drill well, but few seemed willing
to take chances on a scheme that
seemed so great speculation and the
project was finally abandoned.
Eight years later Mr.. G. A. Can
field started his first we'll in that part
of the Coalinga field known as coil
City," which was greeted as a foolish
undertaking and very little money
could be raised to cover the expense
Of drilling. 1t Is stated as an actual
fact, that Mr.. Garfield was often
compelled to gather sage brush with
which to fire his boiler. But in the
face OF all these obstacles, the we'll
progressed, and in a comparatively
short time was brought in, insuring
success to Mr.. Garfield and the other
promoters
Stock that had been selling for a
pittance rose to fabulous price. It
Is understood that Mr.. Garfield at one
time sold 10000 shares Of his stock
IN the company for no less than $780,
600 or $500 a share on a par value
OF s1.oo. Fortunes were made in a
Few days and peoIie flocked in from
all sides, locating land for miles
around. The stock Of any COMPANY
organized to operate in the Coalinga
field was always salable at a good
price. AT that time the oil brought
$1.75 per barrel at the wells and was
often hauled away in tank wagons
and considered cheap fuel even at
that high figure.
From this time on the development
OF the field has been comparatively
rapid. At first the "Oil City" pool
was developed, operations branching
out from here gradually followed, for
the most part near the outcropping
or we'll defined oil formations By
the year 1902 the output of the field
had reached the modest amount of
100000 barrels and unlimited capital
was at hand for the further develop
ment Of what promised to be the
greatest oil producing field in this
country.
Then came the Standard under the
mask OF Pacific Coast Oil Company"
and the price Of oil commenced to de-
cline rapidly. finally reaching the
low water" mark of IS cents per bar
rel for contract oil and even less for
daily runs This was about two years
ago and will probably go on record
as being the lowest price ever paid
for California oil.
But the majority of producers were
familiar with Standard Oil tactics.
Many of them had operated in the
Eastern fields, where the monopoly
had held full sway, and they knew
that they could expect no mercy AZ
its hands
With the first law Of nature in
mind they commenced the only eff
fective remedy, curtailment, by shut
ting down their wells and ceasing
drilling. AS Coalnga had been no
exception in low prices it was aided
by similar movement in the other
fields Of the State with the result that
drilling was discontinued almost all to-
gethcr and the productive wells of
the state shut down to the eXent Of at
least 20 per cent. Of their capacity.
