In diamond language carat is equal
to four grains. but II Is not customary
among merchants to speak Of carats
under twelve grains. Many difficulties
in the trade are due to the fact that
the carat of France is lighter than that
of Leipzig. which has one lighter than
the carats OF Holland and Antwerp.
Attempts to establish universal

The tubing or casing that is put down
from top to bottom of an oil well can
ordinary be capped by the use Of
valves at the top OF the we'll. but with
the Lakeview that was impossible.
There was no practical method of ap-
plying weights or force sufficient to
restrain tine great pressure coming up
from the depths OF the earth: and had
II been possible to do so. the destruc-
ton of the casing and the ruin OF the
well would probably nave resulted.
Such a problem had never been pre-
sented TO oil men before. But. after
many efforts. It was solved. and the
solution seemed as simple as It was
efficient.
Working in a shower OF oil, a large
number Of men built rapidly around
the top OF the we'll huge bank. which
was buttressed with stones and with
sacks Of sand and earth. This tank
filed quickly with oil. into which the

huge caldron. small river of oil
flows as gently as a brook from the
well to the reservoirs
At first II was impossible to ap-
proach the we'll nearer than a mile
without being spattered with oil. Peo-
pie who travelled from all parts of the
state to see the gusher watched II
from adjacent hills. Now visitors can
go within a few feet Of the well. They
are watched constantly by more than
a score of guards. whose principal
business It is to see that there are no
lighted cigars or matches that might
start a consagration.

The Worlds Greatest Oil Well

HNWXE iTUATED two miles north
EsfMS or Maricopa, in Kern
IA ~ county. California. in
E$sQ ES what is known as the
RSEN0S5! Kern River oil field.
there is the greatest oil
well known to the world. Il is known
as Lakeyiew No. /. For some months
II has been spouting forth daily ay-
erage of $4,000 barrels of oil, worth
65 cents a barrel where it gushes
from the earth.
This extraordinary well has an In
teresting history. Its sinking was be-
gun In the summer Of 1909. and by
October a depth OF nearly 1900 feet
had been reached. At that point the
drill encountered an enormous pres
sure. which forced earth. gravel. and
rock upward in the hole for a dis
tance OF several feet New wells are
often filled in that way. the matter
forced upward in the tube being so
loose that It can be removed with a
bailer. In the present case. however.
the well was packed so tightly that
redrilling was necessary.
Sometimes the drillers would gain
on the pressure in the earth: at other
times they would lose. The result
was that In five months. or to March
Is. 1910. the net increase in depth
of the bore was only so feet The
well had been sunk into an oil sand,
but II was believed that by going
to a greater depth the chance Of
securing a large flow of oil would be
Increased. Finally. however. when
lfive months work had accomplished
no greater result than is often gained
in single day under ordinary cir-
cumstances. the directors OF the COM
pany owning the Lakeview well de-
.cided that 1t would be unwise to try
10 drill farther. The local superin-
sendent. accordingly. was INSTRUCTED
to stop drilling and to permit the well
ITO begin producing at the depth
reached.
