AUTO ACCIDENTS WITH BAD RESULTS Local People Victims of Collisions on State Highway With Serious Consequences Three automobile accidents took place within three-quarters of a mile of each other on the West Chapman street road between Santa Ana and Anaheim a few days ago. J. C. Carter of Los Angeles was injured when his machine collided with another machine driven by J. W. Bigham of Anaheim. Lester Brooks of Placentia sustained a broken knee cap and minor lacerations when his motocycle collided with an automobile at the end of North Main in Santa Ana. I. N. Barnett and John Richards, both of Orange, escaped injury when the automobile in which they were riding skidded at the county hospital turn, and turned over on its side. The injury to Brooks occurred when he and Burt Moss, also of Placentia, were thrown from Brooks' motorcycle in running into an automobile approaching from the opposite direction. Both motorcycle and auto were endeavoring to pass a heavy grain and hay wagon which was also making the turn. Both the automobile and the wagon were turning west on to Chapman off of Main stree in Santa Ana. Brooks' knee cap was fractured and he sustained several cuts about the body. Frank C. Thompson of Garden Grove, coming up just at the time took Brooks to the Anaheim Sanitation, where an X-ray examination of the injury was made. It was decided to forego an operation until about two weeks. Both Brooks and Moss are employed by the St. Helena Potroleum company in large on the Anaheim Union Wealth that attended to the great increase in field activities stimulated by the high prices which prevailed in 1913 and in the early part of 1914. The spectacular results of deeper drilling in the Mid Continent and Gulf regions; the development of a number of prolific pools in Oklahoma, northern Texas and northwestern Louisiana, in areas little tested at the end of 1913; the successful extension of many proved districts in the Appalachian and mid-continent regions; the discovery of new productive fields and the increased development of the oil fields in Wyoming; and the large number of guashers corpleted in California comprise in brief the principal formia comprise in brief the principal factors contributing to the production in 1914.

Both Brooks and Moss are employed by the St. Helena Potroleum company on its lease on the Anaheim Union Water Company's property near Placentia. A Warren Detroit automobile in which I. N. Barnett and John F. Richards, of Orange were riding, skidded on the turn at the county hospital, and turned over on its side. The two men were thrown clear, and were not injured. The machine, with Barnett driving, was making the turn to the north going from Orange. The pavement was slippery from a light sprinkling of rain. The auto began to skid, and turned end for end, then went off the road into the ditch, stopping upon its side. People from the county hospital and farm went to the place, and aided the men in righting their car, which was little damaged. The fenders on one side were smashed, and one rear tire was jerked half-way off. Repairs were made and the car ran back to Orange on its own power. While the accident was a fortunate one in that no one was hurt, the escape was a narrow one. The automobile missed a telephone pole by not over a foot. Had it been struck the occupants of the machine might have been thrown against it and killed. The Anaheim City Band was out on parade Thursday evening, playing for a local talent show in town. The boys under the expert tutelage of Walter Crowther, are making great headway and easily take rank with the best musical organization in the state. The members are all bright young men and take personal pride in making the band one of which the city may well feel proud.

Toward the end of the year the firmer tendency of the market resulted in a slight increase in field activity. California During 1914, as in the previous year the greatest development centered in the Sunset-Midway region, where a number of large flowing wells were completed, for the most part in the Buena Vista hills and Maricopa Flat areas. The most spectacular of these wells was that of the Lakeview No. 2 Oil Co. in Maricopa flat, which ran wild from May 10 to October 25, the estimated daily flow reaching at times as much as 50,000 barrels. At first the well produced practically pure oil, but water eventually broke in, and during the last few weeks the production was over 60 per cent emulsion. In the north end of the Midway field relatively shallow wells penetrated unusually thick oil sands and during the year this section of the field was closely drilled. In the southern fields the drilling of deep wells continued in the Coyote Hills, south of Los Angeles, and a number of flowing wells were completed. The Shell Co., which entered California late in 1913, completed a tank farm in the North Midway field and commenced work on a pipe line between Coaliga and San Francisco Bay. In the later part of the year operations were greatly curtailed, owing to the lack of a market resulting from the European war, and at the close of the year only one or two companies were continuing new work in the Sunset-Midway field.

