CANADIAN PAPER
WARNS INVESTORS
BEWARE OF OIL
TIMELY WARNING TO LOOK OUT
FOR WILDCATS FROM
NORTHWEST.

The following editorial from the
Port Arthur. Ont, News. commenting
on the new oil discoveries in Alberta
province, may prove as timely to
Americans as Canadians
Financial journals that have inves-
tigated the oil-producing opportunl-
ties in Alberta are outspoken in their
warnings to the public against in
vesting real money in ventures that
have yet to be proved worth while.
Particularly is il urged on behalf of
the little felolw, the man on salary,
to keep out of oil speculations whose
promoters offer to sell stock at a
few cents per share.
In the case of Alberta it is claimed
by some writer's that even If the bub-
BILE turned out to be substantially
productive of oil, not one-quarter of
the companies with stock for sale
could expect to yield their stockhold
ers cents worth of profit in return
for the risks they have taken.

several dozen others of the fair sex
that to venture out in one of the

She came across O'Farrell street
with short. mincing steps, until she
reached the car tracks. Then she
tripped. With convulsive move

slipped
She wore a black silk skirt, slit up
the front Her foot caught it; there
was rip, and as the cloth split in

There she stood. From the waist
up she was modesty personified. But

Cries of Quick! a coat. Bring me

to strip off their coats and fling them
to the modern September Morn. She
wrapped them about her and assumed
the. well-known attitude of the paint

the street to a clothing store and
came back with long overcoat, with
which he covered her from head tc

LONE STAR STATE
BREAKS RECORD
IN COAL MINING
Ignite AND RiTuMINous SHOW
A GREAT INCREASE IN
TONNAGE.

The state of Texas mined 2.429,14+
short tons of coal in 1913, valued at
$4.2SS.92O, according to E. w. Par
ker. of the United States geological
survey. This production was nearly
evenly divided between Ignite and
bituminous coal, with the balance
slightly in favor of the latter. Both
classes of coal showed increases in
production In 1913, and both made
their record output. The total pro-
duction in 1918 exceeded that of 1912
by 240,532 short tons, or IL per cent.
in quantity. and by $633,176, or II
per cent, in value. Most of the in
crease in tonnage was derived from
the Ignite mines. whose output
showed gain of 19O,451 tons; the
production of bituminous coal IN
creased 50,08l tons. In point Of
value. however. the advantage was as
much in favor of bituminous coal as
the gain in quantity was in favor of
Ignite. The value of Ignite increased
by $123.97l, while the value of the
bituminous product increased by
$4O9, POS
The coal beds of Texas belong to
three of the geologic systems 1.-The
Carboniferous. Cretaceous, and the
Tertiary. The Carboniferous Goals
are found in the northern part of the
state, the principal mining operations
being in Eastland, Palo Pinto, Erath,
Wise and Young counties. The Gre
taceous Goals occur in the southern
part of the state and are mined
chiefly near Eagle Pass, in Maverick
county The Goals of this district,
which extends into New Mexico and
are mined extensively at FL Fenix,
near Sabinas. and at Esperanzas, are
classed as bituminous Goals and in
the southern portions Of New Mexico
make fair-grade coke. The Ignite
! beds are of enormous extent and oc
cur in a wide belt which stretches
from the Sabine on the northeast tc
the Rio Grande on the southwest
Like the Cretaceous Goals. these seen

INCREASE IN OUTPUT
OF ABRASIVE GARNET

The production OF abrasive garnet
in the United States in 1918 amount
ed to 5,30S short tons, valued at
s1SS,422, according to the United
States geological survey. This was
the largest in the history of the in
dustry and an increase OF 361 tons
in quantity and of $2O,1S5 in value,
compared with the production for
1912. The industry was confined to
three states-New Hampshire, New

