BELIEVE OIL EXISTS
IN BARSTOW DISTRICT
GeoIogiSt, After Investigation, AS
serts Field Offers Sufficient
Inducement to Capital
Especial to The Herald)

BARSTOW, Cal, June 27.-Ellis NAL
lery eminent geologist and authority
on the oil deposits of California, ad
dressed the Chamber of Mines on the
resources of the inter-mountain region,
and his discourse was warmly appre-
ciated by a full house of the chamber
members.
Particular interest was taken in his
reference to the Barstow oil field,
which he designated as one of the most
promising regions of this state.
In speaking of the Barstow region, +"
said Mr.. Mallery, my statements are
based upon the knowledge acquired
from several trips of investigation
made during the past year and half.
"In the immediate vicinity of Bar
stow igneous rocks prevail, which OF
course preclude the possibility of oil
within a restricted area, but in the ad-
jacent county and in the outlying dis
tricts of which Barstow is the geogra-
phical center the characteristic oil
measures OF California are well de-
veloped.
"Some criticism of this locality has
been made because of the existence or
these volcanic rocks, but it is only
necessary to appreciate the slgnln-
canoe OF the lgneOuS ana Seullllell tol
rocks in their separate occurrence to
understand the relationship each bears
to the other.
Broadly speaking. the rocks making
up the productive oil series of this
state are no different in the BarstoW
field from those of other fields at
present developed.
"The necessary shales, prolific with
the organic life that make oil ac-
cumulations possible, here exist, and
interbedded with the shales are sand
strata. both coherent and incoherent,
which, coupled with everything and un-
derlyirg beds of like character, form
the required reservoir for the storage
of oil.
THE reservoir sands range from fine
grained to coarse conglomeritic layers,
and to discover these stored accumula-
tions is only a matter of knowledge
and capital.
I'm short, the field under discussion
possesses great merit, and L have no
| hesitancy in saying that men OF means
can devote their energies and resources
| toward its development with the as
! surance they will reap most satstac-
torily for their efforts"

HYDRO-ELECTRIC HELPS
MONO LAKE COUNTRY

GOLDFIELD, June 27.-James War
rem, who is associated with Joe Ford
in some property in the Mono lake
country has returned from an eighteen
days trip there by horse and buggy.
Warren says that the Aurora, Bodie
and Mono lake sections are showing
a great deal of activity on account
of the approaching advent of the Hy-
dro- Electric power line from Mono
lake, work on which is being pushed
rapidly.
At Pamlico, one of the oldest camps
in Esmeralda county, located between
Sodaville and Hawthorne, about fif-
teen men are engaged in prospecting
and development work. Leasers are
taking out considerable good ore in
the Pamlico property and are treat
ing it at the PamlicO mill.
The mill also treats other ore that is
brought in by any of the prospectors,
which is quite a convenience to the
men throughout the district. Mr.
Warren says that section looks very
good to him and he is confident it will
make considerable of stir before
long.

AMERICAN OIL FIELDS
RESTS ON ITS OARS
Decides to Await Adequate Pipe
Line Facilities Before
Bringing in Wells

J. e. O'Donnell, Superintendent
of the American Oil Fields company in
the Midway and Maricopa fields. Is
authority for the statement that the
company has stopped further drilling
in its two wells on sections 81 and 81,
township 32 range "a.
High gravity oil has already been en-
countered in the we'll on section 81 at
depth of 1000 feet, and there is every
indication that further drilling will
bring immense production, and the
Producers agency is unable at the
present time to handle more oil.
This ground was secured by the
American Oil Fields company some
months ago from the Monte Cristo
company at a price, 1t was stated at
the time, of $1,250,000, which included
section 80 and a quarter section in-1.
Later ]. c. Yancey bought twenty
acres in section 80, paying the record
price for the Midway fields for unim-
proved grounds of $500 an acre.
Although drilling operations are not
particularly difficult in this part of the
field, heavy drilling equipment has
been installed, and the hole is now
about 600 feet deep with 151a-inch spe-
cial screw casing.

From Mines and Oil Fields
GOVERNMENT MAY BUY
LAKEVIEW SURPLUS
FROM UNION COMPANY

A possible solution of the question,
'oYhat can we do with the Lakeview
oilP" comes In the form of well de-
fined report that the United States gov
ernment wishes to enter into contract
With the Union oil company for 6O,0OO.-
600 barrels of oil per annum for term
of vears, whenever the Union can show
a surface storage of 100000 barrels
which probably viii be within q short
time. Most of the oil will be used In
the navy.
The report of the proposed deal Is as
vet only partly confirmed, but many
persons who are thoroughly familiar
with the inner workings Of the oil In
dustry believe It to be true.

PICNIC WORRIES PLUCKY
BOY AS SURGEONS SEW
Foot Nearly Severed, Lad Says,
"Fraid I'll Miss Fun

While police surgeons were operat-
ing on his left foot, which had been
almost severed in peculiar accident,
Willie Baumgart, u years old, dis
played wonderful fortitude and seemed
worried because he would not be able
to attend his Sunday school picnic at
Long Beach on the Fourth of July.
"'Fraid I'll miss it," he said dole
fully. ..
Willie was riding bicycle at Fifth
and Spring streets when his rear wheel
caught in the street car tracks and
he was hurled over the handle bars
and under an automobile, the front
wheels of which passed over his left
foot. The automobile was driven by
e. v. Reeves, 22O Citizens National
Bank building.
The foot was almost severed at the
instep and required twenty stitches.

RAILING GIVES AWAY, AND
PORTER ALMOST SCALPED
H. G. Rohn Seriously Injured by a
Fall in Furniture Store

Falling from the balcony to the main
floor and striking his head on piece of
furniture, H. G.. Rohn, % years old,
porter for the Los Angeles Furniture

supposed was safe and solid. The rail
ing gave way and Rohn was plunged
headforemost to the floor below, dis
