United States District Court here to- day. The question is involved in the settlement of the suit of the Inter- state Commerce Commission against the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and Pacific and Southern Californiz Rail- way companies, brought to enforce the order of the commission of 1902 which, gave the shipper the right of routing his own product. The local shippers contend that lhey have the right to designate over what connecting line their shipments shall be sent, after they reach the Eastern terminus of the lines of the above named companies. The defendant com- | panies deny this and assert their privi- lege to route the shipment over what- ever connecting line they choose after the shipment has been consigned to their care. Several arguments were made to-day by counsel for both parties in the con- troversy, after which Judge Wellborn took the matter under advisement. —————— WILL EOON KNOW HIS FATE.—The case of Ernest Alexander, ex-policeman, charged with accepting a bribe of $2 50 from | Lulu Wilson, alias Mamie Linn, will go to the jury this morning.

Kern County yleld- ed in mineral values $3,481,926 in 1902, as estimated by the mineralogist. Pe- troleum made a large proportional showing in the total. The oil wells get credit for turning out 9,777,948 barrels of oil, which was worth at the market rate then obtaining $1,955,585, and it was sold for that sum presumably. Close to the petroleum total in value came the gold production, which is given at $1,165,982. Asphaltum was pro- duced to the @mount of 10,150 tons and to the value of $101,500. Lime brought in $80,856 for 99,360 barrels; silver, $99,- 135; copper, $27,122 for 235,840 pounds; brick clays, $24,500; fullers’ earth, $19,- 246; gypsum, 1000 tons, $8000. Only three counties in California are |larger than Kern. It has an area of 8159 square miles. The State Mineralo- glst attibutes to it “greater variety and contrasts of topography, geology, cli- mate and resources than any other county in California.” Its eastern and southern portions contaln the southern end of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the junction of the range with the | Coast Range at Tehachapi. Its west- ern boundary is along the summit of the Coast Range. The southeastern slope of the Sierras and a large portion of the Mojave desert are included in its southern part. The upper end of the San Joaquin Valley makes up about one-third of the total area. The county is thus seen to include slopes of two mountain ranges, a large and fertile valley plain and an arid desert region. All these contrasting regions contain ' much mineral wealth. On the Sierran slopes, amid forests and streams, are fmportant quartz mining districts. In | the valley-plain, near Bakersfield, is the Kern County oil field, known all over the world for its great richness in petroleum. On the eastern slope of the Coast Range are the Sunset and Mc- | Kittrick oil flelds, which are very pro- ductive. The foothills of both the mountain ranges in the county abound in minerals which are commercially utilized. One of the prominent gold | fields of the State is at Randsburg, on | the desert. Other gold dlstricts are de- veloping ,on the desert side of the | Sierras. FIRST FOR PETROLEUM. | In minerals Kern County stands first {in California as a producer of petro- | leum, gecond in the annual production | of all combined mineral products and ! fitth in its Weld of gold. Among the minerals that it has not yet sufficiently exploited to figure largely in a com- mercial way are iron, coal, lead, mica, | salt, borax, graphite, antimony, fire clay, marble, sulphur and building | stone. The most productive gold mine in California south of the Tehachapl Pass is the Yellow Aster, in the Randsburg district. This ranks with the promi- nent mines in any portion of Califor- nia. It operates 130 stamps. The | Stringer district is near the Randsburg district. There are productive mines in the Mojave district. Gold mining is car- ried on also at Amalie, Caliente, Keyes- ville, Woody, Isabella, Rosamond, Hav- ilah and Kernville. Much general knowledge has been imparted during the last few years by the daily press relative to the oil fields of Kern County. Their fame has, to a lare extent, obscured the solid merits of the other mineral sources of wealth of Kern County. It is hardly necessary to repeat what has been written about the oil fields; yet a brief statement deserves space in this con- nection. The most important field in California in present production is the Kern River fleld. What it has yielded is a very small part of what it is known to contain in petroleum. Unlike gold, which is always sure of being marketed at a profit, allowing it to have been produced at not excessive cost, petroleum, while it has created for itself a greater demand constantly, has, nevertheless, been so necessary to several large interests that they have managed to depress the market rates for their own purposes, so that many full wells have not been operated, and nothing like the possible output has been recorded in any year recently. SQUARE MILES IN OIL. The Kern River fleld on the eastern margin of the San Joaquin Valley, has a present productive area of about three and a half square miles. The wells {n this fleld vary in depth from 600 to 1200 feet. The ofl sand in the center of the field, so asserts the State mineralogist, is 850 feet thick. The great and costly pipe line, tkat extends nearly 300 miles, to deliver ofl at Point Richmond, on the bay of San Francisco, 1s a striking evidence of the confldence that the Standard Oil Company has in the amount of petroleum yet to be drawn from this great mass of oil sand. The extensive refining plant that the Standard Oil Company has created at Point Richmond, at a cost of not less than $1,000,000, is another pointer in the same direction. Of the other oil fields in the county, the Sunset is in the southwestern sec- tion, on the eastern