Copper, iron, asbestos and ITER DEPOSIT CAUSES A STIR Host of Claims Filed on Death Valley’s Grim Area,. State Mineralogist Orders Ex- tension of Quest for Copper. 2 EUAREL TR Deatnh Valley's niter deposits are at- tracting renewed attentlon. Recently fif- ty-six claims were filed In the County Recorder's office in San Bernardino, each covering 160 acres. The land is on the Amargosa River,'about two miles north of Salt Springs. ‘A company Is operating with reported success, hauling the niter a great distance over the desert and mak- ing a profit. The company consists of A. W. Best, P. S. Keefer, Edwin Brink, G. E. Bailey, W. E. Bailey, Thomas Bailey and others. According to the Redding Free Press, | ‘W. H. Garlick and his two brothers have refused $60,000 for a gold mine they have opened on Coffee Creek. They have been | working four seasons in the district, toil- ing until snow fell and then going to G:ud- ley to do odd jobs until it was possible to | resume running. When the Coffee Creek | excitement began they were farm hands | | in Butte County, working | month. They | pecting before they found a ledge. | The copper resources of Trinity County | will be investigated to some extent by a | company recentiy formed at Fortuna, | | Humboidt County, to be known as the Fortuna Copper Company. All the stoc holders reside at Fortuna. There are prominent Eastern men con nected with the Bully Hill Copper Mi ing and Smelting Company, which owns the Bully Hill mine and smélting plant in Shasta County. The capital stock Is $2,500,000, divided ipto 100,000 shares of a par value of $25. The. incorporators are given as W. Nelson Cromwell, George Il Sullivan, Henry W. Clark and H. B sons of New York, and William J. of Summit, N. J. The Oceanic quicksilver mine in San| Luis Obispo County will be worked again. New machinery and new furnaces are be- ing placed for operating. The mine was located in 1874 Quest for Copper. State Mineralogist Aubury has directed George A. Tweedy to examine Inyo County for copper and also later to visit Mono and_ Alpine counties for the same purpose. He will then return to the west- ern part of San Diego County. He wiil be joined at Independence, Inyo County, by George McConnel. 8. W. Bower has been instructed to visit Carisso Creek, ‘n San Diego County, to report concerning oil indications. The Redding Free Press says the Balak- lala copper mines of Flat Creek mining district, which have been sold to Colora.lo parties, will be equipped by the new own- ers with an independent smelter. The sale involved the passipg of $500,000. The Press says: The men who have bought the Balaklala are among the richest mining men of Colorado. ‘They represent, it is said, many millions in their own names. Beyond a doubt their sole | purpose is to make this great mine a producer | in the shortest pcssible time. It is safe to | predict they will have a great smelter going at no greatly distant day. The purchasers are E. S. de Golyer, John 8. Camplion, Dennis Sullivan, D. H. Moffett and ex-Governor J. B. Grant of Denver. Rich Strike Reported. The Yreka Journal reports that a pros- ector has discovered an extensive quartz | Fedge on the Kiamath River, meay Homo: lulu, which he has traced a long distance. It is 150 feet wide and averages about $20 per ton. Two Chinese companies are . Par- Curtis The Bodie Miner-index spys that twen- ty stamps will soon be started at the Castle Peak mine. Ten are now dropping |and twenty-five men are employed. The force will be increased. An exvert has been examining mining properties at Benton, Mono County, for Castle Bros. of | ’S!ln Francisco, according to the same au- thority. The Amador Dispatch says: Work s progressing favorably on the Ama- dor Phoenix mine. The shaft has been cleaned and retimbered and rock is being taken out. Free goid is often seen in the rock and there | are a good lot of sulphurets. A mill s being | put up and within six weeks ten stamps wiil | be dropping on the ore got out In the mean- time. The mill will be a ten-stam: one to start with, but will be bullt for fifteen, so that another battery can be added as soon as thera is necessity for it. 3 Preparations are making for work on the Laine mine in Eldorado County, six miles from Fairplay. All the machinery, including drills, will be operated by elec- | tricity. In Sierra County. The Downleville Messenger says: A rich body of ore has been struck in the Telegraph mine at Fir Cap. In extendng the tunnel they have been following the