1000 barrels of oil daily. and in addition
to supplying a large local demand III
the vicinity, 10000 barrels have been
delivered to the Standard Oil company
on its 1000, 600 barrel contract. 1t is
expected there will be ten more deliV-
cries of 2000 barrels each on this con-

CLUBMAN WALKS so MILES
IN19 HOURS; WINS $1,000
Dispute Started in Discussion of
Walk Made by Weston

NEW YORK, May 14.-Sitting
around log fire in the Meadow Brook
club house a few nights ago, Edward
A. Crowinshield, a banker of Man
haitian; Robert r. Potter a nephew
of the late Bishop Potter, and Edward
Matthews were discussing the con-
tnental walk which E. p. Weston has
finished.
Matthews reused his companions as
serting he could walk fifty miles inside
twenty -four hours. "YOu can't do it
for a thousand challenged one of his
companions. A $1,000 bet was made on
the spot and the walk was fixed for
Friday. Meantime, Matthews got his
wind and legs in good condition by
taking long walks over the Hemp
stead plains. Only a few members Of
the club were let into the secret.
Yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock
Matthews began his walk. A course
on road had been laid out. At certain
stations masseurs were ready to give
new springiness to his muscles. He
was able to finish in nineteen hours.
Potter and Crowinshield, who followed
him on horseback, changed their
mounts twice in the day. No stops
were made for sleep, but thin Cruel
was taken by the walker several times.
A slight diversion was caused when
Charles S. Dunn, one of the masseurs,
who had been stimulating his cour-
age, upbraided the walker and the men
who We're following. Dunn was landed
i'm a Hampstead cell, after he had
fought Charles Kimball for ten min
utes. Kimball proved himself a good
pugilist and put Dunn into condition
to go along quietly.

YELLOW ASTER MINE
REQUIRES MORE CARS

Two additional twenty-five
er locomotives and twenty-one more
three-ton ore cars have been placed in
operation at the mine near Randsburg,
Cal, of the Yellow Aster Mining and
Milling company.
This increases to four the number of
locomotives in use on the fifteen miles
of underground and surface track of
the mine.
The additional equipment was needed
to facilitate the removal of waste and
overburden, a sufficient number of cars
for handling the ore having been in
use.
The mill at the mine now is treating
an average of 500 tons of ore daily.
The ore runs from $2.56 to SO a ton, the
entire cost of mining and milling being
from $1.60 to $1.75 ton. 1t is gold ore
of an unusually free milling character.

PIaSterS EX-Con with V or Cans
Him for Five Sleeps

NEW YORK May 14.-George Green
field, whose most innocent actions are
so misunderstood that once he had to
stay in the penitentiary in Wethers-
field for four years and a half just
for holding a strangers watch, was
arrested yesterday for merely jostling
persons on the pavement at Eighty
sixth street and Central Park West.
When arraigned before Magistrate
O'Connor in the jefferson market
court, Greenfield displayed a pair OF
hands as big as picnic hams.
Il couldn't pick pocket, your
honor" he observed. Il can't put my
hand in a mans pocket. can heardly
put them in my own pockets"
Don't try to kid me-" replied the
magistrate sharply. You know a good
dip doesn't work with his hand. He
works with two fingers. You know
what bringing the hanger means
don't you, Greenfield?"
Greenfield scratched his head.
81 suppose you were framing a
sucker to get away with a whole
front or at least you expected to
'snag a poke or a 'souper' and in
stead you got dropped by a fatty and
were canned for a sleep eh?'
Greenfield looked startled and the
magistrate demanded:
"You know what mean, don't you?'
"I never had much schooling" falt-
cred the prisoner apologetically.
"Five dollars fine" said the magis-
trate.
Later Magistrate O'Connor explained
to the police court reporters, all of
whom had been raised as pets and
sheltered from a knowledge of the
world, that bringing the hanger
means opening a woman's hand bag.
Getting a whole front" is to take
everything the victim has. A poke"
is a pocketbook, and "souper" is a
watch. To be dropped by a fatty

The Warren Oil company, drilling on

MIDWAY SECURITY OIL
COMPANY IS A LEADER
Men of Capacity and Energy Are
Identified with 100000
Corporation

