UNION PURCHASES
ALVARADO PROPERTY
Land Adjoins the Regal Lease,
Where Well Has Just Come In

reports from Taft tell of the pur-
chase by the Union oil company of the
property of the Alvarado oil com
pany. The Alvarado's land adioins
that of the Union. known as the Regal
lease. 1t was on this lease that the
Union recently brought in one of the
biggest wells of the field. The pur-
chase includes $50 acres of land held
under one-sixth royalty lease and 40
acres upon which the lease includes
an option to purchase.
Two or three months ago a big well
was brought in on the Regal lease.
which was said at the time of it's COM
pletion TO be capable of $4,000 barrels
day The well is about $500 feet
deep. 1t was capped to await storage
provisions. Last week the well was
turned loose and flowed at the rate of
$4,000 barrels day. 1t is the remark
able performance of this well that
prompted the Union to purchase the
adjoining territory.
Another recent purchase in the Mid
way is that by which the Petroleum
investment company comes into pos
session of 100 acres in section 16. So
%. 1t has organized the Petroleum
North Midway company for the de-
yelopment of the land. 1t is UNDER
stood that the price was $4,000 an acre.
The Petroleum investment company is
controlled by John Barneson and John
Baker Jr.

DIRECTORS REFUSE
TO RENEW OPTION
Twenty-Five Oil Company Will
Proceed With Development

1t is announced from Bakersfield that
the negotiations looking to the sale of
the twenty-five oil company have fallen
through The Twenty-Five is one of
the well known properties in the Mid
way field and the option to purchase
was first reported in these columns.
The option, which was held by c. E.
meeting of the directors of the COM
pany an effort was made to have the
option renewed, but the directors with
drew the property from the market.
While no announcement was made as to
the price stipulated, it is understood to
have ranged between s2,000,000 and
S2,500.000.
The Twenty-Five has production of
2 1000 barrels month and the company
will now proceed with development in
an effort to bring the monthly yield
to 75, 600 barrels. Two strings of tools
are now running.
Another projected sale that has been
Cancelled is that Of the property Of the
Central oil company. The option was
withdrawn because the prospective pur-
chasers requested an extension of time
to meet their payments. Oil sales are
for the most part on cash basis and
the directors of the Central were not
disposed to vary from the rule
President Neuer of the Central stated
that the sale had been opposed by
number of the stock holders, and for
that reason negotiations were termi-
mated. The property is paying 15 per
cent, with prospects for an increased
revenue.

NEW OIL TOWN PLANNED
IN FIELD NEAR FELLOWS
Santa Fe to Extend Line on TAX
ing Over Sunset

Still another town is to spring up in
the oil fields. The latest addition to
the many busy camps amid the der
ricks will be near the Santa Fe lease
north of Fellows. This will bring into
closer connection the Midway and Nc
Kittrick fields.
The new town will be established
largely through the efforts of the
Santa Fe. This company will take over
the Sunset railroad management Octo-
Der l. The Sunset line is operated
Jointly by the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe, each road having control
alternately for periods of five years
The turn of the Santa Fe has now come
With this change, the trains to the
west side will be operated from the
Bakersfield terminal of the Santa Fe.
Heretofore they have run via the
Southern Pacific depot at Kern CITY.
The new regime will be inaugurated
October 1. The line has been Immensely
profitable since the Midway fields were
opened on such vast scale. 1t will
require but small extension to con-
meet with the road extending from
Bakersfield to McKittrick, making Il
complete loop through the great west
side fields

june DIVIDENDS
RECORD FOR OIL
Listed Companies Alone Pay Out
Total of ST, l,4O2,69O.7S
During Month

The dividends paid by the listed oil
companies during the month of June
set new record with a total of
s1,4O2.69Q.7S. The nearest approach 20
this was in May of this year. when
the amount reached s1.326,6 ,62662. For
the six months of 1910 the disburse-
ments figure s5,329.4s4. From this 1T
may be predicted with safety that the
years dividends will add up 10000 600
These figures do not take into account
the earnings of the many unlisted COM
panies, the big British concerns nor the
Standard. The California earning Of
the Standard would swell this total by
several millions
In the June computation is included
100000 distributed by the Imperial oil
company as portion of the proceeds
from the sale of the property. 1t also
embraces the final disbursement of the
Reed Crude, amounting to s43,500

dends has been prepared by F. C. Dew

oil FOR STEAMERS
ideal, SAYS UHLER
Supervising Inspector General
Finds Liquid Fuel Superior
to Coal on Ocean

