The 14-m radiotelescope at the Centro Astronomico de Yebes was used to search, from August 1986 to February 1988, for v = 3, J = 1-0 SiO maser line from numerous long-period variables, including 31 Mira variables, six supergiants, one semiregular, and one IR object. This maser line was detected in six new emitters, including RR Aql, V Cam, R Cas, microCep, U Her, and R LMi, as well as in seven that were previously reported. The SiO line was monitored for one and a half year in three sources, and the degree of linear polarization of the emission was estimated in two stars. The results of these observations indicate that the v = 3 line is about 35 times weaker in peak flux, 65 times weaker in profile area, and significantly narrower than the v = 1,2 lines. On the other hand, the variability and the degree of polarization are similar in these three lines. These results are compatible with the SiO masers being located in the circumstellar envelope.
