Thanksgiving Month Greatest One of the Year In Oil Industry Montebello Field Has Become Greatest In Southern California—200 Barrell Well Pleasant Surprise to Fullerton Oil Company—Union Establishes Gas Conservation Dept.—Oil Notes The first week of November is setting a pace for development work in the Southern California oil fields that if maintained throughout the month will make the Thanksgiving month the greatest one of the year in the oil industry. The new oil companies have entered the field. Both companies have chosen the Whittier fields for the purpose of risking their stakes in the somewhat elusive and uncertain game of searching for oil. D. F. Leheigh, a Los Angeles attorney, has taken over the property at Whittier formerly owned by the Old New England Oil Company. Mr. Leheigh shipped a rig and drilling tools purchased from the Ramona Oil Company at San Diego, and is getting ready to commence drilling. For the past year Mr. Leheigh has had the New England property under consideration. The success that has attended operations in the Whittier field the past few months doubtless was the in-make will be of great value in the increasing of production and the producing of a better grade of oil. The gas produced from the several wells will be thoroughly tested for its gasoline content. Low grade gases will be used for fuel purposes only and the richer gases run through the compressors. Never before has there been any scientific study of the condition under which oil wells produce and it is believed that the new department instituted by the Union will be of inestimable value to the oil industry. Hard luck in the shape of a destructive fire that raised the 110 foot rotary derrick to the ground, burning the engine house and wrecking the drilling equipment adds interest to the history of the Union Oil Company's wild-cat well on the Chapman property east of Fullerton. The well had stood cemented for a couple of weeks, and the drilling crew were about to resume drilling. An oil stove used by a company's property in the Amalgamated has drilled 425 feet and aside framed oil noted at 3,200, ing no encouragement sand at a much shall found in adjoining we attracting special interest dip the oil sand seem point.

However been expelled and it that there is any char being located in the district. After passing through surface formation the Oil Company is battling sand and is meeting difficulty in getting it Progress could be making in large quantities drill left the 50-foot drilled near No. 31 feet of the same change in the drilling well is expected until searching for oil. D. F. Leighgh, a Los Angeles attorney, has taken over the property at Whittier formerly owned by the Old New England Oil Company. Mr. Leighgh shipped a rig and drilling tools purchased from the Ramona Oil Company at San Diego, and is getting ready to commence drilling. For the past year Mr. Leighgh has had the New England property under consideration. The success that has attended operations in the Whittier field the past few months doubtless was the incentive that started the new concern. A new rig is standing completed ready for drilling to start on Rideout Heights at Whittier. The rig is owned by the Diamond Oil Company, of which R. E. Wells, formerly general manager of the Salt Lake, and W. S. Whitley, manager of the Gugenheim's Salt Lake interests, are the leading and most substantial stockholders. The new company own 400 acres and will begin work at once. More new wells were started the first week in November than any week of the year thus far. The Union Oil Company has just placed stakes locating six new wells on its La Merced lease in the Montebello field. This large number of new locations places the Union Oil Company at the head of the list for new work. That there is room for several more good wells on the Baldwin Hills is the belief of the Standard Oil Company in the locating of two new wells. At San Fernando the Standard has located and has a rig rapidly nearing completion for an initial test well on Sunshine ranch. This tract contains some 1,200 acres and the success of the first well will mean a great deal of development work. November is starting off rather strong for producing wells. The famous Murphy property started the ball rolling with a 1,400 barrel well. This well in addition to the great output of 32 gravity oil is producing six and a half million feet of gas a day. The Fullerton Oil Company's 200 barrel well in the Brea field was a pleasant surprise to the management and friends of the company. The Fullerton company immediately began work on its Kraemer field property, immediately after the completion of its well at Brea. In order to meet the needs of the nation for more and better petroleum the Union Oil Company of California has established a new department to be known as the gas conservation department. A study of producing wells has been conducted by the Union will be of inestimable value to the oil industry. Hard luck in the shape of a destructive fire that raised the 110 foot rotary derrick to the ground, burning the engine house and wrecking the drilling equipment adds interest to the history of the Union Oil Company's wild-cat well on the Chapman property east of Fullerton. The well had stood cemented for a couple of weeks, and the drilling crew were about to resume drilling. An oil stove used by a watchman in the rig in some way caused fire. The delay at this time is rather disappointing as the well was 2,800 feet deep and something was expected to show up as drilling deepened. The Union Oil Company's Bastanchury No. 5, now the deepest well drilling in the Fullerton field, is standing cemented. This well was drilled to 4,738 feet. The loss of two strings of tools and the development of bottom water in the hole necessitated back up and putting in a cement plug to shut off the water. On re-opening and cleaning out this well is expected to go on the beam at a 100 barrels. This well has been three years in drilling and if it comes in at the 100 barrel capacity it will be the best well the Union has ever gotten on the Bastanchury lease. And yet this property is only a short distance from the Standard Oil Company's Murphy property, the richest oil producing property in the state today. Bastanchury No. 6, also getting to be a deep well, has a fishing job on at a depth of 4,357 feet. Three years ago the Graham-Loftus property looked like one of the most promising pieces of oil property in the Brea field. At that time 12 strings of tools were running. Today three wells are drilling. The gushers that used to come in are now substituted by wells coming in at 50 and 100 barrels. No. 49 is drilling in the oil sand at 3,225. No. 51 is rotating and making rather slow progress in the conglomerate at 2,200. No. 52 is making hole at 1,570, the formation here being conglomerate also. At La Merced the Union is meeting with a great deal of difficulty in the way of hard drilling at No. 7. The hardest and most compact of sands struck and reported last week continue and the best that a Sharp & Hughes bit will do grinding away on the sand is only two feet at a tour. No. 8 is down 2,045 and a string of 8 inch casing is going in the hole. No. 9 is standing cemented at 2,585. At No. 10 a change in the formation at 2,483 from shell to chale has allowed the drilling to speed After passing through surface formation the Oil Company is battling sand and is meeting faculty in getting it Progress could be made in large quantities drill left the 50-foot drilled near No. 31 feet of the same floor change in the drilling well is expected until depth is reached excellent headway now has 2,300 feet shape.

