Miss Florence Croker. youngest ot the children of Richard Croker, late chief of Tammany, recently arrived on the White Star liner Oceanic, unrhaperoned for the first time I In her 18 years. She was met at the dock by the house keeper of her brother. Prank Croker. Miss Croker refused to speak ' of her visit to her fsther. She went to her Brother's home, making the trip In an Automobile. Beyond the fact that she Is receiving a careful training at the Sacred Heart . convent, little has been known about the . girl So careful haa been her training 'that she never read a novel or a love ' story until after her 18th year. In addition to her study at the oon- ? vent her studies were superintended by a governess at home and by her mother. Miss Croker wss accomnanied to trie 'Oceanic at Southampton by Mr Croker and her married sister, aire. Bowman. 'There, leaving her in the care of the ship's purser, they bade her good-by. STRIKE OIL IN EASTERN OREGON While Boring for Water Indica tions Are Found of Big Petroleum Field. ABANDON WORK UNTIL CASING 18 PROCURED Find Made on Barnett Near Culver, Which Typical Location. Ranch Is Miss Florence Croker, the Daughter of the Former Tammany Bow, Comes to New York to -Be Edu cated in the Convent of the Sacred Heart. (Special Mspatra to The Jearnal.) Culver. Or.. Nov. 14. Oil has been struck on the Dave Barnett ranch at thla place and In quantities which It Is believed with further development will prove of great richness. The petroleum was found last weak while a well was being drilled on the Barnett ranch, and Indications sustain the belief that the strata covering a big petroleum bed has been pierced. F. M. Loveland began sinking a well on the ranch about two weeks ago, and the shaft had attained a depth of 175 feet when he first noticed Indications of petroleum in the sand which was brought to fhe surface. No water had been found at this depth, and It wss necessary to pour water Into the shaft to facilitate the drilling. At different times, when the sand and slush were brought up. Loveland noticed a greasy substance and hla attention was first attracted by the odor arising from It Finally a portion of the mixture was placed In a bucket and a fire teat made. The mass Ignited readily and continued to burn with a blue flame until nothing but the dtrt and sand remained. After this test had been made opera tions were continued until the shaft had been sunk to a depth of 111 foet.

M Loveland. who has been super intending the work, and who came to thla county from the oil fields In Flor ence, Colo., Is thoroughly familiar with petroleum indications and their peculiar ities, and It was on hla advice that the drilling was discontinued until better facilities could be had with which to pursue the work. He stated that at a depth of 215 feet, where the drilling ceased, no water had been encountered except a KllKht flow found In a gravel bed at a depth of about 100 feet. The sand, he said, which characterises the strata at a greater depth and down to the bottom of the shaft was the best kind of oil sand, and he la firm In his belief that at a greater depth large quan tities ot petroleum will be found. Another Incident which seems to con firm the latter s opinion regarding the field Is the fact that last winter a company wss formed In this neighbor- hood for the purpose of sinking a well at a point about three-quarters of a mile north of the Harnett ranch. The work was started, but owing to some diffi culty which arose among the parties Interested, was abandoned when the well had been sunk to a depth of 160 feat At that level Loveland for the first time noticed that the sand brought to the surfsce bore petroleum Indications, and he was convinced of the fact that ha ha9 found oil when, after handling the sand, he Waa able to squeeze out a small qusntlty of the petroleum itself. He gave the matter but. little thought, how ever, until the work of last week made certain that petroleum la lying below the surface In this region and over a con otdersble area of the district. Typical "Sink." The basin in which tha Barnett ranch is situated is a typical petroleum "sink. ' and has recolved much favorabla com ment at various times In the past by geological writers who have made a study of the district and the condi tions surrounding It. That their con clusions have been partly confirmed la borne out by the fact that while boring the well on the Barnett ranch a small Strata of bituminous coal waa cut. Barnett has already had occasion to realise, the financial effects to be gained should further development disclose, as Is now believed, sn unlimited field of petroleum. About two weeks ago, be fore the oil indications had been noticed, fore the oil Indications had been ontlced. party or unto people, who are con decided to abandon the work at thls-f nctwl wl,h the Ischutes Irrigation ft j-ower company, stopped at thlR place on their way to Bend. At that time they seemed pleased with the Bsrnett ranch from an agricultural standpoint and offered him $2,000 for it. Barnett re fused the offer, and a few days ago the party returned from Bend and again stopped at the ranch. They had heard rumors of the petroleum strike and at once went out to the well to Investigate. What they saw evidently satisfied them, for a few minutes after examining the product of the well they offered Bsrnett 14,000 for his property. This offer waa also refused, and at present the owner of the ranch is making arrangements to secure casing and go ahead with the drilling as soon as. practicable. Tha pipe and other equipments will not ar rive from Portland for several days yet. but at that ttme the sinking of tha well will be again resumed. MAY CONDEMN ALL FIRE ESCAPES IN SEATTLE (Kpeclal IMapatrb to The Journal.) Besttle. Nov. 24. Fire Marshal Kel logg announcea that as soon as a case now pending In the Justice court,, is de cided. In which fire escapes are af fected, he will condemn every fire es cape, in the business part of the city which does not comply fully with tha present ordlnsnces providing for the safety of human lives. About one-half of the hotel buildings snd more than So business blocks In tha heart of the city are affected. After the condemnation order has been Issued, If the old escapes are not torn down and Iron stairways substituted the buildings will bo taken possession of by the marshal and closed until the changes are made.

