OIL REMAINS FIRM
Prices Well Maintained and Sales arc Satisfac.
fnrx


Sales of oil at the recently established
rate are reported as good by the ex-
change, several carloads having been dis
posed of at 81 % per barrel. Offers were
yesterday made in the field of $1.0S for
oil in the tanks, which We're refused.
Notwithstanding this 1900 barrels were
transferred by certificate yesterday at
$l:12, the oil being in tanks in the rail-
road yards. The buyers were outside
parties Production is holding it's own
and consumption rapidly increasing.
There was rumor current yesterday
that flowing well had been struck out
in the Cahuenga valley west of the city.
1t is stated to be an old hole which was
cleaned out and deepened with the re-
suit that oil was reached The well is
said to be just along the edge of the foot
hills, but its exact locality was kept a
profound secret
Several business men Of this city head
ed by exMayor Thomas e. Rowan, are
organizing an oil company to be called
the Solano 'Oil company. A lease of
sixty-seven acres adjoining Elysian
park has been obtained and drilling will
soon begin. Indications are said to be
very favorable.
Yesterday bids We're opened at the
Soldiers home on contract calling for
supply of 1000 barrels of oil per month
for term of months. No an
nouncement of the successful bidder has
yet been obtained
Out in the local field considerable ac-
tivity is manifest and drilling is going
on industriously on all sides Ed North
has just finished cleaning out and deep
ening his original well, the Pioneer,
which had dwindled in production to
twenty barrels uer day. The pump was
put in and now seventy barrels day
is the result. 1t is one of the best wells
in the field. The drill is working on his
new well. No. 4, which will be put down
to the second sand Considerable depth
has already been obtained and the hole
is expected to start flow soon.-
