CHARGE CHINESE JUGGLED
RECORDS TO AID FRAUDS
Prosecute Oriental for Part in
immigration Scandal

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-The pre-
liminary hearing Of Jew 10y Sing,
charged with alteration of government
records, was begun today before
United States Commissioner Wright.
Jew is accused of having substituted
photographs in the habeas corpus rec
ords of Chinese deportation cases in
the United States district court here.
According to the allegation of Fed
eral immigration Inspector Taylor,
Jew and other Chinese procured the
fraudulent entry of hundreds of Chi
nese into this country by the use OF
substituted photograph papers.
The first witness examined today was
William Nichols, former deputy clerk
of the United States district court. He
testified that he had caught Jew in
the act of substituting photograph
in the records of the clerks Office, and,
when he protested, that the Chinese
paid him $50 to remain silent. Nich-
OILS said that he concealed his knowl-
edge of the AFFAIR until the investiga-
ton was made by Inspector Taylor
early last month, when he told the
whole story OF his connivance in the
substitution.

TAFT, Sept. 3.-The Midway Five
Oil company, on section 8, 31-23, ope-
rating on lease from the Hale-McLeod
company, has driven a 10-inch casing
into the blue shale at depth of 1880
feet
The company will shut off the water
with this string and go into the sand

The drilling at present is very encour-

of 10-lnch casing was set in the hole
last week and moved freely all the

STRIKE An MAepALENA

in this city by stockholders and officers
of the La Corona Mining company are
10 the effect that a rich strike of gold
and silver had been made in the COM
pany's property at Magdalena, Mexico.
According to reports a two-foot body
of very high ore that will run into hum
dreds was struck, while farther on a
strike was made that nets about $40.
Another ledge is being cut con-
siderable depth and it is expected that
shipping stock will be found.
All of the stockholders reside in Bis

strike will mean much for this city
The company has been operating abou'

II EFORE a crowd Of Los Angeles
n and San Francisco business men
~ and a number of oil operators
the Consolidated Midway OIL company
turned loose it's controlled gusher last
Sunday afternoon. Preceded by a
rush of gas that was deafening ten
inch column OF petroleum shot up
against the crown block of the der
rick and spattered more than $50 feet
in the air above 1t. The crowd yelled
with delight. The visitors were from
Missouri, but they were shown. In the
hour and a half that the gate valve
was kept open the flow was at the rate
of $500 barrels an hour, or 10000 barrels
q day. The consensus of opinion OF
all oil men is that this is the largest
gusher in the history of American oil,
not even excepting the Lakeview nor
the one time Beaumont gusher of Tex
as. The other remarkable thing about
1t Is that it is under perfect control.
Managing Director Wiltsee is thought
by many oil men to be a wizard. He
says himself that there was nothing
marvellous in his getting control of the
we'll. He had O hunch that 1t was
going to be a gusher and put two GOO
pound gate valves on the pipe before
the drill penetrated the oil sand, and
that's all there is to it. The fact re-
mains, however, that this is the only
big gusher in California or elsewhere
that was ever controlled.
And when one sees the tremendous

BIC INTERESTS IGNORE
LAND OFFICE RULING
Associated and Others Acquire
oil Acreage in Buena Vista
Hills Territory

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.--Appar-
emily uneoncerned over the evident
hostility of the land office, several
large operators continue to acquire
big tracts of government land in the
Buena Vista hills and Elk Ridge coun-
try, parallellng the Midway field, add
ing thousands in development to the
millions paid for locators rights. The
Associated oil company, in artlcular,
has been active and aggressive along
these lines and has acquired by pur-
chase several hundred acres OF unde-
veloped land, which it has undertaken
to drill, in the face of the Munzer de-
cIsion that, IL sustained, would forfeit
these lands to the government and
entail heavy losses to the company.
The natural inference is that no COM
pany, acting through its directors, men
chosen because of ability and knowl-
edge along certain lines would under
take such investment unless assured
that the rights of the locator would
be protected. Secretary Ballinger of
the interior department is said to have
given 1t, and President Taft is said to
have WRITTEN letters to at least one
man prominent in the oil industry, as
surlng him that the government has no
intention of depriving any one OF land
which was in the course of develop
ment at the time Of the passage Of the
Pickett bill.
Men other than those connected with
the Associated Oil company are known
to have taken up the matter with off,
cials of the government, and are be-
lieved to have received the same as
surances.
]. c. Yancey, who with Theodore
Barnsdall and San Francisco interests
owns locations on thousands of acres
of government petroleum lands, when
asked recently concerning the situation
Immediately after his return from a
protracted business trip east, replied:
1--WE are not worrying about that. No
man ever lost anything by confiscation
by this government nor ever will"
1t is, not believed that the admin
istration will make fish of one and
fowl OF another--that any scheme will
be countenanced that would give to
the big fellow and withhold from the
little one--but that all will be treated
alike probably with this difference,
that the burden of proving the status
of claims will fall more heavily on the
grouup of individuals than upon corpo-
ration of large capital.3
There is one vital point, however,
on which the land Office has ruled ad-
versely, namely, the recognition of the
right of locators to transfer claims
prior to discovery, or, to put it the
other way about, the validity of claims
of that sort No discovery of petro-
leum has been made on the lands in
the Buena Vista hills and Elk ridge,
referred to. and as outright sale and
purchase have been made, the corpora
tion seeking United States patent must
do so as the assignee of the original
locator. The situation is interesting,
and developments are being watched
keenly by 1ocators and operators alike.

GREAT ACTIVITY PREVAILS
IN VALLECITOS OIL FIELDS

HoLLISTER, Cal, Sept. 3.-Sheriff
Croxon, who returned last evening
from trip to Idria. reports great
activity in the Vallecitos oil fields.
According to Mr. Croxon, the Range
1s Oil company has shipped to Men
dota four carloads of lumber to be
used in building their rigs for opera
tion in that field, half of which has
already been hauled to the scene OF
operations.
The new town of Syncline is having
a miniature boom. The hotel and store
buildings are rapidly being completed,
and Mr. Croxon says it will not be
long before they are open for business.
He also said there were quite q num-
ber of men at work on the big furnace
at the Aurora mine. which the owners
hoped to have running soon. This is
the quicksilver property Mr.. Phelan
recently purchased from A Leonard
and is distant from the New 1dria
mines only about one mile.

STREET OF
NEWARK AMONG MISSING
Records Show Thoroughfare'S
Existence Reality Doubtful

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 3-This city
on the poor and aims of
the council has been appointed to
look for it. What makes the loss the
more peculiar is that it was only few
years ago that the street was laid
out, guarded and covered with heavy
coating of macadam, according to the
of the council. Now both the
street and the macadam have disap-
peared. If the subcommittee should
fail in it's quest the council may ask
the courts to solve the mystery.
The street was laid out in a sub
urban section several years ago. When
someone tried to locate it a few days
ago it was found the city apparently
has nothing to show for it except the
contracts and receipts for its con-
struction.