foot- wall of the ledge, and for the past two weeks the ledge has been showing up very favor- ably and offers a good milling proposition. The tunnel is being pushed ahead for the pur- pose of striking the gravel channel. There Is a boom at Wickenberg, due to the recent strike of the Oro Grande. Over men are reported living in tents at Wickenberg. Every hotel and lodging- house is full. By the beginning of August trains may be running on the Searchlight and Quar- tet Railroad, says the Kingman Miner. The railroad will enable the Searchlight Company to put in a milling plant with a capacity adequate to the production of | the mine. The Randsburg Miner remarks: An advertisement in a mining paper that comes to this office reads thus: ‘‘Parties in- terested in placer deposits that cannot be successtully operated owing to lack of water should communicate with Thomas Edison, Or- ange, N. J.” It would seem that the rich gold-bearing gravels that abound around Randsburg would offer an inviting fleld for the use of the improved method of which Edi- son is the patentee. If the slow and primitive process of dry washing now In vogue can be made to yield orofitable results there is no telling what could be accomplished by _the electrical lr“tmenliho‘ dry placers that Edi- wl son has Mexico. British Columbia Minerals. The Minister of Mines reports that Brit- ish Columbia has produced to date $62,- 584,442 of placer gold, $12.812860 of lode old, $12,638,449 of silver, $7,619,626 of lead, ,362,583 of copper and $49,140,917 of coal and coke. The mineral production for 190 was $16,344751. Lode mining has been in progress about ten years. The population of the province is about 160,000, There has been a steady increase in the mineral out- put since 1893. The Bakersfield Echo reports that pros- pectors are numerous in the mountain sections along the east edge of the San Joaquin Valley. Gold and copper ledges have been found. The majority of the prospectors are in the woody district. The Vulture mine, Arizona, will be equipped with a new_ pipe line to convey water from the Hassayampa River. Work which has been suspended since 1891 will be resumed. The mine is cred- ited with having produced $9,000,000 in ore. ‘The old Colorado mill at Loope, so re- ports the Carson Appeal, has been started on ore from the Lewis mines and ten stamps are dropping. Twenty years ago these mines were worked on a large scale, but were shut down temporarily, awaiting the return of English capitalists. Months lengthened into years and they did not come. Now operations have been resumed by ‘Captain Peter Curtz, backed by a strong company, and it is believed that by new and improved processes the mines can be successfully worked. There are large mineral bodles of low grade in this district, and an abundance of wood and water is close at hand. The Phoenix Gazette says: “‘The river range is the scene of consid- :erable activity since the discovery of | Gold road and the sale of the Lovin prop- | erty. This mine was discovered last sum- mer and was sold for $50,000 on simply surface showing and is now being opened up as rapldly as _possible. Another sec- tion of Mohave County hitherto unknown to the mining world is that lyving north of the Colorado River on the Nevada and used such success in New | salt abound over a vast extent of teritory, awalting the advent of capital and trans- gomfion facilities. - Ore of the richest ind is being extracted and shipped to Salt L‘,k: City, and Arizonians know very Iittle it."” i 0L ME NEE NTEDAGTION Hostile Influences Seek to Keep Prices Very Low. Producers Limit Activity Until Market Can Be Improved. LA There are more than five hundred com- pleted oil wells in the Kern County fields. One-fourth of that number are also under drill. Such are the figures supplied by the Bakersfield Californian. In sections 4 and 5, in township 28 south, range 28 cast, there are 1456 completed wells and 47 drilling. In section 29, 25-28, there are 48 completed wells, and 18 are drilling. These figures are opportune, as they fllus- trate the magnitude of the interests rep- resented in the oil industry in one locality and indicate why it should be permanent. Several newspapers have assumed that beeause there 1s a tendéncy to suspend ‘operations to some extent the oil industry of Kern County may languish. The fact is that some well owners nave determtned to wait for better prices for oil. But the ¢il is 1 the ground and the demand is in- cireasing. Untimately the price must rise it the producers show the desire and abil- | ity to act together for their own good. Opposition to Unity. There are several influences represent- ing large investments of capital tnat are concerned in keeping the oil men divided if possible. 