OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER September is proving to be one of the biggest months in the history of the development of the Southern California field. Thus far better than 3,000 barrels daily has been added to the production. Development work in all parts of the field is moving with wonderful speed. The past week saw the entrance of two new oil companies into the field. The newcomers are the Montebello National, and the Bell of Montebello. These new operators chose the Montebello field for their initial attempts. Both companies have good acreages and are close to the proven territory. Six new wells were located during the past week, and work has already commenced on three of them. Completions number three wells. The production of one well is better than a thousand barrels. The other two are in wild-cat territory, but both are showing up strong. At a depth of 2,763 feet the Standard Oil Company has discontinued the drilling of its Kraemer No. 1 and will put the well on the beam. The pipe has been perforated, the tubing and rods are going in and before the middle of the week the well that has attracted the attention of operators throughout Southern California will be tested out and the results known. The formation for the last hundred feet drilled has been a mixture of oil sand and good shale. The well is live with gas, and the showing of oil in the hole for the past couple of weeks has led observers to believe that a big well is in sight. oil is concerned the well has never shown a color. It would seem that three months' pumping test should satisfy the most conservative operator. Here perhaps as in many other instances the state mining bureau and the management are unable to get together on the water situation, and the well goes on pumping and pumping and produces nothing but water. The country needs the oil and it is high time that the Huntington property be prospected further and the well now being tested out drilled deeper and made to produce some oil. That Newport is about to become one of the new oil fields of Southern reduced to 200 barrels, but as far as California is now a fact beyond a doubt. It seems that the honor of opening up this new oil field will go to the Liberty Petroleum Company. This company has its initial well down now 2,095 feet. The showing of oil is the best ever noted in a rotary hole and the management place the outcome of the well at the conservative figure of 200 barrels. The oil will probably be about 12 gravity. It is the intention of the Liberty to drill the well a 100 feet further or more and put it on the beam in a few days. Early next week the results of this well that has held the attention of the oil operators for the past two months will be known. As soon as this well is put on the beam it is the intention of the company, announced here today, to drill a second well, and put the second well down to a greater depth and test out the possibility of deeper sands. The Standard Oil Company's Newport well, a mile north of the Liberty Petroleum Company's oil showing well is now drilling at 3,075. It seems the Standard is trying to locate and develop a lower sand, as the study was unknown to the oil not produced a drop off that are drilling and tion are No. 7 which he ed at 3,051.

The well is live with gas, and the showing of oil in the hole for the past couple of weeks has led observers to believe that a big well is in sight. Success on the Kraemer property by the Standard Oil Company will mean the enlivening of the Brea field to the boom days of six years ago and the opening of several thousand acres of the eastern end of the field. A few years ago this property was considered to be of little value as far as oil was concerned, the showing at Kraemer is contradicting the idea rapidly. Every available piece of property has been leased-up in event the Kraemer well comes up to expectations which no doubt it will. No. 29, one of the biggest wells brought in in the Brea Canyon field this year has settled down to 800 barrels a day and is flowing steadily, the quality of the oil being high and the product clean. The well was put to producing a week ago and came in doing better than a thousand barrels. The well is a remarkable one in that the production is coming from the shale. At 4,131 feet a fishing job developed causing the drilling to be discontinued after only 26 feet of oil sand had been pierced. With a string of tools in the bottom of the hole and no oil sand to draw from the well is a wonder. Two