ENGLISH LABOR PARTY
LEADERS SEEK PEACE

LONDON, July S.-The labor party
is much dissatisfied with the attempts
of the Liberal and Unionist leaders to
patch up a compromise on the mouse OF
lords veto question. Speaking on sat
urday at an Independent Labor demon
stration at Burghley Brooke park, near
Loughboro, Philip Snowden, NJ. p, re-
marked that with respect to the house
of lords question it did not matter for
the purposes of practical politics
whether or not the government were In
earnest about it. The Labor party were
in earnest. Ii it should turn out that
the government did not prosecute this
campaign to a conclusion, which would
forever take away the power of that
institution to oppose the democratic
will, then the Labor party would have
something to say about it, and so would
the people. He believed that If the
government receded one single inch
from the conditions embodied in the
resolutions in the house of commons,
if there were an agreement between
the representatives of the Liberal party
and the Unionist party for what they
called a settlement of the constitutions
question which allowed the house of
lords to retain the shadow of veto
power over financial measures or a
permanent veto upon general leglsla-
ton then the Liberal party was dead
without the hope of resurrection
Ramsey Mcdonald. NJ p, said that
the recent political condition was
rather uncertain They were not quite
sure what was going to happen. Il
am bound to say" he went on, Il am
sorry that there is going to be any
political conference. l am sorry that
there is going to be any attempt-made
even by the two front benches to meet
and discuss and bargain and try to
find common standing ground. If
there is going to be conference, as
member of the Labor party / deny
the right of the two front benches to
settle it. There are other benches.
am not saying that the Labor party
even if it were invited would take
part in the consideration of the mat
ter If the conference is to be held 1t
ought to be a house of commons con-
ference and not a parliamentary con-
ference.

STANDARD CONTRACTS
TO TAKE OIL FROM THE
CONSOLIDATED MIDWAY

1t was semi-officially announced yes
terday that the Consolidated Midway Oil
company, w. p. Story building, operating
in several Midway and Kern river sec
tions, had just contracted with the
Standard Oil company for its production.
The contract price, IL is said. will be
somewhere between soc and Coo a bar
rel, and the quantity of oil to be taken
is said to be very large.
About ten days ago the Consolidated
Midway brought in 10000 barrel
gusher near the famous Lake View. The
hole was capped and thereby placed
under control before much oil was
wasted. The hole has 1O-inch casing
and it is estimated the production from
this well will be enormous.
Work is progressing on other proper
ties of the Consolidated Midway and the
contract entered into with the standard
will, 1t is said, provide ample market
for the output.

GUN MEN PATROL
GOVERNMENT LAND
Guards from Mining Camps Arc
Detailed in Midway to
Protect Property

TAFT, July S.-Persons travelling
through the Maricopa and Midway
fields and the Buena Vista hills are met
everywhere by guards who are holding
land against jumpers. 1t is estimated
that there are fully 1000 men engaged in
this work, many of them armed and
prepared TO resist invasion by force.
Several auto parties travelling at night
have been stopped and questioned as
to their destination.
Many of these guards are old-time
''gun men" from the mining camps,
some of them are eX-cowboys and some
are from the city. So far there have
been no serious clashes, the jumper
having made his point when he or his
forces have been forcibly elected; this
enabling him to go into court and Sc
cure an injunction restraining the
other fellow from interfering. There
are land claimants, however, who are
inclined to get rough in the election
process, so that there is always a
chance for a fight.
The professional guards have c. j.
Lyman of Goldfield to thank for their
present employment. The situation had
about cleared up, with organization in
April of the West Side claim owners
and their agreement to arbitration,
and the guards found themselves with
but little to do. Along comes Lyman
and puts locations on half section
of choice land claimed by the Standard,
and another half section, the property
of the Honolulu Consolidated. As a
consequence, and to prevent the ener-
getic jumper getting too promiscuous'
claimants to government land on which
discovery has not been made are taking
no chances.
The work of the guard is anything
but pleasant; his duty is to patrol u
certain piece of land, in the daytime
under the fierce rays of the sun, with
no shade bigger than that afforded by
the sage brush, and at night with sur
roundings but little better. The pay is

FIGURES SHOW RECORD
SHIPMENTS IN IRON ORE

The United States geological survey
has just issued a short report by John
Birkinbine, the we'll known statistician
of iron production, on the movement of
Lake Superior iron ores in 1909. The
most striking feature of this report is q
map which shows the routes of ship
ment of the ores and the points to
which they were shipped
The total shipment of iron ores from
the Lake Superior region in 1909
amounted to 42,504110 long tons, a
quantity greater than that shipped in
any preceding year. Most of this ore
was shipped by water during the seven
or eight months of the year when navi-
CATION is possible on the Great Lakes.
The principal shipping docks are at
Two Harbors and Duluth, Mimi; Su-
perior and Ashland, Wis, and Mar
quette, Mich. Nearly 36,OO0,OOO tons
shipped from the docks passed through
the Sault ste. Marie canals and through
Lakes Michigan and Huron to their
places of destination, the greater part
of the ore being delivered at the receiV-
ing docks at Toledo, Sandusky, Huron
Lorain, Cleveland. Fairport, Ashta-
bula and Conneaut, o.: Erie, Pa, and
Buffalo and Tonawanda, N. Y. Most
of the ore received at these ports is
consumed in eastern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania In 1909 about 23,OO0OOO
tons were sent to the Cleveland and
Pittsburg region.
The Lake Superior ores represent
about so per cent of the total iron ore
production of the United States. The
production of iron ore in the Lake SUI
perior region, by ranges. to the close of
1909 is shown in the following table:

CONSOLIDATED MIDWAY
WELL FLOWS BY HEAD
GuSher Under Control Makes 200
Barrels Every Squirt Last
ing Twelve Minutes

MARICOPA, July S.-Flowing by
heads every thirty minutes, the Con-
solidated Midway well on fractional
section so is making from $50 to 200
barrels of oil at every squirt. The well
flows through a lead pipe for periods
of about twelve minutes each, and the
oil is of % gravity.
The bridge which formed was bailed
out to within eight feet of the bottom
before the oil started to flow. 1t is the
purpose of the management to get the
hole thoroughly cleared of sand,
which should be accomplished by the
we'll itself, as the sand was entered
with a ten-inch string, and there is, in
consequence not so much chance for
the sand to choke it. The well is
equipped with a heavy gate over the
ten-inch string, enabling the men to
shut it off at any time it may seem
necessary or to regulate the flow at
will.
Tanks have been erected in which to
store the oil. and word comes from the
offices of the company at Los Angeles
that the directors have appointed a
committee of five to negotiate con-
tract for the output of the well.

GROWS TO 5000 BARRELS

COALINGA, July 8.-Since it began
growing unaccountably in production,
the No. well of the American Petro-
leum company on section 3O-2O-15 is
causing some anxiety. Superintendent
Tom Crumpton is affected by the fear
that is the bugaboo Of many of the
oil people now-he fears "another Lake
view"
The well was brought in some time
ago with a light production, but began
at once to grow like a healthy baby,
until on June IS it was weaned and
became a real grown-up gusher Since
that time it has continued to grow,
and now the production is estimated at
5000 barrels daily.

RUMOR AGAIN REEVES
SALE OF THE PEERLESS

The fact that John NJ. Wright, presi-
dent of the Peerless and Fulton Oil
companies, has gone to England re-
wives the persistent rumors that these
great oil properties are about to pass
into the hands of English capital.
The story has been published once
or twice formerly, and that a sale was
,ending was not denied by the Peer
less people. The departure of Mr..
Wright at this time is therefore con-
sidered somewhat significant by oil
men.
The Wright interests comprise the
Peerless Oil company, the southeast
quarter of section 81, 2S-2S, in the Kern
river field; the Fulton Oil company,
120 acres in southwest quarter of section

PAJARO VALLEY LANDS

The new oil field in the Pajaro valley
is attracting considerable attention, and
oil experts and eminent biologists who
have examined the territory say that
in their opinion the field is underlaiC
with productive oil sand. Drilling ope-
rations are now being carried on about
500. feet above the sea level, and thus
far two oil sands have been encoun-
tered the first of which is said to be
forty feet and the second 10 feet thick
A heavy production is expected when
the third sand is encountered. The

GUT IN MARKET PRICE
ONLY TEMPORARY TACTIC
Fresno Oil Men DiSCredit Rumor
War Is Brewing Among
Big Interests

FRESNO July S.-As an indication
that the reported cut in prices of oil
from the dollar mark to 80 cents by
the Standard Oil company does not
presage open war among the big oil
marketing concerns of the state, the
fact came to light yesterday that the
Standard Oil company is continuing to
take daily runs of oil after expiration
of contracts at the old price of so cents
a barrel.
The opinion is advanced that this big
concern would not be going ahead or
it's contracts to take oil at the fgure
of so cents if there were impending a
struggle for cheap oil and a war with
slashing of prices.
On the strength of the new deVel-
opment, some operators in the Midway
who a few weeks ago were feeling
rather blue and actually suspended
operations on their properties, sare now
drilling again.
1t is said one run which the Standard
is taking now, though the contract has
expired, amounts to something like
1000 barrels a month.
The Standard, with its new pipe line
from the Midway and Sunset district
into Bakersfield just finished, has a
double capacity for transporting west
Side petroleum now. 1t has been true
that the company was going slow with
it's own work in the Midway field be-
cause it could not handle all the Oil
it might pump up itself, and still full
fill transportation contracts The &C
ton of the company in receiving daily
runs of oil even after contracts have
expired is associated to some extent,
in the opinion of oil men, with their
added carrying facilities. Besides, as
one oil man remarked yesterday: If
the Standard is going ahead that way,
you can put it down there is no price
war about to be sprung in this state
BEAR MOVEMENT
What then, he was asked, is the
meaning of the move of last week.
which in the absence of denials Is
pretty generally accepted as a fixed
fact? What about the cut in prices?
Desire to buy oil is the obvious an
swer one meets to this question. The
opinion is advanced that the Asso-
ciated, which is known not to have
entered into any contracts worth
counting for months, is now short, and
the cut in prices was a move to bring
some cheap oil to the market.
However this is, the evidence yester-
day was summed up by one of the
widely posted oil men in Fresno as in
dicating that the furry in prices was
a temporary move and that no oil war
of any proportions is impending.
Besides, it is being pointed out that
the Union Oil company has a club in
the shape of the output of the Lake
view WELL which would make it sui
eide for any other concern to under
take a price-cutting duel. The oil from
this well hasn't brought in any divi-
dends to the stockholders yet. 1t is
believed that in case of trouble start
ing. the Lakeview people would be
rather glad to get their product on the
market even at a concession. And that
it's a club the others could not buck
with success is believed to be pretty
obvious.
