early nineties. 1t seems queer that
nearly twenty years should lapse be-
tween the profitable development of oil
in the Pico canyon and the exploitation
of the oil measures within the city
limits, and yet so it was.
The first sensational development in
oil exploitation in Los Angeles was the
Susskind "gusher," out near the Second
Street park. Derricks went up like
lightning in pretty much every direc
ton on, near and under the hills. Joe
Bayer and Gen. G. +. A. Last had a
dozen or so of wells on their Second
Street park property, region after
ward exploited by Doheny. The der
ricks crowded into the very heart Of
the most exclusive portion of the city,
in the vicinity of Westlake park.
Development began at the Puente by
William r. Rowland and William Lacy,
the former of whom has made fortune
by the oil of his ancestral acres. Near
Whittier, to Santa F'e Springs and to
Fullerton the fever spread, and great
wealth has been developed and is being
developed in regions that were not sup
posed to possess a drop of the precious
fluid. Angelenos at home and abroad,
like the Dohenys, Chanslors and Can
fields and others, have been the most

mayor, from whom great things were

About the Development the Oil Industry Southern California

hard to associate the smoke funnel
with the orange tree and the oleander,
which here grows to a trees height,
but the conjunction is sure to come,
and 1t is measurably here already.
Petroleum makes an admirable fuel.
Nearly all the great hotels and restau-
rants use it instead of coal. So do our
breweries. 1t Is extensively used for
making steam heat. Many locomotives
on the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe use it. Both of those corporations
have oil fields of their own and are
daily adding to them. The oil is being
put on many city and county roads,
and where the work is properly done
the results are excellent. While we
have seen the exhaustion of imme-
date local measures the field is prac-
tically illimitable.
The Quality of 1t
The base Of our California oil is
asphaltum instead of the paraffin of
the eastern petroleum This of itself
admits of great numbers of by-prod-
ucts, of which asphaltum itself is the
most considerable and valuable. Large
quantities of this are used in making
streets which are much favored by
those who use them. 1t makes excel
lent paints, and asphatum paints are
said to be a good protection from fire.
Printing inks of good quality are made
from California petroleum. Los An
geles should not only profit from the
abundance of her oil supplies, but from
the handling of their by-products.
Manufactures in great varieties are
certain to be incident. of our future.
1t is of course difficult to get reliable
facts concerning the profits of oil ope-
rators in any portion Of California.
Probably our adjoining county of Ven
tura furnished some years ago the most
striking example of what may come
in the way of shekels from an oil well
in Southern California. A well owned
by the Union Oil company, originally
drilled by Hardison 81 Stewart, was
sunk to depth of 200 feet, at a cost
of $4,000. This well made a record of
900, 900 barrels. 1t was drilled as a
wildcat and no oil of Importance was
developed until that depth was reached.
The drill worked rapidly below a depth
of 1000 feet and the work was prosecut-
ed below that depth as an experiment.
When the 27O0-foot level was reached
the drill dropped several feet into a
reservoir of petroleum, and the tools
were forced out by the oil, which flowed
10 the top of the derrick. The well was
capped with difficulty and flowed over
500 barrels day for a long time. 1t
afterward produced forty barrels day
for while. Almost the entire product
OF this well was sold for 81 a barrel.
Not such gushers were the pioneer
wells of the Pico canyon. Their yield
was small, but they showed amazing
staying" qualities. They required to
be pumped, but they responded nobly

twenty years. have not heard from

opportunity for graft which even under

And again things became intolerable.
There is nothing in the world so nm
popular as the things that are good for
us, unless it be the people who insist
upon our having them, and at the en-
suing election the reform mayor and his
commission of culinary theories were
swept from power by an avalanche of
adverse votes that was Overwhelming.
They were succeeded by the Social
Labor party. and 1t was then that the
municipal cookery plant came into its
own as an agent Of tyranny.
THE true democracy knows no privi-
legged classes" the administration
maintained. Then why should John
Jacob Vandergould of upper Fifth av-
enue have better cooking than poor
lsadore Schmitz, the cobbler, of Riv-
ington street? These rich people have
fed too high already. They are getting
arrogant. We will shake up the cap

democracy at last reigned, and through
the efficient labors of the municipal
cookery plant it was reaching all
classes of the people. The aristocrat

They Came Late
1t Is passing strange that the oil
derrick, which is now about to be dis
mantled, to the perfecting of great
city, should have been so long in maxi
ing its appearance in Los Angeles
The signs of petroleum hereabouts had
been abundant for years before the
Pico canyon had been so much as con-
sidered as a field for the exploitation
of it. Out on Temple street pools
which could be readily ignited by the
application of a match had long served
for the amusement of boys and for
thought for grownups. And yet, for
decades on decades, the awakening was
delayed. Perhaps but for the dull
times which followed the collapse of
the boom of 1SS6-S7-SS we should never
have witnessed this sensational exploit
tation. Los Angeles has even seen the
day when the culture of the Belgian
hare and work on Elysian park, with
wages for the unemployed at 81 day,
were not looked upon with disfavor.
The development of oil in Southern
California has meant many things for
Los Angeles. 1t means cheap fuel,
and that means manufactures 1t Is

mayor ranking in importance with the
commissioner of police, the fire depart
ment, public works and charities. The
immediate effect of this was to produce
cheaper cookery. but, unfortunately, at
the next election it was found that the
department was a political issue. Some
of the people wanted Tammany cooks
others called for fusion cooks. The
straight Republican cooks found favor
in high social circles, and so on.
All of this had a bad effect upon the
cooking. and during the campaign of
