and silver values that are not found
by fire assay. The fire assay shows
all the gold and silver values that can
be recovered by any metallurgical
process"
To discredit and brand as false the
impression left by the Harris-Cherry-
French promoters that their Pofessor
Watts or Watt is the real Professor
w. L. Watts the latter writes:
II would say that J. have never ex-
amined any claims in Dalton canyon,
that l have never had anything to do
with any patent oil, secret metallurgical
process and that 1 am not connected
with the Watt Mines Supply COM
pany."
After Pierson had looked into the
matter with a probable view to in
Vestment, he wrote to G. r. Harris
advising him that he believed it best
after talking with j. Gardner Scott,
who owns property contiguous to the
Bon Ton group, to employ an expert
to examine the claims. He received
an answer from Harris, excerpts OF
which are as follows:
your friend Mr.. Scott is right in
his contention that it is customary for
a prospective buyer to send his own
mining expert to the property and
thoroughly sample and report on the
same | have made many reports on
other peoples property, carrying out
still more in detail the method out
lined by him, keeping all my samples
under lock and key and wax sealed un-
til they are in the hands OF the as
sayer
GAS we have not offered our prop
erty for sale, of course, have not had
any reports made on it, but are ready
and willing to fully convince any one
of the merits of the property, that we
desire to interest with us in the de-
volopment and proving up of the same
We will be very pleased TO go with
you to the property, or will go with
YOU to see DR.. Watt or any of the other
chemists in this city who have treat
ed the ores and give you every oppor-
tunity to convince yourself that there
are unlimited possibilities in these
properties when the proper system of
treating the ores is fully worked out,
and it is for this purpose that we are
asking a limited amount or capital,
as we do not desire to sell the prop
erty, neither do we propose to ask
any amount of capital to build the
plant, until we are sure we are right;
all we are asking is for some one to
ioin us in furnishing small amount
of capital to fully demonstrate the
property. BY doing this they will not be
investing any more than we have al
ready invested in time and money dur
ing the past year to bring this prop
erty up to it's present condition.
''In order not to relay reply to your
letter am enclosing you herewith a
number original assay certificates
of these ores; those marked with blue
pencil being the black rock under dis
cussion. The .'iginals from one of the
chemists are out of my office at the
present, but I can get them in day
or so, if you desire"
In another letter to Pierson de-
scriptive\ of the property and their
prospects for huge returns, Harris
wites:

MIDWAY
STRIKES DEEP SAND

The California Midway, operating IN
section 80, 21-28 north Midway, en-
tered the oil sand stratum Tuesday at
a. depth of 2SSO feet. David Kinsey,
the superintendent, believes he has the
big well that he and the stockholders
have been expecting for weeks.
The well is one of the deepest in the
north Midway field, and the formation
all the way down has been Identical
with that Of the Crandall and Santa
E1e wells
Kinsey landed six and one-half-inch
casing at a depth of 1850 feet, and
reached a depth Of 2710 feet in four
and five-eighth casing, where strong
pressure of gas and some oil spots
were encountered.
At this depth he struck the water
stratum which also appeared in the
Crandall and Santa Fe, causing ru-
NOR to go abroad that the well had
been ruined by flood Of water in the
oil sand. But this was a mistake, as
the water is known to lie just above
the oil sand in the formation of the
field.
AS soon as casing was adjusted Kin
sey proceeded with the well until Tues
day, when at a depth OF 1880 feet the
oil sand was entered, and now, it is
said, big well is assured as soon as
the hole can be cleaned out.

COALlNGA CRUDE OIL
COMPLETES DERRICK

Derricks have been completed. at the
property of the Coalinga Crude Oil
company, which will begin to rig up at
once. AS the property is without a
water supply of it's own the first drill
ling will be for water. Drilling for
oil, however, will not be delayed until
the water we'll is completed, as the
company has arranged for a supply
from a nearby property.
The Consolidated Oil company at
Coalinga has met with another delay
on account of the cement work at the
bottom. The management is taking
every precaution with this well that
no water be in the hole when the oil
sand is reached, and before drilling is
again started the hole will, it is said,
be absolutely dry.
The New york Coallnga company is
removing casing from wells 8, 4, and
G, above where the water is shut off,
and will use this pipe for casing wells
and s. drilling upon which will begin
within a short time, BY using the cas-
ing a second time the company will
save several thousand dollars in
operating expenses.

