CONSOLIDATED MIDWAY
STARTS IN KERN FIELD

The Consolidated Midway, which
is gradually extending its operations
in the Midway field, is to drill ten
wells on it's Kern river property, so
acres in the southwest quarter of sec
ton q, 2S-2S Three strings of tools
will be started at once, preliminary
work now being done.
E. A Wiltse. the well known New
York mining engineer who is inter-
ested in the company and has recent
ly taken charge of the general ex-
ecutive work, was in Bakersfield last
week with O. f. Monnette, the Los
Angeles attorney, who is also inter-
ested in the same company. With j.
NJ Danziger they are inspecting the
west side properties, which consist of
three holdings, a lease from the Jade
on section Is, 1928 on which their No.
l we'll is down 1920 feet; No. l on frac-
tional 80, 1928 is down 7S4, while on
section so the derrick is up and prep
erations are being made for drilling.
Mr.. Wiltse is enthusiastic over the
prospect of the oil industry and has
assumed management of the Consoli-
dated Midway affairs. He is a busi-
ness partner of John Hays Hammond
in number of mining properties and
apparently likes the oil business as
we'll if not better than mining.

CALIFORNIA EXPORTS
EXPAND To INCLUDE
DOMINION OF CANADA

SAN FRANCISCO. April Ship
ments of crude oil from this customs
district to Chile, Guatemala, Panama,
Peru. Salvador, German and French
Oceanica and Canada in 1909 amount
ed to ], ,0000 900 barrels, valued at $454,-
Cpl A feature of the exports were the
shipments to Canada. No crude was
exported to that country in 1908, while
in 1909, 1916 barrels were shipped
there Crude exports to every coun-
try served. except Guatemala. in
creased in 1909 Panama and Chile
have extended their oil fuel greatly.
The business in February and March.
1870 also shows a material increase
over the same months of 1909. During
the first fifteen days of March car
go left Port Hartford for Panama
amounting to 1.S90,000 gallons, or 45,-
600 barrels valued at $4,000 and two
for Chile, amounting to total Of
5,074 600 gallons, or 120,S09 barrels, val
ued at $5S,200 Thus the total for two
months and a half is S359,S45 barrels,
valued at S209.S00 over 33 per cent
in quantity and over 30 per cent
in valuation. During 1908 the entire
expectation of crude was 426,026 barrels,
valued at S215000. Thus shipments for
the first two months and a half of 1910
exceeded those of the whole of 1908
by SO. 319 barrels.
This years shipments of crude are
those of the agencies, as the Union
is one of their members and their
sales agent. and all the oil Is pooled.
That the business is growing is a good
sign for them.

The American Petroleum is continu-

In addition to these two new pro-

four more in the sand and about ready
to be on the producing list. in addition
to several others which will soon be
drilled in.
The properties of the American Pc
troleum at Coalinga are the scene OF
great activity and operations are being
generally extended.
North 80 is proving to be very pro-
ductive property, and one of the great
est wells in the west side district Is
drilled there. This is No. 3, ana has
been maintaining an average daily pro-
duction of 1900 to 1000 barrels since the

The company is installing additional
facilities for handling its production.

Forty gas engines have been ordered
for work on the different drilling wells.
Two have been installed and are in
operation with satisfactory results.
BEGINS on SECTION SIX
Recent development on the w. X.
and Mohawk property. along with
other work in the locality caused the
company to begin operations on its
section 6, 20-15 property. Five rigs
will be started there in the very near
future. Bunkhouses, 2SX100, are be-
ing constructed along with cook
house, 72xl8, wash house and bath
house for the accommodations of the
men. 1900 barrel water tank has been
installed on the hill and three miles
of four-inch pipe has been laid to sup
ply the operations, The drilling will
be rushed ahead as fast as possible.