years' work and the expenditure of a hundred thousand dollars has not caused the owners of the Copa De Oro Oil Company to lose all faith in their Brea Canyon territory. A persistent rumor has it this company will drill another well. A recent interview with one of the officials of the company brought out the fact that the management feel sure that the oil is there somewhere, and an effort would be made to carry on further development work. The first test well was drilled to a depth of 3,980 feet, and it is the opinion of a number of the leading operators here that if the well had been continued 200 feet deeper the results would have been undoubtedly different. For six years hard luck of the hardest variety has dogged the footsteps of the Fullerton Oil Company, causing progress to be so slow on two wells As soon as this well is put on the beam it is the intention of the company, announced here today, to drill a second well, and put the second well down to a greater depth and test out the possibility of deeper sands. The Standard Oil Company's Newport well, a mile north of the Liberty Petroleum Company's oil showing well is now drilling at 3,075. It seems the Standard is trying to locate and develop a lower sand, as the study of wells drilled here a number of years ago would indicate the existence of the deeper oil bearing sands. At 3,075 this well is drilling in hard sand with no very promising showings of oil. The condition of the hole is good and rapid progress is being made considering the depth of the well and the hard formation in which the tools are working. At Bastanchury No. 5 a fishing job has developed in No. 5, the deepest well now drilling in the Brea field. At 4,735 feet a string of tools were lost in the hole and two weeks of continuous fishing has failed to get them out. Previous to the mishap this well was showing up very good, much better than any well drilled on this property thus far and the Union was anxious to complete the well and test it out. James Kammerdiner, a veteran at the oil game and a master at fishing out lost tools, is in charge of the well, and he is expected to save this deep hole from total loss. At No. 6, also a deep well, a fishing job developed at a depth of 4,160 feet. However the chances for getting out clear and resuming drilling in a few days are good. At over the 4,000 foot mark this well has shown very little indication of oil, and seems to point toward a deeper sand if oil is to be found. The Bastanchury property lies close to the famous Murphy lease where wells of from one to 10,000 barrels' capacity have been brought in during the last two years. Drilling in a nice grade of sandy shale at a depth of 2,900 feet, the Union Oil Company Chapman well is looking very good. The well is showing considerable oil and gas, and it is safe to say that an oil well will be brought in on the Chapman property in the next few weeks. Some 2,800 feet of 81-4 inch pipe has been put in the hole and the drilling conditions are excellent. The Union Oil Company is developing its La Merced property as rapidly as possible. As fast as a well is completed a new one is started. This starting of drill nearing completion will be drilled on the Mine. At Whittier the Sister under way on ten weeks for water is being made at 41 is also testing out is drilling at 2,627. No. 54 at 2,396, and No. 5 is water testing at it is drilling, making No. 58 is water testing. On Savage Leaf Oil Company has cooled 3,642 feet. The wellthe beam and is made day. The completion shows up the future closely. The Petroleum Mine one of the leading payment of the Monte comparative newcomer drilled some 25 wells duction of 3,000 bars doing more real work than all of the panies operating at it.

The General Pruce No. 1 goes For six years hard luck of the hardest variety has dogged the footsteps of the Fullerton Oil Company, causing progress to be so slow on two wells drilling in the Brea field that the average operator would have given up in disgust. However a turn of better luck has come. At No. 11 new hole is being made after two years' of delay, and the tolls are drilling in shale at 3,300 feet. At this depth the well is showing oil and a strong pressure of gas. At No. 10 drilling and sidetracking has advanced to 3,356 feet, and for the first time in six years the chances for finishing this well are looking very good. The Amalgamated Oil Company will test out its Durfee lease well early in the week, and if an o. k. is secured on the water, drilling will be resumed. The