'The Stanaard Oil CoMipany has already indicated its purpose by calling for bids for large quantities of oil in the Jsern River district. Then it was plain that the price of oil could not be main- tained when the consumers were bidding against cne another. There are many ol men who believe this move was in- tended as a_ “feeler,” The Standard Oil Company refused to report what any bids were. No one doubts that the Standard Oil intends to handle the product as far as possible. The rallroad companies are also largely concerned in the price of oil. Changing from coal to oil for fuel in their locomo- tives and being compelled to buy they naturaliy seek to get it for the low- est possible prie Disorganization among the oil producers is the surest one to get low prices. The higher the transporta- tien rates, the legs net profit for the oil men. Acting on the old-time principle to blame some one else and so raise a question to_divert the Bublic from the reai issue, the Southern Pacific Company, answering the complaint before the Rail- oz Commissioners concerning the freight rates on oil from Kern Couaty to San Francisco, charges the failure of the oil producers to make the expected prudts on oil to their methods of selling. The fuct ie that there would still be a margin for the oil producers at the present price in San Francisco if the freight 1ates were not enormously higher than for the same service in Texas, where the South- ern Pacific is moving oil. The rallroad | company, having no risks, gets mors net | protit per barrel for the oil merely for moving it down hiil to San Francisco than do the producers of the Kern County fields. If ever there was necessity for the Kern County producers to stand together, this is the time. Stories With Stings. While they are trying to get together, there are all sorts of stories afloat, calcu- lated to persuade the producers that some one will do for them what they evidently must do for themselves to have their business paying what it ought to pay. In- terviews which are pronounced fakes by the parties who were reported to have talked for publication is one method. Pipe lines and gigantic refineries have been bullt in imagination. There are several stories afloat in the Kern River district, | some of which find their way into the | papers. It is constantly more and more apparent that the producers must help themselves by their own efforts. | The Stockton papers report that a dis- tributing plant for oil is being established in the western part of Stockton. Large tanks ‘will be sunk in a depression west of Weber avenue. The oil will be taken to | Stockton from the Kern County fields and Coalinga by rail. It will be pumped from the tanks as needed. The Bakersfield Californian says: It now looks as though the trouble and delay -‘———. —_— India Sitks, new shades for evening wear and fancy work; | extra qual- ity, 20 inch, 25c¢ Yard store has ever so'd. bargain.

Those that have contracts to be | led will purchase the 25-cent oil now be- | ————— ing offered by the smaller companies, who feel that they must sell. and the supply will be so limited that it is expected the price will advance to 50 cents. Speculation in Texas. The United States Investor makes some striking assertions concerning the ofl com- panies of Texas, among the statements being the following: From January 10, 1901, the date of the strik- ing of the Lucas ‘“‘gusher,”” up to about April 15, oil companies with an aggregate capitaliza- tion of $28,067.000 were organized. Six of thess companies’ have a capitalization of $1,000,000, one a capialization of $,000.000 and thirteen a capitalization of $300,000 each. Since April 15 & large addition has been made to this lst, but a large reduction has also been made im that about one hundred companies organized under Texas laws have forfeited their char- ters, owing to their failure to comply with the laws of the State and pay the corporation taxes. Development in the Sunset fleld is ex~ tending easterly. The Sanborn Oil Company has been ine corporated with a capital stock of $250,000 to operate on 36-26-17, in the Devil's Den district in Kern County. The incorporat- ors are E. A. Freeman, N. W. Mahaffey, T. H. Peck, W. H. Willis and Samuel Sanborn.
