Robbed by
Three Men Near
Cornell, Kansas
Passengers Are Forced to Deposit
Their Purses, Watches and Rings
in Gunny Sack.

PITTSBURG, Kan, Feb. 6.-Three un-
identified men held up and robbed the pas
sergers on an eastbound Missouri Pacific
passenger train five miles east Of here
last night. They were unmasked. About
500 and a small amount Of jewelry was
taken from the passengers.
The robbers boarded the train on the out
skirts Of Pittsburg. They took seats in
the chair car and rode quietly along until
the train was near Cornell, Kan. There
they leaped from their seats, backed con-
ductor Clarity into a corner and drawing
revolvers, warned him not to call for as
s~istance, One Of the robbers then covered
the passengers with two large revolvers.
You will now prepare to give up your
valuables," he said, MY partner here will
pass among you. Please be quiet" The
partner t%hereupon produced a gunny
sack and started on his collecting tour.
From each passenger he took everything
OF value. Money, watches, diamonds and
rings all went into the sack,
One woman screamed and tainted. The
collector calmly lifted a ring from her
finger, picked her purse up off the floor,
to which it had fallen. and passed on to
the next victim. Passengers revived the
woman after the robbers left the coach.
ThroughOutsthe progress OF the robbery
the train hurried ahead. Not one Of the
crew, with the exception OF the conductor.
knew a robbery was being perpetrated.
When the lights In the town OF Cornell
doomed into view, several of the pas
sengers at the rear OF the coach who had
not been reached by the robbers, hoped
they would escape with their valuables.
and they began placing them back In their
pockets. Blu they were doomed to dis

stopped at the station. the robbers did not
hurry away. The robber with the gunny
sack stripped the last passenger in the
car OF his goods and then the three dropped

LIVE STOCK MEN FIGHT
TAX ON 0LEOMARGARlNE
Arguments Set Forth In Pamphlet
Sent to President, the senate
and the House.

The National Live Stock exchange, repre-
sentins all the beef producers OF the coun-
try, is making a move against the. tax on
oleomargarine and has set forth its argu-
ments in "a pamphlet form addressed to the
president, the senate and the house. A re-
capitulation Of the arguments against the
tax of 10 cents a pound on colored oleo-
margarine and a cent on uncolored cleo
shows:
Oleomargarine products are almost inden-
teal in constituency, in digesti-
bility, in palatability and wholesomeness
with butter products The basis OF both is
the butter fat. The discovery of a new
food product should not be discouraged by
excessive taxation or onerous restrictions.
All regulative laws should be directed solely
toward the guaranty Of the purity Of the
food product and the prevention Of fraud
In its distribution and sale.
The perfection of the manufacture Of
oleomargarine placed within the reach Of
and wholesome food product and found a
new outlet for an important part of the
steer supply of the live stock producing sec
lions of the United States and made the
product of the cattle raisers more valuable.
The imposition Of the tax struck down q
new industry and made a monopoly of an
old. 1t lessened the food supply of the
masses simply that the butter makers
might get higher prices and establish a
substantial monopoly, 1t made conditions
such, that later, when monopoly had made
high prices, so that the manufacture of the
new food product became possible, fraud
and deception grew so prevalent that but
ter eaters are all walking by faith and
live in ignorance of the substance they
spread upon their bread. Unjust taxes
breed fraud and contempt Of law.
The taxing of oleomargarine 10 cents per
pound for colorlng 1t with the Identical
vegetable product that all butter makers
use. is a rank discrimination supported BY
no reason whatever. II there be any reason
for taxing the coloring matter In oleo-
margarine, the same reason e.IIsts for tax
ing the coloring matter In butter, TFeat
both products alike. The placing Of the
tax upon the colortng matter does not tend
to decrease the amount of fraud, but adds
incentive to fraud by increasing the profit

PACIFIC COPPER THE
BUSIEST IN TAVAPAI

PRESCOTT, June 19.-The Pacific
Copper company, in the Silver noun
tain district, is now doing more work
than any company operating in that
section Of Yavapai county. General
Manager DeCamp now has twenty men
working on the wagon road that the
company is building from Harrington
to the Pacific camp, and has one and
one-half miles completed, leaving about
two miles, yet to finish. The maxi
mum grade on this road will be 10 per
cent but nearly all of it will be under
per cent. There are twenty men
working at the mine and the south and
north veins are now looking better
than at any previous time.
The different mine workings con-
stantly putting good mill ore as well
as shipping ore in sight, and when the
wagon road is finished it is the inten-
tion of the company to ship the high
grade to Humboldt and also make
some shipments of the mill ore, to test
the different veins.
The company has just installed a
telephone line connecting with Crown
King and Prescott, which adds much
to the convenience of the camp.

