BIG DEAL PENDING
IN OIL PROPERTIES
Dutch Company May Ac-
quire General Petroleum
and Union Oil

That a big deal affecting California
oil properties is pending is a general
belief in well informed financial cir.
cles- That the She'll Royal Dutch in
terests are principals in the deal is
deciared TO be a fact. The identity of
the other parties thereto heretofore
has been less certain.
II was asserted yesterday with posi-
tlNeness. however, that the California
corporation concerned is the General
Petroleum company. 1t was further
asserted that the Union Oil company
IS likely TO be brought into the deal
through the exercise of General Petro-
ieum's option upon that company. The
combined authorized capital stock of
the two California corporations is
$100.o .o00. 600
The reported deal was denied with.
leum and by representatives of the
Shell Transport and Trading company.
The denial did not lessen the positive
ness Of those who professed to know
The She'll Royal Dutch interests are
the strongest rivals of Standard Oil.
Rothschilds and the Dutch government.
Ever since they established an agency
here through the American Gasoline
company and began the importation
OF refined oils from the Island of
Sumatra there have been rumors of
requirement of California fields. These
have been consistently denied
Reported negotiations with the Asso-
ciated Oil company were followed by
cabIagram from London that the
Shell-Royal Dutch people were about
to purchase the California oil Fields
Limited for s13,000,00O. This story was
given strength by dispatch from New
York TO the effect that not only the
California Oil Fields. but the Monarch
Refining company. as we'll, would be
taken over
These rumors We're denied together
and severally yesterday by an officer
of the American Gasoline company.
Purchase of the California Oil Fields,
he said, would naturally be made in
London, where the principal officers of
the company are, but he was reason
ably sure that there was nothing in
the story
ss have ss bsf bsf many nst tS oil asorns
Fields. Ltd, to my knowledg ge, he said.
There b. been investigation of some
of t. properties-you can call it ne
gotiation. IL YOU like-but no options
have been obtained on any California
oil property"
Apparent corroboration is given the
General Petroleum story by the report
that an inventory has just been COM
pieted of all the General Petroleum
property. One of the greatest assets of
the company is its option on the Union
OH company. 1t is asserted that the
Union Oil directors recently offered to
purchase back this option, with in
terest, but that +. J. de Saba Jr, presi-
offer.
General Petroleum owns or controls
1854 acres in various California oil
fields and $4,000 acres in Mexico. 1t
owns 100 producing oil wells yielding
$3.50, 600 barrels per annum, with 80
other wells being drilled. Il also pos
sesses four ref1neries and 73 per cent
of the capital stock of the General Pipe
Line company. Tt has outstanding $12,-
So5,oo0 In bonds and s34,S14,6o0, In
stock, besides note issue of s3,000,00o.
Its authorized stock is $4,000 900 The
authorized capital stock of the Union
OIL company is of equal amount