BLOOOLESS WAR WAGED WITH MANY
SHOTGUNS OVER INTEREST IN MINE

NEVADA CITY, July 9-The finan-
cial difficulties of the Grizzly Ridge
Mining company, which is operating
the Oustomah mine. near this city,
under bond given by the Oustoman
Gold Mining company. will be re-
viewed in the justice and the SUI
perior courts of this county.
temporary writ was issued in the
superior court prohibiting Justus l..
A. Garthe from proceeding with the
trial of Brewer, Jauch and Mrs, sta
ley in his court The final hearing
on the writ was set for Saturday,
July 18th.
In the service here of a writ of at
tachment from the justice court, Cor
stable c. O. Jepson, who was serving
the paper, found it necessary 10 use
a gun, although no shots were fired.
The attachment was levied at the
instance of Otto Taylor and Charley
Kent, who alleged the sum of $13G
was due TO them on account of a
contract for running forty-two feet
of drift in the mine. The writ was
placed in the hands of Constable Jep-
sen, who, in company with Deputy
Sheriff Martin, of this city, went to
the mine to serve it.
Walter Jaueh, who was at the mine
at the time engaged in cleaning up
the plates of the mill, attempted to
surreptitiously leave the mill Con
stable Jepsen caught him in the act
and at the point of pistol, com
handed him to stop. Pauch quickly
halted when he was told that he
would be shot II he did not do so.
w. j. Miller and Frank Kelley
brought an action for a delivery
claim for the proceeds of sixty tons
of rock crushed by them for the com
pany under tribuet contract They
alleged that the company was clean
ing up the mill without their knowl-
edge The complaints were filed at 4
o'clock next morning and service of
the papers made Immediately
Otto Brewer, Walter Jauch and
Mrs. Harry Staley. wife of the super
lntendent of the mine, are under ar
rest for contempt of court in attempt
ing to do away with property under
attachment
IT. is alleged that Brewer took a
quantity of amalgam which was in
the possession of the constable, and
ran with it TO the superintendent
house, with Constable Jepsen in close
pursuit, Brewer threw the amalgam
to Mrs. Staley, who hid it before the
constable could get in.
The troubles of the company in the
superior court have to do with the
issuance of a restraining order pro
hibiting the Grizzly Ridge Mining
company from removing machinery
from the property. The Oustomah
company. through its officers. learn.
ing that the machinery was about to
be taken away from the mine, sent
two men with shotguns to prevent
anybody from taking II away until
a restraining order could be duly
isued by the court.
Staley. the superintendent, took a
shotgun away from one of the guard:
and broke the stock of it and ham
mered the barrel out of shape on al
anvil.
The restraining order was isue
by the superior court on July 4th
and the making of it has just beer
made public. II will be made re
turnable in the superior court OF
Monday next.

Of footwork could not keep him out Of

Carpenter was a mile ahead or

doggedly and carried the punch. When

his opponents court. Williams did u
time after time, but Murrays racquet
was always there 20 meet II. and when
the ball came overhead the Coast boys
execution was beautiful 20 look at.
The great crowd was liberal in APP
plause. and greeted each flashing rally
between these two Of the East and the
West And well might this be so, Tor
the equal Of the lawn tennis played has
rarely been excclled.
Murray plainly decided that the only
way 10 cope with his opponent was 10
gain the net at any cost and cut on
those spearike drives TO the side and
base lines
Few PLAYERS could have succeeded IN
this. for Williams has faculty for
shooting the ball through the narrowest
OF openings. but Murray, at the cost OF
an enormous call upon his strength, did
II. and in doing II lost the match by his
own eXertiCns.
The second set was over. and Murray
wor Il at b g. The crowd was m
fever OF excitement as the men changed
courts and sought temporary relief by
dCusing their heads from the water
pitcher.
Again Williams began the service
and took the opening game. and so they
went. each man winning on his service
until the sixth game. when the Cali
fornian broke through. Murray then
continued at superlative speed. and ian
three games in row, thus leading at

But an ominous change came over
his game at this period. That ripping,
bounding service that had won a dozen
aces for Murray suddenly lost its
power and speed. and Williams cap
tured the next two games, making the

Williams. as true a sportsman as the

Half a dozen men. including Wrenn,

Thus ended one OF the most senss-
