SONOMA COUNTY
OIL IS PROMISING
Development OF Good Well Near
Petaluma ArOuses Hopes and
Encourages Capitalists

Interest in oil has been greatly slim
ulated in Sonoma county by reason OF
the report that a good we'll has been
developed near Petaluma- For pum-
Der of years the Petaluma country has
been regarded as promising. but the
early operations had resulted only In
gas wells. Some of these, however.
were of such a nature as to interest
capital. 1t was thought that a natural
gas field could be developed with San
Francisco as a marketing center. Re
cent efforts have sent the drill into
petroleum, according TO the accounts
published in the Petaluma papers.
English capital has been attracted TO
the Petaluma country, and il is under
stood that the strike was made on the
property controlled by the foreigners
The Petaluma Argus thus tells OF the
new well:
Petaluma's pioneer oil we'll is 10
Gated on the Andy DuCker ranch, about
100 yards south from the gas we'll ana
about four miles east Of this city. The
present oil sands were encountered at
well being 750 feet After reaching the
present level the sand began TO cave
badly, and there being a good showing
of oil drilling was discontinued and
four lengths of perforated pipe were
lowered to the bottom. Through this
perforated pipe the oil had seeped so
rapidly (from o'clock Monday evening
until noon on Tuesday, that il had risen
to within 200 feet of the surface. This
means that $50 feet of the well casing
is filled with oil.
Superintendent Bert Travis estimates
the capacity of the well at ESQ to 500
barrels per day Mcdonald and Frank
place their estimate of its probable out
put at from 200 TO 300 barrels. Nc
DOugaIl an eastern drtIler. who was
present AT the demonstration. says the
we'll will produce from 300 to 400 bar
rels. The gravity of the oil is esti-
mated at from Is TO 20.
In a short time the drill will be again
put to work and sent on down through
the oil sands until another and Underly-
ing formation is encountered.

STATE HAS fine
OUTLOOK IN oil
L. E. Blochman Takes 0ptimis-
tic View and Says Big Gush-
ers Help Industry

Writing from Santa Maria. L. Z.
Blochman, owner of the property
leased to the Palmer company, and in
terested in other petroleum projects,
takes most optimistic view of the
general situation. He says:
That California oil producers viii
eventually find themselves working on
better basis than ever before as a
result of the phenomenal Midway
gushers is now the belief of leading
operators of the Santa Maria field.
Instead of demoralizing the oil
market and proving a calamity, the
tremendous output of the Lakeview
and other gushers is now seen to have
been blessing in disguise. For this
reason; Hereafter steps will be taken
to provide for the storage of a large
surplus. something that has never
been done before With the supply
certain. users of oil can safely rely on
it as their exclusive fuel and the con-
sumption will increase enormously.
The state ought to have at least six
months storage ahead. Heretofore we
have had barely twO.monthS ahead.
This also makes il possible for the
United States navy soon to begin the
use of oil on some of the war yes
sells.
In the meantime the large pTOduc-
ing and developing oil companies are
improvising a large number of tanks as
well earthen storage reservoirs.
The Union oil company. for instance.
has near Orcutt two 100000 barrel
earthen reservoirs in which the pro-
duction of the big Hartnell gusher
was stored several years ago. They are
now using this to store some of their
Lakeview oil production. pumping it
over from the interior to the tanks
al Port Hartford and back again from
there 35 miles to the Union Hartnell
reservoirs
The Union oil company is now
erecting several large tanks at Port
Hartford for oil storage purposes. The
Associated and Standard are doing the
same in the interior
AN additional pipe line could be
built at any time from the eastern
Santa Maria fields to Port Hartford 10
relieve any excessive production. The
eastern Santa Maria field is also very
closely connected at present with
Gaviota by the Associated oil COM
panys eight inch pipe line. with a
length of only 80 miles. This company
took last month 10000 barrels from
the Palmer oil company and did not
use its pipe line half the time. al
though the Palmer company had more
oil to offer.
Palmer No. 2 has by actual meas
urement been producing 5000 barrels
day 1t is only a question of a few
months before additional arrangements
can be made to deliver the surplus of
this we'll and neighboring wells that
are about to come in

warning him that the Chinese must be
treated the same as other residents in
the city, and arrests made must be fol-
lowed by the pres entation to the court

follows:

the Chinese quarter for the purpose of

nances of the board of supervisors of

You shall be vigilant and alert to
secure evidence to sustain a conviction
of the same nature and Importance
as is required for a conviction by the
courts. Each arrest will be followed by
a presentation to the court or jury of
evidence sufficient to secure a convic-
ton or to Justify the arrest. No per-
son shall be deprived of his liberty or
property without due process of law,
and personal property rights will be
safely and securely guarded. The
humblest human being of the China
town quarter is to receive the same
treatment and consideration guaranteed
him by the law as is given to any citi
zen. During your services on this de-
tail you will not allow any outside in
reference. orders from this Office, the
