The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter THE WORKS FIASCO The folly of sending to Washington a man of John D. Works' calibre to represent California in the United States senate, was demonstrated Friday when that gentleman occupied the floor of the senate for an hour while the naval appropriation bill was under consideration, endeavoring futility to have inserted in it a clause establishing a submarine station at San Pedro. The erection of a naval base at this point for undersea craft was part of the administrtion's program for preparedness on the Pacific Coast. It was recommended by the senate committee on appropriations, and practically all the republican and democratic members endorsed it, but because Works had made himself so unpopular by his opposition to the other provisions of the bill, he was utterly ignored, and the clause, which a large majority of the senate favored was turned down. Since his election to the senate six years ago, Works has been in opposition to both the great political parties, and has aligned himself with La-Follette, Norris, Gronna, Vardaman and the other freaks of the senate. In spite of the overwhelming sentiment in California favoring a national defense system, Senator Works has consistently opposed all the govern- urges Von Eckhart to pursue Mexico and Japan to declare war against the United States in the event of hostilities between this country and Germany, was one of the most astounding pieces of news in the papers last week. The most surprising feature of the matter is that Zimmermann frankly admits that the letter is genuine, and justifies himself with the statement that it was a matter of reprisal as this government had attempted to stir up South American countries against Germany. As a reward for making war against the United States Von Eckhart was authorized to offer Carranza Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Spreading of birth information will be sanctioned if it is done by a licensed physician, if a bill which Assemblyman Marry Wishard of Los Angeles intends to introduce becomes a law. Wishard announced that he would introduce such a measure and stated that he was doing so at the suggestion of Southern California club women. The bill is in the nature of an amendment to the California penal codes which prohibits the spreading of any birth control information. ARSENICAL DUST IN GARDENS An arsenate of lead powder is very helpful in controlling the biting insects that are likely to attack several kinds of crops, and often appear very early in California. Any standard arsenate of lead powder may be secured, mixed with an equal amount of sulphur, flour, sifted ashes or any finely powdered neutral substance. One of the best of these powders, according to Professor A. L. Lovett, insect pest specialist at the Oregon Agricultural College, is the sifted ashes. The mixture is put into a small sack, or bag of similar mate- Since his election to the senate six years ago, Works has been in opposition to both the great political parties, and has aligned himself with LaFollette, Norris, Gronna, Vardaman and the other freaks of the senate. In spite of the overwhelming sentiment in California favoring a national defense system, Senator Works has consistently opposed all the government's plans for preparedness, and has endorsed the Bryan doctrine of peace at any price. Notwithstanding the crisis that now confronts this nation, when the bill providing for an increase in the army and navy was before congress he made a rabid speech in opposition to it and was one of the five cranks in the senate who voted against it. People on the Pacific coast have been clamoring for years for more adequate protection, but when the bill was introduced providing for more warships he voted against it. He opposed the proposition to increase the army, he opposed the appropriation for a navy yard at San Francisco, and when he attempted to get through an appropriation for a naval station in his own city he was contemptuously ignored, although a majority of the senators favored it. The electon of Works to the United States senate was a fatal mistake on the part of the voters of California. He has been an Ishmaelite in the senate. He took his seat six years ago. He has persistently opposed everything the majority favored, and every man's hand has been against him. He has misrepresented the people who elected him to this high office. He is responsible for the defeat of the much needed naval base on this coast, because of his opposition to everything else proposed for national defense. It is humiliating to the people of Southern California, who stand solidly behind the government's preparedness program, to know that they have been represented in the senate by a freak, and that through his assinine actions we are eliminated from benefits in the defense appropriation, and our coast is still left naked to a possible enemy. Works also humiliated his constituents and cast discredit upon his state by lining up with the filibusterers who defeated the bill giving President Wilson power to arm merchant vessels and take precautionary measures for national defense while congress was not in session. