ON THE RAMPAGE

SAN FRANCISCO, oct. 1S.-Here is
a story that is given for what it may
be worth. If true, it is worth a great
deal and it may behoove all to take
notice and be on the safe side before
anything can happen The California
Oil Worlds informant asserts that
he has had the advice from high
sources. In view of what has already
happened, it is quite probable that it
is true.
The story is this: That before Jan
.uary I, 1912, President Taft will have
withdrawn from public entry several
thousand, perhaps tens of thousands
more acres of oil lands and possible
oil lands, in fact, that it is the gov
ernment's intention to stop locations
on every foot of its fands on which
there is even the faintest suspicion
that oil may exist
This takes in all such prospective
fields as Kramer, San Emidio, around
Calabasses i'm Los Angeles county
and along the Los Angeles-Ventura
line, and in Napa, Humboldt, Glenn
Shasta. Mono and other northern
counties and in all neighboring
states, wherever there is any chance
whatever Of oil being found.
The present fields and their vicin-
lily will be raked with a fine tooth
comb to locate little pieces that have
been overlooked so far. Persons who
have located already and have act
ually commenced work will presum-
ably be fully protected, but it is like
ly that the government will be in a
very critical mood and will scrutin-
ize with the utmost care and atten-
ton to detail every claim and every
job of assessment work Unless the
work is clearly done in good faith,
and is up to the standard there will
be risk.
According to reports that are com
ing in, agents Of the land Office have
been visiting all prospective fields,
wherever there is even a rumor of
oil A man who has recently been
through several prospective regions Of
this kind reports positively having
met agents of the land office there
who We're known to him personally
