The DiVidend-Paying Oil
Companies

of California have paid to their stock
holders during the last ten years the
great sum of nearly so Million Dollars.
A tremendous sum, you say. Yes, so
1t is. However, we are confident that
the sum will be doubled in the next 10
years. what! Pay 100 Million Dollars
in cash?" Yes, and perhaps more.
Government statistics show that less
than 1 per cent of California oil COM
panies failed to succeed in the last few
years; in fact, since the industry has
been on a firm foundation. Dividends
earned by these oil companies are re-
ceiving from 30 to $50 per cent annually.
Now, these figures are facts and are
public records. Figures recently filed
show that the Union Oil Company of
Los Angeles actually paid to it's stock
holders in 1906 A DIVIDEND OF 80
per cent, and in 1907 the ENORMOUS
DIVIDEND OF NEARLY 14O per cent,
and in addition placed big sum in the
company's reserve fund.
The Union Oil Company had its ex-
istence in Ventura county-the very

In fact our first wells will be drilled
within a few hundred feet of the prop
erty controlled by this wealthy organ
ization. They were the pioneers, they
found the oil in paying quantities and
they have really proved our ground as
oil land. 1t remains for us to simply
put down our wells and pump the oil
into reservoirs ready for the market.

SECURES LEASE ON LARGE
ACREAGE
Santa Paula, Sespe and Plru Had Pro-
ducing Wells Many Years Ago.
New Companies Drill
Deeper Wells

The general demand for light oil is
shifting the scene of activity into Ven
tura county, where a splendid product
is obtained at shallow depth and at
small cost for drilling. The oil field of
TINS county is divided into three dis
trlcts, the Santa Paula, Sespe and Piru.
Most of the producing wells We're drilled
drilled many years ago, some of them
as far back as tWenty-one years. At
that time drilling was confined to the
break in the formation or near the
anticline. Experience has taught the
oil men that large wells of long life are
obtained by tapping the oil sands
further away from the break and the
new companies recently to enter the
oil fields are drilling deeper wells New
derricks are going up at a surprising
rate, old wells are being cleaned out
and deepened and new wells being
drilled. More activity is reported from
Fillmore than elsewhere in the county
at the present time. The Big Sespe Oil
company is drilling two wells, putting
TWO or three old ones on the pump and
building a siX-lnch pipe line from their
property to Brownstone, a distance of
about seven miles, at a cost of about
$4,000. The stockholders, Dixie Ma
tional, White Star. Mutual and Turner
companies are very active. Some of
these have a nice production and others
are preparing to drill a number Of
wells.
The Crown Oil company, composed Of
business men and practical oil men, has
recently secured a long time lease on
800 acres of what is considered proven
oil ground. 1t is said that two recog-
nized formations, the Modella and Sespe
Reds, overlap each other on this prop
erty and that both formations are
known to contain several layers of oil
sand and shales. There are
a number of large oil seepages JUST
north of the property in the bed of
Little Sespe creek and in the imme- |
diate vicinity of the Kentuck, Los An !
geles and Brownstone wells. The lat |
ter group of wells Is a short distance |
north Of the Crowns property. Four |
pipe lines are within |
easy reach of this company, and there |
are five flowing springs on the property |

0'D0NNELL OPENS
UP A NEW FIELD
GETS OIL SAND ON ON SECTION
6, M. E. KITTRICK
Bear Creek and Majestic Wells on
Sections IA and 20 In Mid
way Are Good
Ones

j. p. ODonnell was. in Los Angeles
yesterday from McKittrick, where h
recently struck oil sands in a new
part of the district that has proved
up an entirely new field. The we'll
| which is known as the O'Donnell-Ya
! cey, is on the east side OF section 6
and near the foothills which rise
above San Joaquin valley. Two small
wells have been producing in that To-
cality on a limited scale and one OF
these, the United States, has recently
| increased it's flow until it is now rated
good producer.
Mr.. oDonnell is we'll pleased with
the development in that section. The
well has passed through 200 feet OF
oil sand but has not been put on the
pump, nor has drilling ceased. "a
we'll which was sunk some little dis
tance above us, the Sea Breee, entered
an oil sand which lies below the one
we have encountered" said Mr..
O'Donnell, (which promises to be very
productive. We have continued drill
ing and win have probably 100 feet
to go to enter that sand. The Sea
Breeze was close to a fault. and had
some trouble with water. When we
reach that stratum, we expect to have
good WELL"
Mr. O'Donnell says that the Bear
Creek Oil companys well on section
IA. and the Majestic on section %,
Midway, are both good wells, and that
there is great activity in that portion
of the field, which he considers a good
one. The Bear Creek well he reckons,
eonservatively, at 200 barrels, and the
Majestic at 100.
The California Oil World, one of the
best oil authorities / nthe state, has
the following from it's M0Kittrick cor
respondent concerning the O'Donnell-
Yancey operations:
Two hundred feet of rich oil sand
have been passed through in the
east half of section g. where the IT,
S, and the Sea Breeze brought in
small wells ten years ago. The new
operations have apparently proven a
new sand in the McKittrick field, one
lying along the flank of the hills
which rise from the levels of the San
Joaquin valley. This sand extends
into the valley proper, and, so far as
developments have gone, it is the only
one discovered except that on the east |
side at Coalinga, and the Kern River
fields
At all other points where oil is
found in the interior. the measures
have been uncovered in ranges or on
fats lying back of the first foothills
However extensive this strike may
prove to be, it is. of course, impossible
20 say, but the very fact that good
we'll is to be brought in in the midst
If a country possessing an appearance
If unbroken formation for miles gives
opportunity for the play of the imag-
nation to an unlimited extent. The
belief is almost universal among those
acquainted with the new developments
hat Kern River field is about to be
opened with all of it's possibilities both
n capacity of production and in ideal
conditions for drilling.