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Recently an election for vice-president was held which resulted in the election of Irving Quarton. In a primary election held before this Quarton and Henry Dalton were nominated. The final result was Quarton 39, Dalton 38. Quarton and Dalton are both well liked by all of the students which caused a close race. Monday was "comedy day" for the Seniors. Practically every member of the class was dressed up in various fantastic costumes. Ernie Heying proved to be a rival of Charlie Chaplin, while Walter Mickle would have frightened even the boldest pirate of sects that are likely to attack several kinds of crops, and often appear very early in California. Any standard arsenate of lead powder may be secured, mixed with an equal amount of sulphur, flour, sifted ashes or any finely powdered neutral substance. One of the best of these powders, according to Professor A. L. Lovett, insect pest specialist at the Oregon Agricultural College, is the sifted ashes. The mixture is put into a small sack, or bag of similar material, and shaken over the plants until the right amount has been applied. Being easily seen, the operator can apply as much or as little as he wishes. If applied in the early morning the moisture will cause the material to adhere to the leaves more closely. "This powder is very effective in controlling flea beetles, diabroticas, slugs, and other leaf eating pests that attack such crops as beans, lettuce, corn and squash," said Professor Lovett. "An application every 10 days should keep the pests under control except when followed by a rain, in which case the new application should be made when the rain ceases. Another means of securing protection from the leaf eaters to be used in connection with the powder is the use of trap crops. If in planting beans, for instance, a few hills of squash are planted, some of the vines may be allowed to bear fruit while others are left unsprayed or unpowdered to attract the pests. The pests move about freely from place to place, and simply killing of or driving away a single infestation does not secure immunity from further attack. Protection can be secured only by repeated measures." Mrs. Hahn attends but he was unconscious able to speak. She Richard Fischle and who live in the need to the barn and house.

Works of California, was one of the gang, and their actions were characterized by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska as the most disgraceful ever witnessed in the United States senate. These men do not represent their constituents. They are pacificists, and by their filibustering tactics tied the hands of the president, rendering this nation helpless in defense of its own. The ancient rule, still in force in the senate permitting unlimited debate, thereby giving one man, or a handful of men power to defeat the will of the majority, should be modified. ZIMMERMANN'S PLOT Publication of a letter written by Dr. Zimmermann, head of the German foreign affairs department to Count Von Eckhart, the recently appointed ambassador to Mexico, in which he Monday was "comedy day" for the Seniors. Practically every member of the class was dressed up in various fantastic costumes. Ernie Heying proved to be a rival of Charlie Chaplin, while Walter Mickle would have frightened even the boldest pirate of all. Several of the girls were dressed to resemble gypsies. "Comedy day" came as a surprise to the other classes which shows that the Seniors are to be congratulated upon being able to keep a secret. Tuesday morning in assembly a debate was held between the Juniors and Sophomores. The question was: "Resolved, That fraternities and sororities should be abolished in colleges and universities." The Sophomores represented by Kenneth Wallace and Mabel Tordy had the affirmative while the Juniors represented by Edward Nevens and Arthur Willet had the negative. The Sophomores won the debate by a 2 to 1 decision. At the business men's luncheon today Judge Howard will preside and J. R. Wagner of Los Angeles will be the speaker. His subject will be "California Lands." These luncheons are getting more popular each week. Last Thursday two hundred ladies and gentlemen were present to hear G. Harold Powell talk on cooperation. Frank Davis is assisting City Clerk Merritt in his assessment work this week. Mr. Merritt states that only one refrigerator car was found for assessment on the Anaheim tracks March 1. They were conspicuously absent on that day.