BRITISH COMPANY PLANS
NEW DEVELOPMENT WORK

BAKERSFIELD, June 19.-The Gyp-
sy and Mountain Girl properties in the
Midway field, which were recently ac-
quired by the British Consolidated Oil
fields corporation, limited, are to be
the scene of no small amount of new
development work in the immediate
future. The companies have contracts
with the Standard Oil company at so
cents, and it is the aim of the new
owners to increase the production to
about 10000 barrels a month as rapidly
as possible. Last month the property
produced 1900 barrels and since taxi
ing charge several weeks ago the new
company has given orders to begin in
creasing the output from the present
wells Immediately.
L. P. Guiberson, who is the superin-
tendent in charge of the properties, has
been working to this end, and as the
result he has been cleaning out the
wells now on the property with the re-
suit that the May production will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000 barrels.
Two new wells will be drilled imme-
diately, orders to proceed having al
ready been given, and in the future
new wells will be put down and the
production increased until it reaches
the 10000 barrel mark. Clarence b.
Wisner, the general manager of the
British corporation, Is we'll pleased
with his purchase of the Gypsy and
Mountain Girl, and he is now directing
his energies to getting the property up
to a maximum producing basis.

BRITISH COLUMBIA MEN
INVEST IN Local FIELDS

Under the head california Oil Sets
World Afire," the Vancouver (B. Co
Province says:
California oil is now on the boom,
and every day shrewd men of the
financial world are heading toward the
great oil fields. In consequence the
price in oil lands is soaring to the skies
and with the coming in of oil gushers
millionaires are made every twenty
four hours.
Several prominent Vancouver gentle
men are contemplating a trip to the
oil region within the next few days.
One party of oil enthusiasts will be
headed by r. A. Howard of the Great
Northern railway. Another party who
will be the guests of Charles Dunbar
are headed for the Coalinga district.
John N. Redmond, president of the
Royal Loan and Trust company, and
Nelson G. Foster, president of the
Royal Business Mems exchange, have
$50 acres of choice oil land distributed
In the four different oil districts, and
at the present time are drilling two
wells within mile of the greatest oil
gusher in the world, namely, the Lake
view, which is flowing 10000 barrels of
oil every twenty-four hours. Their
holdings, that is, the holdings of the
Canadian Sunset company, of which
they are president and secretary re-
spectively, are right in the heart of the
proven oil districts, and one of their
wells is now within 200 or 300 feet of
the big oil sand.

J. M. S. SPUDS IN WELL NO. 2;
WILL GO DOWN 1850 FEET

TAFT, June 19.-The ]. M. S. lease
on the Mount Diablo, 26-31-23, has
spudded in well No. 2. This well will
be drilled to about 1850 feet, 100 feet
deeper than No. /, and No. l will also
be deepened when No. is finished, the
operations of the Hartford, just over
the line from No. / and the January,
300 feet from No. 2, demonstrating that
a better production can be had with
deeper drilling. Well No. 1 is max
ing about 75 barrels, while the Hart
ford is doing probably 100 barrels bet
ter; the January is making fully $50
barrels a day and has done as high as
800 barrels.
The j. M. S. has installed a pump
ing plant and delivery tank and dis
poses of the product of No. / on the
ground at 65 cents, the oil being used
for fuel at other leases drilling on the
same section. BY the terms of it's
lease the j. NJ. S. must drill four wells
a year until the lease is drilled UP. The
company has forty acres, the north
west quarter of the southwest quarter
of section 26-32-2S. This section was
owned by the Mount Diablo Oil COM
pany and was sold two weeks ago to
an English syndicate for $1,500,000.

