Plans for the Temple
The new temple committee, which is

authority to employ an architect and
provide plans for the structure. The

the upper floors, leaving the first for
stores and business houses, has been
abandoned and there will only be the
lodge rooms, temple equipment and
such things that are part of the state
headquarters of great order.
The lot bought is at the corner of
Dexter avenue and McDonough street.

and there is about $4,000 now in the
building fund. During the year every
thing will be arranged SO that at the
next grand lodge meeting, to be held

will be issued and the work at once
begun. In the meantime Grand Keep

has occupied the building owned by the
order, having his office in one of the
large downstairs front rooms.
There is everything to make confident

1s TO 1 MINE TO OPEN

NEVADA CITY, Nov. 14.-Opera-
tions are about to be resumed at the
16 to 1 mine near Allegheny. The
Bradburys have bonded the mine to
a company In which L. e. Lee and
others of San Francisco are interested.
A couple of the members of the new
company have been at Allegheny for
several days making arrangements to
take over the property and commence
active work.
The new company intends to de-
velop the 16 to ] in a thorough man
ner They have secured the electric
plant on the Oriental mine, which will
be moved to the 16 to l and placed in
operation. The plant will be adequate
for furnishing power for sinking and
pumping, as it is the intention OF the
company to sink shaft from the
main working tunnel which will go
down on the course Of the vein.
People remember the phenomenal
stories Of riches extracted from the
16 to 1 a year ago last summer. It is
believed that with depth the rich
shoot will again blossom out and that
the property will prove a valuable one

NJ. AND ]. BRINGS IN BIC
GUSHER NEAR LAKEVIEW v
Stump Holes Are in Readiness to
Catch Output Estimated at
100000 Barrels Daily

Another big gusher was brought in
in the Maricopa- Midway district Sat-
urday when the No. l of the M. and J..
Oil company on section sc, 1924, less
than one-half mile from the famous
Lakeview well, began flowing at the
rate of 10000 barrels a day. The COM
pany had been expecting a big well
and was finishing IT up fully expecting
a gusher. When the oil began to flow
full preparations had been made and
five big gates were on the casing head
ready to regulate the flow.
The preliminary precautions were
we'll taken and Sunday the well was
flowing steadily. The output is well
under control and is shooting at the
rate of from 1900 to 1000 barrels an
hour. The gusher flowed steadily
throughout the night without any sign
of sand trouble and from all signs
there is not the slightest diIninution
of pressure.
The we'll is about 1900 feet deep and
is finished in 8-inch casing. 1t was
begun last winter by a company or
ganized by M. J. Laymance, the we'll
known Oakland real estate man, and
associates, who are interested in the
Ethel D. and a number of other prop
critics in the same field.
Sky Tryon had charge Of the prop
erty until recently. Hi Shafer, the
superintendent of the Ethel D. COM
pany, brought in the gusher. Stump
hole and other storage facilities had
been provided for and when the we'll
started to flow the oil was handled
without loss.

OIL MEN NAME PART OF
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
Seven Prominent Operators and
Attorneys Will Visit Wash
ington for Industry

At the meeting of the oil men at
Bakersfield Saturday for the purpose
of discussing land Withdrawals in west
side fields a committee was appointed
to lay before officials at Washington
the wishes of the oil men here. The
committee so far comprises Frank H.
Short, Thomas A. O'Donnell and S. A.
Guiberson. Seven is the number des-
ignated as the committee. The other
members will be selected later.
The other four members of the COM
mittee will be named, one each by the
Kern county board of trade, the Coal
inga chamber of commerce, the Cali
fornia Oil Mems association and the
Western Oil Producers association,
these being the four organizations that
united in the call for the meeting Sat
urday.
A resolution adopted follows.
"ResolVed That it is the sense of
this convention that the rulings of the
land department in relation to the oil
mineral lands of the country should
be made consistent with the decisions
of the courts as then understood and
to that end bona fide claims acquired
and developed in good faith under
such laws and decisions and the rul-
ings of the department should be val
idated and confirmed, and in order to
remove uncertainty and to encourage
the development and improvement of
the oil mining lands and the oil in
dustry, a remedial act OF congress
should be Immediately passed, under
which all bona fide claims located
and developed or undergoing develop
ment in good faith, may be patented"

AGENCY NOW HANDLES
OIL FROM MIDWAY AND
SUNSET MEMBERS WELLS

oil run from the Midway and Sunset
fields by the Producers Agency was be-
gun Sunday. This follows the opening
Of the Producers' line for oil at Coal
inga two days ago. No general run of
oil has been carried from any of these
west side fields since the pipes were
filled with Lakeview oil about two
months ago.
1t is now believed that the LAkeview
situation has been so relieved that there
is no longer danger from the winter
rains. Some time ago oil from the ia
nous gusher was tanked up in earthen
sumps away down on the flat. 1t was
feared that when the rains came on they
would Cause these sumps to break and
not only bring about the loss of much
oil, but possibly precipitate the back
flood into tho Buena Vista lake.
The statement is made that when the
proper connections are made with the
Associated line, as they will be In the
near future, the combined interests can
carry 10000 barrels of oil q day out of
the Midway-Sunset district.

PROSPECTUS MISLEADS;
PROMOTER IS ARRESTED
Complaint Alleges MiSrepresenta'
tion Through Statements of
Rich Ore Ready for Mill

HANFORD, Nov. IA. L. Harlow,
one Of the directors of the Parlier Min
ing company, was held in $4,000 bonds
by Justice Ferguson to answer to the
charge of having issued and circulated
q false prospectus and sold stock in the
company under a Misrepresentation.
The complainant is c. H. Bailey of Le-
moore, who claims to be one of the
duped stockholders.
1t was charged that the company
issued prospectus with regard to it's
Yellow Jacket, Ophir and Good Luck
mines covering 100 acres In the case
of the Yellow Jacket the prospectus
claimed that it had piled up, ready for
milling, 1000 tons of ore at a value
of $35 ton, aggregating $4,000. and
in the case of the Good Luck, $160,000.
The prospectus claims that the COM
pany owned the property, but as a
matter of fact it only had a contract
to purchase it. The particulars set
forth that the stock is worcestershire,
when as a matter Of fact it is assess
able. 1t is further alleged that the
prospectus claimed that the company
had money to prosecute the mining
operations, all of which representa-
tions were declared to be false.
1t was shown in evidence by an Oak
land printer that he had printed the
prospectus and that the printing was
paid for in stock.
w. ]. Wilson of Grangeville, stock
holder, and A. B. Buckner of Lemoore,
another stockholder, testified that hey
had purchased stock upon the repre-
sentations of the defendant and the
prospectus.
]. E. Conde, superintendent of the
company's mines, was called and after
a long siege of questioning it devel-
oped that the statements in the pros
pectus were not made upon statements
by him. He said the statements are
untrue.
