|OIL MEN EXPECT
AID FROM PINCHOT
Former Chief Forester to IN
spect California Fields in
September

Oil men expect some measure of re-
lief from the present policy of the
general land office in regard to the
petroleum measures win follow Clifford
Pinchot's visit to the fields next
month. While Pinchot is no longer a
member of the administration. he ex-
ercises. as president of the National
conservation commission. an influence
so powerful that it is felt that it will
be reflected sooner or later in federal
regulations.
The oil men have been dissatisfied
with the extensive Withdrawals of
President Taft. the failure to arrange
a system for location, and the rulings
by which doubt has been cast upon
the titles of a great number of operat-
ing companies.
The policy which has given rise TO
these conditions had it's origin with
Secretary Ballinger. 1t has been the
contention of California operators that
the oil regions required special legis-
IatiOn and could not be handled prop
erIy under the same rulings that have
been applied to coal lands. Oil flows
and the holders of big tracts are able
to tap the pools that underlie the with
drawn areas. The result. of course, Is
to give the advantage to the corpora
tions operating on the largest scale.
This means such companies as the
Standard and the Southern Pacific,
which control alternate sections in
the proved territory.
Pinchot has never made a personal
inspection Of the oil fields and when
recently in San Francisco expressed
his desire to make a trip into the re-
gfon. 1t has now been arranged that
he will be escorted through the oil
fields by representatives from San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Bakersfield and
Coalinga- His visit has been set for
September IL
From the knowledge gained by per-
sonal study, Pinchot will be able to
enlighten the members OF the conServa-
tion association. In this way it Is be-
lieved that the federal government may
be induced to adjust its regulations to
serve the interests of the community
rather than a few corporations.

LAKEVIEW Will
Lose ITS CROWN
New Oilfield King Takes Place
of the Famous Gusher
mo. 70"

Fhe Lakeview is no longer the king
of the oil country. 1t has been super
seeded by the big producer of the Amer
lean oilfields company. This geyser.
known as well NO. 49," has been yield
ing steadily for several days at the
rate of 10000 barrels every "a hours.
In the meantime the Lakeview has
dropped to 10000 barrels daily.
The new American oilfields gusher is
located on section 3S in the North Mid
way 1t came in two weeks ago and
Moved 10000 barrel gait without
much gas pressure, rolling over the
casing like an artesian we'll At the
end of last week it broke loose and
spread black spray all over the land
scape. Since then it has continued to
produce 10000 barrels a day.
Another big we'll was brought in near
the Lakeview when the .Maricopa Sc, a
san francisco company, struck the
gusher sand The stream of oil spout
ed high above the derrick 1t poured
forth an immense volume of oil before
II sanded up. 1t is now being cleaned
and will soon be opened again This
company has contracted it's pfoduct to
the Standard oil company and has be-
gun deliveries. Pipes have been run
reservoirs built. and preparations are
being made to handle the great flow
when the well is turned loose.
The Union oil company has Jevel-
oped another gigantic gusher near the
Lakeview. in Sage No. H. This well
rivaled its famous neighbor and gave
out such torrent of petroleum that
no measure could be taken. 1t choked
through its own force. The company
which also controls the Lakeview, will
allow 1T to remain inactive for the
present.
In the Santa Maria field the two ia
nous Palmer wells have shown an in
clination to increase rather than to
decrease. The output is approximately
10000 barrels of oil daily. The wells
are flowing clean and making very lit
tie sand. The product goes to the As
ISOLATED and the Union oil companies
at so and SO cents a barrel The
Palmer company has not only filed it's
contract to date, but has 10000 bar
rels in storage. At the same time IL
is producing far more than enough to
take care of the enormous amount
which it is pledged to deliver over a
series of years

NEW OIL WELL SAID TO
BE Squirting AGAIN

The Pennsylvania petroleum company's
new well, which has been slowly
coming in, was reported squirting again
yesterday, at about a 500 barrel rate,
says the Santa Barbara Independent.
The difficulty of bringing wells to flow
in the Cat canyon district, even after
being completed, is hardly realized
The Palmer oil company has had the
same trouble to contend with, espe-
cially in their No. l, which is nearly 400
feet deeper than No. 2. The No. Q,
being so much shallower and having
been drilled so much quicker than the
other wells, was three months from the
time IT was finished until ii became a
big gusher.

