this time compressed air gives promise
of solving the problem. The air Is piped
from the air compressor too well known

the bottom by Ujoint. though IN some
cases two or three pipes are connected
one at the bottom OF the tubing. one at
about three-duarters distance down ana
one about one-half the distance. In start

on together until the column of OIL Is

I2O pounds pressure in an s50-foot well,

thing above the connections is carried out
of the tubing and the deeper they are
submerged the better the results. In this
way the sand. which has been the source
of so much trouble, is not allowed To ac-
cumulate, but is carried out with the oil,
and by gradually lowering the tubing the
well is cleared OF whatever sand may
have accumulated In it. In one instance

New Oil Well Pumps.

One OF the latest and most novel uses
TO which compressed air has been put is
the pumping OF oil wells. California has
oil fields through it's entire length, but
of these what is known as the Bakers

the middle Of the state. is head and
shoulders above all others both as to
present production and possible develop
ments I'm this district the formation lies
almost horiZantal and with the eXcep-
tion of a sticky clay and heaving sand.
Is just hard enough TO drill apldly, but
the heaving sand has been 80 difficult TO
overcome that In many cases wells that,
from their surroundings, were absolutely
sure of OIL have. after months of con
stant effort. been abandoned on account
Of the heaving sand. IL certainly requires
courage and persistence in the drillers.
