Drilling was commenced in the Far

Considerable discussion might hare

Standard Oil Company Soon to
Be Heard From

Movements in oil begin to be little
more brisk since the exchange has taken
TO shipping it to San Francisco. Several
consignments have already been sent
north and others will follow as quickly
as orders come in. This move on the
part of the exchange is merely for the
purpose OF giving immediate relief to
producers and partly to meet the demand
from northern consumers. The exchange
committee now in San Francisco IS
actively engaged in laying the foundation
for future operations in that market.
Reports of their success come from time
to time, and wide market is assured
for Los Angeles petroleum whenever sui
ficient means of transportation nave been
secured.

of preparing for the rapidly increasing
amount Of oil at the wells. Material is now
on the way from the east for several large
storage tanks which will be erected at
some convenient point near the railroads.
All OF this is temporary, the plans for
y pipe line and water tansportation still
being the great object for which the C Dr.
poration is striving.
Those who are interested in the comm q
of the Standard Oil company will, in all
probability. learn something OF interest
within the next few days.

IN FAVOR OF THE JETTY
Senator Whites Views Regarding the

As nember Of the Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee He Will Work for the Jetty
at San Diego Harbor

San Diego Union: Senator Stephen NJ.
White, when he is not engaged in the
case of Kelly VS.. Harvey, on trial before
Judge Torrance, Is enjoying himself to
the utmost at Hotel del Coronado, and
regrets that he cannot remain for an ex-
tended visit.
''feople who have not been to San
Diego" he remarked yesterday, "hava
somehow got the idea that it is hot down
here, when the fact is that San Diego is
the incest place know of anywhere so
far as climate is concerned. And Coro-
nado-thers's no spot so delightful as
that. 1 would like to stay there long
time. The summer climate of San Diego

the pleasure of doing something in ald OF
the enterprise, and shall continue my
efforts in that direction II good appro-
priatiou could be secured, sufhclent to
complete the jetty out to a total length OF
1000 feet, the work could be completed
for one-fourth less than it will eventually
cost if only small appropriations are
made.
"Unfortunately, however, it is the
rolicy of the government, and poor one

thereby make public improvements of

much of it here. Why, they talked

Yes; it is com parative merely. They
know nothing about poverty such as we
see it in the east. They have been ac-
custome1 to having the earth, now they
have only half of it. and they com plain.

Just as fine as any state in the union.

He Is Impressed

San Diego Union: Hon. James Nc
Laohian of Pasad sna, congressman from
the Sixth district of California, who
came down to inspect the jetty with
Senator White. returned home yesterday
afternoon. II have been immensely
impressed with San Diego generally,
he said to Union representative yester-
day. ~ was here about six years ago.
and the improvement since then has been
wonderful. You know we think up in
Los Angeles that we have pretty good
climate there, but the fact is that San
Diego excels the world in that respect.
1t is exceedingly delightful here.
Concerning the jetty, Congressman Nc
Lachlan said tnat he was glad of the op-
portunity to examine the work so far as
it had progressed. From all that Con-
gress nan Bowers and Senator White have
told me, ! believe the jetty has already
been productive of much good to the
harbor entrance, and it should be pushed
to completion. Certainly, | shall do all
in my power to assist in ge.tinga an appro-
pria tion from congress, and | think it
should be large enough to complete the
work. Whatever Mr.. Bowers wants in
tho matter will be my guide.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD.
Dohney d Common are having an exca-
walton made for another well on Metcalf
street, south of temple.
Haigbt e Webster's well on Figueroa
street is now down $50 feet, with every
indication of being near the sand.
Yesterday the pump was being pulled
from the Nelson spouter and the gas
kept up constant rumb bling as though
about to renew its gushing.
The drill in the Gibbs well has passed
through so feet of sand, bearing some
Oil but not sufficient quantity to warrant
the putting in of pump. The hole is
730 feet deep, ana it is the intention
to go down to the second sand. Gas is
very abundant.
Preparations are being made for the
Davidson well No. 3, to be drilled on the
lot Immediately below his famous
spouter.
Dryden has struck bonanza on his
lot near Lakeshore avenue in the form OF
gusher This we'll was taken down
through the lower sand to depth OF 925
feet ana as re ult heavy flow OF oil
was found, accompanied by such guam
titles of gas that the oil is forced out over
the top of the casing. Mr.. Dryden is
trying to go down still deeper, but will
proba Dly not progress much farther.
new derrick is in process of construc-
tion on lockwood avenue, where the
Phoenix Oil company will soon pegin a
new we'll.
Somes, Cullen e. Co. are preparing to
deepen one Of their wells on Rock wood
avenue. ss= s=
| Oil was reached in Nelson No at 80
feet. The drill is new thirty feet in and
gas comes up in such volume that the
| drillers expect to make the new we'll as
successful as the first one.

has been connected with the pump and
is turning out good yield.
| James Poweli's new we'll on Victor
street gives every indication of being 9

day, and although large stream was
pumped, scarcely any impression was
made on the 800 feet of OIL in the tubing

these matters, is particularly severe on
unfinished structures of this kind, and in

fortunate that the government pursues
such policy. The engineers have told
me that this jetty is decided success as
far as 1T has been constructed, and they
realize the importance of carrying it to
completion. But they have been in.
structed by the war department to recom-
mend no appropriations, and this is an~
other obstacle in the why. However,
