TKAcnojf coMPAirr before the
STREET COBiailTTEE.
City & Subnrbsa Offers No Objection
to Another Line for Sontb. Port
land Street Matters.
Discussion of the Fifth-street franchlso
asked by the Portland Traction Company,
for an electric roadway Into South Port
land, was the principal topic before tho
committee on streets yesterday. The
matter was left as it was before, partly
oyvlng to the fact that City Attorney Long
was unable, from sickness, to render an
opinion on the right to grant a franchlso
over portions of the streets where a fran
chise now exists, and partly from a dis
position manifested by the City & Sub
urban system to reach an amicable agree
ment on the franchise question. The
question wols laid over until the next
meeting of the committee, two weeks
fcence.
"When Chairman Martin announced that
the franchise was up for consideration,
two more petitions were presented, with
the statement that between three-fourths
and seven-eighths of all the property
owners immediately adjacent to the pro
posed line were represented therein. H.
C. Campbell, general manager of the City
& Suburban line, being present, was asked
if he had any statement to make to the
' committee. He said much had been said
1 cince the discussion arose, about the f ran
' chise granted the City & Suburban. To
give the committee authentic information
on the subject, Mr. Campbell assured tho
members that It was the company's inten
tion to build the lino into South Portland
' according to the terms of the franchise,
and that within the nexl six months, all
statements to tho contrary notwithstand
ing. He said further that tho City & Sub-
urban lease of the Metropolitan line, bet
ter known as the Second-street system,
would expire soon, and it was probable
that the Portland Traction Company could
make arrangements with the representa
tives of that concern to get a right of
way into the territory sought. This, he
thought, would be more satisfactory to
nil concerned, as the City & Suburban
would then have all of its line to itself,
and the Portland Traction Company
would enjoy the same convenience with
respect to theirs. When tho Fifth-street
franchise was first spoken of, Mr. Camp
bell sold he thought tho two lines now
penetrating that country were sufficient,
but, considering It .was a very thriving
community, with good prospects, could
ece no reasons why three lines, or even
four, should be opposed. He admitted
that he spoke without consulting tho
Hoard of Directors of tho City & Sub
urban regarding the possibilities of mak
ing a deal with the Metropolitan fran
chise. Until the City Attorney could ren
der an opinion on tho question before
him, and time had been given for a
consultation over the suggestions he had
made, he thought It best that the mat
tor should be postponed.
Judge H. H. Xorthup, representing the
Portland Traction Company, replied that
he saw no particular objection to another
postponement, at least until the legal
opinion could be had. He said he was
glad to hear Mr. Campbell's statements,
and wished he had announced officially
that the franchise over that small por
tion of the City & Suburban's line affected
had been agreed upon. If the accommo
dation of people In that section was the
principal object sought, the speaker said
he could not see why the right to a small
portion of First street In common with the
City & Suburban was not conccaeG.
Judge Northup hinted at a report heard
sometimes that when capital wanted to
Invest in Portland It was often not al
lowed to, wlilch, however, he said he did
irot believe, but merely mentioned in con
nection with tho fact that here was a
company wanting to expend a large sum
In the city, and only awaiting the privi
lege being granted them by the Council.
Street Improvement!.
Appropriation from the general fund for
the improvement of the south end of
Grand avenue, on the contingency that
the property-owners would furnish enough
additional to put down a Belgian block
pavement, was laid over until next meet
ixg. City Engineer Chase was Instructed to
prepare estimates for improvement of Col
lege street, for which a petition had been
presented; also East Alder, between East
j-weutn and East Twentieth, and one
block of Tillamook street
James Anderson was given permission
to lay a plank road on two blocks of very
bad street on the East Side, near his
brick kiln, where much hauling had to
be done.
Nlcolal Bros, sent In a protest against
the proposed improvement of one block
of KIcolal street, for which an appro
priation of $150 has been asked from the
general fund. They claim to be the ad
joining property-owners, and asked that
the street be vacated entirely as a publlo
highway. JCo action was taken.
