SCIENCE ASSOCIATION.
An Interesting Lecture on the Los Angeles
and Sespe OIL Fields.

An Interesting Lecture on the Los Angeles
and sespe OIL Fields.
At the meeting of the Southern Cali
fornia Science association, in the as
sembly room of the chamber of COM
merce, last evening, Mr.. w. L. Watts of
the state mining bureau, who has for
some months been engaged, under the
direction of the state mineralogist, in
investigating the petroleum industry in
the southern part of the state, delivered
an interesting and instructive lecture
on the Los Angeles and Sespe oil fields.
The lecture was illustrated by series
of fine stereopticon views, as well as
diagrams showing the various geologi-
cal formations of the oil-bearing rocks
and the structural conditions under
which petroleum is found in California.
There We're large number of oil men in
attendance, and the speaker was closely
followed from the beginning to the end
of his interesting talk.
After carefully reviewing the geologi-
cal conditions of the local Oil field and
defining it's boundaries, Mr.. Watts said
that so far as developments have shown
the Los Angeles wells derive their oil
from stratum of sand carrying about
10 per cent of oil, that this stratum is
about forty feet thick and has an area
of about 100000 feet This stratum
would contain in round figures about
2,S50.000 barrels of oil. A careful canvass
shows that 1923, 69o barrels, or about one
fourth of the theoretical total was pro-
duced in 1895, and no inconsderable
amount was produced in 1894 Just how
much more of the remaining 100000
barrels could be produced Mr. Watts
was not prepared to say, though wells
will probably continue to produce in
paying quantities for some time to
come. The speaker thought that it
might be worth while trying to discover
oil at a greater depth than has yet been
reached though he admitted that an
examination of the limited outcrops in
dicated no such body of sand as the one
now being penetrated, and it was shown
that in the deeper wells, say over 1000
feet, water had been struck which it
was difficult to keep out of the wells at
that depth in a soft formation. Mr..
Watts said that it did not appear that
the outlook to the west of the present
field was very encouraging, though it
was possible that wells yielding small
amounts of oil might be obtained. To
the eastward the outlook, he said, is a
little better. There are now he said, 339
wells in the Los Angeles district.
After his paper on the Los Angeles
field Mr. Watts gave an interesting re-
view of the Sespe fields, illustrated by
some very fine views.
Previous to the lecture on motion the
name of the association was changed

Sciences. an amendment offered by Pro-
fessor Charles r. Holder that it be

An amendment to the constitution

proposed and went over to the next
meeting, as did also two resolutions,
one that the association adopt an OFF,

NEW YORK, Sept. l9.-The identity

His real name is Edward j. Ivory, and
he is Il saloonlleeper on Lexington ave-
nue., in this city. He is proprietor of
the Municipal hotel, located on One

Lexington avenue.
There are very few people in that part

know him well, but not unfavorably.
In the days before the Raines law he
was "called to the station house" like
many other saloon keepers for viola
tons of the excise law on Sundays, but
otherwise he was a law-abiding citizen
Harry Hyde, who knew Ivory very
well, and who is a well-known business
man, saw Ivory on the deck of the St.

surprise. Ivory stated that he was

AFFAIRS OF TURKEY.
England Has Not Interfered with Any
selfish Motive.


LONDON, Sept. 19.-The foreign office
has given out the following semi-official
note:
1.-The outburst of the continental press
against Great Britain, which is accused
of selfish designs in the east, has aston
ished official circles. Nothing that is
being done or contemplated by the gov.
eminent could give the slightest color
to such assertions. The government
can not hold itself responsible for the
natural horror inevitably inspired i'll
the minds of the public by the atrocities
at Constantinople. The policy of Great
Britain has, however, undergone no
change whatever and the government
is acting in complete aCford with the
other powers, as it has hitherto done.
Nevertheless it is becoming obvious
that the public feeling i'll Great Britain
has been so outraged by the shocking
events in Constantinople that the gov
eminent would never be supported i'll
again siding with the porte. If the
powers can not see their way to adopt
means to cooperate to end the carnage
the only course open to Great Britain is
to stand aside and to hope for more
satisfactory state of affairs"

PREVALENCE OF DIPHTHERIA.

MUNCIE, Ind, Sept, l9.-There is an
epidemic of diphtheria in Delaware
county of no less dangerous type than
that reported in northern and southern
Indiana. In many cases the presence
of the disease has aroused SO much
alarm that with difficulty have the pa
tients had proper attention.
One case is cited where the child died
and the mother was seized, and for days
the husband alone waited upon the sick
woman, the neighbors refusing to assist.
The woman had what is known as black
diphtheria, which is exceedingly viru'
lent. Finally a woman of this city,
we'll known in society and literary cir.
Giles, volunteered her services, and she
ministered to her wants until death re-
lieved her.
Near New Burlington the epidemic is
abating. Yesterday six new cases de-
veloped at Cowan, i'll Monroe township.
Altogether, so cases have been reported
in the county, with Is deaths.