According to Mrs. Hahn he had not previously complained of feeling ill. At 12 o'clock he came into the house from the garden where he had been working and washed his hands at the sink. She informed him that dinner was on the table, but replying that he was not ungry, he went out to the barn. Thinking he might be ill she followed him shortly afterward, and just as she reached the barn door he raised his hands in the air and fell off a box on which he had been sitting. Mrs. Hahn attempted to raise him, but he was unconscious, or at least unable to speak. She called for help and Richard Fischle and N. R. Phillips, who live in the neighborhood, hastened to the barn and carried him into the house. He breathed his last just as they laid him on a bed. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlor Monday afternoon, Rev. C. W. F. Daniels NO MORE JOBS FOR MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE Appellate Court Decides Man Can't Draw Two Salaries (Special Correspondence to Gazette) No more jobs at the hands of the state machine for members of the legislature as a reward for their subservience to boss control is the meaning of a decision handed down from the Appellate court of Sacramento county in the case of Chenoweth against Comptroller Chambers for collection of salary as clerk of Folsom prison. Chenoweth was a member of the 1915 assembly and resigned before the expiration of his term to accept a place at the state pie counter which it was well understood at the time was promised as a reward for his fealty to the administration when it needed votes to pass the notorious non-partisan bills and could get a majority in no other way than by purchase in the open market. It was by this means that the governor secured the necessary votes to pass this non-partisan measures at the 1915 session and again to force the same dose down the throats of the people at the special session of 1916 after they had repudiated them at the polls in October 1915. Chenoweth made the point that by resigning as a member of the legislature he was eligible to hold an appointment, regardless of the adoption of the constitutional amendment declaring that no member should be so eligible during the term for which he was elected. The decision upholds in all particulars the constitutionality of the amendment declaring members of the legislature inelegible for appointment to salaried state jobs during their regular term of office. OIL FIELD NOTES STANDARD OIL CO. OPENS NEW TERRITORY The Standard Oil company's Montebello well on the Baldwin Hills lease is now on the beam and pumping 300 bbls. of nice clean oil of 23.5 gravity. A few weeks ago the water was cemented off at a depth of 2330, and on drilling out of the cement plug and going on down only a few feet a fine grade of oil sand was encountered, that gave every evidence of containing oil of commercial quantity. That oil was present and that a good well was in sight has been the opinion of Standard officials for the past week, but the details were withheld until the well could be put on the beam and tested out. A sample of oil tested recently revealed the fact that the product is practically clean, containing a fraction over one per cent emulsion. The gravity of the oil being well up makes the new well a valuable producer. The wonderful success of this company at Montebello has started other developers at high speed. An adjoining lease holder is rushing two rigs up and will commence drilling as soon as he can get under way. It is understood that a number of leases have been taken and activity will be strong around the newly opened Whitier field. The Standard is making preparations to drill three more wells on the tract as soon as the preliminary arrangements can be made and the grades and rigs constructed. The Standard is to be congratulated on their success and are to be commended in sticking to the course of their convictions and getting a well in a field that has not been very favorably considered heretofore. The find opens up a vast area of new oil territory and makes the local field many more times as valuable as it was a few months ago. NEW OIL COMPANY DRILLING AT PLACENTIA The New Era Oil Company, a San Mrs. Hahn attempted to raise him, but he was unconscious, or at least unable to speak. She called for help and Richard Fischle and N. R. Phillips, who live in the neighborhood, hastened to the barn and carried him into the house. He breathed his last just as they laid him on a bed. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Monday afternoon, Rev. C. W. F. Daniels being in charge, and the remains were buried in Anaheim cemetery. He was 67 years of age. Mr. Hahn was a prominent horseman in his younger days. Before coming to California he had charge of Senator Mark Hanna's stables at Cleveland, and had also been in the employ of John D. Rockefeller. He brought a string of racers with him to Fresno when he came to California, and later purchased the ground on which the town of Coalinga now stands. He came to Orange county twenty-three years ago and was prominent in racing circles when horse racing was a popular sport. Mr. Hahn was the owner of Olinda Richmond, one of the most famous racers of California. He sold Richmond to a Pasadena capitalist, who used him for a diving horse. He was formerly owner of the Palace stable on Los Angeles street, near the public library, but disposed of his business six years ago, and has since lived a retired life. He was a man who enjoyed the esteem of all his acquaintances who deplore his sudden taking off. A large number of friends attended the funeral services at the chapel on Monday afternoon. Mrs. E. H. Adams, Mrs G. W. Alexander and Mrs J. L. Gillette were the singers. The pall bearers were Theodore Ford, Carl Pressel, Clem Amberg, Frank leib, Robert Dunn and Victor Ing. Emil Moran, retired, of New York City, an old time friend of John and George Ziegler, arrived here Monday and may decide to locate permanently. Mr. Moran was in the employ of A. A. Marks, manufacturer of artificial limbs at Fourth street and Broadway, for the past