Structures Urgently Jn Need of Repair
City Engineer Chase again urgently ad
monished the committee that that por
tion of Northup street between Ninth and
Twelfth would have to be Improved im
mediately or great damage might result.
Tills Is an elevated roadway, which Is in
very bad repair. A motion carried that
the City Engineer be Instructed to prepare
estimates of the required Improvement,
with the purpose that the amount be as-
cesseu against abutting property.
Another report was made about the con
dition of the Front-street bridge over
Marquam Gulch. The substructure of
this was recently rebuilt, in which tho
city aided to the extent of appropriating
S?00 out of the general fund. Engineer
Chase says the decking is in deplorable
condition now, and It will probably re
quire $1500 properly to replace It. Within
less than six months previous a petition
was circulated for this Improvement, and
was remonstrated down, so that such
measures cannot be adopted again for a
few months yet. The general fund is
overstrained already. What shall be done
to keep this important highway in con
dition Js the question. The committeo
made no recommendation In regard to the
matter.
A. C. Lohmlre, J. F. Kerrigan and R.
Ferrers, the Multnomah Driving Associa
tion's .committee, were present to urge
the dedication of a street through Ter
williger's Park, that Kelly street niay bo
extended. The committee recommended
that the street be dedicated through.
WHALE BONES NAMED.
Dispute About City Museum Curios
Is Settled.
So much conflicting Information con
cerning the whale bones In the City Mu
seum has been received by Colonel Haw
kins, the superintendent, that he has gone
to the trouble to write to F. W. True,
executive curator of the Smithsonian In
stitution, for facts in the matter. Mr.
Hawkins sent to the great authority good
photographs of the bones, and also exact
measurements, and a full description of
them. He received the following letter in
reply:
"Washington, Feb. 20. Mr. L. L. Haw
kinsDear Sir: The whale photographs
and your letter of February 3, addressed
to the secretary, has been placed In my
hands. Please accept my thanks for the
photographs, which I am very glad to
have.
"Your No. 1 Is the left lower Jaw of a
sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus), as
you suppose.
"Noe. 1 to 5 are from a humpback whale
(Megaphtera), and not a right whale. No.
2 is the right lower Jaw. The skull shown
In photographs 3 to 5 Is fragmentary, all
the front part, the maxillae, praemaxlllae,
eta, having been broken off. The majority
of whale skulls found on beaches are in
this condition, the anterior part being
easily broken and detached from the base
of the skulL
"Thanking you again for tho pains taken
with the photographs and measurements,
I am, youra very sincerely,
"F. W. TRUE."
.No. 1 in the letter refers to the big
bone on the top floor of tho City Hall.
Nos. 2 to 5 are the bones on the ground
floor. Mr. True calls No. 2 the right lower
jaw of a humpback whale. This was
erroneously supposed to be a rib of a
right whale.

LET THE STRANGERS IN.
Mining Man's Vic-iva Concerning' the
New Smelter.
F. J. Hard, a prominent mining man of
Portland, takes exceptions to some por
tions of an article from Sumpter, which
appeared a few days ago, where the writer
states that "the management of a smel
ter, if one be erected, must be placed In
the hands of the very nest men of Port
land," following with the statement that
"honesty must bo applied to its business."
Mr. Hard said yesterday: "Does Mr.
Johns think there are no honest men but
the best men In Portland, or does ho
think tho best men in Portland know more
about running a smelter?
"I believe Portland's best men have on

"Wells Interesting Facts.
In Southern California for several years
native petroleum has been produced In
sufficient quantities to become a recog
nized commercial factor, but only recent
ly have any serious efforts been made to
locate oil fields north of Tehachapl. The
results obtained already far surpass the
most sanguine expectations, and are a
guarantee of a brilliant future for this
industry in California.
Tnlnw Iia Mnc-4- 1ft 'vrnii-j ollrtpnlo Vino
, produced and marketed 12.000.000 barrels
ol cruue on, weem uvei ia,u.wu. n ax
the production was only 300.000 barrels;
this year It will not fall short of 5.000.000.
