"WE'VE GOT 1T"

COALINGA, Aug. THE directors
and some heavy share holders of the
Kaweah Oil & Development company,
section 3O-21-16, visited the property
last week. They speak guardedly Of
the prospects. but the we've got it,
expression on their faces would indi-
cate that conditions are very favor
able. The hole is 300 feet deep with a
rotary. The water was cemented off
at 2200 feet with 5-8-inch casing;
formation dark brown shale, carrying a
large amount of gas.
This property lies about two miles
east of the defined oil measures, and in
consequence of this fact is being
watched closely by owners of land near
this well. The brown shale may be the
cap rock that crops to the surface
through section 25-21-15, where a
sand showing oil traces lies directly
under the brown cap rock.

MIZPAH ENCOUNTERS SILVER
SULPHIDE ORE ON 28O-FT.

SEARCHLIGHT, Aug. 7.-Several
days ago a strike of great Importance
to the future of the mine was made
at the Mizpah, Mob Hill. In a cross
cut run 20 feet in on the 2SOfoot level
high grade silver sulphide ore was en-
countered.
This ore is now being drilled on and
is improving with every additional
foot 1t is following what appears to
be a permanent foot wall and lies in
stringers and seams.
Striking the ore at this depth and
below the fault plane is considered by
superintendent A. x. Wright as sure
indication of permanency. The ore is
the same character as that found in
the upper levels and is of a good ship
ming grade.

SANTA MARIA, Aug. THE Los
Alamos Petroleum company seems to
have at last struck it's gait and ls
now pumping about $50 barrels day.
For months the crew has struggled
with sand, which was aggravated by .
heavy gas pressure heaving the cas-

in proving up large tract of oil
