Yalue Of an Oil Wen.

The value of an oil we'll is supposed
to be about three times its net earning
power in one year. The earning pow
er of a well is about two barrels less
than it's output, the value of the oil to
be measured on the ground. Thus the
earning power of a 40-barrel we'll, pro-
ducing 800 days in a year and with the
product selling at 81 per barrel would
be $13, $50, making the well worth $4l, =
O4O. On the general basis of one well
to the acre, the producing value of
100 acres of similar territory would
rise to the enormous sum of $6, 566, 400.
But enormous though it be it is not a
fanciful eXaggeration., In May, 1899,
section 80, 1928, in the Kern river
field, was located under the placer
mining law, at a cost not exceeding 10
cents per acre, or $64 for $40 acres.
The sum of 81, 500, 900 is a more recent
valuation of the same property. The
original cost of the locations con-
tro11ed by the Reed Crude Oil Com
pany in the same field did not exceed
$3.50. The present value of these
lands, including the improvements, is
said to be fully So, 800, 00O.-Pacific Oil

DOINGS IN TIE OIL FIELD.
Three Wells Nearing Completion and
Two Others Under HeadwaY.

During the past week but very little
has developed in the oil field owing
to mishaps to the machinery and de-
lays in the shipment of screens and
other necessary Announcements. How
ever, activity began anew Wednes-
day and since that time the town has
been rapidly filling up with prominent
men who are watching the progress of
the work in the Welsh oil field with a
view to nvesting, and those who have
extensive holdings here. The future
of the Welsh field depends largely on
developments of the next few d avs, as
three wells are now nearing compile
ton.
Tuesday noon, after Il delay of q
week or ten days, the screens for the
Denver Beaumont we'll arrived from
Beaumont. Wednesday was devoted
to putting down the screen and get
ting everything in readiness for bail
ing. Shortly before noon yesterday
the bailing process began. The strata
now being developed is the first below
the cap rock, but Driller Bowen con-
fdently expects to bring in a we'll, and
the opinions of those who were in the
field yesterday coincide with that of
Mr.. Bowen'S. LATER. Before going
to press news reached town that an
accident had occurred to the screen
rendering it useless. Another screen
is necessary before work can continue
The pipe that became fastened in the
Southern Pacific we'll and caused a
delay of nearly a week, was removed
Tuesday and J. w. Champion re-
sumed operations Wednesday. The
cap rock has been reached in this we'll
and it will require only few days to
penetrate the oil strata. The screen
for this well is already on the ground
and, barring mishaps to the machin-
cry, this will in all probability be a
completed we'll before our next issue.
S. w. Clay, who has charge of the
drilling of the Southwestern well, has
been shut down several days awaiting
Mr.. Clay has penetrated the
cap rock and, as he has the screening,
expects to set his siX-inch casing With
in day or two and complete the well.

Speaks FarorabIy of Welsh.

Jos. Espalla, Jr., who is largely

out the following statement to the

last Friday:
- We. expect to bring in a gusher at
Welsh during next week, and will re-
turn there in time to witness its start, "
said Joseph E. Espalla, Jr., of Mobile
Friday. Mr.. Espalla had arrived from
Welsh during the morning and was
on his way to Mobile, where he will
take part in the campaign being con-
Quoted by John Craft for the Mayor
atty Mr.. Espalla was accompanied
by NJ. A. Quina of Pensacola, presi-
dent of the Southwestern Oil Company.
The Southwestern is the company
that expects the gusher: 1--WE have
been looking for this gusher for the
past week, but matters were delayed
some, and have only at last reached
really definite stage. Work on the re-
finery, which we will erect at Welsh,
will begin shortly, and within few
weeks will be we'll advanced. It's COM
pletion will be expedited as much as
possible.
eve are preparing to begin the
work of sinking a we'll in the Jennings
field. Although we have had holdings
there for o long time, we have not
made any effort to drive the well, but
this we have at last decided upon. The

tract are the best in the entire field,

Young Wife Died of Grief.

Mrs. Lastie Augustine, wife of the
young man who was killed by J. B..
Marcantel at wedding twelve miles
north of Welsh on December 16, died
Sunday Of grief. 1t is said the young
wife fell in a swoon on the PROSTATE
form of her husband soon after the
murder was committed, and upon
learning that there was no hope for
his recovery, begged that she, too,
might meet a similar fate. Since that
time her grief has been most pathetic
and Sunday, after repeated convul-
sions, 1apsed into Inconsistencies
and died.

division thatwas recently blown down,

for this well was shipped from Jen-

tract, but the boring will be in charge
of Cy Bell, a successful operator in
both the Beaumont and Jennings fields.
The Metropolitan Oil company has.
let the contract for storage tanks and
will begin soon on it's holdings in the

being rapidly pushed to completion.
This mammoth reservoir viii have
capacity of 10000 barrels.
J. c. Walker, of Beaumont, has
been awarded the contract by the
Southwestern and Metropolitan oil
companies for the building of two big