well has been standing cemented for the past couple of weeks at 2,763 feet. At Brea the Amalgamated started drilling on A. U. No. 42 and has made 35 feet of hole ahead of the cementing at 2,938. A water test registered a successful shut off. Why don't the Amalgamated Oil Company do something with Huntington well? After pumping the Huntington well for three months steady the Amalgamated Oil Company continues to test out a well that has been nothing but water since it was put on the beam. The well was drilled to a depth of 3,662 feet, put on the beam and started off making 400 barrels of water daily. The output of water has been Union Oil Company is developing its La Merced property as rapidly as possible. As fast as a well is completed a new one is started. This week witnesses the starting work on No. 11, a new well. No. 7 is drilling at 1,300 feet. Redrilling at No. 8 has advanced to 1,924 and a new hole will be in the making soon. No. 9 is standing cemented at a depth of 2,585 feet. At 2,500 feet No. 10 is rotating in a brown shale and shell that renders progress a little slow. The Union Oil Company seems to be concentrating a great deal of attention on the old Naranjal property north of Brea: This company has six wells in the process of drilling and is doing a great work in securing some new production on this old property. No. 7 is redrilling at 2,895. No. 8 is looking good as it drills in the brown sandy shale at a depth of 3,560. No. 9 is making a hole in the blue shale at 2,300 feet. No. 10 is drilling in the conglomerate at 1,200 feet and is making good progress. The week's biggest well goes to the Standard Oil Company and does more credit and honor to the already famous Baldwin Hills tract of the Montebello field. Baldwin No. 17 drilled to 3,365 feet, came in Saturday with an initial production of approximately 1,500 barrels. The well soon quieted down and is now making 1,250 barrels a day. The advent of No. 17 brings the production of the Baldwin Hills lease up to 15,000 a day. This is a notable achievement in that a year and a half ago the Baldwin property was unknown to the oil world and had not produced a drop of oil. Other wells that are drilling and nearing completion are No. 7 which has been cemented at 3,051. No. 9 is drilling at 2,258. No. 12 making hole at 2,300; 16 at 2,785; 18 at 2,960. No. 20 is undergoing a water test at 2,360. No. 22 is drilling at 1,276. No. 23 at 1,970 feet, and No. 24 is rigging up for the rotary. Work has commenced on the property's 25th well, at which location a rig is now building. On the Temple property adjoining the Standard, three wells are drilling. Temple No. 6 is now about to be completed at 3,100 feet. The well has been showing up very strong and a good well is expected. No. 7 is making a hole at 2,572, and No. 8 at 2,452. The center of the oil activity of the Southern field is now at the Standard Oil Company's Murphy property. Operations are under way on 15 wells. Ten wells are drilling and have holes ranging in depth from 1,000 feet to 4,000 feet. Two wells are standing cemented, and one well, No. 44, is testing out water conditions at 3,100 feet. A fast-time record was made at No. 53. Early last week the new derrick was completed, rigging up work was pushed forward, and today the well shows over 900 feet of a hole drilled. Rigging up work and preparations for the starting of drilling are rapidly nearing completion on the 54th well to be drilled on the Murphy property. At Whittier the Standard has work under way on ten wells. No. 36, a test for water is being made at 3,228. No. 41 is also testing out at 3,276. No. 51 is drilling at 2,627. No. 52 at 2,726. No. 54 at 2,396, and 55 at 3,231. No. 56 is water testing at 1,900 feet. No. 57 is drilling, making hole at 2,055 feet. No. 58 is water testing at 2,722. On the Savage lease the Standard was unknown to the oil world and had not produced a drop of oil. Other wells that are drilling and nearing completion are No. 7 which has been cemented at 3,051. No. 9 is drilling at 2,258. No. 12 making hole at 2,300; 16 at 2,785; 18 at 2,960. No. 20 is undergoing a water test at 2,360. No. 22 is drilling at 1,276. No. 23 at 1,970 feet, and No. 24 is rigging up for the rotary. Work has commenced on the property's 25th well, at which location a rig is now building. On the Temple property adjoining the Standard, three wells are drilling. Temple No. 6 is now about to be completed at 3,100 feet. The well has been showing up very strong and a good well is expected.

