OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER September closes chronicling some of the most remarkable achievements in the history of the oil industry of the Southern California field. The month witnessed the opening of a new oil field east of Brea with the coming in of the Standard Oil Company's Kraemer well. Success on this well means that three of the largest companies in the state will commence extended development work at once. Kraemer No. 1 being a 350-barrel well means that the proven area of the Brea field has been pushed out east five miles and room has been made for a hundred more producing wells. The Kraemer well may be just on the edge of a vast pool and the next few months may see two and three thousand barrel wells brought in. September records will contain facts pertaining to the opening up of a water front field at Newport. The wonderful results obtained by the Liberty Petroleum establishes the certainty of oil at Balboa. This well drilled to 2,095 feet threw oil over the crown block when cleaned out and swabbed. The rods and tubing are now going in and nothing less than a 200-barrel well is expected. On the famous Temple property at Montebello, a 2,000-barrel well was brought in, making the sixth big well this property has produced since the opening of the year. The depth of the well is a little over 3,000 feet; the time of drilling was short and the expense not above normal. Wells brought in during the month increased the production over 5,000 ed. The completion of Nos. 28 and 30 will boost the Columbia's already nice production considerably. With the intention of saving man power, boilers and fuel, and to produce more oil the Brea Canyon Oil Company has commenced the installation of 13 gas engines to pump its wells in the Brea field. This method of pumping wells will cut down the cost of production in that from three to five wells will be handled by one man instead of a man at each well when pumped by steam. The change to the gas engine will save the boilers now so much in need for the drilling of new wells, and also be tremendous saving in fuel and water. Actual experience has proven that wells pumped by gas will produce more oil than when steam engine pumped. This is explained in the regular motion maintained by the gas engine. Quite often a pumper will allow the boiler to fill up with cold water while he is taking a snooze. The steam goes down and the engine stops, the results being that well or some times a string of wells are off on production from one to two hours. The Fullerton Oil Company, after four years of varied luck on two wells in the Brea field, is now going ahead and making some real progress. Side-tracking and drilling by casing at No. 10 has reached a depth of 3,357 feet. The original depth of the hole was 3,700 feet. No. 11 is now drilling at 3,306 feet. At this depth hard shell has been struck. The well is showing some oil and considerable gas and is looking rather good. The Fullerton Oil Company commenced operations on its Whittler field property early in the week and has its No. 4 well drilling on cable tools at 300 feet. The Fullerton Company has some very choice property in oil is to be found shortly. The condition of the hoist the drilling is going slow Good time has been made the well was started twice. The Olinda Land Company drilling at 2,800 feet, is siderable oil. The former The showing of oil was hard shell stratum was on No. 19, the wild-cat of the field, is drilling. The formation is shale well that was located by is believed by many to best located wells in field if geology stands firm. The McGinley Oil started its No. 5 well. In a hard sand at 3,222 showing considerable making hole at 2,150 foot new well, is building ready for drilling in a. The Baldwin Hills field standard Oil Company is one oil fields in the state. Drilling, one well standard production tests are two other wells. Speak ment speed the 26th wicked and the grade of 21 months' time the tract was made into our est oil fields in the state. The first well came in barrels, the production is now 15,000 daily. September's biggest No. 6, 2,000 barrels is day of this new Monterey. Drilled to depth well was complete and few days ago and then holding up strong. There are drilling on the lease, No. 7 at 2,857, and Both wells are looking probably he mates to The rods and tubing are now going in and nothing less than a 200-barrel well is expected. On the famous Temple property at Montebello, a 2,000-barrel well was brought in, making the sixth big well this property has produced since the opening of the year. The depth of the well is a little over 3,000 feet; the time of drilling was short and the expense not above normal. Wells brought in during the month increased the production over 5,000 barrels. This production is largely high gravity and clean oil. September drilling records are the largest in the history of the field. There