The oil belt, running through Fresno,
Kings and Kern Counties, -is the richest
in the state at present, as evidenced by
the number of flowing wells already de
veloped and the quality of oil rcoduced,
the oil already found being of a remark
ably fine grade, rich in lubricants and
illumlnants.
The oil Industry of California means
fornla has at last found the key which
unlocks the door to a superb industrial
future.
In the Coallnga District a number of
wells have beeu drilled that are now
flowing from 350 to 1000 barrels per day.
At Bakersfield, Kern River, McKIttrlck
and Kreyenhcgen Districts the excitement
is intense, and flowing wells are being
struck dally. Stock that could be bought
for $1 per share today tomorrow cannot
be bought for $15 per share, and In some
cases It has been sold for 5200 per share.
j If the well is a good producer and a high
grade or on.
Dr. Hayward Invested only 51200, and In
less than one year drew down 5160,000 in
dividends, and then sold his holdings for
$100,000 In cash. A conductor on the
Southern Pacific Railroad Invested $120
In stock, and sold out in just eight months
fcr $12,000.
This oil Is contracted for as fast as it
flows, for a term of years, at prices rang
ing from $1 to $4 per barrel. Many wells
can bo drilled on 1C0 acres of ground, and
the income from the Investment would
bo difficult to estimate.
The market Is Increasing daily. As tho
present output per month of the state is
400,000 barrels, this amount would not sup
pi) the consumption of Los Angeles alone.
The Southern Pacific Railroad and Santa
Fe Railroad arc consuming from 1500 to
2000 barrels per day each. Sugar refineries
are consuming large amounts.
The railroad companies are rapidly
changing their locomotives from coal to
oil-burners, and by thorough tests have
demonstrated that there is & saving of
over 2S per cent
The Southern Pacific Railroad is chang
ing on one division 100 locomotives, at a
cost of 300 each, from coal to oil-burners.
The cost of development Is compara
tively small, compared with mining de
velopment. The cost of contracting a well drilled
would be $5 per foot, including casing.
Most of the companies are purchasing
their own drilling rigs, making the cost
of a well much less. When oil is struck,
the wells are Immediately connected to
the pipe line leading to the tanks of the
purchaser of the product, this ending the
ment, having several rigs in the fields.
The Oriental Oil Company has no devel
opments, but is selling stock for the pur
pose of securing a rig and drilling a well.
A great many Portland people have in
vested In the company's stock.
It is predicted that their stock will ad
vance as rapidly as others as development
goes on. The 160 acres of land owned by
them is situated in the center of the oil
belt, with several springs where oil can
be dipped up with a bucket. This com
pany has established an office at room
41, Concord building, where a representa
tive of The Oregonlan was shown sam
ples of the oil taken from this and ad
joining properties. The foundations for
great fortunes have already been laid In
California In the oil Industry, and men
who a few years ago wero comparatively
poor are today rated millionaires. Un
like mining,' the cost of taking oil from
the earth, once It Is discovered. Is trifling.

THE RICH GOLCONDA.
The Company Ilns Made Portland Its
Principal Office Mr. English Com
ing Here to Live The Mine
and Its Prospects.
Portland may well congratulate herself
upon the fact that Messrs. J. G. and J.
T. English have Incorporated the Gol
conda Mining Company jmd made this city
the principal office of the corporation, and
tho further fact that Mr. J. T. English
has decided to make Portland his home
and cast his lot with us in the future.
The Golconda mine Is a wonder In the
mining world; Its ledge Is not only ex
tensive, but four distinct ore chutes have
been cut, that carry as much, if not more,
free gold than any ore chutes in tho
world, some of the rioh specimens of
which can be seen In the office of the O.
R. & N. Co., at Third .and Washington
streets; and other specimens will also Be
displayed at the company's office. In the
Chamber of Commerce building, next to
tho safe deposit vaults, which will be
opened for business on Monday.
