Intervening between the time of the

that a higher gravity oil could be mined
On this vicinity than in any other part
of the west side field. 1t was the Homo
lulu also that proved the territory IN
cluded in the Buena Vista nils. since
this we'll was brought in there has
been a regular stampede TO acquire
holdings, with the result that all land
for a distance Of eleven miles through
tbe Ruena Vista hills has been taken,
and every section of land is now being
developed. The eleven miles extend
from the property Of the Grown Oil
company, section 80, 1925, to the Bar
nodon property, in section 4, Sl-2S'
LAND HELD AT PREMIUM
Property in this territory is now be-
ing held at a premium, and those VINO
got in when the land was changing
hands consider they we're the lucklest
oil operators in the entire west side
field. The gravity Of the oil from the
Honolulu is 29 degrees, the best there
fore that has ever been found in this
very rich territory Of the San Joaquin
valley gushers. There is also a huge
quantity of natural gas in the Buena
Vista hills, as proved by the gas well
brought in by the Honolulu Consoll-
dated company in section IA, S2-24' ad-
Joining the high-gravity oil gusher.
The dip of the oil sands indicates that
this is deep territory and that at depth
q better quality and a greater quantity
of oil is to be found than further back
toward the Temblor range. Wells OF
necessity must be deeper here, but the
results will probably be more profit
able.
Among the new companies to enter
this territory is the Grown, which has
already a well over 100 feet deep in the
Sespe country of Ventura county. These
people have completed reinforced der
rick on section 30, 1925, adjoining the
Honolulu property, and expect to be
drilling within very short time. rms

experts, and it is the opinion of men

and controlled by new and younger
men in the industry here. This pipe
line, the parallel lines and the line
which will be constructed from Kern
county to the mining camps and rail-
roads in Arizona will give the oil from
the several San Joaquin valley fields
an ample outlet. and be able to care
for the supply for time to come.
1t is therefore a fact that with the
demand increasing rapidly every month
there can be no overproduction in Cali
fornta. The many companies that are
rushing new work in the fields and
bringing in wells almost every day
substantiate this conclusion
California oil, as it were, has Just
begun to be introduced to the world
1t is being shipped to the Orient, the
islands of the Pacific and up and down
the coast as far as commerce goes
New people are using this oil and the
old people are taking more of it than
in former days. The industry is in it's
infancy, but now that it is being uni
versally introduced the years to come
must witness a growth that will double
many times over.
The great fields of the San Joaquin
valley are vast and practically unde-
Veloped, save for spots here and there,
making it clear that there is plenty of
room for others, plenty of ground from
which to round out millions of dollars
in profit, plenty Of oil awaiting the
drill to turn 1t into gold and plenty of
buyers at good prices for many years

depth of 1850 feet with rotary. meet
ing with perfect success all the way
down. The gas we'll on section Il
was also drilled with a rotary to Its
full depth of 1900 feet. The splendid
results obtained with the rotary by the
Honolulu have induced the Crown peo-
pie to consider such a drill for the
drlIllng or their wen. line matter IL
still under advisement and in the
meantime rotary operations in the
field are being closely watched.
To substantiate the claim made that
the Honolulu property is among the
most valuable in Kern county the Stan
dard Oil company has acquired large
holdings in the basin. r. X. Howk,
one of the best informed oil men in the
field, gives as his opinion that the
Honolulu, and in consequence Its
neighbor, the Crown. hold the most
valuable property in the entire field.
Patented land in that vicinity is held
at from S1700 to $1,000 an acre. Mat
son and Crandall recently made a first
payment of $4,000 cash near the Crown
property. the entire acreage calling for
a fee of $4,000.
CROWN COMPLETES DERRICK
The Crowns derrick was completed
last week Gas from the Honolulu,
a quarter Of a mile away, will be used
for fuel in drilling this well. This gas
will be piped as will also the water
from the Honolulu. BY using gas con-
siderable saving in operating expenses
will be made.
Among the active interests now in
the Buena Vista hills are Crandall and
nance, the Crown, the Mays Oil com
pany and Barnadon interests. High
class camps are being established in
the Buena Vista hills. Work already
done and work outlined to be done in
the Buena Vista hills aggregates an
expenditure of $25000,0 900. The great
drawback at present is the supply
houses are unable to meet the demand
for material for rig building and drill
ing. otherwise there would be far
greater activity.
One of the best evidences that oil
exists on the Crown property in section
30, 1925, is in the form of freak
we'll drilled for water some four years
ago by r. W. Skinner. who took up
the land for a homestead. This water
we'll was drilled to a depth of 1872 feet.
at which point was encountered
strong petroleum gas and spots of oil
The ranch hands who drilled the well
thought when they heard a roaring in
| the we'll that they were approaching
| an artesian flow of water but to their
dismay (and later to Skinner's profit
they found the water was so strongly
charged with petroleum gas that even
the stock on the ranch would not
drink it. This water is as bitter as
uuinine and very repulsive to the
taste. Skinners water well and the
Crown property are located on the
same quarter section. That the Crown
is reasonably sure of getting a gusher
here is now the general opinion.

HOW CAN YOU BECOME A PRODUCER3

I know that some men who have ventured in deals
which have not turned out we'll still hesitant
and fearful lest they may make mistake about en-
gaging in the oil business.
But there is sound reason for forming corpora
tons to produce petroleum. One man may not care
dare to spend enough to put down a we'll He
may have the chance to get hold of property on
which it would be'wise to bore a hole. He may not
have the time to look after the details of drilling or
look into the matters of title lease and contracts
But company may form in which give
their time to the office work and others to the field
where all put in their capital and all share alike in
the expenses and in the when they come in
Such organization is truly cooperative and is
an ideal manner of investment for the man who has
only few hundreds that he can afford to spare.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-19
Oil Reasons
No. 2

My second reason why you should invest in oil is
this: You should be Producer. Go to producing,
and you get to the fountain heads of wealth. The
producer enriches himself without impoverishng
others. 1t is new wealth You are the creator
Most men are consumers-always that and moth
ing more. The consumer pays the Tariff and the
Taxes, the Freight and the Graft. He does nothing
but pay-pay-pay
Be a Producer. Then you have something to
sell-sell-sell. The consumer pays you. You have
it. He has have it and he has to pay you to get it.
Do you know that an ordinary oil we'll will earn
you more money in day than you could with
your bare hands in month? Do you know that it
brings in net receipts which better than the ordi
nary mercantile business? Do you know that if
you producing oil well you needn't work an
other day unless you want to?
