MAY HELP M'KITTRIcK

McKITTRICK, oct 14.-A strike that
may mean a great deal to the McKit-
trick field and that territory west OF
1t, has Just been made, and the result
of the pumping test now being carried
on is awaited with great interest.
The Mahaske Oil company, on sec
tion 36-29-21, has completed its No.
well at 1850 feet. 1t has 300 feet of
sand, and from all accounts will prove
to be fair producer. This well is one
mile west OF the famous Niearema
well, the pioneer well Of the locality.
The Nicarema was drilled by Jim
O'Donnell, and was the first we'll to
reach oil on the McKittrick front Op-
erations have been conducted in this
territory for the past year with very
little result A promising showing has
been reported from time to time, but
as yet no real producing well has been
brought in. The Mahaske company
has Just perforated it's well, and it is
now being put on the pump The sue
cess of the well will add another mile
to the producing belt.

MINE NEAR PHOENIX
RETURNS RICH VALUES

PHOENIX, Oct 14.-After going
over the ground of the Mammoth mine
at Goldfield, panning gold from ore
taken right off the surface and explor-
ing all the lower workings now opened,
]. E. Nelson declares that the stories
told of the wonderful richness of this
property have greatly understated the
true facts.
Nelson is not interested in the Nam
moth mine. In fact. no one is largely
interested in it personally except
George u. Young, secretary of Arizona,
who took it over last spring and start
ed development work. But Nelson de-
sired to inspect the mine and see for
himself whether the accounts given
by Secretary Young and others were
true. Not only were they true, he
says, but only a small part of the truth
was told. His many years experience
in the mining business enabled him
to quickly tell that the Mammoth is a
gold mine of untold wealth.
He picked up ore from the surface
in which gold was visible to the naked
eye, and saw the yellow metal horned
out. Though only a part of the val
ues can be extracted by horning, a
long stringer of gold was left in the
bottom of the PAN

LADY WASH LANDS
CASING IN SHALE
Water Is Believed to Be Shut Off
in Sunset Property
Well

In we'll No. 1 of the Lady Washing
ton, Sunset district, the S-inch casing
has been landed in brown shale at a
depth of 2160 feet and indications are
that the mater has been completely
shut off. The well will be allowed to
stand for a few days to determine, alb
solutely, when drilling will again be
started. 1t is believed that the main
oil Sand will be found in about 100 to
$50 feet of drilling as this is about the
depth at which the sand has been en-
countered in other wells in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
Jewell Oil companys well No. IL,
Kern river district, is down 116O feet
and is, expected to be finished within
the next few days. The well is ex-
pected to come in fully up to the aver
age of those recently finished and pro-
ducing The property is in the west
ern portion of the district.
Drilling on No. of the Ventura OIL
Development company on its 100 acre
tract at Piru, Ventura county, is again
in progress, a new standard derrick
having been erected and other i'm
provements completed. This we'll
should shortly enter into the produc-
tive stage.

AGREEMENT oUIETs FEAR

COALINGA, Oct. 14-The signing of
the agreement between the Associated
Oil company and the Independent Pro-
ducers' agency has produced marvel
Gus change already in Coalinga and
the Coalinga field. No sooner had the
word spread that the Associated and
the Agency had joined hands than the
town of Coalinga became practically
deserted of life. The operators all
hastened to the fields and are now
working with might and main. Every
we'll that was shut down because of
the inability Of the Agency to handle
the supply is now preparing to open
up and some are already opened up
and once more oil is flowing in large
quantities.
The effect of this agreement was
more far reaching in Coalinga than in
any other California field owing to
the fact that the Agency controls such
a large proportion of the output in
this field

PIERCE WILL CONFER
WITH OIL MEN TODAY
Assistant Secretary of interior
Hopes to Solve Problem
Vital to Industry

