1,000 a day. The produc-
ton for November amounted to $4,000
and October approximately $4,000.
These months compare in output to the
monthly production that has been main
tanned since the installation of the 20
stamp mill over two years ago.
This enterprise was founded and the
company organized in the spring of
1906 by John F. Campbell Later the
control passed to Homer Wilson, who is
now general manager. T. B. Hickey,
formerly president of the new defunct
State Bank and Trust company of Ne
vada, was associated with Mr.. Wilson
in the financing of the mill and is now
one of the large holders of the stock.
The stock of the company figured
largely in the affairs of the defunct
bank and suit was brought by the re-
ceiver to compel the return of a large
block of the stock to the bank that had
been traded by the bank officials for
deposit credits However, the affair
was finally settled satisfactorily to all.
The company was indebted to the bank
in the sum of 100000, since which time
this has been nearly all paid.
With the hundred stamps in opera
tion the mine should approximate a
production of $15O0OO a month.

STRIKE OF HIGH GRADE
COPPER NEAR DRAGON

According to reports from Dragon,
in Arizona, rich strike OF ore has
been made at the property of the Red
Mountain Development company. The
ore bodies show an exceedingly high
percentage of copper and samples are
being sent to Bisbee to be placed on
exhibition.
The strike was made at a depth of
about sixty feet, which depth has been
attained in sinking the shaft. Quite
a force of men has been at work the
past few weeks on development oper-
ations, and in view of the strike more
men will be put on. 1t is said valuable
ore lies all about the bottom of the
shaft. The strike was made Sunday.
The company is planning to install
additional machinery in order that
operations may be enlarged upon.
