wIlLARO'S RECORD FLIGHT
NEW YORK AVIATOR GOES IL
MILES ACROSS COUNTRY.
Passes Over Towns and Groves OF
Trees at Rapid
Clip.

MINEOIA n Y. August 13.-Nha is
said to be record for cross-country
distance flight for an aeroplanc in this
country was made by G. Foster Willard
in the Golden FLYER today, when he COW
cred twelve miles in 1aie minutes.
This exceeds the ten-mile flight made
by the Wright brothers aeroplane from
Fort Myer to Alexandria and back sew
eral weeks ago. Much longer nights
within IA short circle. however. have been
made by the Wrights and longer cross
country flights have been made abroad.
Mr. Willard. who has been making
short flights almost daily in the machine
belonging to the .Aeronautic Society,
started from Mineola at 90 am. today
in an attempt to make new world ;
record cross-country fight. His route lay
around an irregular square, and carried
him from Miueo'a over Garden CITY.
Westbury and Hicksvile and back to
Mineola. a distance of fourteen miles.
Hits Fast Clip.
Leaving Mineola Willard sent the ma
chine about 80 feet in the air and go
ing off at a fast clip, his machine was
quickly speck on the horizon. soon
it disappeared behind the trees and for
nearly ten minutes the watchers waited
expectantly.
Nearly fifteen minutes had elapsed
when the speck again appeared miles
away in the direction of Westbury. 1t
was growing larger every minute and
the watchers were preparing to con-
graduate Mr. Willard when the machine
began to glide slowly downward and then
landed i'm a field between Mineola and
Westbury, about two miles from Nine
ola.
Machine Not Damaged.
The machine was unchanged, but the
magnetic was deranged. On his fight
Willard passed over several sets of tele
graph wires and groves of trees.
The machine was returned to Mneola,
where the trouble with the magnetic will
be remedied.

NEW TERRITORY
PROVED IN THE
MIDWAY FIELD
SIX MILES OF OIL LAND TO BE
DRILLED
Midway Crude, Santa Fe Six and Gram
dali Wells All Good Producers.
Bear Creek and Majestic Have
Advanced Field to Northwest

The north part Of the Midway field is
in the limelight just now, and a strip
of country extending for distance of
five or six miles has been demonstrated
by big wells which have recently beer
brought in The field extends from the
Santa Fe we'll on section 8, northwest
to the we'll of the Bear Creek OIL COM
pany on section IA, and embraces the
Midway company of Oregon, the St.
Lawrence, which after a years work
has brought in a big we'll of high
gravity oil at depth of 2175 feet, the
Santa Fe Six, Midway Crude and the
Crandall wells of the Hawaiian OIL
company on section 81, the Brookshire
we'll on "a, the Majestic on % and the
Bear Creek on IA. The last named is
rated by J. Z. O'Donnell at 200 barrels
and the Majestic at 100, and he admits
that these are ultra conservative estir
mates.
Between the Bear Creek and Majes-
tic on the north and the Crandall wells
on the north half of section 81 is a
large territory which will now be ex-
tensively drilled.
The st. Lawrence promises to be one
of the best wells of this locality. When
first brought in it lifted the drilling
water high in the air, following with a
flow of clear, greenish colored oil of
twenty degrees gravity. When agitated
the we'll flows freely. The owners of
this we'll are running three strings Of
tools in the same locality.
The Crandall No. 2, which is on the
north half of section 81, is believed to
be good for 1000 barrels. The we'll is
shut off and released only when fuel is
desired. On a squirt recently it flowed
250 barrels in forty-five minutes, prob
ably due to an accumulation of gas,
The we'll is 2170 feet deep, while the
Santa Fe 6, but a short distance to the
SOUTH hit the sand at 1410 feet. Mid
way Crude No. 2, which is just over the
line to the north on section 81, has fire.
quently blown out during the past few
days. This we'll is 1900 feet deep.
The Midway Six, Los Angeles COM
pany, Is now ready to commence drill
ing and will follow with the second
we'll as soon as No. is we'll under way.
The Midway Six is 150 feet west of the
Santa Fe 6 and but short distance
southwest from the two wells of the
Midway Crude. With the developments
in the neighboring territory the Mid
way Six considers its ground certain
to be very productive.

Both Of these companies, Wnlch are Los

The great advantage possessed by the

Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-14

The Santa Paula, Sespe and Piru oil
fields Of Ventura county are securing
the attention of oil men these days,
the double attraction being the high
gravity of the oil produced and the
shallow depth at which 1t is reached
The Ventura county fields are probably
the oldest in the state, and the high
gravity of the oil, which is about ",
brings a fancy price on the market.
The Union laid the basis Of its fortune
here and had one well which is said
to have brought the company reve-
nue. of $1,OOO,00O 1t is the belief OF
oil experts that deeper drilling will dis
close other strata of oil sands, which
will yield heavily.
No less than ten companies have gone
into Ventura county within the last SIX
months, and many more are preparing
to enter the field. The old camps are
being rebuilt, wells are being cleaneu
out and a number of drilling rigs are
in evidence The Big Sespe company
has a large force of men at work con-
structing a six-inch pipe line connect
ing the reservoir tanks with BroWn-
stone siding. This pipe line will cost
the company not less than S2O O0O.
They have a number Of wells ready
for the pump and are drilling two new
wells besides making preparation tor
the 10SI9llilent OI an ClSNNA'~
which will furnish light and power FOR
the Santa Clara valley towns.
On the Silver Thread antl-cllner SIX
miles northwest of Santa Paula, the
Capital Crude Oil company has one well
which is yielding $50 barrels daily, and
Is drilling another. The company has
it's own refinery at Santa Paula ana is
one of the heaviest operating com
panies in this section of the Ventura
county fields. Adjoining the Capital
Crude the Pyramid Oil company, Which
recently secured the Westlake Rommel
territory, has cleaned out the old wells
and now has a production of 1000 har-
rels a month The company has gone
back UP the hill from the outcrop and
oil seepages, where the first wells were
sunk some twenty years ago, and which
are still producing, and started a new
we'll which, it is expected, VIII enter
the oil sands at a depth of 1850 feet
The calculation is made on the log ol

Mr., Mayne says that Manhattan is in
better condition today than at any time
since the San Francisco disaster well
nigh depopulated the camp. The Pc

tons of dump ore from the Rose-Nash

runs $50 ton. The Rose-Nash lease is
in fine condition, and has four feet OF

vastly improved by the addition of new
machinery and is now one of the most
complete plants in the state. Walter
Lamb has purchased the Canyon mill
and is running it on ores from Union

leasers' ore.
Mr.. Mayne was one of the original
discoverers of the riches of Manhattan,
and has said through everything. He
was chief of the boosters at the mining

particles of Manhattan gold. He ex-

SUBSTITUTE FOR PLACERS

The action of the interior department
in withdrawing oil lands from entry
has so limited the field as to add much
to the value of oil lands to which the
title is clear. Just what the outcome
will be is a matter which cannot be
determined until congress has given
1t consideration. 1t seems to be the
opinion that the practice of fling
placer locations on oil lands will be
discontinued and some method substi-
tuted by which title can be secured
in a manner similar to the procedure
in filing on coal lands, by the payment
of a stipulated sum per acre.