thirty five years. He is delighted with Southern California, and is amazed at our glorious climate. Mr. Moran declared New York to be the greatest city in the world, but he resigning as a member of the legislature he was eligible to hold an appointment, regardless of the adoption of the constitutional amendment declaring that no member should be so eligible during the term for which he was elected. The decision upholds in all particulars the constitutionality of the amendment declaring members of the legislature ineligible for appointment to salaried state jobs during their regular term of office. The court declares that if the Chenoweth contention were true any member could resign after the close of the session to accept and hold an appointment during the remaining portion of the term for which he was elected. The decision goes to the very root of the patronage system as practiced by Governor Johnson during the past six years and by means of which he has been able to build up the greatest political machine in the history of California. It declares that those who make the laws should have no part in their execution and that a legislator who seeks a position is too apt to vote as the appointing power desires, regardless of his personal views and convictions; that such a man places himself, to say the lease, not in the independent frame of mind which should be possessed by an ideal legislator. Over a score of members of the 1915 legislature held other salaried positions and without exception voted in a solid body as the administration directed. It was notorious that members bargained for appointive jobs under the governor as the price of their support of his measures and that in one case of emergency when the administration needed just one vote, the bargain was made in three minutes time in the very assembly chamber during a call of the house. This debauchery of the legislature was open and without shame. But the end of this has come and there are signs of better things in the future. The whip hands of Neylan and McCabe, the governor's chief lieutenants in his system of legislative debauchery in the past, have lost their potency. About the only thing left them is the venting their spleen in petty, contemptible ways on defenceless women. A former lady attache of the senate called at the bill room for copies of certain measures and was refused, the reason finally being given that McCabe had ordered that she was not to deal for a fair-minded man like Wills. One poor innocent who took orders and voted with the hogs for the illegal disposition of the attache fund in explaining the trouble to his constituents during the recess said there were not enough appointments to go round and someone had to be disappointed. He was careful not to tell them that the hogging of so many appointments by members of the Bay district and Sacramento was the reason why there were not enough places to go around. These things are only told to show the system of graft and tyranny under which the administration conducts its grades and rigs constructed. The Standard is to be congratulated on their success and are to be commended in sticking to the course of their convictions and getting a well in a field that has not been very favorably considered heretofore. The find opens up a vast area of new oil territory and makes the local field many more times as valuable as it was a few months ago. NEW OIL COMPANY DRILLING AT PLACENTIA The New Era Oil Company, a San Diego concern started drilling on their lease near Placentia a few days ago, and will no doubt be the center of interest for a time along the southern boundary of the Orange county field. The New Era company are using a combination hydraulic and rotary outfit, and it is understood that serious difficulties have already been encountered. The sand and mud is too heavy to be handled by the hydraulic method to advantage, and doubtless the operators will be compelled to go back to the good old fashioned rotary before going ahead much further. The location looks good to local experts, in that it bears a striking similarity to the Bell Ridge property in the northern field. Another wild cat that looks exceedingly good is the Copa De Ora company's well. That an oil well will reward this company for their work and money invested is a good guess at the present time. The well now stands at a depth of 2800 feet. It was drilled ahead of the pipe for a considerable distance and the hole is being underreamed at the present time. The formation is brown shale and the gas pressure continues strong. The writer was out through the country adjoining the Copa De Ora well and is willing to predict an oil well for the wildcatters. The location looks as good as any well in the Brea field. Another concern, the Gold Seal Oil company operating on a lease adjoinning the Copa De Ora company have their well down a little better than 1700 feet, and drilling was going along nicely until a few days ago a lost bit delayed drilling progress. However at this comparative shallow depth they deal for a fair minded man like Wills. One poor innocent who took orders and voted with the hogs for the illegal disposition of the attache fund in explaining the trouble to his constituents during the recess said there were not enough appointments to go round and someone had to be disappointed. He was careful not to tell them that the hogging of so many appointments by members of the Bay district and Sacramento was the reason why there were not enough places to go around. These things are only told to show the system of graft and tyranny under which the administration conducts its Emil Moran, retired, of New York City, an old time friend of John and George Ziegler, arrived here Monday and may decide to locate permanently. Mr. Moran was in the employ of A. A. Marks, manufacturer of artificial limbs at Fourth street and Broadway, for the past thirty five years. He is delighted with Southern California, and, is amazed at our glorious climate. Mr. Moran declared New York to be the greatest city in the world, but he has become fatigued at the city's