Geological Survey. California Leads The phenomenal increase which has characterized the growth of the petroleum industry in the United States during the past 8 years was more than maintained in 1914. The amount of petroleum produced in the last 12 months approximated 292,000,000 barrels, according to estimates of John D. Northdop of the United States Geological Survey. These preliminary figures indicate an increase of more than 13 per cent over the production in 1913, which reached the record-breaking total of 248,446,230 barrels. The enormous output in 1914 may be attributed to the remarkable success from the European war, and at the close of the year only one or two companies were continuing new work in the Sunset-Midway field. Other States In Washington experimental drilling was continued at a number of places in the Quenluit reservation and in the Olympic region, without encouraging results. Tests in Oregon, New Mexico, North Dakota, Missouri, Michigan, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Maryland, and New Jersey likewise failed to justify the hopes of the drilling companies. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH IN SANDPIT Max Struck of Orange Extricated from Perilous Position—Caving In of Cesspool Cause Covered up by caving sand in the bottom of a cesspool was the experience of Max Struck, son of Supervisor Fred Struck of Orange recently. The accident, fortunately, resulted in no injury to the young man, though he was in the slide for an hour and a half before being extricated. Digging in very sandy soil, young Struck and two others had gone to a depth of 10 or 12 feet. Max was in the bottom of the pit when the side caved in, completely covering him up. His companions set desperately to work and soon had his head uncovered. He was still conscious and the coolest one in the party. Great care had to be observed in digging the sand away, as it caved in on slight provocation. Several times they had him uncovered to the waist when another slide would again fill the hole up around his neck. Dr. Domann was called hurriedly to attend him; but, when removed from the pit, he was found to have no injuries of any consequence. His father, arrived in time to assist in getting him free.

The secretary's financial report covering the six months ending December 31, 1914, was so satisfactory a nature that the dividend was made 5 per cent and a balance was carried over as a surplus. The surplus, added to the capital stock, now constitutes an asset of over $100,000. It was the eighteenth dividend paid to shareholders since 1907, and made a total in that time of $35,000. The volume of business of the milling company, as shown by the secretary's report, has steadily increased. It was decided to build an additional concrete warehouse for storing flour, in which will be provided a modern office and director's room. A committee was appointed to arrange for the boring of a larger well to supply a domestic water system for the Olive district. The system will include new mains, a reservoir and electric pump. The enterprise promises much for the prosperity and growth of Olive and demonstrates the value of an aggressive industry to a community when that industry has the support of the public as has the Olive Milling company. The following well-known citizens comprise the officers and directors: D. C. Pixley, president; R. J. Blee, vice president; F. A. Blake, secretary; P. W. Ehlen, N. T. Edwards.

