OIL FIELDS OF CALIFORNIA.

The most suggestive mining develop
ment in the past year, writes the min
inc editor Of the San Francisco
chronicle. is that which has occurred
in the oil fields of California. Al
though mining for petroleum has been
prosecuted in a limited way in Cali
fornia for over thirty years. prospect
ing the oil measures was never earn
estly carried on until within the past
tWclVemonth. Hitherto the field of eX
ploitation was restricted to small
areas in three OF four counties. The
producing wells operated in these con
tractcd fields were regarded more ms
industrial curiosities rather than as
the beginning of a branch of mining
which now promises to ovcrshadow all
others. twenty-five years ago the
total petroleum product of California
a,nGunted to emily 10000 barrels. 1t is
now estimated at 1000 600 barrels,
with the promise OF possibly doubling
the output during the coming year.
THO field OF search ut present ON
braces the ajor part of the state west
Of tie foothills or the Sierra. I'm Kern
county. the measures invade The foot
hills of the range. In almost every
county west of the Sierra Nevada and
ticir southern extension. the Sierra
Madrn. the socnage % oil from the
sha!cs had been long observed with
Indifference until last year, when there
was suddenly awakened through The
rich developments in the Kern county
fields an cagCrnesS on the part Of
petroleum miners to prospect the
ground wherever signs Of the minerals
presence were in evidence.
Thus prospecting for petroleum is
being pushed everywhere along the
line Of the states oil-bcarinG forma-
lions with great earnestneSs. Com
petent authority states that there are
l. $50 productive wells in operation and
nearly 800 prospect wells. Capital
amounting to $34. 900, 900 has thus far
been invested in this branch Of The
mining industry. and the land actually
producing oil is appraised at a v3lIIa =
ton of sI16C00,0G0 \ large proper
ton Of these figures arc the result OF
the past years developments.
It is clearly to hc seen, therefore,
that the assumption Of the approach
ing nre-cminence OF petroleum over all
other mineral products in California is
not altogether visionary. The business
is only III its infancy. If the measures
prove productive in al parts as they
have in those 50 faI explored there
will be scores of productive wells at an
eariy date fCr every one now existing,
and petroleum will then rank easily as
the chief mineral product of Cali
fornia.-American Mining News.
