500 MEN Will BE AT WORK IN LOCAl COAL FIELDS BY JULY FIRST;
OIL RIG ARRIVES AND WORK STARTS ON GORE PLACE ON DESERT
QUESTION REGARDING
OIL Will BE SETTLED
WITHIN
Work Sinking Oil Well Started This Morning
on (lore Property Eight Miles Northeast
City-Desert Oil Company will Sink Several
Wells Before They Abandon Field
Within 30 days the question of whether there is oil in the fields adja
cent to Medford will have been settled. Actual work was started Monday
morning on the Gore property along the lino of tho Pacific & Eastern, about
eight miles northeast of this city. The oil drilling outfit recently purchased
by the Desert Oil company, the officer of which include Colonel J. F. Mun
dy, Howard S. Dudley and A. E. Reamoi arrived in this city Sunday and was
early on Monday morning shipped out over the Pacific & Eastern to the
property, where it is being unloaded. Tho work of drilling will be superin
tended by J. W. Morris, an eastern oil export, and Walter Mundy. It Is es
timated that to sink the first well It will require about 30 days. If this one does
rot prove a success, others will be Run this company,
k on the extensive properties owned by
The Desert Oil company is in mi
den ho a luro company. That will pome
litter. This company was formed sim
ply fnr the work of deciding whether
oil is to be found near Medford, Other
and larger ones are being formed to
take up tin' work if this one is success
ful in striking a flow of oil. The Des
ert Oil company is going ahead ami
settle once and for all the question that
hac been so prominently be f tiro local
people for so great a while.
Tho rig which has boon purchased by
the company is modern in all respects,
being eonstructed by tho Star Drilling
Machine company of Akron, O. It has
all the lnt.st improvements. Over lit' Ml
ieet of casing has arrived and more will
be ordered as it is needed.
Control 1000 Acres.
Tho company controls a lion I 1000
ncrcs of land and has options on nil
other desirable property in the field.
In acquiring this land Colonel Mundy
has been in Medford since last summer
n nd until this time had not secured
such leases as he wished before enter
ing upon the work. II is long delay,
however, h:ts been more than justified.
While sinking the well, every font of
the material passed through will be
carefully tested to determine whether
any other valuable minerals are to be
found, such as coal. An outlook will
be kept for natural gas. Colonel Mundy
believing that this will also bo found
in this section of country.
The location of the well is within n
half mile of the Paeifie & Eastern
railroad and wilt therefore be easy to
reach. About six men will be employed
upon the rig and the wells sunk as rap
idly as possible.
Sure of Success.

The Ideal Church.
Last night at the tabernacle large
amlieiieo listened very attentively to
O.o fourth nnd last sermon in tho series
of sormons on "Ideals for Young Poo
pie.' The subject "Tho Ideal Church"
was presi nted. Mr. Horn laid in part:
"The founder of the church was born
in Bethlehem, Mic 5:2; Matt. 2:U.
.lesus of Nazereth was the founder of
tho Ideal church. Mutt 11:18; I. Cor.
3:21-22. .lesus Christ is the founda
tion of the church. T. Cor. 3:11; Is. 2S
Iti. Christ is the hood of tho church, !
Col. : IS. The Ideal church began
nt Jerusalem. The piimitive or model
church was one body, united. There was
o well defined law of admission into
the primitive church. That law was
faith, repentance, confession, baptism.
The church in primitive times and the
followers of Christ were distinguished
by a divinely given name. The primi
tive church had but one system of gov
ernment, i. p.. Congregational. The
primitive Christians had but one bond
of union, faith in Christ, and obedience
to his law; ono tie of (if filiation, love to
God and one another; one mission, the
conversion of the world to Christ: one
dost in v, the everlasting city of find.
Let us restore the Ideal church in this
glorious twentieth century."
Stereopticon Entertainment.
Tuesday night at the tabernacle there
will be given a picture entertainment
under the auspices of the Bible school.
Views of the Holv Land will be thrown
upon the canvass. Admission only 1
'tnts. Everybody come.
Talk with Dr. Pag should yon dire
orchard tracts or ouiine property.
DAYS
nrd S, Dudley, who h
had considera
ble experience in eastern oil fields,
''there is oil to be found in that vi
cinity. Kvervt hing lends its strength
in that prediction. We are so sure of it
tiiat we are ready to sink several thou
sands of dollars in determining the
soundness of our judgment.
' ' We have acquired t ho control of
desirable property throughout the
i il field and if we strike oil, as we ex
pect to do, we will form larger com
i.anies to work the property anil exploit
Medford as an oil center, The indica
tions are much greater for success in
his neighborhood than they were in
many sections where oil has been found.
"We do not intend to stop the work
of determining whether there is oil in
the local field or not until after we
I. a ve sunk several wells and made a
; ht-roiigh test of all the oil country in
this section. As for me, 1 have not the
Iiast hesitancy in stating that we will
trilte a flow of oil, ami a large one
at that.
Thirty Diys on First Well.
'It will tal e about .'10 days in which
to sink the first well. This will allow
! lie men get accustomed to the work
ings of the new machine so that after
that 1 boy can sink the wells on an av
erage of 'JO days ' time. Of course
some thing might happen to delny the
work, but we believe that within 30
days the question ns to tho value of the
oil fields surrounding Medford will be
t-ettled."
Karly Monday morning a large wag
uii load of supplies for Die oil men was
sent out to the desert. Tho enr carry
ing the rig was shipped out over the
Pacific & Eastern, and by Tuesday it
will be in place and ready for the work
of sinking the well.
KING EDWARD PLEASED
WITH OREGON APPLES
A most interesting acknowledgment
of the apples sent by the Portland Com
mercial club to King Edward comes
in a letter from Buckingham palace,
written by Oeueral D. M. Brobyn, keep-
r of the privy purse to Ins majesty.
King Edward, to Tt. E. Brcroton.
A litte extract from (ieneral Bro
byn 's letter is interesting:
"The five boxes of jipples which were
iont to his majesty in rived quite safe
y r.nd were thought v ry highly of by
the king and others who tasted them.
I write to convey his majesty's thanks
for the fruit.
Should we all live for another
Christmas, and if you will kindly send
Mrectly to me at Sandringham a small
supply of these apples, writing me a
few lines of warning of their dispatch,
1 promise to bring them to the notice
"f t lit king and his majesty's guests
assembled at Sandringham at that
on of the year, and will give you a
full report of them. '

be held on April 3, when Professor
Lewis will bo in attendance and speak

"Resolved, That we, the members of
the Rogue River Horticultural society,
hereby petition the honorable judge and
commissioners of Jackson county to
appropriate said sum of $.",0,000 fnr the
construction of said highway, believing
the construction of said highway to be
a matter of more importance to Jack

is now holding meetings at the above

lion of physical vigor, intense earnest

terance. Having traveled iu the Holy
Land, he is aide to give Bible locali
ties, a picturesque description, which
gives his sermons a peculiar charm. The
people who did not attend the Metho
dist Episcopal church yesterday missed
:t spiritual and intellectual feast. Such
preaching is not only food for (he soul,

i- n sweet singer. When he sings you
don't simply hear Icautiful tones, but
he puts soul into his singing. The above

who heard Rev. Lewtas yesterday will