The American Petroleum has one

work is being pushed rapidly forward.
Tom Crumpton has direct supervision
over the work. T. A. O'Donnell is the
field manager of the company, but
since the organization of the Amer

Underneath the shell the bit en-

LIGHT OIL SAND UNDERUES
SUNSET DISTRICT, IS THEORY

good, it is thought that the sand Will
be thoroughly explored.
The Ananconda, which is also drill
ing a test we'll in section Il, 11-24
lends further support TO the theory.
The No. IA we'll. which is being drilled
for a lower sand, went into a deeper
pay streak at 200 feet Sunday after
having gone through a water sand.
Wells on this property were finished
up between 1900 and 1900 feet.
The water sand which underlies the
producing stratum at this depth was
thought to be the drilling limit but
by the recent drilling a second sand
has been tapped. The quality has
not been generally determined but
those acquainted with the operations
declare it TO be light oil bearing.
If a production is obtained from the
lower depths generally throughout the
field. the value of the producing sec
ton of Sunset will easily double.

The Story of Buttons.

The Elizabeth era gave vogue
to the button and buttonhole, two
inventions which may fairly be
regarded as important, since they
did much to revolutionize dress.
The original button was wholly
a product of needlework, which
was soon improved by the use of
of a wooden mould. The brass
button is said to have been in
PRODUCED by a Birmingham mer-
chant in 1889. 1t took two hun
dred years to improve on the
method Of sewing the cloth upon
the covered button. Then an in
genious Dane hit upon the idea
of making the button in two
parts, and clamping them togeth-
er with the cloth between.
The most important branch Of
the button industry in the United
States is the making Of pearl
buttons, the material for which
is obtained from shells gathered

1t is difficult to realize that
IN the fiscal year 1908 the rail
roads of the United States killed.

of their own employees. When
three or four hundred persons per
iSh in some steamboat disaster or
theater fire, the world stands a.
ghost at the calamity. Yet our
railways have brought about an
average of 32S deaths each month
since 1903. Many a tidy little
city has fewer adult male in

ees whom our railroads killed in
1907.
Injuries are twenty times more
numerous than deaths. Whereas
once in two hours, month in and
month out, a conductor, breakman
switchman, or railway laborer
perishes by accident, one is
manned every six minutes. Last
year six and four tenths per cent
of all the railway employees in
the United States were injured:
thus the chances arc no man can
escape accident for nine years.
No wonder that most of the life

Worst Of all matters are not

statistics appended to this ar

for the last twenty-one years, the
proportion Of employees killed

at about a quarter of one per cent
each year. Not so the proportion

Of accidents should have just a

HORSE IN BARRoOM
Mirrors Produce Natural Result

Habitue.

New York Sun.
a frisky big black horse har-
messed to a truck owned by the
Summit PROBING Company of
lloboken insisted on going due
south at the corner of Fourth and
Hudson streets, that city, yester-
day when its driver tugged on the
reins to indicate a northerly di-
rection, and the horse walked
down four stone steps leading to
the side door of Barney Bucks
basement saloon.
The front wheels Of the truck
jammed against a railing and the
animal came to a sudden stand
still with its fore feet inside the
building. 1t was found impossi-
bic to back the horse up the Steps
and Policeman John Rabold and
a committee on first aid to
wrong end foremost horses de
cided that the only way to rescue
him was to permit him to finish
his trip through the saloon. The
driver unhitched the animal and
started to lead it into the bar
room to the great establishment
of the proprietor, who wanted to
know what right he had to
bring a horse into the saloon
without permission.
As the animal was led in front
oil the bar it caught sight Of an
other big black horse in the mir
rOrs along the back bar and
started to prance. So did the
other horse and for a few min
utes Rabold and the driver had
hard work to keep the highly ner-
vous animal from doing serious
damage. A longshoreman who
had been seeing double for an
Q
hour or more imagined that the
place was full Of prancing horses
and lit out with a whoop. The
horse wasw finally urged through
the front door Of the saloon, but
the barroom for the purpose Of
its pilots had to back him into
removing the harness. Then
they tried the exit again and the
horse cleared it in fine shape.
No drinks were sold during the
excitement and nobody thought
OF offering the nag anything. Pol