.GILSDN MINE NEAR
JULIAN IS BONDED
San Francisco Men Prepare TO
Develop Copper Property in
Eastern San Diego County

JULIAN, June 19.-George Delaney
and Edward johnson of this place have
secured a bond and lease on portion
of the ellison copper properties, TO the
southeast of town, and are preparing
to begin development work. After fill
ing a bond the men disposed of share
of it to Daniel A. Ryan of San Fran
cisco, who, it is understood, is to
finance the venture.
The copper groupings, which so far
are said to be in the nature of a blow
out" were discovered more than a
quarter of a century ago by S. Gilson
one of Julian's mining and mercantile
pioneers. He has secured possession
of about 200 acres of patented land, all
along which surface copper groupings
can easily be traced Mr.. ellison did
sufficient development work upon the
most promising of the groupings tc
satisfy him that he has a copper prop
osition worthy of extensive working
This conclusion was reached after the
sinking of shaft and running OF g
drift of some length.
The present development work has
awakened considerable interest in and
around Julian, for it is taken to mean
that should copper in the paying guam
titles claimed by Mr.. ellison be found
a reduction works may be erected in
L0lS vicinity. I0efe Is a consensus VI
opinion that if high grade copper ore
is found in the ellison workings, and
good sulphides are found in the Wash
ington gold mine in Washington gulch,
outside capital will erect a reduc-
tion plant in this camp.
With such plant here, there is no
question that a number of the old
mines from here to Bonner will be res
opened and worked with renewed vigor.
There is no doubt that there are mill
lions in rich ore yet to be taken from
the partially worked mines in the JUL
ian district. All that is now needed
to rejuvenate the camp is a reduction
plant capable of treating the ores of
the district.
The Washington mine has been
bonded, with a lease clause. by the
Argus Mining company, composed of
San Diego capitalists. The old work.
ings are now being cleaned out under
the personal direction of II. C. Wing
of San Diego, the understanding being
that If ore in sufficient quantities and
quality is found that reduction works
will be built here. and that will mean
the reopening of other local mines
which have in times past produced
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
Ranchito mine alone produced in ex-
cess of $780, 900.

SOCIALIST. CONVICTED,
MAKES STRONG PLEA
Editor of Violent appeal to Rea-

~ Not Fairly Heard

The Herald has received many re-
quests urging that the speech of Fred d.
Warren, editor of the appeal to Rea-
son." in the court of appeals at St.
Paul be published. Warren has been
sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
serve six months in jail on the charge
of sending scurrilous, defamatory and
threatening matter through the mails.
Warren's speech in the courtroom has
been widely commented on throughout
the country. Inasmuch as the Appeal

California despite it's violent SocialiS-
tic utterances, The Herald prints the
following extracts from the reds"

velope with its offer of a reward, printed
in red, for the capture and return to the
Kentucky authorities of ex-Gov. William Tay-
lor. under indictment at that time for muir

Stripped of all legal verbiage and technicality,
that is the issue here and no other.
My attorneys argue in the brief submitted
that the indictment is defective. do not
pretend to know about this. 1 will say, how
ever that l have no desire to have my

the crosscut, only intensifies the min
eral situation evident, and bring an
other enterprise to the earnest con-
sideration of the mining circle as of the
greatest possibilities.
Advices received from the Haynes
camp are interesting at this time, and
from the fact that big sum of money
has been expended, the wisdom of the
outlay is now exemplified by the crea-
tion of another attractive proposition,
and which begins the entry of another
heavy producer in that section. The
cutting into of the five-foot body of
ore on the Haynes took place last Fri
day, but the discovery was withheld.
1t was made on the 700 foot level, from
crosscut run to the west. An assay
taken from the body gave 81 per cent
copper, $1.65 in gold and 10 cents in
silver. The values occur in highly
silicihed schist, in the form of red
oxides of copper, carrying in this min
eralogical respect an exact character
of the mineral condition that prevailed
on the Little Daisy when that mem
orable discovery was made. This
crosscut is projected toward a point to
intersect the west fault, which lies
about 12O feet distant.
