CLARA CONSOLIDATED
SHELTER STARTS WORK
Plant at Swansea Blows in First
Furnace Without Hitch
or Accident
MATES FIFTY TONS A DAY
Machinery En- Route for Second
70O-Ton Blast to Be In
stalled This Summer
MATES FIFTY TONS A DAY

The furnace of the Clara Consoli-
dated smelter at Swansea, Ariz., was
started yesterday morning, according
to a dispatch from George Mitchell,
president of the company. EVERY
thing is running smoothly" wires Mr..
Mitchell land we are turning out
matte at the rate of fifty tons every
twenty-four hours"
The smelter blew in without a hitch,
once.
Machinery has already been ordered
and will begin on a steady output at
for another 700-ton furnace and as
soon as 1t is received installation work
will be rushed. 1t is the intention OF
the company to have a 140-ton plant
in operation within three or four
months at the outside.
The enire Bouse district has anx-
iously awaited the blowing in OF the
Clara smelter ever since construction
work was started. There are scores
of prospectors in the hills around
Swansea, Bouse, Salome, Wendon and
Vicksburg, each of whom has any
where from 100 tons to 1000 tons of
ore in sight. They have never been
able to do anything with their prop
critics because they could not sell their
ores at profit.
About 100 men will be required to
operate~the smelter as it now stands.
About 400 men are now employed in
installing machinery apd doing other
work in the camp.
Swansea is accredited with being one
of the best little towns in Arizona.
When the Clara smelter is running
to it's full capacity of 1400 tons and
is handling the ores of all the little
mines along the Arizona & Califor-
MIA railroad, Swansea will be one of
the busiest towns in the territory, in
the opinion of people living in that
district

CALIFORNIA MIDWAY
INCREASES PRODUCTION

A. T. Jergins, treasurer Of the Cali
fornia Midway Oil company, and a
party of stockholders returned yeSter-
day from a trip of inspection to the
property of the company. While they
were at the field Monday the circula-
ton tube in we'll No. 1 was sunk sixty
feet deeper, bringing it within four feet
of the bottom of the casing, with the
result that the flow increased imme-
diately from 700 barrels day to 1900
barrels. 1t is expected that this in
creased flow will wash out the soft
shale rock bridge at the bottom of the
casing, and that the result will be the
flow will again increase to probably
5000 barrels.
Well No. is now down 1926 feet with
the special California 12h-inch casing,
and it is believed by the superintend-
ent, r. E. Stearns, that he will be able
to sink the eight-inch casing clear into
the oil sand. This well is already the
deepest in the district with the special
California casing.
Well No. on the California Midway
is down 365 feet with the sixteen-inch
stovepipe casing, and the rig is on the
ground all ready to begin drilling on
No. this week..
The party accompanying Mr.. Jergins
consisted of Benjamin Kingsbaker, II.

Thomas A. O'DonneII Explains OBJ
jeCt of Measure Pending Be-
fore United States Senate
POLITICS HARASsES BUSINESS
AS the Act Now Stands, President

A meeting of the representatives of

tions, which will participate in the

details and arrangements for the pro-
posed mass meeting were completed.
In discussing the matter in the state
;inomas A. O'Donnell, one of the most
prominent oil operators, said the Pick
EFT bill as already published by the
press was amended in several very
important particulars prior to passage
bv the house, and that the following
is true text of the bill as passed:
BE 1t enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress as
sembled. that the president be, and

public uses or for examination and
classification to determine their char
acter and value; and the president Is
further authorized, when in his judg-
ment public interest requires 1t, to
withdraw from location, settlement, FL
ing and entray areas of public lands in
the United States and District of AL

tions as to legislation respecting the

gress."
STRIKES OUT GOOD THINGS
Mr.. O'DonneIl said practically all of
the saving clauses contained in the
amendments which were added by the
committee, were eliminated on the
floor of the house, as will be noted by
the bill. There was stricken from the
BILL" says ODonnell. 1.-The following
clauses: Provided, that the lands
when classified shall be thereafter re-
stored to appropriation and disposition
under the laws applicable thereto
'Tt will be noted In reading the bill,
that it gives the president absolute
authority to use his own discretion

THE next clause stricken from the
bill was: for other purposes
Another clause stricken from the

DRINKS FOR
HIS NERVES
You Who Never Touch Liquor Cannot Un-
derstand a Strange Nervousness in
Some People Which Nothing
Else Will Allay

Nine-tenths of all those who drink
liquor would gladly stop if their
nerves would allow them to. Very few
men like liquor. and yet fewer drink 1t
because they are naturally vicious.
There is a kind of nervousness that
no sedative in the world will have the
least effect upon-nothing will allay 1t
but alcohol. That is why men keep
right on drinking when they know just
as we'll as you do that it is running
them mentally, physically and imam
ciallv. They simply CAN'T STOP.

