M'KITTRICK WELLS KEEP
BUSYIN SUMMER MONTHS
Development Work Outlined for
Fall Indicates Field Will
Remain Active

NcKITTRICK, Aug. 17.-Although
August is not conducive to extra eX-
ertion there is no evidence of lack
of activity in the McKittrick oil held.
on the contrary, there is ample lnul-
cation of increased effort in the dlrec-
ton of general improvement in oper-
ating facilities and greater production.
There are very few idle wells in the
district, everything is running smooth
ly. and tangible proof of added enter
prise is furnished by the building OF
new rigs, the placing of boilers and
the extension of other material adj
vantages on various leases. That the
coming fall and winter months VIII
witness the most active work since
the field was opened is the belief Of
those who have carefully and with
much interest kept tab on the devel-
opment of the oil industry in this Sec
ton.
The array of new boilers, new tanks,
new derricks, new pipe lines and sta
lions, especially to the eastward OF NC
Kittrick within the past six months,
has been most noticeable. Again the
number of new cottages and tents
erected here and there show that the
population of the district is fast in
creasing. There have recently been
many inquiries by prospective settlers,
as to the advantages of McKittrtck and
contiguous territory. and that there
will be quite an influx of new faces
before the winter season sets in is con-
fidently expected. Altogether the out
look is favorable.
RIG ABOUT DONE
The Redlands Oil company, L. c.
AvlesWorth, superintendent, is operat-
ing in the Elk Hills, about five miles
east of town, on section 30. 4 rig is
nearly finished at this property, and
will be ready to start operations as
soon as connection is made with the
Associated company's water plant by
a pipe line which will be laid next
week. The company has bunk house
built and work upon a cook house is
under way.
A party of we'll known Californians
are operating on section 26-30-22 east
of McKittrick five miles, in the Elk
Hills. rig is in course of construc-
ton, and drilling will be started in
couple of weeks. A company is be-
ing formed by H. A. Rispin. A. d.
Smith and J. 2. McGraw, interested
in the property, were here last week.
f. ]. Burns is having a rig built in
the Elk Hills for the Scottish Oil COM
pany.
Work on Station L of the Associat-
ed is progressing rapidly. The boilers
have been placed in position, and when
completed the station will be among
the leaders in the field. 1t has an ex-
cellent position, and is to be provided
with every appliance for effective work.
The Dominion OIL company, on sec
ton Is, North Midway, is having a
new rig built, also a bunk house. This
company is under the management OF
f. ]. Burns.

WHEN | HAVE GONE WEIRD WAYS.

WY HEN 1 HAVE finished with this episode,

Y And gone weird ways to seek another load,
Oh friends, regret me not, weep for me.
Child of Infnity!
Nor dig grave for tomb
To say with lying writ: Here in the gloom
He who loved bigness takes a room
Content to pillow here his weary head,
For he is dead"
But give my body to the funeral pyre,
And bid the laughing fire.
Eager and strong and swift like my desire,
Scatter my subtle essence into space.
Free of time and place
And sweep the bitter ashes from the hearth
Fling back the dust 1 borrowed from the earth
Into the chemic broil of death and birth,
The vast alembc of the cryptic scheme,
Warm with the master-dream.
And thus, o little house that sheltered me,
Dissolve again in wind and rain, to be
Part Of the cosmic weird economy.
And, oh, how oft with life shalt thou lift
Out of the atom-drift
