News Notes of the Oil Fields LONG BEACH The Great Oil Company completed its No. 1 at 2976 and put the well on a production test. The initial flow looked like a 1000 barrel producer. The well quickly sanded up and is now being cleaned out and the tubing and rods put in. CrestConsolidated drilled to 2200 and bridged back to 853 with 15 1-2. The Dabney Oil Syndicate is dismantling well No. 2 and will move the rig and equipment to property near the Shell Company's Andrews lease on the north side of Signal Hill or rather on the flat country at the foot of the hill. Dabney No. 1 stands idle at 2577 awaiting developments. A. T. Jergins, associated with W.R. Ramsey, has taken over the well and properties of the National Crude and will complete No. 1 now drilling at 3300 feet. The well is looking exceptionally good, 200 feet of oil sand has been drilled through and the sand still continues. A boulder in the hole at 645 has held Leonard No. 1 up the greater part of the week and the progress that was expected will be made this coming week. Leonard No. 1, formerly Hunkington Owners, is regarded as an exceptionally good location and should make a nice well. Development work on the Petroleum Midway's properties is going ahead rapidly. Ellis No. 1 set the 10 inch at 2679 and is being ballied down for a water test. Indications predict a successful shutoff. McDavid No. 1 set 578 feet of 15 1-2, Alamitos No. 1 is rigging up. Rosenfield is rigging up and the rig is completed for Brown No. 1. The Standard Oil Company has the rig up for Bixby No. 2. The second test well is located about a quarter of a mile south of No. 1, drilled to 5540 and found dry. Alamitos No. 1 at 2800 has a bad fishing job and the solution now looks like move the rig. Lomita No. 1 shows 1700 feet of hole, L.B. S. & T.N. I is at 2500 and Sylvester No. set pipe at 2500 feet. Torrence No. 1 at 4485 shows no progress. As yet all effort to get the 4 1-4 out have been unavailing. With the oil string out the intention is to deepen the Torrence well. The Shell Company has decided to make Wilbur No. 1 the third gas well on the Hill to blow out and burn a commercial gas well. Connection and the necessary piping is now being done. Between the -8 and 10 inch strings the well is producing between 2 and 8 million cubic feet. The 8 inch is capped and just what amount would come through this string can only be conjectured. The Shell Company is rigging up the cable tools to go in and deepen Horsch No. 1.

ANAHEIM DAILY HERALD MAKERS OF CIGARETTES SAY PRICE CANNOT BE CUT NOW In spite of the fact that chain stores in the larger cities are engaged in a ruthless price-cutting war in the retailing of popular-priced cigarettes, leading manufacturers are not yet ready to predict a permanent revision of prices. As long as the leaf tobacco market continues to hold to the present top figures and revenue taxes continue at the present schedule, it is declared, it will be impossible to reduce manufacturing costs to a point where lower prices can be announced. This opinion is based on the prevailing prices for leaf tobacco traded in since August, when the local warehouses of the famous Southern tobacco districts opened their doors for the 1921-1922 season. Curtailed tobacco acreage and an unfavorable season are said to be responsible for the present high market. As is well known, the process of cigarette manufacture involve from two to three years of aging or seasoning, so that prevailing factory costs must be based on the purchase price of tobacco bought in the high markets of 1918-1920. Latest quotations, moreover, indicate a rising tendency in the 1921 market with averages that will come close to equalling the best prices of the preceding three years. For example, in the leading markets of Virginia and North Carolina, which include Danville, Wilson, Winston-Salem, Durham, and other prominent markets, the production has not declined very much. However the Shell Company is anxious to know what is further down and will drill to find out. Alamitos No. 2 at 3325 is in grey sand showing oil and gas. Alamitos No. 3, 3496 feet deep, has pipe trouble at 2300 and will be delayed some little time. Andrews No. 1 is building rig: Bisby No. 1 set 621 feet of 15. Babb-Tucker 3131 feet deep set the 8 inch at 3080. Cherry Hill No. 1 is ment trading centers, the average opening price on September 20 for leaf tobacco was close to $25 per hundred pounds. With the exception of a slight slump during the first week, average prices have steadily climbed to levels ranging between $35 and $50. Many "piles" of fine grade tobacco have been sold for 80 and 90 cents a pound, while a number of farmers have averaged 70 cents for their entire crop of tobacco. Keen competition is reported in the bidding for the better grades. Prevailing averages for 1921 bid fair to equal those for September of 1919, when prices were thought to be unusually high notwithstanding the better quality of the 19'9 crop. Some idea of the trend can be gained by the fact that in December of that year, a top average figure of 63 cents per pound was reached in North Carolina. This compares with a low average of 10.6 cents in 1910, according to crop reports of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Present price cuts in retail stores are thought to be the result of keen competition among chain stores and independent retailers in a merry scramble for increased volume and quick turnover with little or no profit.