COMPANY TO DEVELOP
MIDWAY OIL LANDS
Los Angeles Organizers Take
Over Three Quarter Sections

Three quarter sections in the Midway
field have been taken over and will be
developed Immediately by the Western
petroleum company. just organized in
Los Angeles with capital of $4,000 900,
of which $125,000 has been paid in.
Howard E. Huntington, William Erb.
r. f. Hewlett, Captain j. f. Lucey and
l.. A. McCray are the organizers. The
company has established offices in the
Pacific electric building.
The principal purpose of the organi-
cation is to assist in financing oil
companies, taking over such interests
as may be necessary to further opera
tions and investing in securities.
1t viii operate on the land in the
Midway field under an arrangement
with the Barnodon oil company, San
Francisco, the property comprising the
southwest quarter of section 30-31 "a,
northeast quarter of IA and northwest
quarter of 10, both of the latter being
in 31-23.

GREAT CONTRACTS
in OIL PENDING
Foreign Corporations Are Now
Negotiating With Inde-
pendent Producers

Two of the biggest contracts that
in process of negotiation between the
Independent producers and foreign cor
porations. The papers will not be
signed until the producers are able to
show a given amount in storage and
adequate pipe line facilities to tide
water. The price is eminently salts
factory. The figure will bring to the
agency members not less than so cents
a barrel.
The details will not be disclosed. but
it may be stated on the highest au-
thority that nothing can well hinder
the successful conclusion of the big
agreements One of the purchasing
syndicates is British, the other is Bel
gian. They will not affix their sigma
lures to the papers, however, until
the big storage reservoirs now being
built near San Luis Obispo have been
completed and filled. This may re-
Quire six months.
The English syndicate is said to be
in the field for 100000 barrels to be
delivered over a period of five years.
The Belgian corporation stands ready
to purchase somewhat smaller
amount over a like number of years.
1t is understood that the petroleum is
wanted essentially for steamship pur-
poses.
The agency offered to close the con-
tract on the spot, but the foreigners
declined on the ground that they had
no satisfactory evidence that the
amount could be delivered. When the
great output of the California fields
was explained to them, they still held
off on the ground that this big yield
might not continue. They required that
the amount be shown to them in stor-
age as a guarantee.
The foreigners desire to purchase
at shipside on the Pacific coast. This
may necessitate the construction of
still another pipe line to the ocean.
At the same time it is pretty we'll
assured that the English government
will before long request tenders for a
great supply of oil for use in the navy.
The agency has just completed it's
first move toward simplifying the stor-
age problem. Plans have been COM
pleted for the issuance of certificates.
Independent companies with oil stored
with the agency may now borrow
money on these certificates and need
not, therefore, be handicapped in de-
velopment work. 1t is estimated that
100000 barrels of agency oil are now
held in storage.

rig and camphouses and viii get the
drilling started this month.
The company expects to get oil in
its first sand at a depth of $40 to 500
feet. which it expects to reach early
in October. The company has secured
the services of one of the best drilling
crews in Kern county, one of the drill

Authority on Explosives

Advices from Cape Town. South At

In 1870 the late chemist was grad

tai unmber of inmates in the five
asylums and the state home for
the feeble minded at the present
time being 9,751, as compared with
2 l69 Is years ago. Each year
since 1892 there hts been a steady
increase of insanity and Tia asy-
lums are overcrowded in many in
stances at the present time. Since
the last report was issued in 1900
there have been decided increases.