are more wild-cat wells going than ever before. These wells are scattered in widely different parts of the field so that their completion will mean something toward proving up new property. September is also witnessing a grave shortage of oil in spite of the development successes and new wells that have been brought in. Fuel oil and gasoline conditions are beginning to merit serious attention. The autoless Sunday seems to be almost at hand. In fact it should be established now. Supplies are running low and we should commence to conserve before the actual necessity is facing us. The war compels us to manage our business enterprises not according to our own wishes, but to the interests of the nation. The Amalgamated Oil Company at Brea has its No. 42 on the Anaheim Union Water Company's lease near completion. The well is drilling at 3,100 feet, and is about to land a string of 6% casing. Enough oil sand has been penetrated to make the well look as good as any of the former wells brought in on this property. It is understood that the Amalgamated has leased a large acreage in the vicinity of the Kraemer well and that this will probably be the next field of development for this company. Durfee No. 1 of the Amalgamated is showing a little water after being cemented at 2,763 feet. An additional amount of cement has been put in the hole, and the well will be delayed a few days until the second cementing has been tested out. In a great many cases in the Montebello field the first cementing does not get all the water and the job has to be repeated. Many of the wells on the Baldwin Hills have been cemented two and three times. The Montebello field presents some special problems in the shutting off of water. The Tri-State Oil Company is testing out its over a mile deep well at La Habra, endeavoring to get a small pro- 10 has reached a depth of 3,357 feet. The original depth of the hole was 3,.700 feet. No. 11 is now drilling at 3,306 feet. At this depth hard shell has been struck. The well is showing some oil and considerable gas and is looking rather good. The Fullerton Oil Company commenced operations on its Whittier field property early in the week and has its No. 4 well drilling on cable tools at 300 feet. The Fullerton Company has some very choice property in the Whittier field and should meet with some great successes. The Liberty Petroleum Company's test well at Newport was swabbed today. The well threw oil and water over the top of the crown block and gave every evidence of being an oil well. The flow of oil soon subsided, and now the rods are being put in and the well will have settled down to a steady pumping production before the end of the week. The well has been estimated at from two to three hundred barrels. Officials of the Liberty Oil Company have suggested that the government dredge and deepen the bay so the big oil steamers can come in and load direct from the well. Stock holders of the Liberty are largely working men of Brea and Anaheim and the success that stares them in the face is due them. The long and eagerly looked-for well has arrived. Kraemer No. 1 is producing at the rate of 350 barrels a day. The oil is 18.3 gravity and the cut has got down as low as 11 per cent. Standard Oil officials are pleased with the results of this wild-cat project. The advent of Kraemer No. 1 while not being a world-beater or a gusher, has proven that the oil is there and that the drilling of more wells may lead to the finding of giant producers. It may be that the Kraemer well is just on the edge. Kraemer No. 1 extends the Brea field about five miles eastward and three miles to the south of the proven area. The completion depth is 2,762 feet. The well was drilled in less than three months, used only two strings of casing and does great credit to the wild-cat game. The knowing ones will have the pleasure of telling their friends that the oil was there, but to Standard Oil Company belongs the credit of going out miles away from the proven field and sinking a well in territory that had been practically rejected by all other operators. "To the victor belongs the spoils." The Tri-State Oil Company is testing out its over a mile deep well at La Habra, endeavoring to get a small pro- 10 has reached a depth of 3,357 feet.