The estimated zinc output of the state in 1914 was 2,107,000 pounds against 1,057,485 pounds in 1913, an increase of 1,050,000 pounds. Usually the entire zinc output of the state has been derived from Inyo county, but in 1914 by far the larger portion came from Shasta county, from a property heretofore considered a copper mine only. WITNESSES JAILED FOR FORGETTING Two of the Witnesses May Fae Perjury Charges Walter DeHetre and "Doc" Washburn of Huntington Beach, charged with being officiers in charge of the Del Mar Social and Literary Association of that city, where a large amount of liquor was seized, September 19th of last year have been haled into court. Some startling developments have taken place in the case, and Thursday night, four of the witnesses, who testified in the case were in jail and there were rumors that warrants based on a perjury charge would probably be issued, one of the witnesses being a well-known business man of that city, who bears a splendid reputation with those who know him. Judge Thomas said, "Some of these witnesses, with their convenient memories, have either committed perjury or have come very close to it." The witnesses referred to answered most questions asked them by saying, "I don't remember," and they were sent to jail until their memories returned. The witnesses who may be prosecuted for perjury both declared that their names on the book taken from the HAS WORKED ITSELF OUT "It is well that the new democratic tariff should be given an opportunity to work itself out for a number of years."—Biddeford (Me.) Record." The Underwood free trade tariff had pretty well "worked itself out" in the first ten months of its operation. It had enormously increased the kind of imports that put American labor and industry out of business, and it had so cut down our exports as to wipe out the favorable trade balances and run us still more heavily into debt to foreigners. Just then the European war happened. It checked the inflow of competitive imports and increased the outflow of exports. Indirectly it restored protection to some extent. The big war did this, not the Underwood free trade tariff. That tariff has indeed worked itself out. It stands discredited and condemned. Let us all be thankful that the European war came in time to stop any further working out of the worst tariff law ever enacted."—American Economist.

CALIFORNIA METAL PRODUCTION IN 1914 Figures of United States Geological Survey Show Increased Output California mines show an increased output in gold, silver, lead, and zinc and a great decrease in copper in 1914 compared with 1913, according to preliminary figures compiled by Charles G. Yale, of the United States Geological Survey. The mine figures for 1913 were $20,400,958 in gold and 1,378,399 ounces of silver; the estimates for 1914 indicate an output of $21,138,500 in gold and 1,987,700 ounces of silver, an increase of $731,500 in gold and 609,300 fine ounces of silver. California remains the premier gold producing state of the country. There are about 800 producing mines in the state, of which approximately half are deep mines and half placers of various kinds. The capacity of the milling plants is about 2,000,000 tons a year, with an average value in gold and silver of $5.61 a ton, and in all metals of $5.68. In addition, copper, lead and zinc ores to the quantity of about 500,000 tons are smelted. Amador county is the largest producer of gold ores, followed in order by Calaveras, Nevada and Tuolumne. In placer mining operations the dredging industry is by far the most important in the production of gold, producing about 40 per cent of the total gold yield of the state and about 92 per cent of the placer gold output. The principal gold dredging fields of the state are at Oroville, Butte County; Folsom, Sacramento county; and Maryaville, Yuba county, but dredges are also producing in Calaveras, Merced, Siskiyou, Stanislaus, Placer and Trinity counties. A few new machines have been built and much prospecting of dredging ground has been in progress. In some of the older dredging fields there has been a natural falling off in gold product, owing to exhaustion of the ground; but little general reduction of yield in the industry has been apparent in 1914. The hydraulic placers of the State, formerly so important in gold yield, now produce only about 3.73 per cent of the total; the drift mines, 2.18 per cent; The witnesses who may be prosecuted for perjury both declared that their names on the book taken from the club house were forgeries, notwithstanding the fact that those who examined their signatures written in court decided otherwise. Should any of these witnesses be prosecuted for perjury it is evident that the one who has coached them will in all probability be involved, as it is safe to assume that some of them will tell all they know before landing in the penitentiary. Several cases of bottled beer besides numerous flasks of whiskey, taken in the raid, were offered as evidence. The case attracted considerable comment throughout that section. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME GOES TO FULLERTON Game Played Friday—Fullerton Players Heavier Than Home Boys Friday afternoon saw the conclusion of a long drawn out basketball series. It was at Anaheim that the Fullerton high school team met the Huntington Beach high school team in the closest and most interesting game seen in this county in several years. Hardly had the game begun when it started to rain and kept it up until the close of the contest. This greatly hindered the playing of both teams, as the ground was very slippery, making it almost impossible for the lighter Huntington Beach men to guard their heavier opponents. In spite of this fact, the Huntington Beach team was four points to the good at the close of the first half. Both teams opened the second half with a rush, but Fullerton took the load. During the second half the score was tied almost continually. When the whistle blew to end the game the score was again tied, necessitating the playing off of the tie to decide the winner. During the first few minutes the Huntington Beach team had two tries at the basket, but missed; then Fullerton secured a try and converted it. Thus ended the series of 1914-15. On the whole Placer and Trinity counties. A few new machines have been built and much prospecting of dredging ground has been in progress. In some of the older dredging fields there has been a natural falling off in gold product, owing to exhaustion of the ground; but little general reduction of yield in the industry has been apparent in 1914. The hydraulic placers of the State, formerly so important in gold yield, now produce only about 3.78 per cent of the total; the drift mines, 2.18 per cent; and the surface or sluicing mines, 2.53 per cent. During the last four or five months of 1914, owing to the "hard times" a distinct revival of it interest in gold mining has been shown, and this accounts, to a great extent, for the increase in yield. Some old workings which have been considered as worked out 40, 50, or 60 years ago have been made to produce small quantities of gold. Hundreds of small miners, rockermen and sluccers have gone into abandoned diggings and managed to make a living. The silver output shows an estimated total yield of 1,987,700 ounces compared with 1,378,399 ounces in 1913, a gain of 609,300 ounces for 1914. This is derived mainly from smelting copper, lead and zinc ores, although some silver is obtained in the mining of gold, both quartz and placer. Notwithstanding the condition of the copper market, during the later months of the year, the copper yield appears to have fallen off only about 560,000 pounds in 1914, campared with 1913. The estimated yield for 1914 was 34,000,000 pounds, most of which came, as usual, from Shasta county. The large smelters of the Bully Hill and Balaklala Copper companies remained idle during 1914. The smelting plant of the Mountain Copper Co. was closed entirely in September owing to market conditions. The mine output of lead in 1913 Both teams opened the second half with a rush, but Fullerton took the lead. During the second half the score was tied almost continually. When the whistle blew to end the game the score was again tied, necessitating the playing off of the tie to decide the winner. During the first few minutes the Huntington Beach team had two tries at the basket, but missed; then Fullerton secured a try and converted it. Thus ended the series of 1914-15. On the whole, the teams were very badly matched as to shooting baskets, but the locals were greatly outweighed, which put them at a decided disadvantage on a slippery field. Paul Helme was unable to play in the game and Miller substituted for Arnold in the second half. The final score was 25 to 28 in favor of Fullerton. The line up was as follows: H. B. Fullerton J.

