UNION RUSHES WORK ON
ITS SAN PEDRO DOCKS
Oil Company Invests Large Sum
in Harbor Facilities for
Coast Trade

Regardless of the troublesome gush-
ers and extensive field work and de-
velopment the Union OIL company Is
not neglecting improvements on the
coast for shipping purposes. A large
sum of money is being sunk in the
Outer Harbor and Stock company at
San Pedro in making ample provision
for fleet Of twenty NesseIs O"Heu W
the company.
A valuable terminal site at Seattle
has lust been acquired, and the work
on the holdings of the company in
Los Angeles harbor is being pushed
rapidly.
The piling for the bulkhead along
the east channel on the Minor fill Is
now practically all down, and the rock
work for the same Is about half COM
nleted. This bulkhead is 1000 feet long,
and will add the first deep-water
frontage to the assets Of the harbUr.
The work of putting down the con-
crete piles for the wharf along the
channel is keeping pace with the
dredging of the channel to thlrty-hVe
feet. When completed the wharf Will
be one of the most substantial and
up-to-date on the coast: reinforced
concrete piles only are being used, and
there will be no expensive mainten-
ance on account of the ravages of the
nile worm, as in the case of wooden
piles. These piles are forty-seVen feet
long and taper from twenty inches in
diameter at the bottom to fourteen
inches at the top. They are reinforced
with nine seven eighths-inch iron RODS.
The piles are put down by means OF
a hydraulic jet and light tapping with
n pile driver The wharf is about
half completed.
The big dredger Pacific is half way
out from the shore on the first cut in
the two-mile channel to the thirty
fye-foot contour that will bring deep
water to the wharves.
To furnish power for the dredging
operations the North American Dredg-
ing company recently made a contract
with the Southern California Edison
company which makes 1t the second
largest individual consumer of electric
Juice" in the southern section of the
state.
The contract calls for minimum
expenditure for power of $45,000 within
three years. Anticipating a permanent
demand for power at the harbor. the
electric company has built new per-
manent power line to bring the current
from Inglewood station.
It is expected that the east channel
and wharVes on the Minor concession
will be completed some time during the
coming fall, and that before the new
year deep water vessels will be dock
ing In the outer harbor.
On the outer end of the concession
the city has reserved 1000 feet along
the bulkhead line. AS the pierhead
line extends 1000 feet beyond the bulk
head line. it is possible to build two
slips on the frontage of the city, which
will add much to the available frontage
for municipal docks.

SHERMAN LAYS OFF MEN

Sixty-seven men have been laid off
in the Sherman oil district for lack of
work to keep them employed
1t is believed by some of the most
experienced workers that the recent
seismic disturbances are responsible
for the failure of several wells in
diverting the flow of oil, while in the
case of others it is said to be held
that the shock loosened the casing so
that it became disconnected, and thus
put the wells out of action.
The men were employed in and
around Sherman, and were generally
engaged as bumpers and workers at
the wells.

BRITISH COMPANY ADDS
TO COALINGA HOLDINGS

Another large deal has been made
at Coalinga by which the British Con-
solidated Oil Corporation, Ltd, has
purchased the eighty acres of the Wa
bash Oil company, on "a, 2O-14, with
its seventeen producing wells.
The Wabash is a substantial pro-
ducer and in the heart of the pro-
ducing fields. Only the lines have
been drilled, and the new owners will
probably drill up the remainder of the
area, besides getting the drilled wells
up to a maximum production. Capt
John Barneson was the principal owner
of the Wabash.
The British Consolidated has start
ed a system of numbering the different
properties, and they will be known
by the following numbers. The Dia-
mond will be No. 1; the Monarch, on
section 26 No 2; and p. M. D. & o.,
No. g, and the Wabash will be No. 4.
The New Era property will be includ-
ed with the P. M. d. e. O.

NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS
UNION OFFICIALS FIND
PIPE LINE SYSTEM IN
EXCELLENT CONDITION

After travelling the entire distance
of the Producers Transportation pipe
line system, Lyman Stewart and Rob-
ert Watchorn of the Union Oil COM
pany returned to Les Angeles yester-
day. They report the system in first
class condition.
Messrs. Stewart and Watchorn saw
the Lakeview gusher, which continues
to pour forth oil steadily at the rate of
$4,000 barrels a day, and which Mr..
Watchorn epitomizes as a magnificent,
wonderful sight"
The immense tank which was built
around the top of the well will be made
higher. 1t is thirty feet high and about
300 feet square, but the great weight
of the oil which it contains does not
prevent the sending of oil above the
top of the tank and over the sides by
the terrific pressure from the well.

JADE IN ALASKA

Eskimos of northern Alaska for ages
have made axes and ornaments of a
green Jade, which upon examination
by experts has been pronounced equal
to any found in China and Japan.
The Eskimos say that a whole noun
tain at the headwaters of the Kobuk
river, in the Arctic circle, is composed
of this jade AS jade occurs only in
thin veins, it is believed that jade
reef, broken up by the erosion of a
hillside, has been scattered as float
over a large area, making the natives
believe the green stone is the prevail
ing rock. DR.. Philip S. Smith and R
NJ. Eakin of the United States geologi-
cal survey have gone to Alaska in an

Although Harry Clark. the Della

bidder for building the new she'll road
from Harrisonville, Salem county. y.
j.. to Fort Mott, there is some ques-
ton as to whether or not the War De-
partment will award the contract be-
cause of the appropriation being in
sufficient to complete the work
Mr.. Clark's bid was 81 IL cents per
square yard and as only $4,000 wes
appropriated by Congress, only about
1-2 miles can be built. 1t has been
recommended, however. that the work
be started from the Fort Mott end Of
the road and go as far as the appro-