ceaseless hurry and scurry for the almighty dollar, and would now seek a more quiet life in the farout west, where the fragrance of the orange blossoms permeate the air. Mr. Moran says a fresh ranch egg is of an unknown quantity in the great city, and that foodstuffs are at present abnormally high. Mr. Moran says the much boasted Fifth Avenue is not in it with our wide and cleanly kept streets, and when it comes to the metropolitan police force, that organization easily carries of the medal for graft—every officer above the station of lieutenant being looked upon with suspicion. Word was received at the German Consulate at Los Angeles last week that Arthur Von Heldelcamp had fallen into the hands of the British and was now a prisoner on the Isle of Man. Von Heldelcamp was formerly a clerk in the First National Bank of Anaheim. He left here three years ago and accepted a similar position in Los Angeles. In November he left to join the German army but was taken off the vessel by the British and has since been confined in a military prison. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Berdrow and son Charles, came down from Los Angeles Sunday on a visit to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Naugle. The ship hands of Reynolds and McCabe, the governor's chief lieutenants in his system of legislative debauchery in the past, have lost their potency. About the only thing left them is the venting their spleen in petty, contemptible ways on defenceless women. A former lady attache of the senate called at the bill room for copies of certain measures and was refused, the reason finally being given that McCabe had ordered that she was not to receive any courtesies. Another with four little children dependent on her for support, was refused reappointment to a position she had held before the recess on the ground that her associations were entirely too much with republicans, chief among them being Frank Jordan, secretary of state, and McCabe had said it was their last chance to hit him. Brave McCabe! Strike defenceless women and children for the sage of hitting Frank Jordan. The lady in this case was of such exceptional merit that Assemblyman Wills attempted to help her out and was flatly turned down, a member of the attache committee informing her later that Wills no longer had any influence as he had been making a fool of himself lately. Wills' crime consisted in voting against the wholesale hogging of the attache fund by the administration caucus' majority to the entire exclusion of the minority. He has always been a conscientious supporter of the administration in the past but that one little vote in the interest of decency and fair play was sufficient ground for a member of the attache committee saying "Wills needn't be counted on for anything with this committee as he has been making a fool of himself lately." Some members of the assembly have two, three, four and five appointments which was too hoggish a disposition of the trouble to his constituents during the recess said there were not enough appointments to go round and someone had to be disappointed. He was careful not to tell them that the hogging of so many appointments by members of the Bay district and Sacramento was the reason why there were not enough places to go around. These things are only told to show the system of graft and tyranny under which the administration conducts its affairs at Sacramento. It is a popular impression among the people that the affairs of the state are conducted on the principle of fairplay and a square deal to all. A greater fallacy never was known. There is an organization forming, the "cow county members", the Bee contemptuously calls it, and drawing into its membership a goodly number of heretofore pronounced Johnson men who are dissatisfied with the present status of affairs. This promises to become more of a plague to the powers that be than the gnat that lighted on the bull's horn. The Bee, alarmed at the possible power of the organization, declares it is planning a raid on the state treasury and quite bestirs itself to bring its members into discredit. These men are beginning to ask why Sacramento, San Francisco and certain favored commissions and institutions are so highly favored in the budget plan of the board of control at the expense of other portions of the state. If they have able leadership, staying qualities, and consistent and conservative, they will give the financial geniuses composing the board such a jolt in the next four weeks that they won't know on which side their livers lie, and they too, will join in the cry "Stay with us Hiram, stay with us. The plunderbund needs you more than the United States." NOTES D. OPENS NEW ORY company's Montealdwin Hills lease and pumping 300 mil of 235 gravity.

ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS SINCE 1789, BEGINNING WITH GEORGE WASHINGTON, THIS REPUBLIC HAS INAUGURATED A PRESIDENT. POWERFUL PARTIES AND GREAT MEN HAVE RISEN TO POWER AND PASSED AWAY BUT OUR INAUGURATION CEREMONY STILL SURVIVES. THE INAUGURATION OF WOODROW WILSON AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MEANS TO THE NATION WHAT THE INSTALLATION OF NATURAL GAS MEANS TO THE MODERN HOUSEWIFE. THE ANAHEIM HOME OF TODAY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS GREAT CONVENIENCE, NATURAL GAS, FOR COOKING, HEATING AND FOR LIGHTING PURPOSES IS LIKE A NATION WITHOUT A PRESIDENT. GAS IS THE MOST INDISPENSABLE ITEM IN THE MODERN HOME. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO COMFORT IN EVERY HOUSEHOLD. GAS LESSONS THE BURDEN OF THE HOUSEWIFE. IT ELIMINATES WASTE, AND IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL OF ALL FUELS FOR COOKING, HEATING AND LIGHTING. THIS WEEK, WHILE THE NATION IS INAUGURATING ITS TWENTY-SEVENTH PRESIDENT, MANY LOCAL HOUSEWIVES ARE PLANNING THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW AND SUPERIOR FUEL, NATURAL GAS. THIS PRODUCT PLACES THE HOME DIRECTLY ON THE ROAD TO ECONOMY. JOIN THE CONSTANTLY GROWING ARMY OF FORTY THOUSAND SATISFIED CONSUMERS AND ORDER NATURAL GAS TODAY. IT SOLVES THE FUEL PROBLEM.

