company, which Is now operating a re-
finery at Twenty-second street ana
Santa Fe avenue, claims to have dls-
covered a process by which its PROD
ucts NAV be obtained at lower cost
than formerly.
Instead of using large number OF
operations to obtain the gasollhe,
ether, coal oil or whatever product is
desired, the process now being used py
the company enables 1t TO eXlract
every one of the sixty-eight producls
at the same operation, 1t is SAD.
About 1900 barrels are being rehneo
daily at the Los Angeles plant, four
stills being used. The capacity VIII

rels daily. -.
A site also has been secured for the
erection of a $1,000,000 plant at san re
dro in which the new methods of op-
Grafton will be used. Plans have peef
drawn and work will be begun IN the
near future. The company now Is con,
sidering the purchase of Bakersfeio

SAN LUIS BAY WELL
SHOWS SLIGHT SIGNS

SAN LUIS OBIsPO, Feb. 14.-The
San Luis Bay well at Edna is beginning
to show ''signs." The well is now down
close to 1900 feet. At about 800 1eet
chocolate shale was encountered. Re
Gently the shale was penetrated and the
drill is now working in a hard gray
formation that looks like a mixture or
shale and sea sand. Considerable gas
has been developed and the slickins
show some oil. Manager Al Grant or
the California liquid asphalt works sub
mitted some of the oil to chemical
test and it shows light percentage OF
paraff1n.
The water has been cased off long ago
and the drilIers are able to bale out the
hole until 1t is dry. They are still us
ing a hempen cable, which makes II
slow but sure work.
OF course the showing of oil is noth-
ing to found another oil excitement on,
but one thing seems pretty well as
sured--when they stop drilling they will
know whether or not they have run
into oil formation. If they get well
1t will start drilling in number OF
places in this neighborhood.

force. These rates will not only be
effective on the coast but will extend
over the country, probably as far east
as Pittsburg, from which point large
delegration of coal mine operators Is
expected.
Another matter to be taken up Is
the appointment of q representation OF
two to urge at Washington the pass
age of the bureau Of mines bill on
western senators. Sidney Norman, sec
retary of the Sierra Madre club, has
been suggested by President Buckley
of the congress as one of the repre-
sentatives on this mission. Mr.. Nor
mans acquaintance among western
senators and mining men will probaDly
act favorably with members of the
Sierra Madre club at the meeting to-
night.
Another matter to be decided at to-
nights meeting is the appointment
from among the membership OF the
club a member to serve on the general
revision of mining laws committee,
and q member to serve on the com
mittee for the adjustment and regula-
ton of mining frauds.
Bob Montgomery in the Lead
In the coming convention President
Montgomery of the Sierra Madre club
will take the lead, and it is said that
from now until the convention is called
the wheels of the local affiliate will be
in vigorous operation. Nothing will be
left undone or neglected and the CON
vention will undoubtedly stamp Los
Angeles as a mining center of the 100
per cent class.
A general committee of arrangements
will be named and put to work With
out delay. 1t will labor for the success
of the convention and the interests OF
the city and contiguous territory. Ihe
club win ask that a representation be
chosen from among the several com
mercial bodies, including the chamber
of commerce, chamber of mines, Mer-
chants and Manufacturers ana othefs
in Los Angeles. San Diego, san trah-
cisco and in cities of Nevada, Arizona
New Mexico and Mexico.
All members of the Sierra Madre
club are urged to be present at the Dig
meeting tonight and get together on
the biggest thing of it's kind that mas
ever happened here or anywhere else.

m HE Sierra Madre club was officia

III HE Sierra Madre club was officially
notified yesterday that the next
- convention of the American Min
ing congress would be held in Los An
geles. This convention, which will
draw mining men from all sections of
the country, will, it is believed, do more
for Los Angeles as a mining head
quarters than anything else that has
ever happened in the great southwest,
of which Los Angeles is the CONNER
cial, fraternal and logical center
The convention was assured Los An
geles some time ago when Spokane. its
opponent for the honor, was unable to
meet the financial pledge necessary to
insure progress in getting mining peo-
pie together and furthering needed
legislation at Washington. Los An
geles, through the local affiliate of the
American Mining congress, the Sierra
Madre club pledged its financial sup
port to the maximum and delivered
the goods without delay. The result
was the official notification yesterday.
The assurance of this convention for
Los Angeles is taken by all leading min
ing men here to mean not only the
largest convention the congress has ever
had but the biggest boost that mining
Los Angeles could possibly get. 1t is
believed that at least 250 local mining
men will attend and with representa-
tions from the east, the north, the in
termountain and Rocky mountain coun-
tries, besides the Pacific coast, Nevada,
Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico will
make up crowd that can only be
reckoned in thousands.
Members VIII Meet
Following the official announcement
is a call of the Sierra Madre club for a
meeting tonight of all members for the
purpose of taking action in connection
with the coming convention.
This meeting will follow a. dinner to
directors of the club, given by e. A.
Montgomery, its new president. The
dinner will be in celebration of the
event.
At the meeting of members sugges-
tions as to the date for the conven-
ton will be given. This Is matter
that will be controlled wholly by rail
road rates. A week next fall will be
selected, when the best rates are in

feet deeper and go into the second sand
which the Esperanza Immediately

COACHELLA, Feb. 14-It is reported
that representatives of the Standard

examination of the oil indications ex-
isting in the foothills to the north and
