SECTION SIX HAS
MANY BIG WELLS
MIDWAY CRUDE NO. | BREAKS
LOOSE
CrandaIl No. 2 Follows Suit and Inter-
mittenty Spouts Oil Gas
Pressure Strong in
Santa re

Section six in the Midway field bids
fair to develop some sensational wells,
and oil men are becoming deeply inter-
ested in the performance of several Of
the new ones. A letter was received
yesterday from the field superintend-
ent of one of the Los Angeles compa-
nies which have recently entered the
field, which says that the No. 2. well
of the Midway Crude Oil company,
known locally as the Cooley Well
broke loose Sunday and "flowed all
over everything, clear to the roof"
The Crandau No. 2, said the writer,
broke out on Friday, flowing 500 bar
rels, and again on Saturday and Sun
day. The drillers have been unable to
reach the bottom Of the Santa Fe,
the latest we'll to come in, because Of
a heavy gas pressure and consequent
heaving sands. This we'll entered the
oil sands at a depth of 1410 feet and is
the shallowest we'll in that locality.
The Midway Six, which was prepar-
Ing to drill within $50 feet of the Santa
Fe when that we'll came in, has COM
pleled it's derrick and the tools have
been sent out TO the ground. The COM
pany will commence drilling within a

DvRING THE RAINS
DRINK PURITAS
DISTILLED WATER
Natural Water Contains the Impurities
Washed from the Soil by
Early Rains

Many people drink Puritas distilled
water during the hot months of sum-
mer. But as cool weather comes along
they discontinue its use.
They realize the necessity of pure
water for drinking purposes, but have
Puritas in their homes only at times
when considerable amounts of water
are consumed.
We wish to emphasize the fact that
at no time is the use of Puritas more
essential than just at present.
The early rains wash from the soil
the impurities that have collected dur
ing the warm, rainless months of sum
mer. These impurities are taken into
natural drinking waters and become a
fertile source of impurity and disease.
You ought to have a supply of Puri-
tas distilled water on hand the year
round. but at no time is it's use more
essential than at present. You would
not think Of eating impure food during
the cooler months. Why, then, drink
impure water?
A further thought-one ought to
drink plenty of pure water at all times.
1t is a natural solvent and cleanser.
Not only does it quench the thirst,
but it tends to keep the system sweet
and clean.
Puritas is absolutely pure water.
1t is twice distilled. II is aerated with
pure ozone. 1t is bottled so carefully
that it reaches you with all its whole
some purity intact
Puritas is very inexpensive-fiye gal
Ions cost but 40 cents.
Just telephone us-Home 10053 Sun
set Main 8191-and we will see that
you are supplied promptly.

HUSSEY MAKES BEAR RAID
ON COMBINATION FRACTION
WHILE MILL is SHUT DOWN
Especial to The Herald. ]

GOLDF1ELD, New, Nov. 1.-THE
slump in Combination Fraction today is
attributed to the dumping of a large
block, 10000 shares, by j. v. Hussey, on
the San Francisco market, and tOuting
friends to bear the stock. The raid was
assisted by the temporary closing of the
compaDy's mill President Wingheld and
j. S. Stark, consulting engineer for the
company, are both out of town and
nothing definite can be learned, SupeFin-
tendent Muir refusing to talk. Officials
of the company have lately said that the
ore reserves are ample for the continued
operation of the mill, and that regular
dividends would be paid. 1t is declared
by those in a position to know that the
mill has been closed down temporarily,
and will resume in full force.

SEA LION CHOKES m FISH

One of Zoo Park Animals Gets Lungs
Filled with Water While
Being Fed

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 5.-A
diet of fish probably proved fatal to
one of the five sea lions in Washing
ton park zoo recently.
One of the smallest of the denizens of
the big pool died almost Immediately
after Animal Keeper +. II. Bean had
fed them with several baskets of fish
Park Commissioner Henry Weber,
who was inspecting the park when the
dying animal was discovered, is of the
opinion that it choked on one of the
fish which it generally swallowed
whole, and diving, took some water
on its lungs and drowned before its
plight was discovered.

NEVADA NO. 1 WELL
MAKES STEADY RUN
PRODUCTION 200 BARRELS
PER DAY
Amy Pays for Land-VaIley View Re-
sumes DriIling-DeVil's Den COM
pany Enters Oil Sand at
800 Feet

The Nevada Petroleum No. 1 well
yesterday afternoon completed a steady
run of about twenty-eight hours and
gave a production of between 200 and
225 barrels per twenty-four hours. That
was the longest run yet made by the
well since it was brought in two weeks
ago. Considerable trouble has been
caused by the sand and shut downs
were frequent. Late yesterday after
noon the rods parted and it will be an
other day before the well is again on
the beam.
Much sand and drilling muck is still
being pumped and when the hole is i'm
ally cleaned out a fine production well
is expected. The oil has been tested
and shows 151a gravity. 1t is but eighty
five feet in the sand and at this depth
is giving rich promise.
Amy Pays for Land
At a meeting of the Army Oil COM
pany directors held this morning the
final payment on the land was made.
The company is soon to place block
of stock on the market at $3.50 per
share. The well will soon be producing.
1t is now being drilled through the last
twenty or thirty feet of oil sand, and
before many days have passed is eX-
pected to be giving the long looked for
production. The hole when completed
will be 1884 feet in depth.
Valley View Resumes
Work was resumed on the Valley
we'll today after the two weeks shut
down caused by the second cementing
off of the water 1t will require two
or three days yet before the result of
the work is known. No trouble is an
ticipated and the we'll is expected to be
finished up at an early date.
DEVILS Den Companies
Reports from the Devils Den, where
the Ell Cerrito and Portola are operat-
ing, are more encouraging. The Por-
tola has gone into a good showing of
sand at about 500 feet and the water is
now being cemented off and 1t will be
ten days yet before the work will be
resumed.
At the El Cerrito it is reported indi-
cations are brighter. The efforts to
pump off the water have not met with
success as yet, but the feeling seems to
be better than it was two weeks ago.
Purchases Lease
Ross B. Matkln of Los Angeles and
associates, prominently identified with
the American mining industry, have
purchased the lease of the Coalinga Pc
troleum company to the east half Of
the northeast quarter of section IA, 20
H. The amount of the purchase price
and the terms of the sale have not been
made public. As soon as the new own
ers take possession, which will be about
the first of the year, they will begin
the outlay Of a considerable sum of
money for improvements and new work.
At present there are seven wells ana
one rig up on the property.
The Coalinga Petroleum, which is
headed by r. c. Baker, holds a per-
petual lease to the property which is
operated on a royalty basis.
The Los Angeles men are experienced
mining men. They have operated in

bilities of the oil industry and prepared