An additional amount of cement has been put in the hole, and the well will be delayed a few days until the second cementing has been tested out. In a great many cases in the Montebello field the first cementing does not get all the water and the job has to be repeated. Many of the wells on the Baldwin Hills have been cemented two and three times. The Montebello field presents some special problems in the shutting off of water. The Brea Canyon Oil Company, pleased with the fine results obtained on its No. 29 well, has commenced work on 31, a new well. Rigging up on the new well is well in hand and drilling will start in a few days. The company's No. 29 continues to be the wonder of the Brea Canyon field. With a pressure of 670 pounds on the casing head the well is flowing regular at the rate of 670 barrels a day. It is thought that the well will do better than this when all the water gets out and the oil allowed to flow naturally. However the Brea Canyon have no kick on the big well. The Columbia Oil Producing Company is making some rapid progress on its Brea field property. No. 7 on the Orange is drilling at 2,500 feet. While this well has been drilling a little slow yet good time has been made considering the difficult formations. No. 8 is now past 4,200 feet and is about to be brought in. The well has been looking exceptionally good and should be one of the big wells of the field for the year. The Columbia Oil Producing Company are busy working on three wells in Olinda. No. 28 has reached 3,050 feet and has all the indication of being an oil well. No. 30 is drilling at 2,600 feet and is going along nicely. No. 31 is the new well next to commence drilling. A rig has been built and the rigging up work pretty near complete- of casing and does great credit to the wild-cat game. The knowing ones will have the pleasure of telling their friends that the oil was there, but to the Standard Oil Company belongs the credit of going out miles away from the proven field and sinking a well in territory that had been practically rejected by all other operators. "To the victor belongs the spoils." The Tri-State Oil Company is testing out its over a mile deep well at La Habra, endeavoring to get a small production that would eventually pay for the well. Drilled to a depth of 5,595 feet the well has been abandoned up to 3,700 feet. On the way down quite an appreciable showing of oil was noted at this depth. A thorough test will be made at this mark. The West Coast Oil Company is doing its share to develop the Olinda field. This company has three wells drilling and all are making excellent headway. At No. 62 a depth of 1,515 feet has been reached. At No. 69 pipe trouble at 1,247 feet has caused a little delay. No. 79 is now at 824 feet. At this depth a string of 12½ inch casing was landed. It is the intention of the West Coast to keep three strings of casing at work all the time. As fast as one well is completed and put on the beam another is started. The Olinda field, one of the oldest in the state, still continues to produce good wells. Many wells in this field have been on the beam from 15 to 20 years. Many of these wells have not dropped off very much in production since being brought in. Redrilling of old wells in the Olinda field has met and continues to meet with great success. At a depth of 3,083 feet the Standard Oil Company's Newport well on the Irvine tract is drilling in a hard sand showing no oil or gas. It would seem that this well is getting to a depth where it should begin to show up if oil is to be found short of 4,000 feet. The condition of the hole is good and the drilling is going straight ahead. Good time has been made ever since the well was started two months ago. The Olinda Land Company's No. 219, drilling at 2,800 feet, is showing considerable oil. The formation is shale. The showing of oil was noted after a hard shell stratum was drilled through. No. 19, the wild-cat of the eastern part of the field, is drilling at 1,550 feet. The formation is shale. This is the well that was located by Dr. Stark and is believed by many to be one of the best located wells in the southern field if geology stands for anything. The McGinley Oil Company has started its No. 5 well. No. 3 is drilling in a hard sand at 3,200 feet and is showing considerable oil. No. 4 is making hole at 2,150 feet. No. 5, the new well, is building rig and will be ready for drilling in a few days. The Baldwin Hills field of the Standard Oil Company is one of the busiest oil fields in the state. Six wells are drilling, one well stands cemented, and production tests are being made on two other wells. Speaking of development speed the 26th well has been located and the grade commenced. In 21 months' time the Baldwin Hills tract was made into one of the greatest oil fields in the state of California. The first well came in producing 450 barrels, the production of the property is now 15,000 daily. September's biggest well is Temple No. 6, 2,000 barrels is the capacity per day of this new Montebello field wonder. Drilled to depth of 3,100 feet the well was complete and brought in a few days ago and the production is holding up strong. Two other wells are drilling on the famous Temple lease, No. 7 at 2,857, and No. 8 at 2,727. Both wells are looking good and will probably be mates to No. 6. The Tem The plan has worked out so well that in the three camps where definite lists of objectors were compiled, practically all of these men have been placed. Camp Meade had 88, all of them now at labor on farms; 100 of the 102 men at Camp Lee