producer at this end, and the X T. &,
| Co. couple of fair wells on the old
foltz place, but north of this all work
has resulted in absolute failure, and
there seems little or no hope of ex-
tending production in this direction
Some prospecting is being done a little
to the northeast and, therefore, farther
out toward the fiat and some five miles
northwest; on the Templor ranch, a
small, shallow sand pool has been found,
but this seems to be very limited in
extent and is almost surrounded by
deep failures.
AKIN TO COALINGA
The topography of the McKittrick
field somewhat resembles that of Coal
inga in that there is a spur from the
main hill range extending in a south
easterly direction and joining the main
hill range north of the developed field.
Some prospecting has been done on the
west or inside of this spur, but with
out encouragement. On the outer or
valley side of this spur the United
States oil and mining company brought
in small producer some time ago. and
lately the Nacirema got a 40 or so
barrel well of II gravity oil on this
same section-6-3 0-22-andt there seems
some hope of a narrow belt of heavy
oil territory on the outside of this spur
The wells drilled between the spur and
the main hill range on the fiat near
dig station got nothing but water,
and it seems quite certain that the ris-
ing limb Of the outer anticline is bar
rem.
From the southernmost wells in Nc
kittrick to the low divide which sep
arateS McKittrick from Midway is but
a couple of miles, and from this divide
an uninterrupted view of a most re-
markable scene of prospecting is pre-
sented- Midway, like Coalinga and
McKittrick, consists of stretch of the
lowest foothills with a spur extending
in a southeasterly direction, leaving
a generally fiat plain falling toward
the south. In Midway, however, this
plain is of much greater extent than at
either of the other fields,
AT HEAD OF MIDWAY
The most northerly development
which has produced any oil is on 14-31-
%, where the Bear Creek has an oil
of about IA gravity at some 1900 feet
A mile southwest of this at about the
center of the south line of Is the
Barnsdale. Drake & Yancy company
has heavier oil at about the same
the sand Is on the east line of 81
where the Cunningham and Maxwell
outfits have each a very heavy oil at
some $500 feet.
Southeast of these wells the Amber
has one and the Santa Fe and Asso-
ciated several wells, all at a depth not
much greater and with oil ranging
about 16 gravity. The strike of the
producing formation is apparently
about southeast, and as you go down
the dip from any point that is, go
northeast depth of course increases.
production per well appears to increase
and gravity of oil rises.
The Pioneer Midway has $500 foot
well on the southwest corner of 30-31-
%, while the Mays oil 'company's flow
ing well, lately brought in, is a half
mile east. on the center of the south
line of this section. This we'll is said
to produce oil of "a gravity.
The southwest corner of this town
ship-that is, of 31-31- 23-seems to be
we'll up toward the edge of the produc-