George Uhler, supervising inspector
general of steam vessels. is making an
official tour of the offices under his
charge in this part of the world He
arrived yesterday from Honolulu on the
liner Sierra and will leave here Sat
urday for Portland and Seattle.
Uhler made the round trip on the
Sierra and was so delighted with every
thing about the ship that he is going
to write an official letter to the COM
pany expressing his pleasure.
His trip on the Sierra was Uhler's
first intimate acquaintance with fuel
oil. He had seen it in use, of course,
but he and king Goals successor were
never shipmates before.
ITS the finest thing in the world,
he said yesterday. "It does away with
all Objectionable conditions in the fire
room and insures a supply of steam
such as engineers in the old DAYS
is simple, clean and safe and it is hard
to understand why it has not been
adopted long ago on the Atlantic side.
/ suppose the question of supply would
be quite a problem there, but am sure
If its advantages We're realized. as
now see them, it would not be long
before liquid fuel was as common on
the Atlantic as it is on the Pacific.
With the Sierra throughout / was
delighted 1t is a splendid sea boat.
one of the steadiest I ever travelled on.
1t is fast and has the finest set of Off
GERS it was ever my pleasure to meet.
/ never saw the officers of a ship who
gave SO much attention to the COM
fort of the passengers in their charge
and at the same time attended so
strictly to their ship duties. / will
always remember the Sierra as every
thing a ship should be and its officers
as men with whom it is a pleasure to
be shipmates.''
Uh1er succeeded General Dumont
about eight years ago as the head of
the steamship inspection service.

BROTHER AND SISTER
TAKE DISPUTE TO LAW
Maud Mclaughlin Gets Verdict
for $34O From Ralph

Brother and sister went to law be-
fore Judge Raker, sitting for Judge
Sturtevant yesterday when Maud Nc
Laughlin sued Ralph Mclaughlin for
S340 on a contract and won her case
The suit was connected with the
sale of a drug store in the Mission
that was bequeathed to Mclaughlin
and his two sisters by their father.
In October of last year Mclaughlin
agreed to buy his sister Maud's third
interest for $3.50, but subsequently the
entire store was sold to an outsider
for 1920. OF this Maud received $40.
and she sued her brother for the diff
ference between that amount and the
$3.50 he contracted to give her for her
third.
Mclaughlin pleaded that he was un-
der the influence of liquor when he
made the agreement. but Judge Raker
decided that he was in responsible
condition and directed him to pay his
sister $40, as well as costs of the
action.

A column of oil was sent over the
derrick. 1t was of light gravity. While
no measurements We're made, it was
said by Standard officials that the
gusher was apparently as large as the
companys producer on 80. This we'll
has been yielding from 5000 to $4,000
barrels at different stages in its career.
so it is highly possible that the big
concern has come to the front with an
other prize producer.
The flow was struck at a depth OF
1000 feet. So strong was the gas pres
sure that the string of tools was thrown
out of the we'll The oil poured out of
the hole for two hours before the sand
choked it, The we'll will not be opened
again until the Standard shall have
made provision TO take care OF the
flow.
STRIKE IN AMERICANS FIELD
The other big strike was that of the
American OIL fields company on section
u, 1922. The we'll is located in the
southwest quarter of the section and
was brought in at depth OF 1900
feet The oil in this case is also of
light gravity.
The company has been drilling but
a short time on this tract. and expected
to go much deeper as this is in what
is regarded as deep territory. The
company's land in this section ad-
joins that owned by the Bear Creek oil
and development company. which is
operating in section IA.
The new producer filled the sump.
and a large quantity flowed down the
canyon and was lost. There is much
water in the hole. which will be baled
out. The test will then be made.
Near this the Bear Creek recently
struck a heavy flow of oil after pass
ing through 200 feet of oil sand. The
well was brought in at 1,7O0 feet. The
daily production will not be known un-
til thorough test can be made.
NEW WELL IS DEVELOPING
The new we'll of the Consolidated
Midway company. opened up about a
week ago, is showing every symptom
of developing into a big producer. The
oil has at intervals spOuted under
heavy pressure. but after each perform
ance the sand has blocked the flow.
Drilling has been resumed in order
that the hole may be cleared and the
casing landed. E. A. Wiltse. the man
ager of the company, believes that the
rich sand has been tapped