California oil men, representing all
factions in the industry, will meet at
Symphony hall at 10 o'clock this morn
ing to confer with Frank Pierce, as
sistant secretary of the interior, who
is here for the purpose of making an
investigation into conditions now eX-
listing and to learn what the oil men
wish. He desires to get the informa-
tion first hand, from the oil men, and
for the sake of accuracy all the argu-
ments and questions and answers at
this meeting and subsequent meetings
will be worked into stenographic re-
ports These reports will be revised
and later sent to Washington.
The California Oil Mems association
has sent a delegation to Los Angeles
to confer with Mr.. Pierce, and other
organizations will be represented at
the meeting today. Mr. Pierce says he
does not think he will be able to hear
everybody at the one meeting, and
for that reason an adjournment will
be made until Monday morning at the
close of the meeting today, which will
last until 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Pierce expects to remain in Los
Angeles until Thursday, if necessary,
and if it is thought advisable he will
make a personal inspection of the oil
fields, although he says that would not
be productive of very much good to
the cause of the oil men, as he is not a
geologist but an engineer. His object
in coming here is to find out what the
oil men wish and need, and he believes
that If there is a sufficient representa-
tion at the meetings it will not be
necessary for him to go to the fields.
However, that is a matter he will
decide later.
OF the oil situation Mr.. Pierce says:
LAS to the solution, 1 suppose oil
men want either a more liberal con-
struction of the statute permitting in
dications of oil to be considered equiv
alent to discovery, or else that con-
gress shall amend the law giving pros
pectors exclusive possession for def
mite length of time, thereby protecting
them in their tentative rights"
Oil men will in all probability take
keen interest in this opportunity to
present their views direct TO one of
the assistants of the department of
the interior, and take advantage of the
opportunity to discuss in detail the
various rulings Of the land office, par
ticularly in the Yard and Mesmer
cases, as Secretary Pierce is extremely
anxious to have these decisions dis
cussed from all standpoints.

15, II, 10, 21, 49, 20, 81, 33 35 and hall
of 3, three -fourths of IL and 400 acres
of 1S, a total of 10, 100 acres, the value
of most of which is still problematical
In Midway the railroads holdings
amount to l., 400 acres. In 1928 it has
still standing in its own name all of /,
3, IL and all of 13, total of 1850 acres.
In S1-23 it has all of 5, 7, 9, is, 21, %, rs,
q, 20, SO and 80, half of II and 13 g
total of 1900 acres. In 1924, lying south
and east of Taft and extending to
Buena Vista lake, the railroad has a
total of sixteen complete sections, a
total of 1920 acres.
In 31-24 in the Elk Hills, where the
Associated, Balfour- -Guthrey, Barno-
don, Midway Basin and several others
are at work, the railroad has ten sec
tions, a total of 6400 acres. In 1924
it has 6720 acres. This gives the COM
pany a grand total in the West Side
fields of Kern 53, 480 acres. Some of
this land is proven, practically all Of it
is excellent prospect ground.
s4,4OO ACRES ALL TOLD
Thus it will be seen that the railroad
holds and claims 84, 400 acres in proved
and the Immediately prospective oil
fields above named, besides it's other
lands referred to and that which it has
leased to other oil producers 1t is
impossible to estimate just what it has
in few other sections, but this com
prises the bulk of its holdings. 1t is
easy to see how much it has at stake
should the government attempt to re-
woke its patents.
The demand that the government at
tack the title of the Southern Pacific
oil holdings in California lands received
in the federal grants involves esti-
mated values totaling $500,000000, ac-
cording to the geological survey. Should
the government proceed to recover coal
deposits taken up as agricultural land,
approximately $150,000,0OO would be
added to the stakes. OF the 10000, 900
or 30,000,OO0 acres held by others than
the railroads only about 100000 acres
were purchased from the government
as mineral land.
Applying the principle on which the
demand as regards the oil holdings Is
based, the lands bearing precious met
ais in all the railroad grant areas along
the Northern Pacific lines should re-
vert to the government. The geologi-
cal survey will attempt no estimate
of the value of these other than to de-
clare it to be several billions.
An interesting phase of this new
question that is attracting national in
terest is that it has been a common
practice for the railroads in selling the
lands to reserve expressly for them
selves whatever minerals might be
found at any future time.

FRENCH ExPERT. THINKS
U. S. TARIFF TOO HIGH

That the present tariff schedule is
too high and the United States may
suffer commercially as a result, is the
opinion of Louis Gelis-Didot, minister
of commerce of France, who is in Los
Angeles on a tour of the United States
to study commercial conditions. Mon
sieur Didot makes this tour about once
in every five years. He has arrived
at the conclusion that the tariff is too
high for the good of the country, and
predicts that the United States will
wish it was lower.
In the course of his travels he al
ways visits Los Angeles, and expressed
himself yesterday as amazed at the
size and growth of this city in. the
past five years.
