DEL MAR OIL
San Diego Union: w. W. Andrews of
this city, who is interested with 9TH
ers in prospecting for oil at Del Mar.
returned yesterday from visit to that
place. While there he carried on ne
gotiations for the lease of 1000 acres
of land, and also made an investiga-
tion of the oil lands in that section
He has secured the lease on the great
er part of the 1000 acres, and has been
assured that papers for the remainder
will be forwarded to him today.
Should these papers arrive on time the
work of sinking an oil well will begin
in a few days. The land included in
of Del Mar
Mr.. Andrews said that his investiga-
tionS of the soil were highly Satisfac-
tory. The Investigations were made
along the bluffs fronting on the ocean,
which are several hundred feet high.
and in deep ravines which had been
cut by the water. Oil sand was found
in large quantities, and it was highly
co1ored with sediments showing that
oils had been there in past ages.
Strata of calcareous, commonly called
oil rock, and which is the only thing
that will hold oil, were also found. This
rock is generally found in oil sections,
and there are usually three or four
strata or layers together. Four or five
strata were found at Del Mar. A lit
tie asphaltum, which is the base or
Pacific Coast oils, was also discov-
cred,
The dip of the land is to the nortn-
east from the coast. Back two or
three miles into the country the SAND
strata lies nearly level. 1t was seen
that the upper strata of oil had been
carried off and that the lower strata
were at depth of between 2UO ana
600 feet beneath the surface. me
strata were prominent along the bluHs
and back from the coast they were
deeper, showing that the dip is regular
| and permanent, and that there are
| probably basins of oil in that section.
A ten-inch hole will first be drilled

THE TRUE SITUATION.
War Will BE Ended Promptly This
Fall

An army officer at Manila in a pri-
vate letter written under date of Aug
ust 18th has this to say of the situation
at the front:
ANY one would judge from the tenor
of the traitor press of the United
States that the natives down here are
going to keep us fighting for years to
come. The insurgents are credited
with occupying d large section of the
islands, while the American army is
practically besieged at Manila and a
few outlying towns. This is all nom
sense. To be sure. the American
army has not scattered itself over miles
of territory when there are only about
10000 men in active service. You can
put it down as a sure shot that when
the fall campaign opens there will be
nothing but scampering Filipinos be-
tween us and the ocean, and that in
sixty days the war will be over.
There never has been a time in the
history of the campaign of the past
that the Americans have not been able
to take any position held by the in
surgents when it was wanted. The
strongest natural advantage of posi-
ton was not sufficient to stop the
troops. The insurgents do not hold a
single place that cannot be taken in
twenty-four hours after the reinforce
ments arrive.
''The average native is vicious, ir-
responsible and totally untitled for
self-government. There is a small
percentage of the population that is
educated These men are bright and
progressive. but are erratic and quar-
relsome among themselves. No soon
er would leader be chosen among
them than political intrigue and civil
war would follow. There is absolute
ly no hope for the poor classes among
the natives except under an American
protectorate. San Francisco Bulletin.

a Call The Cathedral

On Monday of next week a selection
will be made of a new organ for st.
Matthews P. E. church. Two schemes
will be presented. by rival firms, one
to cost $4,000, and the other to cost
$500. All the present pipes will be
used in the construction Of the new
organ, which will be the handsomest
and most expensive in the State. 1t is
said that there is no organ in Pitts
burg, outside of the Carnegie building,
which will approach the proposed new
organ of st. Matthew's. The organ
will be guaranteed by the builders for
Holy Week, and may be completed be-
fore that time.
There will be other extensive i'm
provements at st. Matthews after the
first of the year, to which brief men
ton has been made heretofore in the

the new chancel and high altar, to be
constructed entirely OF marble, at a
cost which it is said will not fall short
of $40, 900. 1t is also understood that
three memorial windows OF handsome
design are to be placed in the church,
and that all the contemplated improve
ments are expected to be finished by
Faster Sunday.