MIDWAY PREMIER PLANS
EXTENSIVE FIELD WORK

r. N. Smith, vice president of the
Midway Premier Oil company. Story
building, reports upon progress at the
property in North Midway as follows:
I'VE have engaged William Russell
as superintendent on our lease. He Is
O. very experienced man, having orig
inally drilled in eastern fields, Kern,
Coalinga, Santa Maria and the Midway;
and has been very SucceSSful, and
among others brought in the famous
Palmer gusher in Santa Maria.
1.-THE Hale-McLeod well on 5, just
west of the st. Lawrence, Is now down
with 1015-inch casing 1850 feet, and
should bring in a big well within three
weeks. When we consider that the st.
Lawrence Is only a 4-inch casing at
217O feet you see the chances are Hale
Mcleod will bring in a we'll fully as
large as the Santa Fe or any of the
United or Eagle Creek gushers.
Scarcely a day goes by but sumo
new development in our immediate Vi
cinity makes our location look better
and better. One of the new wells on
the Eagle Creek gushed the Sunday be-
fore last at the rate of 10000 barrels,
and then sanded up. They are trying
to get down 100 feet further SO as to
prevent the sanding up, and then it
will flow steadily as the Santa Fe on 8
has done since last November. The
Santa Fe has also brought in another
big we'll adjoining the famous one, as
has also the United, and the American
OIL Fields, limited, has four new wells
on section SO.
"The Alaska Pioneers has finished
its derrick, which lies just north of the
K. T. O., so the K. T. o. has offset
them by putting up a derrick In the
northwest corner Of 5. The Midway
Five has started to drill on we'll No. /,
and is at work finishing its No. and
buildings and tanks.
ION our property the derricks will be
finished Saturday. The 70-horsepower
boiler is being set up, orders for cas-
ing. tanks and a hundred and one
things having kept us busy.
Let a couple of weeks go by, and
Won won't know the district at all"

STANTON OPPOSITION
Hero of MerrimaC,' Says Rumor,
to Stump State in Interest
of Anti-ASiaticS

1t was reported in political circles
yesterday that If Phil A. Stanton Sc
cures the regular Republican nomina-
ton for governor the Lincoln-Roose-
welt league will arrange for Congress-
man Richmond Z. Hobson of Alabama.
former naval lieutenant and Hero of
the Merrimac," to stump the state on
a platform opposing Asiatic immigra-
tion and attacking the so-called pro-
Japanese plank on which 1t is charged
Mr.. Stanton expects to be nominated.
Political gossip yesterday was to the
effect th-t Mr.. Hobson already has
agreed to come to California If his
services are desired In opposition to the
candidacy of Mr.. Stanton, and the re-
port caused much discussion among
political leaders, although it could not
be confirmed except at Democratic
headquarters.
Chairman Albert Norton of the Los
Angeles county Democratic central
committee said he secured the informa-
ton from reliable source, and that
there Is no question but Mr.. Hobson
will stump the state against stanton
If the latter is nominated.
Another interesting rumor, without
verification, had it that the Republi-
cans will try to arrange for former
President Roosevelt to make speeches
in Southern California in the interest
of certain candidates who expect to be
nominated.

LOWER GRADE ON P. E.
TRACKS Is PETlTI0NED
H. E. Huntington President Pro
testing Improvement Assn.

Indirectly Henry e. Huntington pc
titioned the board of supervisors yes
terday, asking that body to compel
him to change the grades of the Pa
cific Electric railways new tracks, put
in for the Pasadena short line four
track system, to the same grade as
the old ones.
Although Mr. Huntington is not
named as one of the petitioners, his
name appears in the upper left-hand
corner of the Rose Hill Improvement
association letter-head as its president.
The petitioning body is the Rose Hill
Improvement association. 1t is stated
in the petition that the new tracks be-
ing laid by the railroad company are
considerably higher than the old grade,
and that 1t is almost impossible for
wagons to cross over the tracks at
their present grade. 1t is presumed
by the petitioners that the only reason
of the company in raising it's grade is
for the purpose of ascending to a via
duct which it proposes to construct
across Mission road. This. however,
does nat seem to be a sufficient reason
to the improvement association for the
change in the grade.
The petition was referred to Super
visor Manning for investigation