"Mike" Burrows field superintendent of the General Petroleum company, states that his company will commence drilling on the Carson tract in a few days and will have a lot of hole made before the end of the week. The rigging-up crew have completed their work and everything is in readiness for the wheels to begin turning. It will develop into a race to see who will get the oil first in the water front field. The Standard is busy at Dominguez, the Union at Bixby and the General Petroleum on the Carson tract. FREAK WELL QUITS The Brea Canyon Oil company's well No. 29 that caused so much excitement in this field two weeks ago, quit producing as suddenly as it started. The well started to flow at a depth of 2000 feet and made a flow of 2000 bbls a day for several days. Since then the well has been gradually coming down Just before the well quit producing it was making 300 bbls a day. It will be cleaned and an effort made to get it to produce again. No. 14, a former producer is being redrilled and deepened and No. 30 is drilling at 360 feet. The Brea Canyon company are having installed on their property on of the Petroleum Rectifying company's electrical dehydration plants and will clean their production in the future. The plant is the four unit type and will reduce oil containing as high as 65% emulsion to less than one per cent. The Brea Gasoline company has about completed the construction of a new office building near the plant. The grounds are also being beautified with palm bordered driveways, and other improvements. When completed the office building and grounds around the plant will present a very pleasing effect and prove to our visitors that the oil business can be made beautiful as well as renumerative. The Fullerton Oil company report excellent progress on the drilling of Nos. 10 and 11. No. 10 is now making hole at 2597. No. 11 is drilling at 2637. The pumping at No. 12 is still being kept up. The well while making a considerable amount of water is thought to be showing a little more oil as the testing out continues. The well will be given a long and thorough test. UNION HAS MUCH WORK AHEAD The Union Oil company is developing this field as rapidly as conservative and careful work will allow. The company has every department working and gives evidence of being as good a well as there is in the Olinda district. The gas pressure is pretty strong and the hole is standing full of fluid. The Santa Fe have No. 74 drilling at 3437. No. 75 is 2686 and No. 76 is down 1560 in the shale. No. 77 is drilling in the conglomerate at 835 feet. The progress is slow at 77 on account of the hard formation. A new well, No. 78 will be started as soon as No. 41 can be put on the beam. The Standard Oil company completed No. 28 on the Emery early in the week. The well is doing 245 bbls of 20 gravity oil. On the same lease No. 29 is drilling at 3300, No. 30 at 3800, No. 31 at 3200 and No. 32 is also at 3200. On the Murphy least the redrilling of No. 21 is well under way. No. 23 is going good at 3400, Nos. 26, 27, 28, and 29 are all being redrilled. A new rig stands for No. 30 and grades are ready for Nos. 31 and 32. On the Whittier lease the Standard has No. 41 cemented at 2866, No. 42 is being deepened. Nos. 46 and 47 are drilling, No. 48 is being rigged. Grades are being made for numbers 49 and 50, and a location for No. 51 has been marked. This company is making good progress at Dominguez. The tools are running ahead of the casing, the 10-inch being carried. Coyote 2-9 reported as started to drill is now down close to 1000 feet. At Coyote 3-2 the cement plug has been drilled out and the well is going down again. The West Coast Oil company have three wells drilling and all have made a very creditable showing since last reported. No. 54 is now drilling at 2380 feet in the shale, No. 80 is going good at 2375 despite the exceedingly hard formation and No. 84 is drilling at 1426. The Amalgamated Oil company have no development work under way at present and just when the work will be resumed is a matter of speculation. No. 26 on the Hualde is standing cemented. No. 40 on the Anaheim lease will probably be deepened. No. 41 has been suspended for the time being.