have been placed, and the majority of those at Camp Taylor. Final arrangements have been made for labor furloughs for objectors in Camps Gordon, Ga.; Jackson, S. C.; Dix, N. J.; Upton, N. Y.; Sherman, Ohio; Devens, Mass.; Custer, Mich.; Grant, Ill.; Dodge, Iowa; Lewis, Wash.; and Fort Riley, Kans. The labor specialists of the department of agriculture in the states where the cantonments are situated have been instructed to communicate with specialists in other states in case they cannot place all the conscientious objects at work at once. The furloughed men are under strict regulations drawn up by the war department. They are placed on farms at a standard wage and reports of their conduct and effectiveness are made to the cantonment commander at monthly intervals. If their services are not satisfactory the commandant is at once informed of the fact. The war department has expressed itself as thoroughly pleased with the arrangements by which the department of agriculture, through its farm help specialists, has aided in placing these men where their services will be an aid to victory through food production. WAR SPIRIT DOMINANT AT LIBERTY FAIR Patriotism Displayed in All the Attractions Shown That the war spirit may be brought to the half million or more people who visit the California Liberty Fair, a pyrotechnic display in which $10,000 worth of fireworks will be used, is to will be the predominating feature of the fair; that from 1,500 to 2,500 head of live stock will be on exhibition, and every one will be a good one. The $33,500 in premiums will attract exhibitors, buyers and spectators from far and wide. He plans to open the show with a grand march of live stock, like of which has never before been seen in the west. MEXICO "What do we care about Mexico?" A whole lot. Suppose they do call it the land of the greaser and cactus—it is a decidedly important factor in our own prosperity just the same. Here is a country with about 16-000,000 people, and about eighteen to the square mile, all of whom must be supported by their own industry—and they are buying $100,000,000 worth of commodities from outside their own country every year. And more than this, our own country certainly wants to supply that Mexican market with what it needs because our prosperity is increased just in proportion to the amount of foreign selling we can have. Our own country is fast reaching the point of Europe, the countries of which see the necessity of a foreign market sufficient to feed their peoples. For some reason or other our own foreign markets seem to be slipping away from us and we are being forced to depend too largely upon our internal trading. Based upon the per capita of buying we have made practically no gain in our sales (prior to the unusual present), while we show an increase of some 60 per cent in our buying of foreign products. Six years ago we were selling Mexico 75 per cent of what she bought; in September's biggest well is Temple No. 6, 2,000 barrels is the capacity per day of this new Montebello field wonder. Drilled to depth of 3,100 feet the well was complete and brought in a few days ago and the production is holding up strong. Two other wells are drilling on the famous Temple lease, No. 7 at 2,857, and No. 8 at 2,727. Both wells are looking good and will probably be mates to No. 6. The Temple lease has proven one of the most valuable of the smaller oil properties in the Montebello field. Six wells are now producing on the property and the daily output runs high. Development work on the Standard Oil Company's Murphy lease is going at top speed. On this cream of the oil property of the Southland 12 strings of tools are drilling. The 54th well on the property is now rigging up for drilling. No. 31 is testing at 4,007. No. 35 is drilling at 3,430. No. 40 is making hole at close to 4,200 feet and will soon be completed. No. 34 is drilling at 3,555. No. 45 is drilling at 3,757. No. 46 at 3,230. No. 47 is down 3,392. No. 48 is drilling at 3,336. No. 49 stands cemented at 3,317. Nos. 50, 51 and 52 are making hole at depth ranging from 2,300 to 3,100 feet. No. 53 advanced in seven days from 905 feet to 1,805 feet. Fast time is being made on all the wells of the Murphy lease. At Whittier the Standard Oil Company is a busy oil developer. Eight strings of tools are running. Three cells are testing out for water. No. 52 is about to be completed, the depth being 2,735. This well has been looking good and should prove one of the big wells of the Whittier field. The Union Oil is holding down second place for development work in the Southern California field. This company is operating 22 strings of tools and has work going on on nine leases: All properties are showing great progress. For hard luck the Bastanchury property is holding the record. No. 5, the deepest well now drilling in the field, has a fishing job on at 4,738 feet. A string of tools were lost in the hole