YUMA PLACER BEDS
WILL BE REOPENED

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Jan. 25.-Ed Shu-
mate and Herman Voge have returned
from a trip to Cave creek in Yuma
county where they located five hun
dred acres of placer ground for them
selves and associates. The ground
has proved rich in gold and the creek
sands and wash are adapted to the re-
covery of the yellow metal by the dry
washing process. Part of the ground
was worked in crude way many years
ago by Mexicans, who abandoned the
claims after exploiting in small way,
where bedrock is near the surface.
Good values were panned by Mr.
Shumate and Mr.. Voge from various
places on the locations, every pan
showing colors. Charles Anderson and
A. e. Scott, who are interested in the
ground and have been working there
nearly six months, have made better
than wages until the heavy storms
made dry washing almost impossible
The property is located fifty-five
miles by stage ride from Vicksburg,
twenty-four miles southeast of Quartz
lite.
Mr., Shumate says that McEnteen
Brothers are preparing to make
three-ton shipment of ore that samples
$4,000 to the ton in silver, gold and
copper, from their recent rich strike
ten miles southwest of V1ckSburg.
The great value of the ore was acct
dentally discovered after more than
ton of it had been thrown over the
dump, considered to be TOO low grade
to ship. The ore is considered very
peculiar by miners, many declaring 1t
of little value at first sight. Mr.. Shu-
mate has samples of it.
Machinery for 100000 placer mining
plant has arrived in 'Vicksburg to be
erected on placer mines ten miles
southwest of Quartzite. The plant IS
intended to work the ground by the dry
and wet processes. The company own
ing the property will install pump
ing plant at a permanent water supply
Ave miles distant from the mines.

TEMPLOR RANCH OIL
BUILDS A RESERVOIR

The Templor Ranch Oil company is
building a large reservoir to hold oil
until the pipe line is completed to that
lease. All available tanks and reser-
yoirs are full and the new storage is
made necessary by the constantly in
creasing production Of the wells al
ready drilled.
The California King Oil company has
hsought in, at depth of 2S4 feet, it's
first we'll on the property lately leased
from the Templor Ranch Oil company,
The we'll is not yet on the pump, but is
believed to be good for 100 barrels a
day. The gravity of the oil is about
II, and no water was encountered at
any point in the drilling. Material is
already on the ground for two more
rigs. and drilling will start on one OF
them within a few days.
The Dillon Oil company is drilling on
it's first well on land leased from the
Templor Ranch Oil company, and will
doubtless bring it in within few days.
David Shear, an oil producer and re-
finer of Oil City, Pa, has taken lease
from Miller & Lux on the northwest
quarter of section S6-29-20, near the
developed holdings of the Templor COM
pany, and has established camp pre-
paratory to drilling. A company known

as the Shear Petroleum company mas
been organized to develop the property
and work will start at once. The new
company intends to use portaDle
drilling rig, at least for its first welis.
J. B. Hoffman has taken over the
property of the old Springfield company
and has a large crew of men at work
repairing the buildings and preparing
to resume drilling. Rig grade is al
ready made for another well, and 1t Is
likely that another well will be started
even before the old one is finished.

CLARK COPPER MAY
TAKE OVER PARCEL
IN MIDWAY SECTION

The Clark Copper company. which
has been intending for some time to
enter the oil business with q hope Of
making restitution to Its stockholders for
failure in the mining game, has, it was
semi-offlcially announced yesterday, de-
cided to acquire a parcel of land in Sec
tion 10 of the Midway field,
The property in view is owned by the
Union Oil company. Whether the deal
is for a lease or an outright purchase
could not be learned, but it evidently
sets at rest the rumor that the Clark
Copper company would enter the Kern
river field, or the Coalinga field, as =
later rumor had it.
1t is said the treasury now has about
$4,000 left from former ventures. This
will be invested in the proposed oil en-
terprlse.
