A score | of countles, if polled, would vote that a | “gusher” is the one thing needed to at- | tract attention and secure investment of | capital in oil lands. Never before has the | oil fever reached guch proportions in the | counties north of Fresno. Every section is hopeful and given to | exploitation. ‘Whatever can be done will | | be done to verify the cheerful report of | | State Mineralogist Cooper to the general | effect that other ofl regions of great fer-| tility yet undiscovered exist in Californfa. | The incorporation of oil companies goes | steadily on and the dealers in oil well sup- pli | are filling their coffers in return for ! | paraphernalia ich will decide whether ( | it is a “‘gusher” or a “dry well.” | Discoveries in Texas do not jar the con- { fidence of the California petroleum men, | for they reason that consumption will & | crease at home, as it has ever since any- | thing like an adequate supply of oil could | be had as a basis for contract making. »me extracts from the papers of the | week fllustrate the opinions prevailing in iwxdfily separated sections: We are in the beginning of a great develop- ment in California, in Santa Cruz County, as o development compared with which in future years the gold and the lumber and the fruit will appear to be of minor im- portance. Such is the view of the Santa Cruz Surf. The Tri-Weekly Promoter, published at | Willows, reports: | Practically all the land in the ofl belt of | this county has been taken up.. Everybody now wants to buy. Even those who had no faith |in the existence of ofl in our county are load- | |ing up with stock and the boom seems to be near at hand. The boring continues and each stratum seems to be more assuring and It is | said to be identical with what the experts say | 1t should be. | “The residents of Shasta County,” says | the Redding Searchlight, “have gone oll mad.” Tt then goes on to give particulars as follows During the past two months it is estimated that no less han 600 locations of petroleum | placer claims have been filed with the County | R ecorder, and the number is still lncrans(x The fa of land different claim: and the results which will follow the discovery of oil on the supposed ofl belt are looked upon with the greatest satls- faction by the 4awyers of the community, who form of fat fees when the several claimants hall attempt to establish their titles to the land In all directions the bonding of lands is going on. If another Kern River dis- trict is discovered it will not be for 1z 4 of searching. The *“oil expert” is making money telling incorporators of | companies what he thinks about the re- spective tracts of land that they have se- | lected for thelr exploitation. | Considerable interest centers in the | “test” bill in Sacramento, which the Los | Angeles Record now attributes to the| Standard Oil, and in the still active con- troversy between the mineral claimant | and the scripper. There has been a large extension of the | area of operations in the Sunset field | within a few months. In Santa Barbara County _the drillers have been active in the north. The Western Union well on There has been less activity in drilling at Summerland than pre\'iously,; but tank building has progressed. The | facts concerning recent discoveries of ofl | in the northern countles have all been | mentioned in the telegraphic news.

In order to locate the center of gravity as near the track as poseible, the builders have flattened it at the bottom. A cross _section would look something like a triangle with its sides and bowed out. As there are sixty of these cars in course of construction, the promise of greater facilities for getting the oll o market are satistying. This camp also will s00m be in better position for delivery, as the two-and-a-half-mile extension parallels the strike and gives opportunity all along the line to conduct the ofl from the wells by means of pipe systems, whith are bound because of thelr | shortness to prove equal to all demands. Jay Cleveland, vice president of the Philadelphia and Arizona Mining Com- pany and manager of the Minnesota mine at Chloride, Ariz., says that if freight rates can be lowered sufficlently the fur- naces in Arizona would probably all use California petroleum in lieu of coal. The lack of bricks at Bakersfield, with which to wall up bojlers and bulld ‘fire- boxes, has delayed the opening up of some wells in Kern County. The Bakersfleld | Californian reports that several parties were recently searching through Bakers- field for 2000 bricks and could not_ get | them. Neither of the brickyards in Kern | had a supply on hand. Others who had them would not dispose of them. Bricks will have to be shipped in from the out- side to meet immediate demands. The Paso Robles Record says that ar- rangements have been made for sinking wells on the Henry ranch, south of Tem- pleton. As a rule ofl wells do not increase their | low without assistance, especially if they are tried producers and have been hitting | | a steady gaft for several months. There | are exceptions, and the latest is an old | well at Summerland, which, apparently without reason, has 'increased its flow from ten to 100 barrels per day. This well is drilled in the ocean bed 250 feet from the shore. Since September it has been producing at the rate of ten barrels, but | as just become one of the star produc- ers in the Summeriand field.

EASTERN MONEY HUNTING MINES Banker Finds- Reasons for Investing Funds in Quariz Ledges. PR News From the Rich Ore Counties of the State Continues to Be of the Encouraging Sort. Better times seem !n store for the own- ers of mining properties who need money to develop them. The Eastern man of money, seeking some place in which to safely and profitably invest his money, Is turning to the mines. Proof of this is found In the statements made by E. Rich, an Eastern banker, in a recent article in the National Banker. Mr. Rich says the old-fashioned prejudice - against invest- ments in mines was-based upon losses, while it was overlookeu that millions are annually lost in corn, wheat or pork spec- ulation. Mr. Rich writes, in part, as fol- lows: There s yearly as much money Invested in mining as ‘there is in_banking, but banking does ‘not _prove as safe or as profitable as mining. In a time of prosperity the average banking dividends seldom exceed § per cent & vear. That the pumber of dividend paying mining companies {s larger than all other com- bined industries is fully sustained by statis- tics. That mining produces quicker end greater profits than any other industrial pursuit is evidenced by the score of multi-milllonaires. That thefe are risks in mining as well as in other pursuits is well known to all reasonable minds, but that the immense fortunes of the Mackaye, the Fairs, the Ficlds, the Sharons, the BaldWins and hundreds of others, are dus to mining cannot be denied. Accordin to the census there is less than one hundredth part of our industrial population engaged in min- ing, producing for one year a mineral output Of 3679,597,§76.M It other industries Were as pro- ductive of wealth as mining, we would have, ncenr.dgng_t:v the above ratio, a yearly product of $67,950,787,600, or twenty-two times as much as the estimated circulation of gold and silver money of the entire world, The yearly product of gold, silver, lead and copper alone, if dis- tributed among the miners engaged in the dif- ferent mining Btates producing these metals, Averages from $1000 to $3000 per man, or twenty times as much as the per capita 6f products gr all other combined industries.

Stories from there agree that a score of mines are paying their way In development work. The dis trict was located in 1594 by George Bow: ers, a prospector, who had-several claims on the hills about two and on half miles from Mojave.

CARRIED TOO FAR. The Fear of Being Deceived or Hum- bugged Prevents Many People From Trying a Good Medigine. Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that peo- ple are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be a radical perma- nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many such people pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum- bugged, especially in medicines.

The miners of Quartz Valley, according to the Yreka Journal reports, are getting ready for extensive operations in quartz and hydraulic miniag and expect to do well this season, having a great abun- dance of water from the immense snow reservoir of Salmon Mountain.