slope of the Coast Range; the McKittrick is in the west- ern portion of the county, on the sast slope of the Coast Range, and about six miles east from the San Luis Obispo County line. The. Midway is in the southwestern part of the county also, on the eastern slope of the Coast Range. In these districts many wells have been drilled and pipe lines have been established to convey thé product of the wells to the cars for transporta- tion. In Kern County there are 129 res- ervoirs that have a combined storage capacity of 5571100 barrels, and 214 4,292,150 barrels. These facts are brought out clearly and concisely in the XKern County register that the State mineralogist has just vertising material for XKern County. !ncfl% ‘the State mineralogist, seeing MM ‘may be used tanks that can store an additional | industries thrive because of the abundance of cheap fuel in easy reach. Two trans-continental railroads pass through Kern. There are two electric power systems in its boundaries, to supply electric light, and water com- panies, factories, etc., and a plant wiil furnish electric power from Kern River to Los Angeles. More horses and cattle are found to be shipped from Kern County than from any other county in the State. Kern boasts 100,- 000 acres of alfaifa land and 50,000 head of cattle are imported annuailly to be fattened. The county had, ac- cording to the latest returns of the County Assessor, 100,000 head of cattle, 200,000 sheep and goats, 15,000 horses and mules, 30,000 swine. Bakersfleld, the county seat, has all modern im- provements and is a picturesque and pleasing city with a great business fu- ture. 2 KERN RIVER'S BASIN. Kern River, rising in Tulare County, has a catchment area of 2328 square miles. It supplies 300 miles of clnus} and 3000 miles of side ditches with water. An artesian belt twenty by fifty miles in extent, has numerous wells that irrigate thousands of acres. The valley lands of Kern are made very productive by the Irrigation sys- | tems. A quarter of a milllon acres of | rich, alluvial lands have been formed by the deposits from the Kern River. There are 2,800,000 acres of wild pas- ture land in Kern County; there are | 500,000 acres that can be irrigated by artesian wells and pumps. In the ther- mal belt are produced semi-tropical fruits. acres in extent; there are 7000 acres in Indian corn and sorghum. The pic- ture of this wonderful mineralized county is amplified by the statement | that it markets pomegranates, figs, olives, ralsins, almonds, oranges, lem- ons, all sorts of berries and melons, | apricots, pears, plums, peaches, nec- tarines, apples and vegetables of every sort—all of its own production. A dividend of 6 cents a share has been declared by the Kennedy Mining Company. Grading for forty additional stamps has been ordered. The Grass Valley Union says that a big shaft will be sunk on the Lamarque mine. The Nome News says that six dredgers will be installed In the Tan- ana country by the Fairbanks Gold, Mining and. Dredging Company, a cor- poration that is capitalized for $1,000, 000. The company will also operate river steamers on the Tanana. “There are now 2000 men in this part of the |y, country,” says the News, “and every day brings more travelers.” Of the six dredgers that have been ordered in San Francisco, two will be plu:ed[ on Fairbanks, two on Pedro and two | on Cleary Creek. Mining is very ac- tive in these localitles. K Falrbanks Creek has been the banner creek.for | the section since that part of the coun- try has been opened. The trail be-| tween Fairbanks and Circle City on|g the Yukon is thronged with teams drawing large loads of supplies and |, machinery. The same paper says that the prospects are good at Anvik, but not much gold has yet been taken out there. SOON TO HYDRAULIC. The Modesto Herald reports that the hydraulicking operations of Doolit- tle and his associates will soon begin at Patricksville, near La Grange. According to the Placer Herald, there is a good chance for a boom in the Ophir district. The opening of the Three Stars mine has been followed by activity at thé Gold Blossom, which has been bonded to parties headed by Waymire of Alameda. Randall & Forden of Los Angeles have bought the Billy Mack mine on the Arizona side of the Colorado River, near Empire Flats, about fifty miles below ' the Needles. The price is ‘re- ported to have been $51,000. The Los Angeles Herald disputes the figures given out by the California Pe- troleum Miners’ Association in refer- ence to the output of certain California oil districts last year. The Herald says that the product of the Whittier and Fullerton fields was underrated and that in the Los Angeles district “the number of wells given is said to be nearly double the actual number.” The recent reports of new and im- portant gold discoveries in Trinity County call to mind the rortune of a former San Francisco newspaper man in the same district. Two years ago Hugh Hume went into Trinity County, and after an examination of some properties got control of three full claims near Carrville. The expenditure of time, labor and money uncovered large mineral deposits with free mill- ing ore of good value. There is an abundance of timber and a never fail- ing supply of water on the claims. More than $175,000,000 in gold have been taken out of the placer mines in Trin- ity County. It is supposed Trinity County will be as much noted for its quartz mines as it has been for {ts | 500 Ton Belmont. gravel deposits. The Maryland Mining Company, so says the Nevada County Miner, has given an extension of a bond on its Alvh- property to Boston parties. The first clean-up of the new twenty- Bolcher F stamp mill of the Bunker Hill Consoli- dated mine, near Amador City, is re- | Caledenia . ported by the Amador Ledger to have given an average for the month's run of $6 a ton. SLUICING IN EL DORADO, Sluicing will probably begin about | s e s May 1 at the Mameluke Hill hydraufc mine in El Dorado County.
