BOHEMIAN DISTRICT
SURPRISES BIOLOGISTS
Entire CoaIinga Section Rich in
Production Midway
Premier Active

The property of the Associated oil
company in the Coalinga district con-
tinues to show increased production. 1t
is stated that the Bohemian, owned by
the Associated, and which has been
frowned down by geologists, has proved
to be of high value. One well is re-
ported to be flowing with high-gravity
oil.
The gigantic well of the Midway
Premier on section 5, 1928, continues its
flow and Is spreading oil in all the
available sump holes and retaining res
ervoirs.
This we'll. 1t is claimed, rivals the
famous Lakeview In production, as 1t Is
now making $4,000 barrels daily of an
oil which shows gravity of rs.
The company has contract with the
Standard which calls for a delivery of
any amount up to 100000 barrels. This
contract, 1t is believed, will be in
creased, as the Standard is using the
oil for refining and is desirous of Sc
curing more oil in the Midway as well
as other fields of California.
Well No. OF the Midway Five COM
pany, which adjoins the Midway Pre-
mier lease, after having been sanded up
for some time and allowed to remain
dormant because of the flow on the
Premier property, broke out recently at
tho rate of 1000 barrels an hour but
subsidized TO 5000 barrels day.
This large flow next to the Premier
does not have any effect on the big
gusher.

TONS OF PIG LEAD
SHIPPED FROM TIN MINE

Ell Paso has the only producing tin
mine in North America. 1t is located
on the east side of Mount Franklin,
10 miles from Ell Paso, and is known
as the Ell Paso Tin mine.
One ton of pig lead was shipped from
Ell Paso to Philadelphia, Pa, recently
in pigs weighing one hundred pounds
each, and there are two more tons
ready for shipment.
There are eight veins, the largest of
which is down 10 feet. There is a small
mill on the property. which will grind
out so tons of concentrates in twenty
four hours and these concentrates run
from go to 65 per cent tin.
The smelling furnace is worked In
conjunction with the mill and there the
pigs OF tin are made for shipment to
the eastern market.
About thirty men are employed on
the property, which is owned principal
ly by Ell Pasoans There is treatle
running from the cut in the noun
tains over to thes mill on which trains
carry the concentrates to the grinder.
1t Is the purpose of the company to
develop the property gradually and
that is haing done with the idea of se-
curing returns on the investment as
soon as possible.
Shipments viii be made regularly
each week after the mill is working
as it should.

ing the channels to the east and west
basins to the North American Dredging

United States engineers office, stated today
that work under the contract will begin
January 10. The project calls for an ex-
penditure of $250,000 The Tacoma com
pany has no plant in the south and it is
said sublet the contract rather than bring
dredgers down from the north. So far as
the government engineers are concerned,
they will have to deal only with the Tacoma
Dredging company, which has accepted the
contract under Its bid and given bond for
the performance of the work.

UNITED STATES LEADS
IN PETROLEUM PRODUCTION

There have been many signs lately
of the growth of what promise to be
effective rivals of the Standard OIL
company. In Russia, Austria and the
east large productive areas are now
worked entirely free from American
influence, and the recent action of the
Standard OH company in introducing
q new rate war makes it evident that
they realize how threatening this de-
velopment can become to their own
monopoly.
The petroleum production of the
United States is still much larger than
th6t of the whole of the rest of the
world together, but Russia produces
only two-thirds less, and the increase
in Roumania and Galicia is at a more
rapid rate than In the United States
itself. The following table gives the
production In metric tons (nine-tenths
of English tons) OF raw petroleum in
tb- chief producing areas of the
world.

ALUABLE OIL LANDS
IN NORTH MIDWAY SOLD

Fred Hall, formerly of Visalia and
now one of the biggest oil operators
in the Kern county fields, has dis
posed of so acres In the North Midway
field to San Francisco capitalists for
100000. The property, which is the
south half of the southwest quarter or
section 2, 1872, adjoins the holdings OF
the Visalia Midway, in which Hall is
also prominently interested, and on
which are two producing wells. 1t is
understood that the purchasers will
take immediate steps to develop the
property which is close to some of the
biggest wells In that field. The land
which was required number of years
ago was for a long time considered
worthless. 1t was retained, however,
until oil strikes in the vicinity caused
1t to rise in value.
