EAT AND GET THIN

This is turning an old phrase face about but modern methods of reduc- ing fat have made this revision pos sible.
 If you are overfat and also averse to physical eXertion and likewise fond of the table and still want to reduce your excess flesh several pounds, do this: Go to your druggist Cor write the Marmola Co.,. S79 Farmer Bldg, Detroit, Mich.) and give him Cor send them) 75 cents. For this modest amount of money the druggist will put you in the way of satisfying your am- bition for a nice, trim, slim figure. He will hand you a large case of Mar mola Prescription Tablets (compound- ed in accordance with the famous Marmola Prescription), one of which you must take after each meal and at bedtime until you begin to lose your fat at the rate of 12 to 16 ounces day. That is all. Just go on eat ing what you like, leave exercising to the athletes, but take your little tablet faithfully and without a doubt that f1abby flesh will quickly take unto itself wings, leaving behind it your natural self, neatly clothed in firm flesh and trim muscles.

The natives

tive quarter and bazaar. The natives are entirely different from the Hindoos' First are Lepchis, who were the aoor- ieines of the country. They live ID the woods, are timid and shy and come lnto town with honey, fruits, nuts and hand made curios, ard exchange them for salt-at least they say that that IS all they buy. They raise everything else themselves or catch it in the woods. Next are the Napalese, sharp, keen little chaps, who learn English quickly and do most of the business of the town. They hold most of the respon- sible positions held by natives. There are a few Hindoos, few Rajpoots and a Sikh occasionally A familiar figure is the Thibetan Llama or priest. He often dresses in yellow, always has servant and is much respected by his followers. I cannot separate the Booliau from the Thibetan. They dress alike, look alike, have the same customs and same religion, although one is in China and the other is in h. dia. They are dirty and lousy, they never change their clothes, they are liars and thieves, and have no moral character whatever. A woman will have two or three hus bands, all living happily together and without jealousy. Love is free and virtue is unknown among them. Yet liked them better than the natives of Bengal. They are~ heavily built, sturdy manly fellows with brutal but open countenances. They have nothing shy or sinking about them. They are goodnatured and quick tempered, are very fond of fighting and have keen sense of humor. Their humor is, of course, coarse, as 1 noticed many times. As our train was ready to leave Darjuling crowd of them stood around selling curios. Oae big fellow had just closed a bargain selling native dagger to a
  a rug over his head and held it tightly. The other men an women laughed and screamed, our train pulled out the sale broken off, the rug over the mans head and covering bis eyes. Of course there would be a fight At the bazaar on Sunday you see all those people. There is for sale bananas, beans, barley, rice, peas, maize, cucumbers, ouions, toma- toes, potatoes and semi tropical fruits. The tomatoes were as large as oceans, the potatoes as large as peanuts. They have brass gods, prayer mills, puzzle boxes, swords, knives and daggers, beads, etc. A bazaar in India seems to be any place where they sell things-a market, business street or shop all are called bazaars.
 The botanic garden was interesting. Besides the tropical plants and trees l saw the cedar, pine, juniper, the Can adian tamarack and the California red wood.
 In the cemetery saw two interesting graves-that of General Lloyd, who first occupied Darjuling 70 years ago; the other of Cosmos, a Hungarian, who went to Thibet to study the language, compiled a grammar and dictionary, went out to have them published, was on his way in again when he died in Darjuling.

CALIFORNIA ASPHALT BEST
, TO BE FOUND IN THE WORLD
Comparison Between the Eastern
and Western Product

