EDMUND FULLER is
PLACED UNDER ARREST
Charged With Knowingly and De-
signedly Securing Labor and
Services Under False Pretenses
Now in Jail.

Sheriff R. A. Bass went to Dem
yer Thursday morning to serve
warrant on Edmund Fuller, of the
Fuller-MacCulloch Co. The man
was arrested and brought back to
Central in car during the night
and was placed in the county Jail,
awaiting a hearing before the
justice of the peace.
Fuller was arrested on a war
rant sworn out before Justice of
the Peace j. R. Rule Wednesday
night by thirty-two men who were
employed in the Fuller-M MacCul-
loch operations, charging him
with knowingly and designedly
obtaining labor and services un-
der false pretenses. The same
warrant is out for Thomas Mac
Culloch, who is supposed to be in
San Francisco.
The Fuller-MacCulloch Co.
came into the county III May and
took over the Becky Sharp, Old
Town and other mines in the Rus
sell Gulch section. They worked
a number of men the latter part
of May and paid them on the 10th
of the following month. From the
first of June until the 10th of July
they had a good-sized force, up
wards of 35 men, working in the
three or four properties they were
operating. Pay day was July 10th
but the "ghost failed to walk"
nor has it walked since Promis-
es to pay on this day and that day
have been made from week to
week, until the men finally con-
cluded it was about time to take
action. Some of the men have
from 40 to SO shifts coming-a
number going back to work for a
few days after operations ceased
to hold the lease for Fuller-Mac-
Culloch. These were promised
handsome bonus, which so far has
not materialized.
Thomas Mac Culloch has been
in San Francisco since the mid
die of July, according to reports,
attempting to raise the money and
from letters received by the local
representative of the company, is
hopeful of financing the PROPOSE
tion and resuming work.
The course taken by the miners
who have been left holding the
bag is commendable in view of
the fact that Gilpin county in the
past has suffered on numerous oc-
casions thru companies starting
operations without the necessary
funds to pay their men and sup
ply bills, and it is about time an
example was made of some of
them. These companies generally
represent to the miners and bust
ness houses that they have the
money with which to meet their
debts, but some of them haven't
money enough to buy B. V. D.
for humming bird. The law is
very strict in regard to the secur-
ing of labor and supplies fraud
ulently, and the penalty provides
penitentiary sentence not to ex-
ceed ten years.
Fuller will be arraigned Friday
afternoon or evening and the pre-
liminary hearing will then be set.

Texas Oil Field News

FORT WORTH, Tex, July 12.-The Texas Crude oil company's field re- port just issued from the operating office here indicates one of the wid- est ranges of activity embraced by any company operating in Texas, and serves as an excellent example to show the enormous extent of the oil development work now in progress throughout the Lone Star state.
 No. l well in Block SO. Burkbur- nett, has the casing set and is drilling in. A big producer is expected here to prove a. new southerly extension of this field No. 2 in 63 is drilling at $50 feet. In Block "A, probably the most sensational area of the Burk- burnett field, Texas Crude's No. 1 well is drilling at 1870 feet and the rig is building for the No. 2 well. Two additional wells are scheduled for this block in the immediate future. Sev- en to ten wells are planned for the BuTkburnett field this year

Two other issue made new high prices for the year, Waldorf at 1912, and Ven tura at IFS. Continued firmness in the former is based on the satisfac- tory earnings which the company is enjoying. American Telephone fol- lowing it's decline to 104, off &, ral- lied to 1047s.

 Southwestern Miami part paid stock has held firm of late. The S1 assess ment is payable the latter part of this week The management expects to start drilling most any day now. The Cosden well. which is sinking a few miles from the Southwestern Miami acreage, is expected to reach the deep sands within a week or two.

615.62 an increase of $1, 24,133.62 over last years valuation. Operative min ing property, including mills, smelters and equipment used in mining, is val ued this year at $57,563 ,276.S6, an in- crease of almost six million dollars over last year.
 The state tax commission is charg- ed by law with the work of assessing the producing mines of the state. Numerous other properties classed as nonproducers by the commission, are not included in the above figures, as they are assessed by the county as- sessors.
 Some important increases in the assessments of producing mines in- clude a raise of almost two million dollars in the valuation of the New Cornela Copper company, and an in- crease of over $3,000,000 in the as- sessed valuation of the Ray Consoli- dated Copper company. The valua- tion of the Copper Queen Branch of the Phelps Dodge corporation was in- creased about $5,000,O0O by the tax commission, while the property of the United Verde Copper company, Sena- tor Clark's mine in Yavapai county, was raised almost a million dollars.