ALADDIN WELL
BREAKS LOOSE
FIVE HUNDRED BARRELS is
DAILY ESTIMATE
ALTERATIONS ADMIT OIL FROM
UPPER SAND
Scheme to Tap Stratum of Silver Tip
Well Terminates In Success.
Aladdin May Become
Big Producer

The Coalinga Aladdin well kicked
loose with a flow of about 500 barrels
a day few days ago and while some
difficulty has been experienced with
the pump latest reports from the field
are that the well is q big one. 1t Is
impossible to gauge the flow, but a
conservative estimate places it at be-
tween 400 and 500 barrels, which is a
splendid production and gives vent TO
the expression that it will be one of
the banner wells in that section.
The well was completed, originally
prior to the bringing in of the Silver
Tip, and all the upper SAND from
which the Silver Tip produced was
cased off. When the Silver Tip was
brought in and the managers of the
Aladdin realized from its action what
could be expected from this upper
sand. with their usual aggressiVeness
they went to work Immediately to
alter the we'll, to get production from
this upper sand. The Silver ZIP pc
ing an immediate next door nelghpor
1t looked as if the Coalinga Aladdin
should surely be able to get splendld
production from the upper light oil
sand.
The alteration work, due to many
difficulties took longer than antlclpat-
ed, but this work was completed the
early part of last week, and the we'll
tubed, and they have been pumping
off the head of water which they mad
used for redrilling purposes until sat
urday.
Now the we'll has broken loose and
is a splendid producer, and will add
one more to the list of fine producing
wells in wonderful Coalinga field.
The Coalinga Hub Oil company IS
down 1870 feet in its SA-inch casing
1t was reported they were in oil but
the manager says they are IN nhe
white sand.
The Coalinga Homestake Oil COM
pany is down 400 feet with fine
hole. No. is doing better than the
average well on the west side.
C. A. Sarber & Company viii erect
its first rig on the southeast corner
of 26-19-14. The lumber is being
hauled for its derrick and houses.
The Coalinga National Petroleum
company is down 21O0 feet in 10-inch
casing and is making fine time.
The Kaweah Oil and Development
company has it's siX-inch casing ouI
of the hole and expects to begin OPP
erations again within the next rev 1N
days. This company holds the south-
west quarter of the northeasF quarter
and the northwest quarter or the
southwest quarter Of 3O-2l-l6.
The Coalinga Income Oil company
is rigging up for its well NO. l. inc
first load of castings and tools has
gone out and the well will spud IN

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY EXTENDS

Little Fellows and Lease Operators

Camp-Dacite Attracts
Attention

GOLDFIELD, Feb. 2.-Steady work
is going on among the leasers in the
camp, and this steady work is likely
to devolope one or more new producers
at any time. On the Red Top, Colum-
bia Mountain and Nighthawk prop
critics at the northern end of the camp,
steady work is being done.
In the middle of the district the At
lanta estate is being worked by half
a dozen sets of leasers; work is being
done on the Silver Fork; the PolVerde
is developing ore through the Goldield
Annex lease, and a party of Milwaukee
capitalists will actively develop two
large blocks on the Union Jack claim
of the Atlanta.
To the south, the Gold Bar is making
good in the hands of leasers; the Col
conda and Wonder claims of the Con-
solidated are being developed, and I. q.
Lockhart has the Red Hills property
and some development of the right sort
will be done there.
To the southeast, in the extensive

dated estate. Over in Diamondfield

ground, while leasers on the Black
Butte are Into the money"
In the Dacite Belt
To the southeast, in the extensive
dacite belt, many men are quietly at
work developing various properties
They are selling no stock and making
no noise" about their operations, but
every night a string OF them come in
from work, and there is n big crowd
of men leaving town for the southeast
every morning as the sun comes up.
They are working in that belt charac-
terized by the government geological
survey as being identical in character
with the proven zone of the heart OF
the Goldfield district, and 1t Is more
than likely that some Of this work
among those silicious outcrops Will re-
suit in excellent finds of ore.
The news of a rich, genuine strike in
this section of the country is likely to
come any day, any hour Within the
heart Of the camp, leasers are doing the
kind of work that originally made
Goldfeld and when the leasers and
little fellows" poke into the ore out
to the southeast, there will be another
stampede to the greatest gold camp in
the world, and q frenzy of speculation
in mining lands and stocks that will
largely be a return to "old times"
