OIL SUPPLANTS
COAL AS FUEL
Many Big Local Con-
Germs Now Burn Cali
fornia Petroleum.
Outlook for Growth Of New
Industry Decidedly
Encouraging.

In q list Just compiled by Secretary Q.
7. Deane of the California Petroleum
Miners Association the firms and oom-
panies that are burning California petro-
leum for fuel In this city are named. If
there were no other literature relating to
the oil industry at this time, this list
would show to what extent coal is being
superseded for the making Of power In San
Francisco. Incidentally the Endorsement
Of these many responsible concerns sup
plies an excellent guarantee for the
growth and permanency of the industry
when the obstacles that are due to a
greater supply than demand and the de-
moralization In prices caused by haste to
market at any rates for ready money are
overcome.
In Secretary Deane's list are all the
San Francisco parties who have been
granted permission between May %, 1899,
and November Is, 1901, to handle oil fuel
In this city. Railway companies, manu-
featuring plants and many leading enter
prises not before mentioned are now US
ing oil fuel in preference to coal. Cheap
ness and convenience and neatness are
the incentives for making the change in
the fuel used. The complete list is as
follows:

This makes a very good showing for
NIT to use oil fuel in this city was grant
eo, Tor there are represented 126 of the
leading enterprises of San Francisco,
practically all the street railways and iii
the great manufacturing plants, with
many of less size. When oil reaches the
price of 81 per barrel delivered, it will
its own. as a fuel, while it will give the
stockholders in the oil companies some
dividends on their investments
The Mining and Engineering Review
says that there are only two Texas oil
companies whose stock is above par, but
there are thirteen in California.
According to the Bakersfield Califor-
nian, the shipments from the Kern Coun-
ty fields in November amounted to 1894
carloads.
