ASHLAND, Aug. 1? A tract approx
lmatlng 3500 acres in extent has been
leased from the government by the
Hartman Syndicate, Inc., which has
southern Oregon headquarters In this
city, engaged in the extraction of oil
from shale, this particular rock
abounding on the leased lands In fact,
there is a big mountain of it. The
,.artman brothers are engineers, both
civil and mining, and for weeks past,
in a quiet sort ot a way, preliminary
work has developed the extent and
richness of the shale territory in ques
tion. Locally, J. A. Barrett is also con
nected with the enterprise. In a broad
sense the Dead Indian country will be
the scene of this new industry, the
head of Antelope valley, near Grizzly
Peak, being the specific locality. Al
ready appearances Indicate that the
eastern exposure of Grizzly will be
Btripped, baring the rock for develop
ment on a colossal scale. The Hart
mans are patentees of a retort which
is' said to be a marvel of inventive
genius in the way of extracting oil
frbm tlje shale. The by-products are
al Bo of importance, including fire clay
and lampblack, while the gas generat
ed will be of sufficient volume to pro
duce a commercial revenue.
J. E. Jones, local painter reading on

holiday, a barbecue to be one of the
leading attractions, supplemented with
games, dancing, and athletic sports.
