eruption. The new strikes near by
appear to have no appreciable effect
upon this monster of the field.
The most sensational of the new per-
formers is the Consolidated Midway.
Advices from Bakersfield bring re-
markable tale of this wells activity.
1t is proba BILE that there has been an
exaggeration Of its capa bilities.
The dispatch from the fields states
that the well, which came in June %,
was given it's head last Friday and
proceeded to fill to one-third its capac-
ity a 10000 barrel sump hole in one
hour. The standard of measurement
was necessarily indefinite, so the eX-
act flow will not be known until an
accurate test can be made. 1t is said
that the Consolidated Midway is under
such control that it can be handled at
will. 1t is located just mile to the
east of the Lakeview.
According to the California Oil World,
the Mays we'll has been flowing again
from $500 to 1000 barrels day. The
work OF installing a Texas strainer,
said this same authority, was success
fully done, the strainer being driven
into the sand with rotary drill The
flow is steady and the gas under per-
feet control, a blowout preventer hay
ing been used.
The Palmer No. was sanded up for
two weeks, but has cleared itself and
at last reports was said to be yielding
1900 barrels daily.

eight different claims, making a total
of $50 acres. In this case he must
put down eight wells-one for every
20 acres. On q consolidated claim.
however, only one well need be drilled.
This is very important in oil mining.
where wells may cost anywhere from
$4,000 TO 100000.
Under the decision of the California
supreme court, affirmed by the United
States supreme court. and according to
the undertaking practice of the land
office for 20 years, eight men might To-
cate $50 acres as a consolidated loca-
ton and at once convey 1t to one man
or corporation, and the grantee can
go ahead and get his title by drilling
one well to discovery, just is though
it were still held by the eight.
Last year the assistant secretary of
the interior decided that if eight per-
sons located consolidated placer min
ing claim and conveyed the land before
discovery 10 one person or TO one cor
poration, the location lost its attribute
as a consolidated claim, and one well
would carry title to only 20 acres. OF
course, if the property remained in the
hands of the eight locators until dis
covery was made, and was then con-
veyed to a single grantee, one well
would give patent to the full $50 acres.
There is no appeal from this decision
stands by its ruling rather a peculiar
situation will result. A single grantee
of q consolidated location will be un-
able to get patent for more than 20
acres on one we'll. / am satisfied, how
ever, that the courts will protect his
possession of the whole $50 acres as
against any person who sought to take
IL from him.
Take the case of an oil company
that has bought $50 acres from eight
locaters prior TO the discovery Of oil.
II puts down one well and makes a.
discovery. On making an application
for a patent, the land Office would re-
fuse the application, except as to the
20 acres on which the we'll is located
Whereas, if some third party attempted
to go on the land the courts would
undoubtedly protect the corporation to
the extent of the whole $50 acres.
-.All the lard in the Withdrawn area,
on which no work is being done, is no
longer open to location. 1t is the in
tention IF the govel nment to formulate
some legislation at the next session OF
congress for the disposition of this
withdrawn oil land. 1t is unlikely that
any oil lands will ever be disposed of
by the government under the placer
mining laws from this time on"

SAN JUAN FIELDS
ATTRACT ATTENTION
Improved Transportation Facili-
ties Aid Oil Industry

The San Juan oil fields in Utah have
come in for increased attention by rea-
son of the improved transportation fa-
cilities to the territory. The Santa Fe
has made plans to operate line of
automobiles from Gallup, n. NJ, to
Goodrich. the town in the center of the
fields. The distance is 10 miles. There
IS now a stage road between the two
points, but the highway will be greatly
improved for automobiles. The citi-
zens of Gallup and Goodrich are Coop
Grating with the Santa Fe. By the new
auto line the run from Gallup to Good
rich will be made in day.
There is talk of pipe line to Salt
Lake and in case this is constructed a
refinery will be built.
1t is stated that by September some
so rigs will be in operation. Contrac-
tors are offering to drill at 81 a foot
Among the companies operating in
the San Juan field are the following:
The San Juan and San Francisco, the Good

REPORTED SALE in
MIDWAY IS DENIED
Isaac Strasburger Says He Will
Keep st. Lawrence Property
for Income Purposes

Advices from Bakersfield were received
yesterday to the effect that the Asso-
ciatej oil company. in line with its
recently adopted policy of obtaining
rich producing territory, had acquired
the ST. Lawrence property in the Mid
way The report was denied by Isaac
Strasburger, chief owner of the ST.
Lawrence Strasburger said that he
proposed to keep the ST. Lawrence for
income purposes. 1T has been a good
revenue producer and was one of the
first successful companies in the
North Midway.
1t will be recalled that Strasburger
recently sold the Pioneer Midway to
the Associated for s3.0OO,O00. The pur-
chase was made by the big corporation
to make sure of an adequate supply
to meet its existing contracts.
It is no secret that the Associated
is short of oil. IN the Pioneer Mid
way it has acquired control of one of
the most promising portions of the
North Midway. Well No. 2. which came
as great gusher and later sanded up,
is now yielding steadily at the rate of
5000 barrels a day.
The supply of the Associated has been
affected naturally by the formation of
the Producers agency. A large per-
centage of the independents have con-
tracted their output to this cooperative
concern for a period of 10 years. The

in the market, as 1t once could, and

very big proportion of the supply tied,
UP to the agency. To meet the demands
of its growing business 1T set about to
purchase producing companies.
Some of the long term contracts
with the producers are in such shape
that the Associated may cancel them
