cover the total production of those two
great Brown Gold districts for the month
of March, 1910, are:
Barrels.
Coalinga District ........1 ,231,000
Kern River District ......1 100000
barrels of AZ gallons each, the difference
in favor of the Coalinga district being 49,
600 barrels for the month BUT when the
present development of both districts are
taken into consideration, the startling fact
is realized that the great Coalinga district
produced this enormous quantity of Brown
Gold with less than one-half the number
OF wells as compared with the more thor
cughly developed and comparatively older
district, the Kern River.
And by a further comparison of the
average production per well in the two dis
tricts it is shown that the Coalnga dis
trict well produced two and one-haf times
as much Brown Gold as was produced by
the Kern River district well in the same
period, or in other words, to make the
contrast more apparent, while the average
Kern River well was producing 500 barrels
the average Coalinga well was producing
1000 barrels.
Having shown by facts and figures that
Coalinga IS the greatest producing district,
it is now pertinent TO refer TO another point
in order to show The further great advan-
tage this district has in facilities for mar
kCtlnS or moving the pIOuuCl 10 lu0M dleI,
and this brings up the subject of transpof-
tatiOn, which as matter of fact was the
one and practically the only handicap with
which, until recently, the producer OF
Prown Gold in California has mad to CON
Tend. Producing a commodity without the
facilities of getting it to market is like
finding yellow Gold mine in the heart of
Africa without being able to handle the
ore OF getting the product to the outside
world. Such was the story of Brown Gold
found in the heart of California. No means
of transportation, excepting by the few
thousand tank-cars furnished by the rail
roads, which at its best was a totally in
adequate, as well as very expensive, serv-
ice. Now, however those conditions have
been completely changed and with due
appreciation of the magnitude and impor-
lance of the Wonder" of all producing
districts, the Coalinga producer has at his
disposal the service of the following great
pipe line systems-one of siX-inch and four
OF eight and ten-inch capacity each, max
ing in all five great through pipe lines,
which extend to various coast points north
and west from the district to market /. e,
Tidewater.
These lines are: Associated from Goa
linga to Monterey, from Coalinga to Port
Costa: Producers from Coalinga to Port

dota, the latter two being parallel lines
which connect with the through line to
Point Richmond on San Francisco Bay.
The product is handled by the transpor-
tion company or companies WIN Whlch
the producer. elects to do business, when
concerns, at their cost and expense, run
pipe line to the property and take care
of the product, thus relieving the producer
of all further work. From tidewater points
the Brown Gold is shipped north, south,
east and west, from Alaska in the north 10
Chill in the south: and over seas as far as
Japan, and portions of it even as far as
Australia.
The Coalinga district offers a product
capable of further immense development:
offers ample facilities for the marketing
of the same; offers market which is prac-
tically unlimited, coupled with demand
for the commodity which all present ef-
forts have as yet been unable to supply.
With all these facts in mind, can single
argument be advanced that will contradict
the statement that an investment made now
in Coalinga Brown Gold is the best in
vestment eXtant?
How or where can | make an invest
ment whereby | may participate IN the
distribution of the immense amount OF
mineral wealth with which California IS
so favored and the development of which
an investment in a company that has some
thing to offer in return for your invest
ment and the more they have and hold
the greater will be your return thereon.
Where? Investigate fully the California

famous Coalinga district the Wonder Dis

and neighbors, but get in now, like the
stranger did, when the investment of a few