KIDD'S TREASURE In Danville, Pa., two men, in digging fern roots on an island below that town, unearthed an iron box incrusted with rust, and having every appearance of having lain there for many years. On breaking open the box it was found to contain silver coins worth $17,000. The coins were of Mexican and Spanish coinage. The find has revived old traditions of the island having been a hiding place frequented by Captain Kidd. Mr. and Mrs. R.

DARING AUTOMOBILE HIGHWAYMEN ARE BUSY Stop Machines and Relieve Passengers Of Money and Valuables and Make Their Getaway Two daring holdups occurred on Saturday night, one on the La Habra road and the other on the road leading into Pasadena. In each case the holdups used an automobile and their victims were passengers in passing autos. The highwaymen were evidently the same in both cases. The victims reported the robberies to the Los Angeles police, and further stated that the number on the car was 98360, evidently an old 1914 registration. The Los Angeles police upon investigation learned that the 1915 license of that number belonged to H. F. Ashley of this city, and telephoned the information to the Anaheim officers, who investigated the case. Mr. Ashley and family at the time of the holdups as reported were visiting with relatives at Torrance, and, of course, had no part in the matter. It is said by the officers that the robbers used an old 1914 number upon their car and that it so happened to cor-respond to the new license number held by Mr. Ashley. William Boyd of Los Angeles was in town Friday on a short trip. It has been seven years since "Billy" visited here and he noted many changes. Favorite Saloon L. Wisser, Mgr.