two weeks ago and the continued fishing since that time has netted nothing. Bastanchury No. 6 is drilling in blue shalg at 4,165 feet. No encouraging showings have been noted as yet. If a well is gotten at No. 6 it will be deep. At a depth of 2,855 feet preparations are being made to set a string of 8½ inch pine and cement Chapman No. 1. WAR SPIRIT DOMINANT AT LIBERTY FAIR Patriotism Displayed in All the Attractions Shown That the war spirit may be brought to the half million or more people who visit the California Liberty Fair, a pyrotechnic display in which $10,000 worth of fireworks will be used, is to be one of the chief features of the California Liberty Fair to be held at Exposition Park, Los Angeles, from October 12 to 26. Everything that will be done will be done under the supervision of the United States government, and no powder will be wasted that might be used on the western front. The bureau of mines of the United States government has suggested that all fireworks displayed this year should be of a patriotic nature, and with this idea in view, the fireworks to be given during the California Liberty Fair will be an inspiration in patriotism. W.E. Priestly, superintendent of fireworks and explosives at the Panama-Pacific international exposition, will be in charge of the display. The big feature each evening will be a setpiece representing the bombardment of Zeebrugge Mole, which will be 300 feet in length and will portray to the minds of the visitors the attack of the British naval vessels on the German fortifications on the Belgium coast. No time or expense will be spared to make the fireworks display one of the big features of the California Liberty Fair. Fast horses from all over this state, and trotters, pacers and runners from the Atlantic seaboard, are being arranged at Exposition Park for horse races during the opening week of the fair. Many of our well known drivers with their stables will be on hand to compete for the $12,300 worth of prizes that have been hung up for these harness horse events. The racing feature of this California Liberty Fair is to be one of the big attractions. Dr. A.J.Scott, chairman of the horse show committee, is satisfied that his part of this exhibit is to be the chief feature. He will show, with the aid of Mrs.Anita Baldwin,the famous old stallion,El Rey Santa Anita, winner of the first American Derby. This horse is 26 years old. It,of course, will not be entered in any of the speed events, but will be shown to the thousands who are interested in this great show. For some reason or other our own foreign markets seem to be slipping away from us and we are being forced to depend too largely upon our internal trading.Based upon the per capita of buying we have made practically no gain in our sales (prior to the unusual present), while we show an increase of some 60 per cent in our buying of foreign products. Six years ago we were selling Mexico 75 per cent of what she bought; in two years it fell down to about 50 per cent; our sales to China dropped from 11 per cent to 6 per cent; to Chile from 9 per cent to 8 per cent; to Denmark from 13 per cent to 9 per cent; to Japan from 15 per cent to 11 per cent; and to the United Kingdom from 21 per cent to 16 per cent. Now if all foreign countries keep rapidly changing their buying from United States made goods to that of some other country's products, where shall we look for a market sufficient to keep our people profitably employed? Certainly Mexico, right at home, should continue to be a most logical market for our profit.And just in proportion to the amount of our sales of products to Mexico so will be the prosperity of our people—the farmers, miners, etc.,who produce the raw materials as well as all the millions who depend upon the manufacturing industry for a livelihood—wage earners as well as proprietors. We were importing from Mexico nearly $5,000,000 worth of meat animals,and the same amount of coffee;$16,000,000 worth of copper ore and products; nearly $12,000,000 of fibers for textile manufacture,and half that amount in hides;$2,000,000 in rubber;$4,000,000 in lead;$2,250,000 in chemicals,drugs and dyes,and the same amount in oils,with half as much in vegetables.in normal times. On the other hand,我们 are losing in our sales of our own products to her.In meat animals we lost about 50 per cent; gained 200 fold in the sale of raw cotton; lost 80 percent in hay; gained 20 percent in leather,and lost 60 percent in sugar and its products.Our loss in mine products dropped to about one-fourth in four years,clienly in coal and coke.Copper products gained and so did agricultural implements,but railway rolling stock dropped about 90 per cent. Now the question arises as to why our sales in all general lines should not increase with the growth of that country's population,rather than de- At a depth of 2,855 feet preparations are being made to set a string of 8¼ inch pipe and cement Chapman No. 1. At this point the well has been showing up very nicely and gives promise of equaling the Standard's Kraemer. The Graham-Loftus property now has the smallest number of wells drilling it has had in six years. Two wells are drilling and two others are cementing. Wells brought in on this once home of the gushers are now comparatively small. The past year a number of wells were completed that did not go much over a hundred barrels. At the shallow depth of 1,468 feet No. 54 has encountered some shell. Nos. 42 and 49 are cemented, and No. 53 is drilling at 2,100 feet. