Cafnpbelttof,

st. John, N. b., July 19-"I do not
think the fire sufferers themselves or
the people of the province at large
have clear idea of the seriousness of
the situation at Campbellton."
This was the statement male over
the long distance telephone tonight by
Lieut.. Governor Tweedie at Cha liam.
His Honor had just returned from
Campbellton. q.
Il think" he said, 1T is absolutely
necessary for the people of the prov
irce to act at once. In II weeks cold
weather will be upon us and I dread to
think of the suffering at Campbellton
if the people there are not properly
housed. One can understand how to
the casual observer the situation looks
favorable, but when one stops to think
that many are now living In tents
while hundreds Of other poor people
are billeted with friends in the sur
rounding towns and villages, many of
whom have little means themselves.
the outlook takes on serious aspect
"A great deal of this financial as
sistance must necessarily be devoted
not only to those who have suffered.
but to those who are, ,befriending, and
providing for people. who lost every
thing in the fire of last week. We are
apt to forget that whatever insur-
ance was carried, will be paid to those
who are in most cases able to inquire
again. and will not aid the hundreds
of people who have absolutely moth
ing. ..
"ro me the situation looks grave
ami I wish to say emphatically that
unless financial assistance comes
quickly and in generous proportions,
think there will be great suffering In
Campbellton when the cold weather

GOVERNMENT REPORTS ON
THREE NEVADA COUNTIES

A reconnaissance of some mining
camps in EllSo, Lander and Eureka
counties, in north-central Nevada, has
been made by w. H. Emmons, geologist
of the United States geological survey,
whose report is just printed as the
surveys bulletin 40S. The region COW
cred, comprising 1000 square miles, has
produced silver and gold worth about
$50, ,000, 900.
Mr. Emmons sketches the geology of
the region and describes the ore de-
posits. The development at the nuIner-
Gus mines, the minerals of the veins
worked, and the character and mode OF
occurrence of the ores are noted in
detail.
Mining in this part of Nevada
reached its greatest activity in the
seventies and eighties and declined
rapidly in the nineties. In 1906 and 1907
new discoveries of gold ores gave fresh
zest to prospecting. Nearly every one
of the old camps was overhauled, the
mines and dumps were sampled, and in
some of them new ore bodies were
discovered. In consequence of the busi-
ness depression of 1907 prospecting
ceased and many of the mines were
closed. Prospecting has now been
taken up again and interest in THIS
region has been revived.
Mr.. Emmons report covers 130 pages
and includes one geologic and four
Topographic maps, as we'll as many text
figures. 1t can be obtained without
charge from the director of the survey

MELLWOOD AND OJAI
VALLEY LET CONTRACT

That the.affairs of the Mellwood Pc
troleum company and the Ojai Valley
Petroleum company are beginning TO
take shape for q profitable operation or
the several leases in Ventura county
and tho Kern river field is suggested
in visit of stockholders in the two
companies to the properties this week,
under the direction of w. l.. Twinng.
Mr., Twining says that the stockholders,
both local and those from Chicago, were
satisfied with the new arrangements
and had decided to contract with the
II. NJ b. Oil company, now comprising
w. L. Twining and Oliver Q. Bryant,
to drill twenty wells instead of ten, as
was the former arrangement.
The Ojai company, operating both AT
Santa Paula and in the Kern river field,
is deepening it's well No. l. and has just
completed derrick for we'll No. in the
Kern river field.
The Ojai has four wells completed In
Kern and three In Santa Paula
The Mellwood Tetrolsum company on
it's Kern river lease is said to have one
of the best wells in the field. This is
No. /, which was recently finished and
which is now flowing ninety barrels q
day of 15-gravity oil, and is said to
be increasing its production. The Nell
wood spudded in its well No.t2 yester-
day, and expects to hasten the work
until it is completed.
With the wells contracted for on the
MellWood lease the two companies will
drill twenty-six wells instead of ten.

SIERRA MADRE CLUB

AND START CAMPAIGN

Preliminary arrangements for the
Forthcoming convention of the Ameri-
can Mining congress, which will be
held here some time in October, will
be discussed at banquet at the Sierra
Madre club this evening, when the
directors will entertain the members.
The special committee appointed by
the directors at their last meeting,
consisting of Capt c. Henry Thomp-
son, II. A. Johnson and Sidney Nor
man, will present it's report, and If 1t
is ratified the machinery will be inn
mediately placed in motion to insure
the greatest and most successful meet
ing in the history of the congress.
President Montgomery. who will
shortly leave for Washington, d. c.,
accompanied by Secretary Norman, to
lobby for the bureau of mines bill now
before the senate, will preside at the
banquet and will call upon some of
the clubs best speakers for express
sions
Enthusiasm is running high among
the members and it is certain that a
large fund will be available for the
convention expenses and the subse-
quent entertainment of the delegates.
Every member now in the city is SIZE
cially urged to attend tonight

PYRAMID OIL COMP ANY
LEASES CHOICE TRACT

The Pyramid Oil company has just
taken a 20-year lease on the southeast
quarter of section 13, 4 north, range
81 west, S. B. NJ, which in plain Eng
lish is about five miles north of Santa
Paula.
The property adjoins wells of the
Empire Oil company and is said to be
a choice parcel of oil land.
The Pyramid Oil company has in Its
we'll on the Sisar creek property
reached a depth of between 600 and 700
feet, in blue clay formation.
The company is drilling day and
night and expects to strike the first oil
sand at 1000 feet and the second and
big sand at 1850 or 1400 feet.
This well is in direct line with the
Capital crude well on the adjoining
property, only a few hundred feet
away. The Capital crude well is now
doing 250 barrels of high gravity oil a
day through q four-inch casing
The Pyramid expects to furnish its
well in eight-inch casing and in that
event, If all signs hold good, this well
will be able to produce at least 500
barrels, and some have said the large
casing will make it possible for the
we'll to do 1000 barrels easily.

MAP SHOWS DEPTH OF
COALINGA OIL SANDS

The California Oil News and Digest
of Los Angeles for February Is, being
the second issue of that semi-monthly
publication, contains a cut of the
structural contour of the Coalinga
field, giving the depth at which oil
can be and has been encountered in
that field. BY dotted lines running
over the entire area of the proved ter
ritory is seen in numerals on each line
the depth of the oil-bearing strata.
At a glance it is seen that in one dis
equated section oil can be found at
depths ranging, say, from 1000 to 1900
feet.
The map is included in geological
survey report as Bulletin 357, prelim-
mary report of the Coalinga district"
By way of explanation of the map it
says: Suppose it is desired to find the
probable depth below the surface of
the first productive sand at the middle
of the north line of Sc. Il sec. "a, L.
20 S., r. Ia e. An examination of the
map will show that this point lies APP
proKimately on the underground con-
tour line marked 300 that is, the
top of zone B is here about 500 feet
below sea level. "A close approximation
of the elevation of the point may be
had by looking up the elevation for
the nearest derrick, which happens to
be Claremont No. T. elevation 1872 feet,
and calculating the difference in ele-
walton, say % feet lower, either by the
eye or with an aneroid barometer. The
distance from the surface to the top
of the oil zone mentioned would, there
fore, be 500 feet plus the 40 feet, or
approximately 1870 feet. AS zone B
is the uppermost productive zone for
this part of the field, the depth de-
sired is 1870 feet"
In the next issue of the Oil News
and Digest the geologic and structural
map of the Coalinga district will be
published from Bulletin 957. says the
