The Recorder of the San Fernando
Oil District writes to friend in this
city that of one of the wells is now

over 800. This settles the matter
about the quality of oil and the ulti'
mate success of the companies al
work in the district. The company
now boring on the Temple claim
could pump four barrels per day, anC
feel confident that they will get a
hundred barrel well before reaching
the depth of 800 feet.