(".pedal tMapatrh to Tha Journal.) Junction City, Cal., Nov. 24. One of the most Important power propositions ever projected for northern California Is rapidly nearlng completion at this place. Every aasurance Is given that by tha first of next year the North Mountain company will be delivering electrical energy at Eureka, Humboldt county, a distance of 70 miles. Work has been in progress most of the year, and now the big concrete power sta tion below this town is about nntsneu. the Dole line to thu coast has been erected, flumes for the former hydrau lic syatem used haa been repaired, and larse force divided Into many crews Is driving a 1, 200-foot tunnel for the flume line where It formerly passed over a hog-back or Sliding grounu. The tunnel will be finished by December 15. and the management is confident of completing all of the equipment by that data. The Initial installation for the Norm' Mountain plant will be 2,600 horac power, divided into two units. For each unit there la a 1.260 horse power hori zontal Pelton. and a 1.260 horse power Waggner-Bullock generator. Tha min imum flow of Canyon creek during the dry aeason Is 1,200 miners' inches, whrle the flume and ditch line is maae to ac commodate a maximum of 4,000 miners' Inches. A storage reservoir system to be completed at the head of the stream In natural lakes and basins will, during the low wster -season, augment the volume to 4.000 inches. The diversion is made seven and half miles above the power station, giving a head of 600feet. Transmission will be in a direct line- to Kureka.. The elevation of the power plant Is 1,600 feet, while the highest divide crossed by the line In getting out of the basin of Trinity river Is 4.600 feet above sea level, rne enure system being near the sea level and In fluenced by warm coast airs, will be kept easily In order after tha line Is up. and there will be little loss In trans mission.. No 4 copper wire is to De used. The management has estimated the loss of energy in transmission at from 10 to 20 per cent In addition to supplying Eureka and other coaat point In Humboldt county, the new power plant will develop min ing operations in the immediate coun try. Next year the management pur poses increases in the Instsllatlons if there Is a demand for the energy. NEW GARVIN CYANIDE PLANT BEING TESTED Tests are being made in the Morris laboratory. ack of the Hammond com- , .... m.rii mt rMt of the new Oarvln cyanide process, which haa bean ex plained In these columns. For the pres ent Mr. Oarvln Is determining tha effl ..i.,, ...c ,,r hi. limitation device, and the length of time required, to effect through extraction or gota ana stiver. Agnation Is accomplished by permitting the pulp and solution to paas out together -at the bottom ot a una. mixing won m lighter solution decanted front the top after It has passed through the precip itating chamber, and pumping the whole by means of a centrifugal machine back to the main tank. Right to nine hours have been required so far In effecting good extraction, but ss the' pulp had varying fineness snd the ore was taken from a number of sample lots sub mitted, no general average test of time has been obtained. Mr. Oarvln and Mr. Morris state that little was left In the tailings after the time Indicated above. Precipitation waa observed, but has not been so csrefully tested.

In the first tests silver was being thrown down and some little gold seemed to be In evidence, but the In ventor has not yet had time to determine the results of this new work. VERSUVIUS NEEDS FIVE MORE STAMPS ALREADY (Special Diapatch to Tha Journal.) Cottage drove. Or., Nov. 24. F. J. Hand, manager of the Vesuvius Mining and Milling company, of Bohemis, came from the district yesterday with the flrst clean-up of the new 10-stamp mill. The mill hss been In commission but a few days and the result from the plates Is very satisfactory. The product Is yet amalgam, which the manager will have retorted In Portland. Mr. Hand declined to state the amount of the clean-up, but aald It would run Into four figures. He also states that the success of tha mill and the value of the ore are so satlafactory that he now Intends to add another flve-stamp to the mill this fall If he can get the machinery Into camp. This Is the flrst gold taken from the Bohemia district since the dismantling of the Helena, Mustek and Champion mills at the time of transfer to the Oregon Securities company for consoli dation, over two years ago, From this time on the Vesuvius will nuke Its monthly clean-up and show to the world that specie payment haa been resumed and will continue In Bohemis. This is a reminder of the good old days when the gold bricks were a regular monthly con tribution to the coffers of the fortunate owners of the mines of ' that camp. .aasssssssssssi SiBmmtmm ssV Ausfl IsssV Bstssi 9sssssli0asspP!ssssssssssssBssssssRW ll..