Asphalt from California oils corre-
spends to the eastern petroleum resi-
dunn, the difference being that the
eastern oils leave a greasy residue,
while that from California oil is
bituminous. The method of manu-
facture is to pump the oil into large
sheet steel stills, where it is boiled
while steam is passed through.
The distillate passing off is conducted
into products generally resembling
those from eastern oil, while the resi-
due left in the still is hard or soft
asphalt, according to what proportion
of the crude oil has been boiled off,
After cutting off the fire the asphalt
is allowed to cool somewhat, trans
ferred to cooling cylinders, where it is
left until ready to be drawn into bar
rels.
The purity and value of the asphalt
depend on the quality of oil used (the
heavier oils usually making the best
asphalt), the temperature reached by
the still (the lower the better) and the
manipulation Of the steam. Great diff
ferences are often noted in the quality
of the asphalt made from the same oil
by different operators.
The asphalt as finished may be of
any hardness at will and in quality cor
responds very closely with the cores
ponding grades of natural asphalt, ex-
cept that it Is almost pure bitumen,
while almost all asphalts occurring in
nature contain more or less mineral
matter.
The old prejudice against artificial
asphalt has almost disappeared.
Indeed, California oil asphelt can
hardly be called an artificial asphalt,
as the asphalt is largely contained as
such in the crude oil, requiring only
the removal of the excess of LIQUID ele-
ments, while a strictly artificial as
phalt is made by some mixture or
chemical reaction from other sub
stances
The black oils of California on being
allowed to dry in the sun leave a
large residue of the finest quality of
asphalt.

From Mines and Oil Fields
MIDWAY FIVE OIL CO.
LOOKING FOR GUSHER
Corporation Asserts That Prod
uCt Is Held for Better
Prices so Cents

The Midway Five Oil company drill
ing on thirty acres patented ground
on section 5-S2-2S North Midway, has
entered the brown shales everything
the main oil sands at 1855 feet. Presl-
dent Henningsen says: within the
next 100 feet of sinking we should en-
ter the gusher sands. We look for an
initial production Of not less than
is, 900 barrels daily" The Midway
Five we'll is between the United and
Santa Fe on the north and the Hale
Mcleod wells on the south. East of
the property are the LeBelle and st.
Lawrence gushers.
1t is said the company has received
an offer of 47'1s cents per barrel for
their entire production but will not
sign a contract, believing that they
will be able to get 80 cents per barrel
better for their oil, and maintaining
that the big transportation corpora
tions are short on their contracts and
that the talk of overproduction and
low prices is for one purpose only
to frighten the small producers to
selling at any figure, that the corpora
tions might be able to secure enough
contracts to guarantee the production
they need before the true state of af
fairs is generally known and the price
of oil scars upward.

OLD VULTURE MINE
AGAIN IN OPERATION
Property Has a Record of More
Than $16,000,0O0 to
Its Credit

PRESCOTT Sept S.-Earl Rogers,
who has been at the Vulture mine,
near Wickenburg, during the erection
of the new mill for r. c. Jenson,
who is also contracting on that job
for the D. d. Demerest company of
San Francisco, Cal, says that this
company, who purchased the once IA
nous Vulture mine, which had a
production record of over S16,000,00
to it's credit and was still reported
to be a good mine, have now about
completed a system of development
that will insure its record of produc-
ton to more than the development
necessary to place it upon it's one
time record producing gait as a gold
producer.
Mr.. Rogers says that two shafts
are now in operation, one being 600
feet deep and the other 400 feet. The
company has recently installed a
new twenty-stamp mill in connection
with the old mill of the same number
of stamps. In addition to this they
have installed a new cyanide system
which will handle a continuous per-
collation. system Of tailings, instead
ling by the hour. The future out
look for this section of country is
very favorable looking toward the in
creasing of the production of north
ern Arizona. This company has $50
men at the mine, and the stamps
used in the new mill are the heav-
lest ever imported to this country
Weighing 1900 pounds each.

STANDARD OIL co. CAPS
ITS GREAT GUSHER WELL

The Standard OH company has
finally succeeded in Gaping it's great
gas well on section 26-31-23, after
many weeks of preparatory work di-
rected by an expert sent out from the
New York headquarters.
The we'll came in last April, when it
caught fire and burned for weeks, the
flames being finally extinguished by
steam. Many previous efforts had
been made to cap the well, but until
today all had resulted in failure, and
in one of these four men narrowly es-
capped death in an accident due to the
great pressure oil gas.
An attempt was made recently to
measure the flow, which was only par
TALLY successful. The flow through
the twelve-inch pipe measured 100000
900 cubic feet daily. Surrounding the
twelve-inch pipe is a fifteen and five
eighths inch casing, and the flow be-
tween the two could not be measured.
It is certain that enough gas comes
from this well every twenty-four
hours to supply the whole of Southern
California.