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS After struggling for a long time with the knotty problem of conscientious objectors in army cantonments, the war department now announces that the difficulty has, to a large degree, been solved through the aid of the farm help specialists of the United States department of agriculture. In the various states where there are farming communities which include sects opposed to war, such as the Dunkards and Mennonites, and where additional farm help is needed, these places are made known to the cantonment commanders, together with a record of their farm-labor needs. Dr. A. J. Scott, chairman of the horse show committee, is satisfied that his part of this exhibit is to be the chief feature. He will show, with the aid of Mrs. Anita Baldwin, the famous old stallion, El Rey Santa Anita, winner of the first American Derby. This horse is 26 years old. It, of course, will not be entered in any of the speed events, but will be shown to the thousands who are interested in this great show. New foods are to be introduced in the food exhibit. The consumption of whale meat already equals the supply on the Pacific coast, but the United States government experts realize that the general public in California and a number of the western states, have not been educated in a way to make people realize that the flesh of the whale, and also of the shark, is not only palatable, but is worthy of a place on any of our tables. R. W. Pridham, director-general of the fair, has been in San Francisco this week. He has been in conference with well known men in the bay city, and he reports that a large delegation from the cities around San Francisco bay will visit the California Liberty Fair and will enjoy the exhibit to be made by San Francisco and other counties in the northern part of the state. S. N. Clark, who is in charge of the floricultural exhibit, says he will have 25,000 dahlias, some of them as sunflowers, to exhibit in the floral display. He declares that his is to be the most important part of the show, and to back up this statement he shows the number of entries and the number of prominent floriculturists who will exhibit at this fair. C. R. Thomas, manager of the live stock show, says that his department is in hay; gained 20 per cent in leather, and lost 60 per cent in sugar and its products. Our loss in mine products dropped to about one-fourth in four years, chiefly in coal and coke. Copper products gained and so did agricultural implements, but railway rolling stock dropped about 90 per cent. Now the question arises as to why our sales in all general lines should not increase with the growth of that country's population, rather than decrease. Certainly that country is buying from some one, and why should we not sell her? If she buys $100,000,000 worth of products yearly in some outside market it means that something like $30,000,000 of that goes directly in reward for labor, and our own people ought to be interested in having a market like that for the rewards of their labor. Why not sell our manufactures of cotton to Mexico rather than the raw cotton, since we reward our own laborers all that much more? There is no reason why we should produce the raw cotton and send it to Europe, then, after their people have added the reward of labor to the selling price, re-sell those cotton goods to Mexico. And the same argument holds to many other lines of our products. We are deeply interested in Mexico—as deeply as the countries of Europe in the world's markets, yet we prefer to hold that market by peaceful means if possible. And any aid we can render that country in settling its troubles so as to restore a stable and an able market is justifiable in our own best interests. What has become of those seventy-five-mile guns the Huns were firing into Paris? Probably retired to "previously-prepared positions."

In a speech in this country the governor-general of Canada declared that in the last three years he had not seen or heard a pacifist." When Canada got into this thing no half-way measure or compromise was suggested or would be considered. No one hesitated or doubted. There are no pacifists in the British dominions and the breed has gradually gone dumb on American soil. The khaki men at Camps Lewis and Kearny are going to Siberia.
