NEW POSSIBLE OIL FIELD.
Geology and Petroleum Prospects Of
South End OF San JOAQUIN.

oouth End OF San Joaquin.
preliminary report on the geology
and possible oil resources Of the south
end Of the san Joaquin Valley. Cal. by
Robert Anderson of the United states
Geological Survey. has lust been re-
published as Bulletin 471-A-5 an ad-

The vast stores Of petroleum dis
covered in the rocks along the foothills

west side OF the valley and in the foot

bility Of OH occurring in the continue
ton Of this foothill belt around the
south end OF the valley between these
two productive districts. Very little
attention has been given TO the geology
Of this intermediate region and no
tests OF its oil possibilities have been
made.

idea Of the geologic features and the
possible oil resources the geoIogIst

The main conclusion is that a con-
tnuous productive area joining the
present developed fields on the two
sides Of the valley Is by no means TO be
expected, but that two or more areas

worst FIRE N MANY MONTHS
Oak Street Residence Belonging 10 Alfred
Staff Destroyed Early Thursday Morning.
Department Does Good Work.

An early morning blaze on Oak
street called out the department
and many citizens at shortly after
three o'clock yesterday morning,
the fire~having such start before
the alarm was turned IN that it was
impossible to save the structure,
the attention of the department be-
ing required in the saving of ad-
joining property, the Storda hi home
to the east of the burning building
catching and sustaining several
hundreds of dollars loss.
The structure wac the property of
Alfred Staff and was occupied by
Henry Nykenen, while Mr.. Staff also
had an amount of household goods
stored in the second story. The
loss on the building IL estimated at
$llOO, with insurance of $500, while
the damage to contents is given as
about $500 with insurance of $500.
A stiff wind blowing at the time
threatened other buildings, but
efficient work on the part of Chief
Thayer and his men held the flames
to the two structures.

The petition for the vacation of
the plat of East Virginia was up in
district court in Duluth on Monday
and while the court filed an order
vacating the plated portion of the
plat it cannot order the vacation of
the alleys and city property includ-
ed in the plat, which must come be.
fore the city council for adjustment.
The mandamus proceedings in
the annexation matter, out of which
grew the petition for the vacation
of the plat of this portion of the
city. will come up for fiual hearing
on August 3rd. and on the decision
OF the court ut that time will de-
pend the probable annexation OF
the territory desired by citizens. If
the court shall at that time find the
petition to be sufficient an election
on the annexation will be ordered
but should the decision of the cour,
be that the petition az filed is in.
sufficient the opportunity of annex.
ing the territory described and EN-
bracing some 1880 acres of valuab BILE
mineral lands will be lost.
The annexation of this territory
would do much to reduce the pres.
ent and prospective tax levies in
the city, az it would practically
double the assessed valuation.

Died Of Heart Trouble.

The death on Monday of Mrs.
Robert Mack, Wyoming avenue
north, as direct result of heart
failure, brought out deplorable
condition Of affairs in the home
which appealed to the generosity
of our people with the result that
Dr.. J. H. Grove and Acting Mayor
Michael Boylan solicited subscrip-
tons in a goodly amount tor the
immediate needs of the little ones.
The deceased was IS years of age
and is survived by husband who
for several months past has been
at Flint, Mich, and who through
some reason has been unable to
contribute but little to the support
of his wife and four children, the
youngest Of whom is girl of but
seven weeks of age, while the cid.
est, boy of fourteen, was recently
forced TO leave position bringing
him few dollars weekly, owing to
illness which has confined him to
his home and who is now in the
More hospital at Eveleth.
The generosity of citizens in the
case is noted bv total collections of
upwards of $500, which will be dis
bursed through J. D. Lamont, and
kind friends have looked after the
bereaved little ones insofar as pos
sible. Funeral ceremonies for Mrs.
Mack were conducted from St.
Paul's Episcopal church on Thurs.
day morning, interment being made
in Greenwood. .

PATTERSON SHOWS MONDAY
An Outline Of this Great Aggregation That
Is Pleasing Thousands Of People, TO
Show Ia. Virginia All of Next Week.

When circus or large carnival
comes to a city and exhibits for a
day or week, little ia thought of
how or where the aggregation of
animals and equipment il taken
care of during the winter season.
Take, for example. the Great Patter.
son shows that will exhibit here
next week. Their present itinerary
takes them north into Canada, then
south again for the state fairs dur.
ing the fall, the shows closing
about the first of December some
where down on the Gulf coast. The
closing means that the big family
is broken up until the next spring,
the performers, musicians, ballyhoo
people and laboring meu are paid
off and seek new situations. Only
a few property men and the animal
trainers are carried into the winter
quarters, which, in the case of the
Patterson shows, are located at
Paola, Kansas.
Mr.. Patterson owns zoo acres of
land adjoining the town of Paola.
This tract is as fine farm land az
Gao be found in the Sunflower state.
About twenty. five acres are covered
with the winter quarters buildings.
For the tropical animals there are
brick barns heated by natural gas
from we'll on the place, long sheds
to house the wagons and cars, for
the circus train must be under COW
er where it can be repaired and re.
painted.
! Upon the arrival of the show train
in winter quarters everything ia
safely slowed away Their animals
are distributed to their respective
quarters and only men enough to
care for them are retained.
Then it ia that the work at winter
quarters begins in earnest. The
office force gets busy with contracts
for the Coming season. Over at the
ring barn the trained animals are
being put through their various
stunts twice day and the raw re.
cruits-the new animals-are under
the trainers whips for many hours
each day until the show is ready to
open again in the spring.