An Oregonlan reporter called on several
officers of tho new company, and tlus is
what they had to say with reference to
the property:
Mr. J. T. English, vice-president and
manager, said:
"Wo purchased this property about two
years ago. It was then nothing but a
promising prospect. Since that time we
have expended over $250,000 in Its develop
ment, and we now feel that we have one
of the best mining properties In this coun
try. Before we decided to Incorporate
I was offered $1,000,000 for the property,
but declined to accept the proposition, as
we do not Intend under any circumstances
to dispose of a controlling Interest in the
mine.
"We have Incorporated In order to per
petuate our holdings, and to prevent a
suspension of operations that might be
caused by tho death of any of the parties
Interested.
"I have been solicited time and again to
sell atock, and now have decided to offer
a small amount for sale to the Portland
people. I am coming here to live, and
expect to Invest In your city, and am
willing that your people may have an, op
portunity to bo Interested with us.
"The first $50,000 realized from the sale
of stock Is to be used In Increasing tho
milling capacity of the mine from 10 to
40 stamps, and providing additional deep
mining machinery.
"We are now running night and day
with a 10-stamp mill, and tho property
Is complete In every detail. We have an
office, assay office moderately equipped,
messhouse, houses for all the employes,
sawmill, shafthouse, with a complete
I hoisting plant for 500 feet of depth, an
I electrical transmission plant, operated by
I water power, which has a permanent ca
pacity sufficient for running the mill with
ine uuuiuonui macninery contemplated,
and furnishing all 'the light necessary for
the mine and buildings connected there
with. "We have all the timber needed for fuel,
mine and sawmill, with several miles of
good roads leading thereto.
"The oronertv. that hns hpp.n AppApA tn
j the company, comprises nine quartz and
seven placer claims. Our mine Is now
earning from 6to 10 per cent per annum
on its capital stock, above operating ex
penses, and I firmly believe will earn 2
per cent per month net when tho new
machinery contemplated is installed. The
I mine Is entirely out of debt, and the
property has been turned over to the cor
poration absolutely free and clear of all
incumbrances."
Mr. J. Frank Watson. nrpsMonf- nf fho
I Merchants' National Bank, and treasurer
of the company, said:
"I was asked to take an interest in this
property and become one of the officers of
tho Golconda Mining Company, but Mr.
English insisted that I should first visit
; the mine and satisfy myself before doing
Iso. Agreeable to his request, together
with Mr. Vincent Cook and others, I went
to the mine and thoroughly examined the
property, and I am more than pleased
witn tno result, i nave never seen such
rich ore as I saw in tho tunnels, drifts
ana stapes ot tno uoiconaa mine; it is a
great and permanent property, and I am
' satisfied It is all it has been represented
to be, and that Mr. English is modest in
j his estimate of Its earning capacity."
I Mr. V. A. Schilling, of the O. R. & N.
Co., and secretary of the company, said:
"I have been requested many times to
stock the Free Coinage, but I have felt
that it had not Teached that stage of de
velopment which would warrant placing
tne same on the market, because pur
j chasers of mining stock generally want
I results at once on their Investments: so I
( have been Instrumental In inducing Mr.
English to offer some stock In the Gol
I conda to the Portland people, because 1
j know that it will be a dividend-payer from
i the start, and I have no doubt the stock
. will double In value within less than a
J year from this date."
j Mr. Edward Cannon, president of the
! Northwest Electric Engineering Company,
and one of the directors of the Golconda,
' said:
"I have known the Englishes for 25
years. Mr. J. G. English, president of the
I company, has been president of the First
National Bank, of Danville, III., since
its organization. In 1S63, and is a very
: wealthy man. No one In his country has
a higher reputation for Integrity and busi-
ness ability. Mr. J. T. English has also
j had large business experience and enjoys
. the same reputation as his father.
"They are not strangers to the mining
1 world, as they were large stockholders In
! the Lo Rol mine, and made some $300,000
out of that property. The stockholders
will always receive honest and fair treat-
...,.... ufc me uauus ui muse wno own a
controlling Interest In the mine."
