small proportion of which now are
to be considered highly productive.
Taking these facts into considera-
| ton. it will be readily seen that Cali
fornia will, comparatively few years
hence. be depended upon to supply the
United States with Illuminating, lubri-
eating and fuel oils.
Is the flow of the great Lakeyiew
geyser of central California controlled
by the tides of the Pacific? That is
question that is puzzling engineers
and scientists since it was noticed
recently that the volume of oil dis
charged by this world-famous spouter
varied at different times of the day.
Engineers believe they have found
solution of the phenomenon in the
fact that the fluctuations in the flow OF
the great gusher are coincident with
the ebb and flow of the tides of the
Pacific ocean-that the inky fluid
spouts in greater volume at high tide
and diminishes considerably at low
tide.
If this theory is correct, 1t strength
ems the contention of many scientists
that the vast deposits of petroleum I'M
DERIVING California were once great
inland seas, and that there still is
connection between the Pacific ocean
and these subterranean seas OF COM
bustible fluid.
The Lakeview gusher is 1000 feet
below the mean level of the Santa
Barbara channel and sixty miles dis
tant Despite this distance, engi-
neers have discovered that the flow
of the gusher is directly affected by
the tides. The torrent of oil increases
with high tide and decreases with low
tide, but just what the ratio of In
crease and decrease is has not been
determined, although the d ference is
manifest.
According to biologists, the wash OF
the sea has had much to do with the
deposit of petroleum in the so-called
oil sands. it being found in zones as II
cast up by the tides AS proof of this
contention, shell fish, star fish, mann
moth oyster shells and sharks teeth
have been found in the oil sands OF
many fields in this state.
The Lakeyiew gusher was tapped on
March Is, last, since which time 1t
has flowed from 10000 to 10000 bar
rels daily. The well came in at a
depth of 2,200 feet but has long since
developed into an immense oil crater
the extent of which no man can tell
What will happen if the LakevieW
continues to emit its tremendous tor
rent of fluid fuel until the supply is
exhausted is question that has
caused alarm among timid folks re
siding in the region of the spouter
who fear that the waters of the Pacific
ocean may break forth and food the

California undoubtedly will, with
In a few years. be called upon TO sup
ply not only the United States, but
practically the whole North American
continent with Illuminating, lubricat-
ing and fuel oils.
A study of the petroleum industry
of the United States shows that the
California oil fields are practically In
their infancy, with production iacreas-
ing by leaps and bounds. while the
proved oil bearing area is being aug
mented daily The oil fields of other
sections of he country have reached
their maximum production and are
on the decline, leaving California in a
class by itself as a producer of the
infammable fluid.
The total proved petroleum terri
tory of California, according to the
United States Geological Survey, is
$50 square miles, or a total of slightly
more than 100000 acres. This area
would accommodate something like
10000 wells, allowing one we'll to

Large as this territory may seem,
II is less than half the area proved r.
be productive in Pennsylvania, that
state having nearly 1000 square miles
of oil lands But the thickness of the
oil-bearing stratum in California far
exceeds that of other fields in the
United States, there being. by actua
measurement, over 800 feet of al
sands in several different sections o
this state, whereas in many localities
in the eastern fields the oil bearin'
stratum is only few feet thick. o.
account of these dense sands Cal
fornia will be producing oil whe

are the oldest in the United State

ness many years ago and have stea