PRODUCERS OF OIL
ELECT DIRECTORS
S. C. Graham WIthdraws from
Western Association After
Result of Election Is Told

Members of the Western OIL Pro-
ducers' association held a stirring
meeting last night in the assembly
room of the chamber of commerce
following the election of eleven mem
bers of the board of directors. Twen-
ty-two names were on the printed list
and there were a number of men
voted for whose names were not on
the ballot. Those elected by major
tiles ranging from SS to 121 were: W.
w Orcutt, S. G. Guiberson, I. A.
O'Donnell, Capt. John Barneson, Will
liam Matson, M. H. Whittier julius
Fried, Fred H. Hail. F. N. Scofield,
DR.. Norman Bridge and John H. Ba-
ker. jr.
Later the directors will meet and
elect officers.
Following the announcement of the
result, S. c. Graham, who had been
serving as chairman, arose, and be-
sides rendering his resignation as
chairman requested the secretary to
remove his name from the roster as
a member of the organization. He eX-
planned that he felt he should with
draw from the organization, as he be-
lieved that while all of the members
were his friends the members of the
board as elected were not in harmony
with his views of conservation. At
tempts were made, chiefly by Charles
P. Fox, to persuade Mr. Graham to
reconsider his action, but he stood
firm for the position taken, and, while
he occupied the chair to the end of
the meeting, he severed his connection
with the organization with the state
ment that he would still act for the
best interests of the oil industry.
Capt. Wharton, vice president of
the Skiddoo Mining company, offered
a resolution requesting the newly
elected board of directors to use their
best efforts to secure a union or ANAL
gamation of California oil men or
other organizations identified with
tie oil industry to the end that the
best interests of the industry may be
subserVed. 'at + !
Capt. Wharton held that all OF the
oil men should get together if they
would accomplish anything effective.
Charles p. Fox opposed the resolu-
ton offered and presented an amend
ment to the effect that all other or
ganizations cooperate whenever in
the Judgment of the directors it was
deemed advisable for the interests of
the oil men. The amendment was
voted down and the Wharton motion
was adopted.
Mr.. Fox, who had called the meet
ing of the California oil men, stated
that the organization was not formed
in opposition to any other oil asso-
citation, but for the purpose of prose-
cutting a fight in Washington that will
untangle present conditions and render
Justice to those who have expended
their money and labor in the oil in
dustry.
Capt Wharton suggested that the
American Mining congress to be held
in Los Angeles would be a potent
factor in the interest of the mining
and oil men, and that resolutions
adopted by that body. by delegates
who understand the real situation,
would be of powerful influence with
the land department of the govern
ment and with congress.

ONLY QUARTER OF LAND
AT COALINGA DRILLED

The absolutely proved area of Coal
inga might be taken at about 124
square miles, probable area variously
taken at from two to four times that
area. Not over one-quarter of this
twenty-four square miles is actually
drilled.
Proved area of Midway is somewhere
about twenty-five square miles, but
there are indications that it will ulti-
mately prove to be very much larger
than this.
Proved area Of Sunset about nine
square miles.
Proved area of Kern River about
fourteen square miles.
Proved area Of McKittrick about
four square miles.
Proved area of Santa Maria about
thirty square miles, with possibilities
of wide extensions.
Proved area of all the Southern
fields taken together, somewhere
about thirty to forty square miles.
There are large areas of prospective
territory here also.

26,OOO,OOO BARRELS OF OIL
NOW IN STORAGE FOR USE

Reports for the storage of oil in this
state show that in July the amount of
the crude product held in reserve was
26, 900 900 barrels. This does not take
into consideration the amount OF OIL
held in storage by the railroads and
refineries and other large consumers.
This amount of oil is held largely by
the big companies. The stock on hand
can be roughly divided as follows:
Standard Oil company, 15,OOO,0OO bar
rels; Union agency, 100000 barrels,
with about 100000 barrels kept on tap
by the Associated OIL company. Ex-
perts who have studied the field state
that the supply kept on hand should
be at least fifty million barrels. The
amount of storage is increasing, how
ever, and will probably reach the de-
sired mark soon.