On the Savage lease the Standard Oil Company has completed No. 12 at 3,642 feet. The well has been put on the beam and is making five barrels a day. The completion of this well shows up the future of this lease pretty closely. The Petroleum Midway is playing one of the leading parts in the development of the Montebello field. This comparative newcomer in the field has drilled some 25 wells, developed a production of 3,000 barrels a day, and is doing more real wild-cat development work than all of the other 30 oil companies operating at Montebello. The Petroleum Midway, Howard and Smith well is standing temporarily shut down. The well on the Germain property after drilling to 2,539 feet, has been plugged and abandoned. Walters No. 1 is drilling at 2,610. Prugh No. 1 is drilling at 1,413. No. 3 Prugh stands cemented at 1,550. Pluma Briano No. 1 is testing for water at 2,616 and No. 2 is standing cemented at 2,474. Darlington No. 1, correlated a week ago, is holding up .300-barrel a day output. New locations recently made by the Petroleum Midway includes Prugh No. 4, and Oswald-Stevens No. 1, which is now drilling at 2,230 feet. What is understood to be the cleanest oil wells in the state of California today are owned by the Red Star Petroleum Company in the Montebello field. No. 1 put on the pump last April is making over a 1,000 barrels a day and the oil produced cuts three hundredths of one per cent. No. 3, a 400-barrel well after being on the beam a month is making oil that cuts five on-hundredths of one per cent. Neither of these wells show a trace of water or sand and are probably the cleanest oil wells to be found any where in the entire state. The Red Star Company have three wells under way on development and have just located three new ones. The new wells are Red Star No. 7, Red Star-Sanchez, and Red Star-Berry. The General Petroleum Company's Cruze No. 1 goes on the pump-before the land given to California is valued at from $5 to $150 or more an acre. Some of it has been occupied by bona fide homesteaders for as much as 40 years, who will now be able to secure clear titles. None of the land was taxed prior to its deeding over to the state. LIBERTY BONDS WILL SELL AT PREMIUM A study of statistics should convince anyone that, when this war is over, all Liberty Bonds will go to a premium, says the Financial and Investment Chronicle of Milwaukee. This is the history of every bond put out by our government in recent years. Our 5's, issued in 1860, due in 1865, reached a price of 127 in 1863. Our 4½' s, issued in 1876, due 1891, were readily sold on the market in 1881 and 1882 at 116½, and at no time touched a point as low as par. Our 4' s, issued in 1877, due in 1907, reached 129-5-8 in 1887. Our present 4' s, issued in 1895, due in 1925, have commanded a price as high as 139-7-8, never selling, at any time, lower than 100. Is there any reason why, a few years from now, the Liberty 4' s should not follow the path of their predecessors and sell at a handsome premium? There is only one reason why this may never happen. Should the Teuton win this war and remain a serious menace to the integrity of the United States, then the Liberty Bonds may be at a discount instead of at a premium. Some of the obvious advantages to be derived by the purchaser of Liberty Bonds, whether in small or large amounts, are: First, they are acceptable at any banking institution as collateral on a basis better than that accorded to bonds of other classes. Second, they are, and will continue to be, as liquid, almost, as currency. They are already accepted as cash in many stores for the purchase of ordinary commodities, and can be disposed of at any time, on short notice, for cash at the market, and, in all probability, the market will be above par, increasing as years go by. Third, the world offers no security that is safer than the obligations of the United States. Fourth, they may be purchased in small denominations. Fifth, they appeal to the patriotism of every true American; to millions of men and to men of millions. Organization of the farmers of the county into an association for handling the labor situation, and particularly to eliminate "poaching," will result from the meeting held at the city council chambers, Santa Ana, Thursday night, with D. P. Dargitz, field representative of the state council of defense, and operating under the employment bureau branch of the state.Following an address by Dargitz, John A. McFadden, president of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce, was elected temporary chairman, and Horace Fine temporary secretary, for the organization of the association.The organization will be known as the Orange County Farm Labor Association,and McFadden was empowered to appoint a committee to formulate plans for organization and to interest farmers in all sections of the county.A wage scale, operative all over the countywill be made.The county farm advisor and a member of the county council of defense are to be members of the committee.The association will embrace men engaged in all forms of farming operations and may be made available to business men, if in the opinion of the committee it is thought advisable to include business interests.The committee will