FUNERAL RANCE SCENE
Of FREE GOLD STRIKE

Ore carrying free gold in large guam
titles has been found on new group
of claims. located in the Funeral range
of mountains, twenty-eight miles from
Zobriskie on the Tonopah and Tide
water railroad.
This intelligence was received yes
terday by the owners, who are Los
Angeles capitalists. They are c. A.
Garfield, A. ]. Prosser, Joe Galbraith,
A. p Lee, DIR. A. ]. Petite and Dr.
Ray D. Robinson. A Dispatch show
ing the results of a series of assays,
states that the average value of an
ore body three and a half feet wide
and more than 400 feet long. as de-
veloped to date is from $50 to $50 a
ton. Some of the streaks run into the
thousands.
The report was not unexpected. Sam
pies of the rock received recently
showed much free gold, and as the
character of ore was reported to be
growing richer with development the
owners felt confident that the prop
erty would prove a sensational one.
The group comprises seven claims
and the ore body, now only partly de-
veloped, runs through the entire claim.
The results of work have proved of
such pleasing character that the own
ers now will arrange to put in mill
in order to extract the gold. There
is plenty of water and fuel in the
district, which is famous as highly
mineralized section.

ASSOCIATED CONTRACTS
TO FURNISH RAILROADS
IN NORTH WITH SUPPLY

The Associated Oil company has just
plucked a plum in the oil market OF
the Pacific northwest by landing a big
contract with the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railroad. The terms of the con-
tract are unknown further than the
fact that it is to run over a term of
three wears, and several million barrels
of oil will be delivered in the aggregate.
The Associated is preparing to begin
the delivery Immediately, and in fact
the first cargo has been run, the new
tanker-the ]. A. Chanslor-unloading
at the supply station at Linnton Sat
urday. ,
The railroad Is preparing to use oil
entirely. The new equipment has been
ordered and the converting of the loco
motives from coal burners to oil burn
ers is now under way.
The Associated has already ordered a
duplicate Of the tanker j. A. Chanslor,
and it is reported that still another
tanker of the same type is to be ordered
to supply the rapidly growing trade in
this section of the country. Closing Of
further large contracts in the northwest
is to be expected. Within short time
many of the railroads are expected to
be burning oil.

SPELLACY BELIEVES
IN MANY GUSHERS
Prominent Operator Says Pres
ent Era of Production
Will Benefit California

Discussing the question as to
whether the present enormous output
of oil in California is good or bad for
the oil industry Timothy Spellacy, one
of the most experienced and pest
known operators in the state, declares
in favor of them. He says:
orrhe gusher era will be found to
have proved a wonderful thing lot
California's oil industry. All that the
great nations of the world need Is TO
be assured of a constant supply OIL
oil. and they will adopt oil as a tuel:
In the Caspian sea 10000 barrels Oh
oil a month are used on the steamers
With sufficient oil in storage every
steamer on the Pacific ocean would use
California crude oil as fuel.
"Were all our Pacific ocean steamers
70 use California oil they would con-
sllme at least 1000 barrels OF OIL a
month. One of the greatest dlt1cul-
ties in presenting in the United states
navy department the advantages that
would accrue from the use of crude OIL
as fuel has been the fact that no ar
gument could be put forth Whlch Woulu
assure the officials that enough OIL
cou1d be had to keep the vessels golnS
at all times Of the year. AS long as
oil is the cheapest and most economic
oIIv handled fuel it will be certain TO
command a market as against coal
''I remember years ago in the ONO
fields when the Cudahys bought oil at
20 cents a Darrell and used 1t In prefer
ence TO coal at 81 a ton. The coal they
used was coal siftings, but they found
that although at that time oil as fuel
was relatively more expensive thah
coal. vet it cost them less to use
n. because it could be more cheapIy
handled. -4,.
aqe facilities for fuel oil is one Of the
Great works that will occupy the oil
men for the next year. If we had 3D.
600 900 barrels of oil in storage we
would have an inducement TO urge tnaI
all the great liners on the Facllic
should adopt oil as fuel And II Is
certain that under these conditions
thew would do so. The saving would
be an economic certainty.
"A New York paper recently salu
that If the liner Lusitania used OIL as
fuel instead of coal it would save $oo'
noo on +he round trip to Europe and
hack. Another feature of the produc-
fion of the big gushers it that they
have already created greater InarheSs
for oil. The contract of the lndepenu7
ents with the Great Northern rallroau
viii assure a market for 5000 barrels
of oil a day ,4- l., 49,,
an increasing production of oil invari-
ah1v means an increasing market. This
has been the history of the Oil INDUS
trv in California in the past and Il
will he inevitably found to be true II
regard to the future, because oil is th'
cheapest fuel"

our prospecting was somewhat limited
but after taking samples from thirty
