MINING STOCKS

The Comstock shares took a turn upw ard
yesterday, Consolidated Virginia selling Up to
S1.05, against 9ec as the closing quotation of
the preceding day; Mexican up to $1.20 against
s1.0Ih. and Ophir up to $780, against 81. 20.
The others were quiet.
The only noteworthy change in the southern
Nevadas was rise in GodAeld consolidated
from SS07la to $3.50, the stock closing at So Is.
The Redfeld gold mining company of Tulare
county has levied assessment of 1c, delin-
quent December g.
The c. and C. shaft has been unwatered to
slightly below the 2650 station and a block OF
mineralized ground in the Consolidated Virginia
Ophir and Mexican mines between the 1000 and
$500 levels is available for prospecting, and 1t
has been decided TO increase the working forces
In those properties and make vigorous search
decision is the result of strong recommended
tion In report from General Manager George
r. Burbank of the United Comstoek pumping
association. which has been ,fayorably passed
upon by the executive corsTnittee of that BODY
In his report Major Burbank says: From
my examination of maps, together with adyices
from those who are familiar with the work
done in the three principal producing north end
mines. viz, Consolidated Virginia Ophir and
Mexican. there Is available vast extent
OF uDexplored OF partially explored ground that
mineralized- though no extensive ore bodies have
been discovered vet
Under these conditions and the further fact
that at the present time these mines are, or
should be, practically on self supporting basis
1t seems to me that the working force on de-
velopment should be materially increased and
the ground between the 1900 and $500 levels
more thoroughly and vigorously prospected than
can be done with the force employed.

Northwestern centers this side of the line dis
played a very soft tone and reported larger sales
by the country. The cash demand was very
slack. No milling sales reported here. Ex-
port ciearances were 5000 bushels.
Coru-Was little higher early but gradually
lost ground. The disappointing action Of wheat
and the fine weather for putting the new crop in
merchantable shape have outweighed the fact
that the country has sold very little stuff while
the east has bought fair. quantity. Cash corn
was STEADY at u higher with the supply less
than shippers needs

more disposed to follow wheat and have at no

SEA Of FLAMES
FINALLY QUELLED
Burning Oil in San Pablo Reser-
vOir Subdued After Pro-
IOnged Fight

BERKELEY. April 22.-The sea Of
burning oil which bubbled up over the
big reservoir near San Pablo last night
and rushed in a seething. flaming mass
over the Santa Fe tracks to within so
feet of the Southern Pacific tracks after
a race of mile was quelled this morn
ing. only a smoldering in the big con-
crete tank showing the loss of 100000
barrels of oil which had been confined
there.
The country west of the tank is bar
rem and when the rush of oil spread
over nearly 800 acres of ground little
damage was done except to the Santa
Fe roadbed and the telegraph poles in
the path of the flames.
A stampede was nearly caused at the
Ludewig stock yards about mile and
a half from the tank, but there was no
loss of stock or property, although the
owners rushed the cattle to safety
when the burning oil approached.
TANK NOT BADLY DAMAGED
1t was found upon examination this
afternoon that in spite of the terrific
heat the big tank was not as badly
damaged as was at first supposed. 1t
is estimated that approximately $4,000
viii repair the damage, although the
heat of the little burning oil left in
the tank precluded all possibility Of
making careful estimates.
The value of the oil destroyed by the
fire is estimated at from 100000 to
$4,000 The damage to the Santa Fe
tracks was being repaired today and
it is expected that by tomorrow trains
viii be run over this right of way in
stead of by the detour over the lines
of the Southern Pacific.
l. D. Dimm, superintendent of the
refineries of the Standard oil company
at Richmond, said that the company
was at loss to account for the blaze
which started Wednesday night and
continued with vigor until today. He
said that oil in such tanks has been
known TO become ignited by the spon
taneous combustion of gases confined
in the oil and that this might be the
cause He strongly denied that the
blaze was of incendiary origin.
WILL NOW TAKE PRECAUTIONS
The officials of the company, as a
result of the loss of the oil in such
large quantity by the fire. are making
plans to run underground pipes to each
of their large tanks. These pipes will
act as an outlet to pump out the oil in
case a SIRE starts on the surface In
this way but little damage would be
done
The underground pipes viii also pre-
vent a repetition of the disaster of last
night when two feet of water in the
bottom of the tank, under the oil, be-
came heated and escaped in the form of
steam. In its upward fight an eXplo-
sion was caused and the oil dubbed
over. racing down hill to the dikes. one
of which it penetrated. Had there been
anything in its path the loss would
have been great.
