CROWN co. PREPARES
FOR BIG DEVELOPMENT

That the Crown Oil company is pre-
pairing for extensive development of its
100 acres in section 30-32-25, Midway
basin, is evident with the fact that it
has ordered two Parker rotary drills.
One of these drills was ordered last
month and its arrival is expected
within two weeks.
John r. Shelter, a Texas rotary man,
who assisted in drilling the Standard
gusher on 20-32-24, has been employed
by the Crown people to take full
charge of drilling operations at Mid
way and will arrive today to inspect
a rotary now under purchase. 1t is
expected Mr. Shelter will accept the
rotary and that it will be shipped to
Midway this week and installed i'm
mediately.
Way C. West, secretary and general
manager of the company in speaking
of operations at Midway, said: I'VE
will have either one of our rotary
drills working within fifteen days. A
battery of two 45 horse power boilers
will supply power and gas will be the
fuel. We intend to drill q 12-inch hole
and will carry a S1s-inch casing about
2200 feet. We expect to enter the oil
and gas belt at 2500 feet"
The Crown has overcome the bad
luck on the Ventura well No. 1 and the
drill is again dropping with increased
gas pressure and more oil coming out
of the sands. The company expects to
finish this well at about 1900 feet and
Is looking for good well Of high grav-
ttV oil.

GOVERNMENT TESTSHOWS;;
ADVANTAGE OF FUEL OIL
Coal Does Not Compare to Min
eraI Fluid for Burners
on BattIeShipS

According to a dispatch from Washington,
the tests to compare the efficiency of oil fuel
and coal for naval vessels, which have been
completed at the Puget Sound navy yard,
show every material advantage for oil fuel
all along the line. Oil evaporates nearly twice
as nucb water at a given temperature, Is
more economical, and in other respects is found
more advantageous than coal. These advan-
tages added to all the important mlhtary
advantage of oil over coal for use aboard ship,
are highly gratifying to the navy department
which has received a full report of the Puget
Sound tests.
The tests we're made at the power house at
Puget Sound. The central power plant was
used and IL was found that about fifteen
pounds of water was evaporated to the pound
of fuel oil as compared to nine pounds OF
water to the pound of coal. The fuel oil
was shown to have 60 per cent of evaporating
efficiency. The cost Of evaporatng 1000 POUNDS
of water by oil fuel was 21h cents, and by
using COAL 35.s cents.
The Importance of the foregoing figures can
be realized when It is known that the et-
foiencv Of fuel depends on the units of water
1t will evaporate at a given temperature. Ihe
advantage of oil over coal is so decisiVely
demonstrated that further tests will be un-
neoessarv OIL instead of coal will be used
in the power plant
In commenting on the tests at Puget Sound
naval authorities said that the tests showed
clearly that oil had advantages which were
not fully appreciated, and that in the near
future other important advantages for oil fuel
would doubtless develop.
BY its position as an oil producing country,
the United States, 1t is pointed out by the
naval officers, can produce more oil than the
other leading powers, and thereby holds an
advantage which cannot be overcome

EASTERN INVESTORS BUY
IN CONSOLIDATED MIDWAY

Announcement was made yesterday
by Phillip D. Wilson and the Heron
& Wright Co., who recently took over
under option 100000 shares of the treas
ury stock of the Consolidated Midway
Oil company, that the deal had been
successfully closed by the sale of all of
the remaining shares held under the
option.
The original contract was entered
into with the Consolidated company
April 10 last, and Messrs. Wilson and
Heron & Knight, at a price approxi-
mating 100000 for the block of 100000
shares Of the stock. F. l. Heron went
to New York to place the shares with
eastern investors who had become in
terested in the California oil fields, and
the majority of the shares were placed
with these investors, though over 100,
900 shares have been handled locally
and are now held by Los Angeles men.
By reason of the fact that the COM
pany has brought in three wells on its
Kern river holdings-one of which is
reported to be flowing at the rate of
200 barrels daily-and has also just
brought in its well on section 3O ad-
joining the famous LakeView gusher,
Consolidated Midway has been a fea-
ture of the week in oil circles. The
shares have been more active in the
past few days than those of any other
company in the Midway field.

PROSPECTING PARTY
DRILLS NEW TERRITORY
Will Determine What Lies in San
Antonio Section, San Luis
0bispo County

SAN LUIS oBISPO, June PA corporation,
consisting mostly of Bakersfield people and
known as the Bradley Oil company. has de-
cided to find out whether there is oil in
paying quantities at the San Antonio section
of the country, not far from San Miguel
The experts sent by the company to make
investigation of the conditions at San An
tonic have reported that they have looked
over the ground. A lease has been secured
for land from Mrs Emma Exine.
The Bradley Oil company recently struck q
snag about seven miles southwest of the town
of that name in Monterey county and was
compelled to abandon a well which it had
been sinking and is now at a depth of 1886
feet The water has started in the well and
cannot be shut off. 1t is the company's in
tention to drill another hole alongside the one
abandoned. The surface indications in that
locality show signs of oil, but none has ever
been developed in paying quantities.
The drill in the well they have given up
passed through nearly 100 feet of barren oil
sand. Such are the fortunes of prospecting
for oil.
Examinations have been made lately of the
Parkfeld district in the Ghoame valley, be-
tween the southern end of the Mount Diablo
range and the Temblor range at its northern
end. A number Of oil seepages and asphalt
outcrops along the anticine in this district
and there is a similarity to the Midway dis
trict in parts of it. What oil has been found
is of high gravity.
The field was prospected several years ago.
and a well of high gravity oil was brought
in at only 200 feet, showing that the oil is
near the surface, but there is not a big
supply. The Parkheld-San Antonio Oil COM
pany is engaged at present in drilling a we'll
in this district, but the location of the well
is further back from the anticline.
