California Crude OLD
When Jud Elwood awoke one
morning in his cabin. located near
Bakersfield in the State of California,
and decided to go on a rabbit hunt,
by his lonely" he little dreamed
the result of that decision and the
subsequent trip was to lead to the
discovery of on eof the greatest Brown
Gold producing districts in the world:
and naturally the thought never oc-
CURED to Jud, because he had in
mind simply hunting for rabbits, not
minerals.
To quote Jud, as he gave the ac-
count of his find to the writer, he
on that morning left his cabin ac-
companied by his gun and dogs; and
Jud, by the way. was always fond
of dogs and had few that were as
good as any in Kern county; and Jud
knows good dog, too. and why not?
His old home, Bakersfield, is the Mec-
ca to which all really good ones
make an annual pilrigmage to attend
the great National Tryout. Well. to
continue Jud's story, he started out in
a direction to the northwest of his
cabin toward the foothills, and after
securing a good sized bag of cotton
tails was returning homeward, when
his attention was attracted in ons
direction to the different hues of the
early morning mist which. rising from
the soil, gave of a color that had
the appearance of being brown-col-
ored haze, or something" entirely
different from that noticeable in
other directions with the result that
Elwood was soon convinced of the
presence of Brown Gold, and the ex-
istence of the Kern river district to-
day proves his deductions to have
been correct.
Jud had hard work at first in his
efforts to convince friends and neigh
bors as to the Importance OF his find,
his deductions not being accepted
even by experts as being at all rea-
sonable, which brings to mind the
curious story told of the earliest dis
covery of Brown Gold in this coun-
try during the days of Col. Drake.
The Wise Ones at that time smiled
at the prospector, being amused at
the mere idea of finding Brown Gold
in the earth. The son of one old
farmer brought home the news of
Col. brakes find. which tc the mind
of the old man was utterly absurd,
consequently he would not believe 1t.

sequence in all probability would
have been that the great body of
mineral wealth which had been lying
there dormant for many ages would
have remained undisturbed II 1t were
not for the stranger who took advan-
tsge of the opportunity and backed
his judgment with money. This fact
is notorious in the history of the de-
velopment of the great Kern River
District. Practically, and excepting
one old firm which had pinned its
faith on what is now famous as the
West Side" the district where gush-
ers are making millionaires nearly
every day. tht brains and meanes
which developed the great Brown
Gold districts of California, which to-
day is by long odds the greatest pro-
ducing country in the world, came
from the outside; from the stranger.
The local capitalists and others OF
smaller means, being absolutely
blind as to the opportunity then with
in their grasp. From other portions
Of the state, California capital and
brains took a leading part in the
early development. Well known mer-
chants, lawyers, doctors, lumber and
fruit men taking leading part, and
to the list must be added the many
hundreds of the comparatively small
Ter investors, such as mechanics,
railroad men and particularly the
strong support and backing furnish
ed by the keen department store
employe-two Los Angeles stores
alone supporting hundreds OF invest
ors, each one helping the develop
ment in amounts that ranged from
$50 by the lady cashiers to $500
by the managers of departments.

indications and general appearance
of the country we're similar TO those
prevalent In the Kern River District.
This "crowding out" which led TO
the compulsory seeking for other dis
tricts was particularly fortunate
from the fact that 1t led to the
further exploiting, development and
ultimately the proving up OF the
greatest of all California Brown Gold
Districts--Coalinga."
The stupendous magnitude and the
recent rapid advancement made in the
development of this great Brown Gold
district Is such as fully warrants the

The authentic, up-to-date figures
used in order to substantiate the
statements made are those compiled
for the month OF March, 1910. and

markable from the fact that they

barrels OF ~ gallons each, the differ
ence In favor OF the Coalinga district
being 131, 900 barrels for the month.
BUT when the present development
OF both districts are taken into con-
sideration, the startling fact Is real
lied that the great Coalinga district
produced this enormous quantity OF
Brown Gold with less than one-half
the number of wells as compared with
the more thoroughly developed ,and
comparatively older district. the Kern
River.
And by further comparison OF the
average production per well in the
two districts II is shown that the
Coalinga district well produced two
and one-half times as much Brown
Gold as was produced by the Kern
River district well In the same period.
or in other words. to make the con-
trast more apparent. while the aver
age Kern river well was producing
800 barrels the average Coalinga
well was producing 1000 barrels.

with their subordinates in efforts to
