CONSOLIDATED
DETERMINES DIP Of SAND
Logs of Wells in the Vicinity Indi-
cate Oil Lies at Greater
Depth

That the dip of the oil sands is
more pronounced than at first believed
on the property of the Coalinga Con-
solidated is now the belief of the man
agement, which has made an investi-
cation of the several logs in the vicin-
ity and measured off the distance,
making it appear the oil sands lie on
this property, at a depth of 1908 feet.
A report received by e. w. Preston,
manager of the Pacific States Guaran-
ty and Land company, Los Angeles,
from G. d. Spurlln, superintendent of
the Consolidated yesterday, says:
"At last 1 have got the proper dope
on the Consolidated. Isgot the opinion
of every practical oil man in Coalinga,
and no two men agree. so 1 got busy.
1 took a tape line and measured from
the Commercial well to the Console
dated, and 1 found the distance to be
1895 feet, measured from well to well
over hills and ALL
"Then I took the line opposite the
Commercial well down to the road on
a line opposite the Consolidated, and
that was 1876 feet, so allowing for
variations, 100 feet, over the hills,
would make at least 1400 feet between
the Commercial and the Consolidated
wells.
''Now, in studying the Commercial
log thoroughly the gray sand and sea
shells that we encountered since we
were 1851 feet tally with the Com
mercial well at a depth of 1870 feet,
making our well 2S0 feet deeper. On
the other hand, we will figure our
selves 1400 feet down on the formation,
at pitch of % to the 100, which
makes us 30S feet deeper than the Com
mercial.
Now, substract 80 feet for the ele-
walton of the Commercial than the
Consolidated, it would make it 27S feet,
which tally with the Commercial we'll
within three feet, making us q total
depth Of 1708 feet.
I'VE had the water shut off at 1548
feet, and we are 1870 feet deep now,
but we will proceed to loosen the 5-S
casing and carry it through the bal
ance of the sand. Farther down we
will have to shut off again before we
enter the dark brown shale everything

DRILLS AND CEMENT

The Valley Oil company, operating
at Coalinga, has drilled out the cement
in its first well, finding that the water
has not been completely shut off. It
does not leak a great deal, but steps
are being taken to handle the water
successfully. The rig for we'll No. 2
is up. and this company is about ready
to spud in here.
The Coalinga Crude is reported to
be looking better than ever. The hole
has reached a depth of 725 feet, and
the drillers expect to shut off the
water in day or two.
The DORCHESTER, on section 49, Goa
linga, has not drilled out the cement
yet, and 1t is therefore not certain
whether the water has been shut off.
The Coalinga Central has completed
a big boiler plant on its property, and
has everything in shape for work.
The American Petroleum, on section
6-20-15, has completed five rigs and has
three strings of tools now drilling.

DIR. Daniel X. Pearsons Is Chicago
millionaire who has given away In the
last twenty years over $4,000. 000-prac-
tically his entire fortune. NJ Malcolm Nc
Doweli, writing about Dr. Pearsons in
the December American Magazine,
says of him:
Collins We're never made to carry
money in said Daniel K. Pearsons
just twenty years ago. Then he start
ed In and gave away about 100000
to boards of trustees and presidents
and regents of colleges. academies.
and schools.
This great sum of money has gone
to nearly half hundred institutions
Of learning, well distributed over this
country, In most cases DIR. Pearsons
has had the habit of saying. Mr.. Col
lege President, I'll give your little
school $4,000 If you will raise another
$50, 000.' He tied this If string to his
first contribution and Beloit college
made good. Since. and that was back
in 1890 or thereabouts. he has worked
that proposition so effectively that, 1t
Is estimated. his 100000 have drawn
at least 100000 to them. so that the
Pearsons gifts have actually brought
81 n0a, 600 to small colleges and semi
naries where the money was most
needed.
Woman His Inspiration.
"And woman was at the bottom of
all his. When Mary Lyon, who found
ed the first college for women in this
country. was making ooverlets and do
ing odd chores to get money to put her
through Ashfield Academy, she used to
run across doctor who felt the pulses
and .prospected the tongues of the
farmers who bought her bedciothes.

arranged that the last s1,50o,o00 he
gave away should carry with 1t per

his wife lived they should be sure OF
an income of 5000 year. AS their
ordinary living expenses seldom

tain of always having some surplus to

say he intended to loan this out to
poor students at nominal interest
rate. He has had $4,000 loaned out
to students at per cent at one time.

gave up writing prescriptions and be-
gan the more lucrative work of writ
ing warranty deeds for farm lands
prairie acres owned by New England
friends---which he sold on 5 per cent
commission.
He was one OF the original adyer-
Users, for he bought newspaper space
freely, and to such good purpose that
he soon became known as a most sue
cessful real estate dealer. In 10 years
he had bought and sold more than a
million acres Of farm and timber land
and was getting rich. He was elected
an Alderman from Chicago's First
Ward that ward now represented In
