News of the Mines and Oil Fields
Y
OIL REFINERY FOR
BIG SESPE REGION
is BEING PLANNED

Ventura county Is to have an oil re-
flnery of sufficient capacity to handle
the output of the various fields. NJ. f.
DonovOn and associates of Santa Paula
are negotiating for the construction of
an oil refinery at Brownstone siding,
about one mile west TO Fillmore on the
Southern Pacific railroad. 1t Is proposed
that this refinery will be of sufficient ca
pacity to handle all the refining oil
which may be produced in the Big and
Little Sespe districts, together with
such other product now being produced
in the Santa Paula and Piru fields.
Mr.. Donoyon is an oil refiner of many
years experience and thoroughly famil-
lar with the higsl qualities of the Ven
tura oil. In selecting the present loca-
tion of the refinery MIR. DOnOvOn con-
sidered Brownstone siding as central
point Of distribution and In cOntempla-
tion of the large production which will
be forthcoming from the Sespe oil fields
the selection of the refinery is considered
favorable. This will give an increased
impetus and stimulate production In
the Sespe fields. 1t will also produce
and guarantee a ready market for the
production of Ventura oil.

AAkS REFINERIES TO
MEET WITH OIL MEN

The possibilities of the use of Califor-
mia oil by the municipalities of this
and foreign nations is, we think, appre-
ciated by a very few, says the Callfor-
MIA Oil World editorially. There is no
better paving material than that which
can be made under right conditions
from California oil. There is to be no
limit to the growth in size and numbers
of the cities of the earth. More and
more it becomes the desire of the peo-
pie of the cities to be surrounded with
pleasant and satisfying conditions.
First among these conditions is the
street which is least destructible, noise
less, dustlesS and mudlesS, and hence
answers best to that inSistance upon
proper sanitation, now as firmly fixed a
principle in our community lives, 1t
may almost be said, as that one which
calls for the preservation of the peace.
AS this sort of street can best be
built of California asphaltum, we de-
duce this: The market for California
asphaltum, if made as it should be
made, will be as great as the increased
size and number of cities are to be, and
that greatness will be increased by the
constantly rising standard of life ana
living
This enormous field of endeavor and
profit can be cultivated and made to
Weld in the fullest if proper methods
are resorted to- The success of the
independent Producers Agencies sug-
gests the proper method. Inasmuch as
all who have any sort of interest in oil
are invited to attend the producers
meeting at Bakersfield on the first day
of March, it is hereby respectfully sub
mitted that that date is the most ap-
propriate for the refiners who are suf-
fering and losing money as a result of
their efforts to destroy one another to
get together.

A MODERN INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTION
Interesting the Angeles Pressed Brick Company and
the Important Plays in Building Construction

The Los Angeles Pressed Brick COM
pany is one of the largest concerns of
this city, has been in existence for
twenty-three years, and is considered
one of the most important factors in
the development life of Los Angeles
and other growing towns and cities of
the west. The company has made
such substantial progress in the manu-
featuring world since its organization
that its fame has caused its prod
ucts to be in demand in many of the
important building centers of the
country.
Without question there is no COM
pany In the west which is in better po-
sition to furnish pressed brick in the
building fields. This company owns
and operates large industrial brick and
manufacturing plant at Los Angeles,
where the raw products of the earth
are converted into the highest quality
of pressed, glazed, enameled brick, and
mantel tile, paving brick, roofing tile,
firebrick, hollow tile fire-rooting, ETC.,
the Los Angeles Pressed Brick COM
pany being the largest manufacturers
of these products on the entire Pa
cific coast. Plants are also operated
at Santa Monica and PIT. Richmond.
The products of this company have
been universally recognized in competi-
ton with the leading brick manufac-
turers of the country, and as evil
dence of their value as regards ma
terial, quality and excellence, the grand
prize was awarded the company at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition at Sc
attic last year, when the company's
products distanced all other brick ex-
hibitors, this being the most import
ant prize that could be awarded. But
this was only additional evidence of
the high prestige of the California
made brick, which in 1903 received a
silver medal at the Louisiana Purchase
exposition at st. Louis, and again a
gold medal at Portland in 1905, and the
Lewis and Clark exposition.
In 1907, 1908 and 1909 the first
Angeles Pressed Brick company walked
away with the gold medal for suprem-
acy. In 1907, 1908 and 1909 the first
prizes for pressed and ffrebrick were

DEAL FOR SHANNON
COPPER FALLS FLAT

All negotiations for the purchase OF
the property of the Arizona Copper
company at Clifton and of the Shannon
Copper company at Metcalf, Ariz'' by
the Phelps-Dodge interests have been
postponed, but it is probable they Will
be renewed at an early date.
This is the latest information direct
from New York, and throws some lght
on the puzzling rumors that have been
in circulation for several weeks. 1t mas
been denied by Arizona agents of the
Phelps-Dodg company that any deal
at all was on for the Shannon and Arl-
zona copper mines.
The Phelps Dodge people have been
negotiating with officers of both the
shannon and Arizona companies. They
planned to form another syndicate 10
take over the properties. That syndi-
cate was also to operate the Detroit
Copper company, which the Phelps
Dodge corporation already owns

CROWN OIL COMPANY
PLACES BIG ORDER
FOR NEW MACHINERY

An order has been placed by the
Crown oil company with the oil Well
Supply company of Los Angeles for
first class standard drilling outfit. This
machinery will be delivered at the COM
pany's property in Ventura county next
week, when all Will be in readiness for

Ed C. Miller reported from the prop
erty yesterday that while excavating for
a pipe line which will connect the
springs with the water tank he exposed
about 175 feet of oil sands and shales
which are impregnated with oil and as
phaltum. This is one of the biggest oil
discoveries made upon the property, and
Mr.. Miller is OF the opinion that 1t will
be possible to develop wells of large
capacity by going back on the forma-
tion and tapping these oil sands and
shaies to a depth of about 1000 feet.

awarded this company at the Califor-
mia fairs at Sacramento.
Another substantial evidence of the
appreciation in which the leading con-
tractors and builders of the country
hold this company was shown recently
in Salt Lake City, when the Los An
geles Pressed Brick company was given
the contract to furnish the high art
faience tile in assorted colors for the
entire interior decorations for the new
Utah hotel building, being erected by
the powerful Mormon interests just
across the street from the famous Tab
ernace of Zion, to cost $1,500,000.
The company maintains a complete
and attractive display of its products
at the Los Angeles offices, 406414 Frost
building, where information desired by
and builders is courteously
furnished by officers of the concern.
The Los Angeles Pressed Brick COM
pany is managed by men of well known
reputation in the building world, and
the management is prepared to fur
nish estimates and take contracts to
supply all necessary pressed brick,
fancy brick, tile for roofing or decora-
tive effects, etc, required in the erec-
ton of build; gs, from a modest home
to the highest priced artistic structure.
The company supplies everything in
pressed and ornamental brick for the
construction of business BLOCKS store
buildings and warehouses, and 1t is the
aim of it's officers to always get out
orders on time, and to make shipments
and deli cries promptly.
The officers are Charles Fl. Frost
president; w. c. Patterson, vice pres
ident; Howard Frost, vice president
and West Hughes, secretary. These
gentlemen have been identified with the
brick and construction business OF the
Pacific coast for years, and are lead
ers in business thought and enterprise
who have done much to aid in the gen
eral upbuilding and expansion OF Los
Angeles. For this reason the Los An
geles Pressed Brick company Is pre-
pared by its facilities for optalnins
the best of materials for its PROD
nets and for the manufacture of same,
to give the contractor and builder the
best possible advantage, both as TO
quality and values.
