Many Big Tracts Are Purchased

The Sunset, Maricopa and Midway

among the foreign investors. Follow

for $4,000 has come the statement
that other British companies are nego-
tiating for lands in that section. For

the properties to the south. The Mas

for the Monte Cristo holdings near the

The sale of the Mount Diablo tract in
the Midway for $1,500,O00 has been con-
firmed.
Among the recent strikes reported is
that of the K. T. and o. whose we'll is
said to have produced at the rate of
between 5000 and 10000 barrels "a day.
The K. T. and o. is Southern Pacific

OILMEN MAY join
Mining CONGRESS
Operators Who Favor Proposal
to Meet Los Angeles Dele
CATION at Bakersfield

Conferences have been held this
week in Bakersfield, San Francisco and
Los Angeles looking to the entrance of
the oilmen of California into the ranks
Of the American mining congress.> At
the base of the plan is the belief that
mutual benefit will accrue. The min
ing men realize that the presence of
the oilmen in their membership will
give them an enhanced prestige. To the
oilmen is offered the hope of unified
body through which they can act in
emergencies similar to that presented
by the Pickett bill
Meetings will be held during the next
few weeks at which the sentiment of
the oilmen viii be sounded. A dis
patch from Bakersfield says:
The proposal recently made that the
oilmen associate themselves with the
American mining congress has been
given further impetus by the recent
visit here of operators favoring such
a movement.
CONFERENCE IN JULY
"The plan is to have the oilmen of
the various districts of the San Joa-
quin valley meet q representative dele
cation from Los Angeles some time in
July under the auspices of the cham
Der of commerce 1t is the purpose of
this meeting TO arrange some way by
which the oilmen may enter the Amer
lean mining congress as a body.
The American mining congress is
made up at present of mining and coal
operators, as well as smelling men.
With the addition of the oilmen the
allied interests will have been har-
monized.
ORGANIZATION NEEDED
"The lack of close organization
among the oilmen was emphasized
when hostile legislation was pending
at Washington. The oilmen had no
central body with full authority to
make the fight. Instead a few of the
boljer struck out on their own ac-
count and Waged the battle.
"By the recent victory of the rep
resentatives of the American mining
congress in securing the passage of a
bill through congress providing for
the establishment of a federal bureau
of mines, after a three years fight
against determined opposition, the
American mining congress has proved
itself a power in shaping national
legislation. With a bureau of mines
established at Washington with a
capable head it is recognized that the
mining congress will be still better
fortified in requesting reforms in legis-
lation. It is this feature OF the situa-
tion that has appealed with special
force to the oilmen."

STRIKE IN SANDS OF

Superintendent Declares Flow
Better Than 100 Barrels

The Los Gatos Mail prints a report
of a strike in one of the wells drilling
near there. The Mail says:
''The Mail had the pleasure Tuesday
afternoon of visiting the new well on

ent Piper concerning the development

The castings used so far are 1215 inch,
and 10 inch castings will be used

STRIKES GOOD FLOW
Oil Forces Its Way Through
Water in 5000 Foot Hole
and Overruns Casing

The most important tidings of the
week from the Santa Maria field tell
of the strike of good oil flow in the
we'll of the New Pennsylvania in the
Cat canyon district. The hole is $500
feet deep and it was the intention to
bail out the water and land the casing
before testing. On Saturday night,
however, while the drillers were at
work, the oil forced its way through
the water and ran over the casing. A
big producer is predicted, but in the
meanwhile efforts will be made to con-
troll the flow.
This extends the proven territory in
the Cat canyon district some distance
from the Palmer property. The we'll
of the West, adjoining the New Penn
sylvania, also gives every promise of
yielding heavily. The hole is full of
OIL The company is controlled jointly
by California and Chicago people.
Word comes from the same district that
the Dome we'll is going to be bonanza.
The well has been filled with water and
capped. AS soon as the necessary ar
rangements have been made for bring
ing it in the cap will be taken off and
there is sufficient pressure of gas to
force the water out of the hole and a
big flowing well is looked for. Experts
say the we'll is going to be the equal
of the Palmer, which began flowing at
the rate of 5000 barrels a day only a
short time ago. The Dome owners
have procured large steel tank from
the Brookshire oil company to hold
some of the oil and arrangements
have been made for other storage.
The original Palmer gusher has in
creased its flow during the last few
weeks, yielding at the rate of approx
inately 1900 barrels day. Palmer
Annex will soon have two strings of
tools running on that portion of it's
property lying between the Palmer and
the Los Alamos petroleum. The COM
pany has already developed a water
supply sufficient for its own use. with a
balance that will he sold among the
neighboring companies.
