Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.
Richfield, May 21.-Messrs. Myler and
Mulberry of Salt Lake have arrived
here from Wayne, and Garfield coun-
ties, where they located more than 1000
acres of oil land. They brought with
them samples of crude oil which was
extracted from the oil sand. The Brok-
en- Bow Oil company, in which Ne
braska men are Interested, has been
formed and it is said that machinery
is to be sent in at once to develop the
oil lands
In addition to oil lands, Myler and
Mulberry located claims covering cop
per and galena lodges which appear
to be valuable. The ores brought in
are high-g grade, the copper ore carry
ing 20 per cent of the red metal, while
the galena ore runs As per cent lead.
The ore veins are less than 80 miles
from Loa.
A party of five engineers passed
through Richfield yesterday on the way
to the Dixie country to begin work on
the proposed irrigation project, in
which ]. NJ. LauritZen and associates
are interested. The engineers came
from Chicago to meet Messrs. Gearon
and Pope, representatives of eastern
capitalists, who were already on the
ground. This promises to be one of
the big projects of the country.

Mines and Mining Stocks
SALT LAKE CROWD
IN CALIFORNIA OIL
Prominent Men Form Company
to Operate in Kern River
Field.

That the oil excitement has taken a
strong hold upon Salt Lake City mining
men and business men is shown by the
personnel of the hackers of the latest
company formed here to operate in a
California field-the Magnolia Southern
Oil company. A few of those in the
long list of its incorporators are: John
W. Langley, r. J. Davis. Col George
w E. Dorsey. Capt. c-c-n Mac
Vtchie, Fred Dern, John A Kirby, H.
H. Cornforth. W. J. Craig. R. F. Wine
man, A. W. Cooley, ]. r Scheck and
NJ. r. Evans.
The inception of the company is
traced to g, accommodating trip to the
California oil fields made a few weeks
ago by R. S. Connor, which resulted in
his taking an option upon a tract of 20
acres in the Kern River oil field, and
other holdings. The option was turned
over to the Salt Lake syndicate upon
approval, when r. ]. Evans and ]. II.
Pape went to the field to investigate.
They returned a few days ago with in
formation that not only had the prop
critics lived up to promise, but that the
value of the main holdings had been
considerably increased by the bringing
In of a new well in adjoining ground
In the meantime the new company
has been financed, a derrick and a
bunk house have been erected on the
ground. and a drilling rig has been
ordered 1t Is expected that drilling
will be under way within the next few
weeks.
Field Is Big Producer.
The Kern River oil field is regarded
in California as the old reliable field.
Its past production is figured at s91,-
100000. 1t has made no spectacular
performance in the way of producing
great guShers, but 1t is said that dry
well in the field is virtually unknown.
The recent oil excitement has resulted
in new activity which has greatly ex-
tended the boundaries of the field and
has demonstrated that the Magnolia
Southern tract is in line with the best
portion of the proven belt New pro-
ducing wells have been brought in
close on three sides of that tract.
W. H. Weber and Nevada associates
are operating in the Kern River field.
They have at this time eight producing
wells, three of which are in a section
adjoining that in which is the Mag
nolia Southern tract. Mr.. Weber said
yesterday that the wells of his syndi-
cate were paying not less than per
cent a month net upon the entire in
vestment- Pipe lines are within easy
reach, and the market is unlimited

IS WAITING GAME
IN STOCK MARKET
Exceptional Bargains Fail to
Inspire Buying of Wig
OrOuS Sort.

Little change in the local market
situation was displayed by yesterdays
trading Nevada Hills was relatively
strong at sic to SIC, Iron Blossom held
at SIC, Columbus Consolidated was
steady at 4Sc, Cedar Talisman was
weak at SIC, and bids of SIC failed to
bring out Lower Mammoth stock
Defeat of a candidate for office IS
usually ascribed to lack of votes. The
quiet state of the Salt Lake mining
stock market is unquestionably due to
lack of buying orders. Why the buy
Ing orders or the votes. as the case
may be, are riot forthcoming is anoth-
er question.
Stock market stagnation is b. no
means confined TO the Salt Lake mar
ket. The entire investment world ap-
pears to be taking a rest. Experts in
diagnosing financial ills say that It is
due to Overspeculation in the past, to
the high cost of living, to automobiles
and, in some degree, to speculative
money being diverted to new channels.
Whatever may be the cause. the pub
lie is not buying mining stocks to
any bewildering extent. Offerings
which once would have caused a STAN
pede of takers no longer lure the in
weston from his banknote-lined lair.
Only occasionally does he take a nibble
at some especially tempting morsel, as
though he were batting his fellows, TO
see whether the alternating period may
be at an end.
Everyone agrees that a revival is
due-if only the other fellow would
buy. Everyone comedies that the mar
ket is weighted down with bargains,
and that it is only a question of time
when securities will again be in de-
mand at their real values; the problem
is: how much time?
Bargain Counter Is Loaded.
And in the meatime Iron Blossom,

velopment which indicates the making

with prospects of soon returning to the
dividend list, languish with the others.
The list of unquestiOned and appar-

COLORADO SHAFT is ON
WAY TO 50O-F00T LEVEL

Work of sinking the shaft of the
Colorado mine from the 3OO-foot level
to the 500-foot level is progressing
nicely, according to advices from Tin
tic, the depth of 375 feet having been
reached. The rich ore bodies of the
mine are on the 25O-foot and 300-foot
levels. Indications of the ore going
downward from the 300 level, discov-
cred q short distance south of the shaft,
are said to be responsible for the de-
termination to explore lower levels.
Crosscurting may be done on the 400
foot level, but the shaft will be sent
to the 500 before extensive prospecting
is done.
