How do you figure it out??''
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-01
new ZEALAND ship
OWNER TALKS FUEL
Sir James Mills Arrives and
Will Look Into Use of Oil in
Merchant Marine

Sir James Mills, managing director
of the Union steamship company Of
New Zealand, and admitted to be the
biggest man in shipping circles in the
southern hemisphere was a passenger
on the Wilhelmina, which arrived in
this port yesterday. He registered at
the Palace.
Sir James is on his way to London
by way of Vancouver on a business
trip. He is intensely interested in oil
and its use as fuel by the merchant
marine in the Pacific. To see with his
own eyes and to compare with his own
experience in coal burners, the oil
burning ships of the west is the prin-
cipaI object of the eminent shippers
sojourn in this city.
I'VE are drilling for oil along the
shores of New Zealand and Australia,
and there is every indication that we
will find it, he said. My stay in the
state is of so short duration that 1
will not be able to visit your oil fields.
We do not contemplate, however, buy
ing oil from this section for our ships.
1t would be too expensive to haul 1T
across the Pacific to the center of our
largest trade. Besides we have plenty
of coal in New Zealand and it is cheap.
Just when we will turn our coal
burners into oil burners is a matter
not to be presently decided. 1t largely
depends on whether we get oil in the
antipodes and how much we get of it.
L have been anxious nevertheless to
examine personally the oil burning
steamers on this side of the Pacific to
see how they are conducted and at
what cost.
I'VE are building ships all the time
Australia and New Zealand are rich in
mines and agriculture. Our trade is
developing with the increased riches
of the country.
Mills will leave for Canada in few
days. He goes thence to England on
business connected with his shipping
interests.

LOCATORS' Rights
A VITAL PROBLEM
Pickett Bill Intended to Remove
Oil Fields From Reach of
the People

In the oil fields of the San Joaquin
valley, where the rights of locators
have become a vital problem, grave
misgivings have arisen as to the prac-
tical application of the principles of
conservation as originally conceived.
Roughly sketched, there are three par
ties in interest in these lands: the
allied group consisting of the South
ern Pacific and the Standard oil COM
pany; the individual locators and op
orators; the government. 1t is the un-
derstanding of these men in the valley
that it was intended primarily that the
government, the third party in interest,
should exercise supervisory power and
control to hold this wealth in trust, as
it were for the second party in in
terest, the individual locator and op-
erator-in other words, the people.
To substantiate this belief the fact
is cited that the grant of alternate
sections to the railroad was made with
the specific reservation that it was not
to share in the mineral riches of these
areas. The general mining laws of the
nation, giving the prospector unre
stricted right to locate and file, are re-
garded as further evidence of this in
tention.
occurred in large degree and that it's
complete reversal was contemplated in
legislation, such as that embodied in
the Pickett bill, there can be no doubt
after study of the situation as 1T
exists today. The Southern Pacific is
freely developing those lands, the min
eral rights in which were supposed to
have been. denied to it. The individual
locator and operator are threatened
with disbarment.
1t is the practice Of the Southern
Pacific to allow its oil lands to remain
dormant where there is no rival de-
velopment close at hand. Where der
ricks approach it's boundaries the
Southern Pacific quickly drills up it's
lines to tap the pools common to its
neighbor and itself. These operations
of the railroad are conducted under
the name of the Kern trading and oil
company, more familiarly known in
the fields as the *. T. & O." which
works in close alliance with the
Standard and Associated oil companies.
1t is the custom of the Standard to
acquire patented lands as far as pos
sible, and thus it is one in aims with
the Southern Pacific.
The right of the railroad to take the
oil from these lands in which it was
intended 1t should possess no mlneral
rights, has been upheld by some rul-
ings on the ground that the limita
tions fixed by the grant extended only
to those sections known to be mineral
bearing at the time the conveyance
was executed. The issue has been pre-
icipitated by some locators. however,
and the case is now in the courts.
The Pickett bill proposed to Keep the
locators-the people-off the federal
petroleum lands. 1t would appear that
the policy. conceived in the early days
of the nation and reinforced during
later administrations, had suffered
sad reversal

DIVIDENDS FOR OIL
MAKE new RECORD
Companies Handled on Stock
Exchange Distribute Total of
$1,356,6z6 in Month

Dividends paid by California oil COM
panies for the month of May have set
a new record in the industry. The
distribution from those companies
handled on the stock exchange will
reach the remarkable total of s1.S56, ,626.
This does not include the Standard oil
company, which now draws a revenue
of vast proportions from its California
properties. Nor does it include many
unlisted companies whose disburse-
ments for May would certainly carry
the total beyond $780, 900. The largest
preceding month was April of this year,
when the dividends amounted to S71O.-
$685. The May total was augmented by
the 100000 special dividend of the
Imperial company. The full sum paid
to stock holders by the listed com
panies has now reached S31,314,9 902 The
