 Operators
 LOCAL COMPANYS SUCCESS Have California Property That Promises to Become a Gusher in a Few Days Well in Live Sand.

Quietly and without any blare of trumpets a number of Phoenix men got together last December, organ izcd an oil company, secured holdings in the well known Maricopa- Califor- nia oil fields. or rather near them, and now reports indicate that they have struck it rich" The name of the company is the Phoenix Interstate Oil company, ten Phoenix men being the incorporators. But before any refer cnce to the company is made the reader will be more interested in the strike which has brought the gen tlemen from under cover. for if they are to become millionaires their friends ought to know about it. The story of the strike on the company's ground, is recited as follows in the Fresno Morning Republican of the 4th instant:
 Developments of great interest to the Sunset field are following the drilling of the PhoeniX-Interstate Oil company's- well near the center of section 3-11-24, in the edge of the hills west of Maricopa and beyond what was once considered the western limit of the productive territory. At a depth of approximately 1000 feet the well is in the third live sand with ev- cry indication that it will be an ex- cellent producer
 The Phoenix Interstate is mile and a quarter west of the Adelaide's string of wells, and half a mile or more southwest of the line of develop ment marked sby the Adeline. Sunset Monarch Union and TannehiH wells on what was formerly known as the upper front of the Sunset field. The strike of the Phoenix follows similar strikes made last summer further soush, and confirms the belief that deeper sands struck by the Sunset gushers in sections 25. 26. B and 36, 12-24 extend beneath the older DOT tions of the Sunset field and far back beneath the hills-pOsSibly, as not a few claim, to the outcroppings on the other sile of the range. The Phoenix Interstate's well is not far from the outcroppings of the top oil sand which was tapped by the older Sunset wells and which was first supposed to be lHe Sull loldl or tue OH measures.
 "The success of this well has en- couraged development by the River side Maricopa on section 4, and the Los Angeles Midway on section 32 Section adjoins the land of the Phoenix Interstate on the west and is correspOndingly farther back in the hills, and section 32. cornering with on the northwest, is in relatively the same position as the Riverside Mari copa with reference to the line of producing wells.
 "The Riverside -Maricopa is running a water-line to its property on section f preparatory to drilling, and the Los Angeles Midway is assembling materials for one rig and 1t is an nounced that probably it will run three strings of tools"
