pears not to be confined to any particular
part OF the field. but is found at both
extremes. The Nelson well at the west
ern end of the territory has cen the
mott productive of gas of any yet opened.
Last week the we'll flowed constantly,
averaging, by actual measurement. over
500 barrels of oil daily. In tue Powell l
well, located at the other end OF the
field, gas has appeared from the start,
causing the oil to spout freely. AS yet
no systematic work has been done 10 util-
ize the force of gas in making wells flow.
Packing is unknown in the Los An geles
field, but it is probable that 1t will be
resorted to as better methods succeed the
crude ones usually adopted at the Begin
ming of any industry.
OF late the increased drilling and pump
ing throughout the entire oil region as
stirred up the gas from below. so that
wells heretofore worked by pumping have
begun 10 flow incessantly. No attempt
has been made to estimate the amount OF
natural gas that goes to waste every day,
but it would, no doubt, figure up to
considerable amount
Some use has been III ade of it for light
ing purposes. and occasionally the sup"
ply from well was utilized In running
the engine. \ large pumping plant was
recently built which used gas entirely as
a motor power.
The marked Increase in the flow of gas
during the late activity in drilling led to
an investigation on the part of capital
lists who are interested in forming
company for furnishing light end fuel to
the CITY. There can be no doubt that as
the oil industry becomes better estab-
lshed and more improved methods are
employed IN its production, the great
waste now prevalent will become thing
of the past, and this locality will be en-
riched by the addition of another re-
source from its gas supply.

Terminal railroad, running between Pasa-
dena and the ocean. petroleum is burned
exclusively. The master mechanic of the
road pronounces it superior to any fuel
that 1t is possible to burn OH a locomo-
tive. One of its most important advant-
ages over coal is that OF cost. Coal costs
the railroad $7.50 on the engine. By Gle So
figuring, furnished by engineers on tho
road, four barrels of oil al the most, will
generate an amount of steam equivalent
to that produced by one ton of coal. at
this rate the company could better afford
t burn oil, even at the price of $1.75 per
barrel. As matter of fact ii can be had
at much lower figure. The actual saw
ing to the company through the use of
the new fuel has been 65 per cent, includ-
ing cost OF changing engines, etc. The
expense of remodeling the burning ap-
paratus on locomotive from coal fur
n'ce to an oil burner Is anywhere from
$500 to $3.50.
This is bat one of the advantages incl
dent to using petroleum in the place of
coal. Engineers say it is much more
easily handled, since it can be pumped
into the receiving tanks Of the tender in
a couple OF minutes without necessitat-
ing any delay. as whom coal has to be
shoveled into the bins.
Oil is safer than coal. There is no pos
sibility of setting out fires along the road
and the expense of clearing strip along
tno WHOic ulSlduCc Vi tlaCh Is luuS ubDt
away with. Then it gives more steady
fire. The burner is automatic, which
practically dispenses with the necessity
of fireman. No cleaning OF furnaces is
necessary, and the labor about the loco
motive is greatly reduced on that ac-
count. 1t requires about an equal amount
of room to store supply of oil as Of coal
but there is never any loss from dropping
the fuel.
hTbe pleasure and convenience of travel
er is materially increased on train
where oil is used. as there are then no
flying elders and ashes, and practically no
smoke.
In the institutions OF this city where
petroleum is used as fuel, the same ad-
vantagcs are claimed for oil. and many
additional ones which are peculiar tt Ger.
tain uses and requirements OF the differ
ent houses. In the Los Angeie: Iron and
Steel Rolling mills oil is employed i'll
melting iron when great degree of heat
is required. This company alone con-
sumes over seventy barrels a day, and
pronounces the fuel superior to anything
for the class of work for which they use
it,
The use of this cheap fuel furnished by
the oil fields uf this city has created
revolution in the industrial development
OF the city. Since the opening OF the oil
wells tie over a year ago, new indus
tries have sprung into existence. Others
that had suspended operations on account
of the high price paid for coal have again
begun their activity, and are now among
the most hourisning in the state. The
want OF q cheap fuel was the drawback
which prevented Los Angeles from be-
coming manufacturing town. but now
that problem has been settled for all
time, and manufacturers are Just begin
ming the era OF an extended growth along
substantial lines.

field has given to the enterprise certain
characteristic not found elseweh-e to any
extent in oil regions. Being inside of
the city, where the land is sabdivided
into small lots, many wells are drilled
within a small space. the derricks stand
ing side by side in close array. There
are, therefore, more wells to the acre in
this field than could be found elsewhere.
This is no doubt a great loss when con-
sldered from an economic standpoint.
1t costs from $500 t, $1,000 to drill II we'll
and equip it for pumping. Where sew
eral wells are put in operation close to
each other. it is apparent that a great loss
follows since one well might just as we'll
pump all OF the oil from a gwen territory
as two or three. The life OF a we'll will
not last as long when there are a number
pumping from the same immediate sup
ply, which is another consi ieration not
yet appreciated by our oil men, from the
fact that no oil wells have yet been en-
hausted.
Nevertheless the present methods can
not be changed, owing to the divided
ownership of property. 1t is only mat
ter of time, however, when this will right
itself. Indeed. there is hope OF It's being
changed in the near future. Large cap
italists have investigated the oil industry
here, and are now convinced that an
unlimit d supply of petroleum exists,
which it is their intent tion to develop.
Arrangements are now being made for
the purchase OF large tracts of land lying
adjacent to the present field, where wells
will be drilled and operated OIL Il large
scale. The question of market and
transportation being now practically set
tied, they are ready to commence sub
stantial and extensive operations which
will soon multiply the output OF oil many
fold.
Even with the present limited field,
and the disadvantageous methods en-
ployed in exploitin: 1t. a rapid increase
in the production of oil will begin at
once, when an outlet is effected for the

A Second Sand Stratum

Three different wells have been ex-
tended through the upper or first sand
to second stratum below. The lower
rock IS found at depth OF from 900 to
$50 feet and appears to be distinct divs-
ion apart from the more shallow sand
1t is Slightly different in formation, and
IS thought to yield anoJber Kind of oil.
The first oil has an asphalt base and is
black in color with gravity of from Il
to 15l$ degrees. The product of the
second sand is of q brownish shade when
it first appears, but afterwards turns to q
dull green. Tests have been made of tina
green oil, and it has been found to be
lighter IN gravity, running from Is to Is.
1t is much thinner in consistency than
the black oil and possesses altogether
different qualities. There is an odor of
kerosene about it, and when poured upon
the ground it will rapidly ignite by the
application Of a match. 1t has been
found impossible TO light the asphalt oil
unless it is heated to a high tenn perature.
Not long ago a fire occurred in the oil
field and tank full OF oil was fired and
the contents emptied into the flames,
without its burning.
Besides the differences already emu
merated the green oil has a lubricatng
quality which is pronounced by experts
10 be of a superior quality. 1t was
thought at first 10 have paratiine base.
hut tie tests thus far given have not
SHOWN such to be the case.
It is, however. a valuable oil, and its
discovery is held TO be one of the most i'm
portant ever made in the field. Other
wells are now being deepeneu with the
! hope of Striking the lower sand, and
drillers of new wells announce their in
tentiun of going down to tie second sand,
| the possibilities OF which have not vet
| been exhausted.
