SMALL OIL COMPANIES
MAY EMBRACE MERGER

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-It is
predicted by competent students of oil
evolution that the bulk of small COM
panies now operating in the fields of
the state will in a few years disap-
pear-merge themselves into larger
and stronger units. Already, it is
pointed out, there are now coming into
being several larger combinations ca
pable of doing this very thing. They
have plenty of funds, which is neces-
sary in the work of producing and
marketing oil, and the progress of
this concentrating of capital, therefore,
will likely come through the process
of sale. Otherwise there will be more
or less difficulty experienced, because
of the still fresh memory of the AS
soeiated merger.
The Petroleum Investment company
of John Baker, jr., and associates
points in this direction. and it would
surprise no one to see some of the
companies controlled by it's officials,
such as the Wabash or Nevada Petro-
leum, exchange their stock for that of
the Investment company. Doheney
and Garfield, too, evidently have
planned big things with their $25,000,-
900 American Oilfelds company-the
capitalization of this company sug-
gesting pipe lines, ocean going tank
steamers and an independent selling
agency.

STEAM SUBDUES GAS
FIRE ON THE UNITY

COALINGA, Jan. 14.-After raging
furiously for two days, the great gas
fire at well No. of the Unity Oil com
pany at Coalinga has at last been ex-
tinguished by means of steam pipes.
Pipes We're laid to the mouth Of the
we'll from adjacent oil property A
mighty gust was turned on the raging
flames with the result that every par
ticle of fire was quencehed. A large
amount of natural gas is still flowing
from the bowels of the earth, but 1t is
believed the supply will soon become
exhausted.
Every effort is being put forth to
keep all fire away from the we'll to pre-
vent further explosions and resultant
conflagration. The loss is estimated at
approximately $4,000. The rig destroyed
last Sunday night was valued at $780,
The explosions on the Unity property
were the largest in the history of Coal
inga field and the fire was undoubtedly
the largest. If the flow of natural gas
continues the we'll may be capped and
the fuel piped into Coalinga. However,
it is hoped to control the flow in order
that an investigation may be made of
the strike. 1t is possible that oil will
now be found in paying quantities.
Before the huge drill penetrated the
shelf where the gas was found there
had been splendid indications of oil, but
the fluid is yet to be discovered.
The steel sections with which the bor-
ing was done are thirty-five feet in
length and fouEeand one-half inches in
diameter. These TOOLS weighing two
tons, were found near the mouth of the
well buried about eight feet in the
ground.

BUNKER HILL OIL
PROPERTY is SOLD

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 14.-W. S.
Boggs, superintendent for the Imperial
and the Thirty three Oil companies, in
connection with the United States and
British company of Boston, have pur-
chased the Bunker Hill properly, con-
sisting of 260 acres in the proven belt
of the Kern River field, and in conse-
ouence extensive development work is
to be started at once.
The land is located in section 20,
2S-28, being the 120 acres in the north
east Quarter and 140 acres in the south
west quarter. The Akron is situated on
the latter quarter and the Prosperity
on the northeast quarter each compa-
nv having small holdings.
Fifteen rigs are to be erected and
five strings of tools put to work.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-15

been renewed activity and the old
Leadville mine has been acquired by
the California and Paradise Mining
company, which has installed new ma
chinery and is developing an ore body
which from the upper levels yielded
over $1,000 worth of high-grade silver
lead ore.
Several properties are under active
development in this section which
until last year had remained almost
dormant for five or six years.
One of the most promising young
camps of the county is that of john
son in the Dragon mountains, north
of Dragon, on the Southern Pacific
railroad with which it is connected
by railroad. Here the Empire Copper
and Gold Mining company and others
have made great progress.
The Arizona United Mining company
in October completed the erection of
125-ton smelter, which is now being
successfully operated on ore from that
company's mines and also undertaking
the treatment of custom ores from
neighboring properties.
The ore bodies in this camp bear
great resemblance in their occurrence
to those in the Bisbee district, and
there are strong indications that some
important mines will be developed.

The United oil company, operating in
Section Six. North Midway, has let a
contract to the Standard for 200, 900 bar
reis of oil at Go cents barrel, and will
lay pipe line to the well at once, ao-
cording to advices from the field yester-
day. The well is located only short
distance from the Santa Fe gusher which
has made an average of 1900 barrels
day.
This is the lowest quantity contract
the Standard has accepted at So cents.
At first the Standard offered SO cents for
100000 barrels, but Q. IT, whittier, the
manager of the United Oil company,
finally succeeded in inducing the stand
ard to raise to 65 cents.
1t Is believed the light oil of the
North Midway field will command even
a higher price in the near future.

