Tuesday, august II, 1917

The price of Pennsylvania crude
petroleum, the barometer of the oil
market, has been advanced to 1925 a
barrel. That is the highest quota
ton since 1877, and it represents an
increase of 81, or nearly 80 per
cent, from the low price of 1915.
This extraordinary rise is due in
some measure to higher costs of pro-
duction, since the prices for oil we'll
supplies and pipe are now about 300
per cent above the pre-war level. To
an even greater extent, however, the
rise is to be attributed to the fact
that the demand for petroleum and
its products has been so enormous
and so pressing that producers have
been able to advance prices almost at
will. Unfortunately, there is nothing
in sight to indicate that the price will
not go still higher, barring govern
ment interference. The statistical
position, so far as it bears on prices,
is remarkably strong. Production is
increasing only slightly, while con-
sumption goes on expanding rapidly,
not only because of the increase in
the number of automobiles, but be-
cause the demand for war purposes
is almost overwhelming, and new
uses are being constantly discovered.
For months production has not suf-
feed to meet the demands, so that
it has been necessary to draw upon
accumulated stocks in order to make
deliveries. The July report, just
issued, makes a rather more favor
able showing than did the reports of
earlier months this year, but it
nevertheless indicates a depletion Of
1854 barrels in accumulated stocks.
One of the foremost oil experts of
the country says that the balance
between production and consumption
is, to say the least, so close as to be
dangerous, with prospects that
stocks will be gradually drained
down to the vanishing point.

Money and Credit

The local money market was inactive
Yesterday. At the Stock Exchange call
loans ruled at 3h per cent, closing at
8, after some business had been done
on 2X per cent basis.
Offerings of time funds continued
light and rates were firmly maintained.
The fourth payment on the Liberty
Loan subscriptions is due this week,
but it is not expected to be much Of n
factor in the money market, owing TO
the fact that the instalment due has
been anticipated in large part.
Ruling rates for money yesterday,
compared with a year ago, were as fol-
lows:

PLANT
DISPLAYS FLAG
ONLY ONE DAY
From Tuesdays Daily Minerl

Sunday, for the first time since the
propaganda for display of the Ameri-
can flag, Old Glory floated proudly
over the plant of the Desert Power &
Water company in Kingman. 1t was
only after the management of that
plant became convinced that there
might be a chance for possible action
by the State Corporation Commission
that a flag was sent into the breeze.
But yesterday no flag appeared, and
while it may be possible that the own
ers feared for the safety of that
glorious old emblem, on account Of bad
weather, we fear that other reasons
were at the bottom of its non-appear-
ance.
Who is there in all this broad land
that cannot exult when Old Glory is
flung to the breeze? Not one with
spark of patriotism in his makeup;
not one who has tasted of the elixir of
freedom under our American institu-
tions; and especially can it be one who
has used his last dollar to get away
from the hng-ridden country of
Europe.
Was the letter written by Mr.. Wilde
to the loyalty meeting of Sunday
night true, in that he had been too
busy to fly his flag, or was it true
that he believed what he had public
ly stated, "That you Americans would
be better off under Emperor Wilhelm
than under this man Wilson? Which
was the sentiment uppermost in his
mind, think you, dear reader, when
taken with his lax hosting of the
American flag. We are always will
ing to give any man the benefit of the
doubt, but can anyone doubt the at
titude taken by the head of this public
utility corporation?

RICH ORE IS FOUND
ON BROWN PROPERTY
At NEEDLES PEAKS
[From Tuesdays Daily Minerl

F. F. Drawn came in Monday from
the property in Needles mountains in
which he is interested with his broth
er and Bert Otis. He reports that a
drift has been driven on the vein go
feet and that a raise is now being
made to get into the rich ore exposed
on a high peak.
The vein has been traced through
the country to the Needles peaks and
cuts one of those prominent land
marks through and through. 1t was
in an almost inaccessible part of the
peak that the richest ore was discov-
cred and Mr.. Drawn has to be haul
ed up with a rope 60 feet to a point
where he could take a sample. This
sample gave results in copper and
$312 gold. 1t would be impossible
to mine the ore through the outcrop,
so a tunnel was driven into the vein
at a lower point and asraise is to be
carried through the ore.
The Needles peaks are the best
known landmarks on the Colorado
river and are visible from Topok. The
elements have bored hole through
them near the points from east to
west, and it is only when opposite
these holes on the east or west side
that they are noticeable. Below them
lie the volcanic cliffs surrounding
Chemehuevis valley on the north,
while to the east is a well mineralized
section of the detached part of the
| Chemehuevis range.

JAPANESE WRITER'S
PRAISE PRESIDENT

TOXIC, April 10 President Wi
son is hailed as a courageous, upright
statesman, and man of great reserve
force by five noted Japanese writers
who select him for a symposium OF
views in a well-nown Japanese re-
view. Among the contributors are
DR.. Inazo Nitobe and Professor NJ
Anezald, former exchange professor at
Harvard University.
Prof. Anezai wrote: 'Mr. Wilson
is a statesman of no policy; he is 2
man of ideals and high principles. AT
times he may narrow because of his
immutable principles; and his ideals
may seem vague for the reason of
their being too high. But as a man
who respects his own ideals and
principles in the teeth of all opposi-
Stion, he has ever been the same either
as president of a university, governor
of state or as President of the Unit
ed States.
"As president, Mr.. Wilson has
shown himself to be a man who has
the courage to express his opinion and
the courage to put that opinion into
practice. There is no catch-penny
cheapness about his manner. He never
speaks to the gallery. He takes elab-
crate preparations ere he arrives at any
decision, and once having formed it he
never changes it.
'Mr. Wilson is pacifst to be sure
but he is Mt an unconditional pacifst
As President he respects the opinion
of the American people"

Safe Medicine for Children

as it safe?" is the first question to
be considered when buying cough med
icine for children. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has long been favor
lite with mothers of young children as
it contains no opium or other narcotic,
and may be given to a child as conf
dentlylas to an adult. It is pleasant
to take, too, which is of great impor-
lance when a medicine must be given
to young children. This remedy is
most effectual in relieving coughs,
colds and Group. Obtainable every
where. Adv.
