SANTA BARBARA, CaL., June 30.—The reports of great yields from the Summer- land oil wells have been exaggerated. A gentleman, whose interests are in the Summerland district and who himself has greatest faith in its future, states that there is not a well there that would yield forty barrels a day { probably not one that would yield twent; ,if subjected to a thorough , while the majority will probably yield from three to ten. At the same time he acquits any one of having deliberately made a misleading statement, the fact being that when the wells were first sunk there were no facilities for test- ingproperly and the enthusiasm of owners and investors carried them away in their estimates. The district is in a promising and pros- perous condition. Improved pumping ap- paratus is being fast put in and twenty to thirty wells daily are emptied by means of cables leading from a single engine at the nominal cost of $1 a day to each. One dollar a barrel is realized for the oil, which finds sure and ready sale, and this means that a three-barrel well, dug at light ex- pense, nets its owner $2 a day without any Best of all, the flow is everywhare holding ont admirably, | G o : facturing purposes, being employed in the dinari v e rs et 5 £ g 1 w s or y vex the marinel 3 tory, the Arlington laundry and | fic Ya Club, a the macaroni factory in Santa Barbara, in | e Rove sent her along ata | the Summerland soap factory Captain Bruce on lito was accom- | 3en Markl ht White party, will | A.

RUN OVER BY FREIGHTCARS. John Leddy Meets With a Fatal Accl- dent—Turners Back From Los Angeles. SAN JOSE, Car., June 30.—The Grand Jury was in session yesterday investigat- ing the discrepancies that exist in the books of ex-County Clerk 8. W. Boring. After the filing of the reports of Experts Mullin and Foote about a month ago, and their report of a shortage of $2000, time was allowed Boring to have the books ex- perted. Boring employed Ed Halsey and on Thursday he rendered his report to the Grand Jury, which showed that there was $121 due Boring from the county. Halsey also claimed to have found a deficiency in the books during County Clerk Erkson's time. The three experts were before the jury yesterday explaining their reports, and both sides were equally contident that their reports were right. The jury called in C. G. 8mith, an expert who is in no way interested in the matter, and he took exception to a large portion of Halsey's re- port on the ground that he had given double credit. Smith said that in every instance where a doubt existed Boring had been given the benefit in Halsey’s report. As the time was too limited to allow Smith to examine the details of the report, the jury ad- journed until next Friday to allow him to complete his investigations. THROWN UNDE THE WHEELS.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 80.—Colonel Philo Hersey, president of the Santa Clara County Fruit Exchange, in an interview yesterday on the outlook for the fruit erop sald: & “There-are quite a number of buyers in the valley looking for green fruit, mostly peaches, apricots and pears. The cherries are about all gone. Bnyera. are paying from $30 to $35 per ton for apricats for can- ning purposes, prices varying with size and quality. . I'hsve heard that $25and $30 per ton has been paid for a good quality of Bartlett pears. The pear crop in the val- ley is light, and i some-localities thére is some complaint of smut ormold on the fruit. . wThere has been some demand for peaches, but as yet no price has been fixed upon them. I understand that buyers have offered §20 per ton for them, but no important sales have yet been made in this valley. The crop of peaches wm be excellent, but not very heavy. There has Dbeen a serious dropping of peaches during the past month, especially the clingstones and lemon clings. e “For green prunes from $25 to $30 been offered, bt only two sales at “outlook and the shortage of the crop prices ought to be fair and the market reasonably active, Bight cents per pound is being offered for the new crop of dried apricots, but the’prices offered for those for canning purposes do not warrant a sale for 8 cents, as canners are offering from $30'to §35 per ton. “It is now generally conceded that the dried fruit crop will be about a fourth of what it was last year, or about 300 zar- loads.” SCHO®L OF METHODS.

A Guerneville Grower’s Extensive Plant, Where an Immense Crop is Handled. SANTA ROSA, CAL., June 30.—Near Guerneville and on the Forestville road, is the largest olive orchard in Sonoma County, and probably one of the largest in the State. It is owned by Dr. Prosek. There is 100 acres of orchard with 8500 trees, z2ll in bearing. ‘The crop last year was ten tons, and this year will be about thirty tons. ° Dr. Prosek built the first olive mill in Sonoma County in 1894, The building is forty teet wide and sixty feet long, with an engine house 14x20. An eight-horse power engine generates the pressure. Immediately on picking, the olives are put into a novel crusher, the first of the kind in the State. In the crusher are two granite wheels which weigh 1500 pounds each, and revolve on a flat granite slab. The wheels are reversible, and can be raised or lowered according to the size of the olive. Latest improved scrapers, which keep the paste under the wheels, havejsup- planted much work in that operation, an arrangement has been made whereby it empties itself by two or three revolutions of the wheel. The crusher has a capacity of two or three tons daily, both first and second grinding. 7 A hydraulic press receives the paste and the juice that comes out goes into a separ- ator, which separates the oil from the water of the vegetation. When settled and clear the oil is filtered and battled and is then ready for market. Last year was a disastrous one for olives and yet the output of oil was 250 gallons. Dr. Prosek has in_his groye thirty-five different varieties of olives and will bud from those that do best in the locality. The earliest and best bearers are the Nevadello Blanco, Rubea and Manzanillo, white the Polymorpha produces the largest olive and the best for packing. Successful olive-packers always keep their methods a secret and after experimenting for four vears Dr. Prosek has discnvemfthe secret and this year he will pack large quantities of his olives. The time is coming when the production of olive oil will be a chief factor in the progress of Sonoma County. o by e . Sudden Death at Redwood City. REDWOOD CITY, Cax., June 30.—The wife of N.P.

The lecture given by Rev. James D. Eaton at the First Congregational Church Jast night on “Mexico and the Mexicans' was listened to by a most appreciative audience. Mr. Eaton is,a missionary attached to the board of the Congregational church of the United States and has been living in Chihuahua, Mex., for some years. His opening remark was, ‘Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” He called attention to the fact that while Mexico is connected by rail with this country, and is only five days’ distance from New York, it 1s so far behind the modern era as to show traits equiva- lent to paganism.

At St. Luke's Church, on Van Ness avenue, Rev. T.J. Lacey preached an in- teresting and instructive sermon on *‘Christianity and the Social Question” last evening. . “What message,” asked Dr. Lacey, “has the church of God for the world to-day? ‘What light can Christianity shed on the problems to be solved? I answer that the church stands for certain principles that are fundamental to the solution of our social problems. She stands first for the brotherhood of man. Sheis not the champion of any class in the community. She is the friend of the people.” - In reference to labor unions, Mr. Lacey said that if one man has the right to join a labor union another has the right to re- -fuse.