That the oil industry is gathering in
to its folds many useful and interest
ing men of the country is demonstrated
every day in the development of this
industry that is making history for
California. one of the recent acquisi-
sitions by the oil interests is that of
c. Beouregard Poland, known through
out the southwest as Captain Jack, "
a Well-knoWn descriptive writer who
during the past fifteen years has
worked faithfully with his pen writing
interesting stories that have had their
effect in attracting homeseekers, COLO
nists and investors to this country.
Captain Jack" has formed an as
sociation with the Midway Security
Oil company, operating forty acres on
section 22-32-24 in the Midway field. in
the heart of gusher territory, as secre-
tary for this organization
The Midway Security Oil company
maintains general offices in Los Ange-
les, and has recently established
branch offices in Salt Lake City, Utah;
Eureka, Utah, and Rosseau, Canada.
This company is incorporated under
the laws of the state of California for
$500, 900, divided into 100000 shares,
with 10000 shares as treasury stock,
ans is backed by such men as A. w.
Scott a Canadian financier and mining
operator who achieved fame at Cobalt
through the purchase for himself and
associates of the famous Foster mine,
which was later sold at profits that
netted Mr. Scott and associates some
thing like 100000; Arthur Monteith,
owner of the Monteith house on the
Muskoka lakes and a chain of Cana
dian hotels, and James Morgan of
Eureka, Utah, mining operator of
note in that section of the west.
This company believes strongly in the
business of sinking it's first well to
oil, and is paying more attention to
this than to the sale of its stock at this
stage of the game.
Besides the forty acres operated by
this company in the Midway field it
has options on other desirable proper
ties which will be utilized later, and
it is proposed to list the stock on the
Los Angeles and San Francisco ex-
changes and on the New York curb
when the property becomes producing.
As Mr.. Scott said in a recent inter-
view: while we have every faith in
the discovery of oil on our property,
we do not believe in making rash state
ments that might be misleading. The
officers of the company are spending
their own money in the initial work of
drilling our first well to oil, and have
spudded in with an eighteen-inch
stOvepipe because we expect results.
Considering our location in practically
the heart of the Midway field and re-
ports furnished by experts who should
know this field we feel that the oil
is there and we propose to do our
share to aid in the development of
Californlas oil industry.
I'VE judge from the success of other
operating companies in this field that
we will strike our first oil at a depth
of about 1900 feet, when we strike the
oil sand, and our gusher territory at
from 2200 to 2600 feet. The Lakeview
gusher was brought in at 1925 feet and
the Honolulu at 246O feet, and as we
are directly between the two gushers
we figure accordingly"

STANDARD GASSER

Pumping Stations and Camps in

ENHANCES PROPERTY VALUES
Volume Is Thought Sufficient to
Meet Demand of All Cali
fornia Cities

The standard Oil company has a gas
well in the Midway field that supplies
fuel for the pumping stations along
the pipe line as we'll as fuel ana hsht
for its many camps in the neiu' say .
the Bakersfield Oil Journal rms Wen
is valued more than an oil well ana
represents thousands and thousands OF
dollars in savings to the company.
The existence of gas in so great
Quantity beneath the west side oil dlS-
trict adds a double value to the Won
derful territory, and makes possible an
entirely new industry, which IN tlhe 10
come, it is safe to predict, Will make
fortunes equally as large as some made
by oil wells.
The distribution of the natural gas
of the oil fields to consumers in cities Is
one of the big industries in eastern
states, and as soon as the rush in the
California oil fields wears off and more
economic principles are applied in the
development of the wonderfully rlch OIL
lands, it is reasonable to believe that
attention will be directed to conserving
the thousands of cubic feet of gas that
daily go to waste, FOR the use of resi-
dents in the interior of the state.
In Santa Maria there is popular
demand for the piping of natural gas
of the fields into the city. A better fuel
at a cheaper rate is the argument of
the consumer.
From every indication the gas sup
ply underlying the west side is tremen-
dous, apparently inexhaustible. A
three or four inch line carrying a pres
sure of about 400 pounds would be suf-
ficient to supply the needs of city the
size of Bakersfield This amount
would hardly make an impression on
the available supply. Gas is piped
scores of miles to Chicago and those
who are wont to surmise as to the
future predict that some day gas from
the west side fields of Kern county
will supply the heat and fuel in thou
sands of homes in the state of Cali

.OIL MEN EXPLOIT
SAN DIEGO FIELD
0tay Outfit Reaches 800 Feet
Depth, and EnCinitaS Peo-
Pile Enter ShaIe

SAN DIEGO, May 14.-During the
week much activity has been displayed
in regard to developing oil in San Diego
county, and new capital is coming into
this vicinity from northern sections.
At the Otay well, where small body
of water was struck at a depth of 800
feet, a delay of ten days in drilling
work was occasioned for the purpose of
casing the well. This work has been
completed and the drill is again pound
ing away night and day, and the ope-
rators are sanguine oil will finally be
reached.
At the active camp in the Encinitas
district a double shift is forcing the
well down, and the drill is now 400
feet from the surface going through a
stratum of shale. In this we'll three oil
sands were encountered thus far, CIV
ing much encouragement to the pro-
moters.
The san Diego Crude Oil company, a
new concern just entering the field,
and holding several hundred acres OF
oil-bearing lands in both these dis
tricts, is fast getting into condition to
erect a derrick at each placee and send
drills down after the much coveted Oil,
which all agree will mean so much In
the upbuilding and prosperity of San
Diego and vicinity.
The local lumber mill is getting out
the timbers for two additional derricks,
and San Diego is fortunate in having
this mill here where orders for der
ricks can be quickly filed.
Another outfit has gone into the En-
cinitas district during the past week
and more definite reports from the new
company will soon add more interest
to the oil industry here. The Linda
Vista mesa, just north of the city be-
yond the Mission valley, is to be eX-
plored in the near future. The first
complete outfit for drilling is being
taken to the grounds now, and work
will soon start there.
