BANKER WHO SEEMS OUT OF PLACE AT PRESENT DAY. Lmm on Thousands of Acroc Obtained Hss a "Cinch and Doesn't Demand and Drilling Riga Now on His Pound of Flesh Verbal tha Way. Lease Good. What was foreshadowed In these columns leas than two weeks ago on the subject of a gigantic oil enterprise between Ogden and Salt Lake has Anally taken definite shape. It was then stated that competent eastern oil ex perts had been gathering in oil lands In the vicinity of Centerville and Farmington. Many years ago the Doxie-Wedrillers who sank for natand found it, might have ural gas had found oil, they gone deep enough; at least so the experts, who have examined the fields mentioned, say. These experts have, during the past few months, secured options and leases on some SO, 000 acres of land and It is now authoritatively stated that the parties really behind the enterprise oil operators, are the Messrs. Guffey and Galley of Pittsburg, Fa., who have operated with such signal success In southern Texas and whose judgment in oil lands is considered of the best. It is stated that all the necessary lands have been secured by bond and lease. With the arrangements made by the projectors and the owners of these lands, which lie south of Ogden, there is to be an equitable adjustment between the lessors and the landowners who own land contagious to the leases obtained, by which they will get a small percentage of the output In view of the fact that two carloads of machinery are already on the way over the Union Pacific it is quite probable that drilling will begin very soon. It is said that 8. V. Shelp has been the main factor in obtaining the leases. Experimental wells are to be sunk and if oil and gas are found as is confidently expected, it will mean much to Ogden and Salt Lake. It is reported that in addition to the firm of Guffey & Galley, Jennings Bros, of Pittsburg also millionaire oil developers have men in the field, with a view of investst well-kno- ing some money. It is said that there are many places between Hot Springs and Corinne where gas can be lit on the surface of the ground, and in some places oil has also been found. The Reeves brothers, well-knoin Salt Lake and J. A. Kuykendall, who have been investigating oil for several years, succeeded in interesting Chas. A. Walker of Salt Lake, who persuaded Mr. Towel of the Standard Oil company to come 'and examine the land in 1901.' After looking the ground over carefully he made a favorable report, but inasmuch as the Standard people are not developers of prospects, nothing was done. The Reeves-Kuykendparty have secured some 7,000 acres of land, which goes into the deal above mentioned. The syndicate representing Guffey St Galley in Salt Lake are said to be S. V. Shelp, Charles K. Rowland, Charles A. Walker, P. 8. Keogh, T. J. Anderson and Robert & C. Wilson; .8. V. Shelp acting as trustee. all A story conn's from Montana, which is of such mi unusual character in these hard and grasping days, that it makes one feel good to read it. The liutte Miner is authority for it. It seems that when the late ('.gorge II. Tong died u few years ago he left his widow an estate which consisted mostly of real estate and mining property, all of which was mortaged to the State Savings bank, with the chances for paying it very remote, if not hopeless About two years ago C. Y. Ellings-wooa miner who had had his ups and downs asked for a lease on it. The State Savings bank, through T. M. Hodgens and with the consent of Mrs Tong, gave a lease on the "Goldsmith claim, one of the properties embraced in the estate, Ellingwood agreeing to pay 50 per cent royalty. The lease was only verbal and .without any time limit, and might have been terminated at any time. Mr. Ellingwood struggled away at in all directions and it, there were times when he could not meet his payroll when it was due. However, his men stuck to him and for nearly two years Ellingwood groaned and struggled and kept at work. About two months ago he was rewarded by striking seven or eight feet of rich silver and ore, said to be as good as anything ever found in Butte. Since then he has been sfop-ln- g from the level upward and employing sixty men and making a profit of $1,000 per day. A few days ago Mr. Hodgens of the She had bank, sent to Mrs Tong. heard that the mine was doing well and expected that the banker would Inform her that she had a few hundred dollars coming to her which would, of course, be applied on account of the mortgage Indebtedness She went and saw him and found Mr. Ellingwood present "I wish to notify you," said Mr. Hodgens to Mrs Tong, that we have this month placed to your credit $22,000 fifom the Goldsmith mine up to date. Tou may draw upon it for any amount you may wish. The lady was nearly overcome at thla stroke of good fortune. Nothing was said about applying the amount on the debt but of course, Mrs Tong wanted it so applied. Mr. Ellingwood whose verbal lease might might have been terminated then and there, was Informed that inasmuch aa he had applied so much time and money in prospecting the property, and had been the means of retrieving her fortunes could have a lease on it as long as he wanted it , The banker was in no hurry for his money, knowing that the ore in sight would not only pay off the debt but leave Mrs Tong a comfortable fortune and the property as well. There was a Joyful gathering there in the bank room of that bank, and it waa a tiard matter to tell which of the three Christfelt the happier. The ian spirit displayed in this little transaction is a reminder of what we used to read about when we were young, but Is so infrequently met with in these "practical days as to seem almost Incredible. , d, cross-cutti- ng 150-fo- ot old-ti- THE LATE MRS.
