WILL LAKEWEW GEYSER
TURN To WATER IS ASKED
Latest Theory ConjectureS Big
Oil Spouter May Eventually
Flood the Country

ana now they are getting afraid that
the flow of the Lakeview geyser, re-
ported to be dependent upon the ebb
and flow of the tides of the Pacific,
is going to develop into a stream of
ocean water that will swamp the oil
fields. At least it is reported that such
is the fear of some timorous people,
who have heard advanced the theory
of the connection of the famous well
with the big drink
Is the flow of the great Lakeview
geyser controlled by the tides of the
Pacific? That is a question that is
puzzling engineers and scientists since
it was noticed recently that the volume
of oil discharged by this world famous
spouter varied at different times of
the day.
Engineers believe they have found a
solution of the phenomenon in the fact
taht 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 dimin-
ishes considerably at low tide.
If this theory is correct it strength
ems the contention of many scientists
taht the vast deposits of petroleum un-
derlying California were once great in
land seas and that there is still con-
these subterranean seas of combustible
fluid.
The Lakeview gusher is 1900 feet be-
low the mean level of the Santa Bar
bara channel and sixty miles distant.
Despite this distance, engineers 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 increase and de-
crease is has not been determined, al
though the difference is manifest.
According to geologists 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 If
cast up by the tides. AS proof of this
contention, shellfish, starf1sh, mammoth
oyster shells and sharks teeth have
been found in the oil sands Of many
fields in this state.
The Lakeview gusher was tapped on
March Is, last, since which time 1t has
flowed from 10000 to 60, 90 barrels a
day The we'll came in at depth of
2200 feet, but has long since developed
into an immense oil crater, the extent
of which none can tell.

cLAIM-JUMPINe CONTINUES

BAKERSFIELD. July ia recur-
ence of claim jumping is reported from

far as to actually camp on the land.
However, they have on two occa-

GOLDFIELD PRODUCERS
MAY WANT FOR WATER

GOLDFIELD, July ia water
shortage of considerable proportions,
especially for milling purposes, threa-
tens Goldfeld on account of hot Wea-
ther and a lack of rain, which have
brought about a decreased supply. The
situation, from a milling standpoint,
is becoming more acute each day that
present weather conditions continue
and unless cloudland opens its valves
in the near future the problem may
become very serious.
At the present time the Consoli-
dated mill has thirty stamps hung up
on account of the water shortage, and
the Combination Fraction has been
compelled within the last few days to
curtail operations to half capacity. The
Florence mill, although cut down to
half the usual supply by the water
company, is still dropping its full COM
plement of forty stamps. as Manager
Lawrence has been able to replace the
shortage by pumping water from old
shafts and catching up water pumped
from other shafts by leasers. While
this mine water has many objectionable
properties for lilling purposes on aC-
count of it's peculiar chemical ingre
di-nts, it can be neutralzed and made
available in preference to curtailing the
operations of the mill.
General Manager Wilkinson of the
Combination Fraction has about de-
cided to resort to the same eXpedi-
ency if the water shortage continues,
but. for the present the Consolidated
will do the best it can under the cir
cumstances at the mill, rather than
utilize mine water, as the monthly
production can be kept up to normal
with shipments of high grade to the
smelters.
