The Lake View gusher is probably
the most remarkable well ever drilled
in California.

with production modestly estimated
at 10000 barrels a day. and by 2 o'clock

Al this time the oil shot 20 feet above

The great stream of oil continued to
increase and reached gradually a
height of 250 feet above the der

wide area, and the atmosphere was
hlled with oil, resembling rain. For
miles around the gusher the air was
charged with the oil, and at one time

and the greatest care was exercised to
feep fire from igniting it.
The Lake View has established a rec

proving up a large area of land has
extended the territory of the great

The history of the Lakeview oil COM
pany is an interesting one. The prop
erty upon which this we'll is situated
was originally secured for the Rice
ranch oil company. of which some of
the Lakeview directors are officials, but
the stock holders of the Rice ranch de-
clined 10 approve the purchase The
property was then turned over to the
Santa Maria crude oil company and the
controlling interest later sold to the
Union. The stock Of the Lakeview was
originally put out at so cents per share
and could probably have been pur-
chased a much lower rate. Four as
sessments of 10 cents per share each
have been paid. making the stock cost
the present holders 80 cents per share.