be called together at some central point as soon as McFadden names the members. INCREASED CHARGES Under government regulation connection for phone service will be more costly than it has been in the past and service charges will be retained by the government instead of being returned to the subscriber at the expiration of a year. The Sunset company has heretofore charged $3.50 for service,the amount being returned at the expiration of a beam a month is making oil that cuts five on-hundredths of one per cent. Neither of these wells show a trace of water or sand and are probably the cleanest oil wells to be found anywhere in the entire state. The Red Star Company have three wells under way on development and have just located three new ones. The new wells are Red Star No. 7, Red Star-Sanchez, and Red Star-Berry. The General Petroleum Company's Cruze No. 1 goes on the pump before the end of the week. The well is 2,245 feet deep, and has been showing some very promising looking shale and oil sand in the last hundred feet of drilling. Alvitre No. 1 is drilling in hard sand at 2,390. No. 2 is in the brown shale at 1,785. Gravey No. 1 is drilling and shows 1,500 feet of hole. Ralph No. 1 is standing cemented at 2,800 feet, and Stone No. 1 is drilling at 2,825. BABY HAD AWFUL KICK British cunning matched against German stupidity has helped the Q-boats—England's submarine chasers—to beat the U-boats. One of the most amazing tales of its employment is that of the "baby" which blew up a submarine. When the U-boat challenged a Q-boat disguised as a tramp steamer, the boats were lowered and pulled off, leaving on board only a woman, who with a baby in her arms, ran shrrieking up and down the deck. The sailors told the submarine commander their captain's wife had gone mad when he was killed and would not leave the ship. The U-boat drew alongside the stricken vessel. As she approached the mad woman rushing to the side of the ship hurled her baby into the open hatch of the fuel saving. A saving of at least 1,000,000 tons of coal annually, or fuel oil equivalent, is expected to result in the United States from the elimination of inefficient types of incandescent electric lamps, which has been decided upon, according to a dispatch received by Albert E. Schwabacher, federal fuel administrator for California. The lamp manufacturers, at a meeting held at Washington, voluntarily agreed to abandon the manufacture of certain types of the inefficient carbon filament lamp as a further conservation measure. Central stations, public service corporations, municipal plants and others using carbon filament lamps are asked to assist the manufacturers and the fuel administration by purchasing only the more efficient tungsten lamp in the future. An additional saving of 1,500,000 tons of coal, or fuel oil equivalent, a year is estimated from the introduction of the skip-stop system on street car lines throughout the country. This system will be in operation in every city of any importance in the United States not later than the end of the present month, Schwabacher's advices state. OLD CLOTHES FOR BELGIUM If you have any extra overcoat or bers. INCREASED CHARGES Under government regulation connection for phone service will be more costly than it has been in the past and service charges will be retained by the government instead of being returned to the subscriber at the expiration of a year. The Sunset company has heretofore charged $3.50 for service, the amount being returned at the expiration of a year. Under the regulations just issued the charge for installation will be $5 if the monthly rate is $2 or under, $10 if the rate is $4 or under, and $15 for any phone where the rate is over $4 per month. Heretofore the cost of material and labor has been the only charge for moving a phone from one location to another on the same premises. It is proposed to establish a definite charge for this, but the schedule of charges has not been received locally and until it is received charges will be made at the cost of material and labor. The service charges were made effective on September 1, and therefore prevail now. Conservation of labor and material has been the ruling factor in the establishment of the new schedule under government ownership. It is the theory of the management that where the individual has to pay the installation charges, with no prospect of having it returned later, he will defer application for connection just as long as he can.

EXCHANGE YOUR BONDS "The treasury department again reminds holders of 4 per cent Liberty Loan Bonds that these securities are convertible into 4¼ per cent bonds of the Third Liberty Loan, and extends a warning that this privilege lapses on November 9, and cannot be renewed. A statement issued over the signature of Secretary McAdoo says: "Holders of these 4 per cent bonds lose nothing by exercising the privilege of conversion and gain ¼ per cent interest per annum. Holders of 4 per cent bonds should not wait until the last moment to exercise the privilege of conversion, but proceed to do so promptly. Delay will result in overburdening the banking institutions of the country and the treasury department by making it necessary to handle all conversions at one time."