ASSOCIATED LETS
AGENCY OIL STAND

COALINGA, Jan. 14.-The Associated
Oil company has not moved a barrel
of agency oil since the first of the year
Trouble with the pipe line, due to
breakage by contraction from the
cold, has put the carrier out of condi-
tion, and from all indications it will be
week or ten days before the line is
in shape to carry OIL
The cold of last night again caused
damage and the line broke in three
places.
What oil the Associated is moving is
from the companies selling on cheap
contracts, and the supply is being put
into storage. The Associated has two
more 55, 900 barrel tanks under con-
struction.
The Producers Transportation COM
pany is making every effort possible
to complete it's line. and from the
present prospects will be ready to car
ry oil over the mountains by the mid
die of February.
Leases throughout the field are pro-
ducing, but not delivering, and unless
relief is had soon the congestion will
be general. The American Petroleum
company has more than 100000 barrels
on the ground.

OLD MIDWAY CRUDE
WELL EXCEEDS 800
BARRELS AS GUSHER

Although the Eagle Creeks gusher on
sf-se-2s. Midway, has not yet been fin
ished, the well is yielding over 500 bar
rels of oil day and there seems rea-
son to believe it will develop into as
great producer as It's neighbor, the
Santa Fe, a few hundred feet away
This well is the old Midway Crude No.
2, which has been deepened. Originally
1t produced about 100 barrels of heavy
oil per day, but on being sunk to depth
of 1000 feet 1t turned out to be as
spectacular as its owners might wish.
Well No. is to be drilled in the south
west corner OF the lease considerably
nearer the Santa Fe's gusher. The rig
was put up before the company's own
big well had been opened

over a typewritten application by II.

quire rights, privileges and franchises
to construct and operate line of rail-
road of standard gauge from Fresno to
Coalinga for term of fifty years.
No member of the board knows either
petitioner, and the supervisors say
that the request was their first intima-
ton of a third Richmond in the field
for a Fresno Coalinga road. The only
suggestion or hint as to the identity
of either petitioner was that the first

GOVERNMENT MAKES FIRST MOVE

New York.-The government came

that manipulating the cotton market
is against the law. James A. Patten,
of Chicago. and seven lesser figures in
the speculative field have been indict-
ed. charged with conspiracy in re-

Most Amazing Tribute Ever Given an

that time in the morning in the history
of those eternal waters roared at him,
a multitude of whistles screamed al
him, guns Numbered at him, the sun

was in many ways the most amazing
tribute which has ever greeted an
American returning from far shores.
The stages in the stirring welcome
were crowded into hardly more than
three hours. At $3.50 o'clock am. Mr..
Roosevelt left the steamship amid the
roar of big guns from battleships and
land forts, and a pandemonium OF
steam whistles from craft and the fac.
tories along the water front. Then,
aboard the revenue cutter Androscog.
gin he moved at the head of an impos
ing marine parade up the Hudson river
to Riverside drive, and back again u

sembled multitude along the water
front.

GILLETTE GETS IN GAME
GOVERNOR STIRRED TO ACTION
BY iNSISTENT PROTESTS.
Sporting Men Cast Down-Death knell
Believed To Be Sounded for Fight
ing In California.

San Francisco.-Stirred to action by
insistnt protests from all parts of
the state. Gov. James N. Gillette took
steps Wednesday to prevent the cham
pionship fight between James ]. JEFF
fries and Jack Johnson, scheduled to
be held in this city July 4.
In letter to Attorney General u.
S. Webb, the governor expressed his
disapproval of prize fighting in I'M
measured terms and directs that the
aid of the courts be invoked to pre-
vent the match, and concludes with a
positive order that In case the plea
for restraining order is not granted
and the fight is held, the attorney gen.
eral proceed to gather evidence and
prosecute the principals and those in
terested in the fight for violation of
the penal code of the state.
The letter declares the supreme
court of California has never defined
a priz fight and suggests an opportu-
nifty to indicate the governors inten
ton to press his opposition to the end
and while the status of the Jeffries-
johnson fight is in an unsettled condi
ton tonight, the sporting fraternity
is much cast dow and it is generally
believed the death lsnell of prize fight.

WARM DAYS WANTED
PLANT is BACKWARD AND NOT
GROWING FAST.
Rainfall Excessive on the Atlantic Sea-
board, Washing tho Fields and De-
laying Cultivation.

Memphis. Tenn.-The past week was
favorable 20 the cotton crop, except
IN the two Carolinas and parts Of Geor-
gia, where the rainfall was excessive,
washing the fields and delaying Guilt
walton so that grass is feared. North
Carolina fields were damaged by flood
ing. Elsewhere 1t appears that week
Of bright sunshine will repair much of
the loss.
The crop has not grown rapidly and
Is still small for the season. The plant
generally looks healthy. however, and
would grow very fast with high tenn
peratures day and night. 1t would
seem that week of dry weather would
put the crop in excellent shape as to
cultivation throughout the South.
In Texas the soil is dry, but as yet
little hurt has been received Moisture
is needed. however, to stimulate plant
growth. Boil wevils do not appear nu-
merous, although In Mississippi and
some sections OF Louisiana they are
more so.
In general, dry weather is needed
east of Texas and Oklahoma, while
rains would be beneficial In these two
staten.