In order to meet the needs of the nation for more and better petroleum the Union Oil Company of California has established a new department to be known as the gas conservation department. A study of producing wells has revealed the fact that there is a relationship between the amount and quality of oil a well will produce with the relation to the gas pressure maintained on the oil sands. The new department just instituted by the Union in the Brea field will gather data bearing on this newly discovered relationship and make a close and detailed study of all producing wells in the field. There is a point or rather a condition if properly maintained, will cause an oil well to yield the maximum of production and the maximum of gas. In many wells if the gas pressure is held down the oil flow will be lessened. In other wells if the gas pressure is not maintained the oil flow will diminish. In many wells too high a gas pressure causes what is known as cutting of the oil. Some wells are producing too much gas and not enough oil. Other wells are making plenty of production, but under different conditions would make more gas and just as much oil. Again some wells can be made to produce a great deal more gas at the expense of a barrel or two less oil a day. All these facts and figures will be assembled and the proper producing conditions for all wells on all the properties of the company will be mapped out. It is believed that this scientific study that the new department will At La Merced the Union is meeting with a great deal of difficulty in the way of hard drilling at No. 7. The hardest and most compact of sands struck and reported last week continue and the best that a Sharp & Hughes bit will do grinding away on the sand is only two feet at a tour. No. 8 is down 2,045 and a string of 8 inch casing is going in the hole. No. 9 is standing cemented at 2,585. At No. 10 a change in the formation at 2,483 from shell to shale has allowed the drilling to speed up considerably. At No. 11 a new rig stands completed ready for drilling to commence. The Union's Slaughter well is drilling in a hard sand at 2,275 and as yet has shown no signs of oil. If oil is found in commercial quantities on the Meyer lease of the Union Oil Company at Santa Fe Springs the well now drilling will be a deep one. At 4,205 feet the formation continues to show no change from the hard sand encountered 100 feet up. The hole is in fine condition, the tools and pipe are working freely and the conditions are excellent for the drilling of a deep test well. At 4,200 feet a string of 6¼ inch pipe is being carried. Three wells drilling in the same formation, yet one of these wells is 800 feet deeper than another is a matter of geological interest observed on the West Coast Oil Company's property in the Olinda field. Well No. 62 is drilling at 2,101 in the blue shale. No. 69 is drilling at 1,860 in the blue shale and No. 79, a shallow well, is making hole in the same formation at 1,390. An average of twenty feet a day for the past week is the West Coast standard tool record for the week on these three wells. On the Anaheim Union Water Com- The Year Oil Industry company's property in the Brea field the Amalgamated has drilled No. 42 to 3,425 feet and aside from the showing of oil noted at 3,200, the well is offering no encouragement. A good oil sand at a much shallower depth was found in adjoining wells and No. 42 is attracting special interest for the deep dip the oil sand seems to take at this point. On the Huntington lease near Boyle Heights the Amalgamated continues to test out a well drilled four months ago. The well started off making 420 barrels of water. This output has been reduced to less than 200 barrels, but not a color of oil or a sign of it has been made an appearance. When this well started drilling great hopes were entertained for the possibility of opening a field just outside the gates of the city. However this delusion has been expelled and it does not appear that there is any chance for an oil well being located in the Boyle Heights district. After passing through 180 feet of surface formation the Brea Canyon Oil Company is battling with the quick sand and is meeting with a lot of difficulty in getting its No. 31 started. Progress could be made only by pumping in large quantities of mud after the drill left the 50-foot mark. A well drilled near No. 31 passed through 325 feet of the same formation and no change in the drilling progress of the well is expected until about the same which controls the Petroleum Midway Company, Ltd., the Red Star Petroleum Company, the Pan-American and the California Star Oil Companies, is doing a tremendous amount of development work. During the past year and a half the Petroleum Corporation has drilled 28 wells. Seven wells are completed projects making an aggregate production of 2,200 barrels daily. Ten wells are drilling at the present time. Eleven well are standing on which work has been suspended, some temporarily and others on account of no or very poor showings. The Petroleum Midway Company has the Taylor well suspended at a depth of 2,697. No oil showing worth considering has been struck in this well. Darlington No. 1 continues to be a good and uniform producer, making better than 200 barrels a day. Darlington No. 2 is drilling in open hole at 1,925. Prugh No. 1 is drilling out a cement plug at 1,412 feet. No. 2 has been a flowing well for a number of months' and is doing close to 700 barrels. Pugh 3 is standing cemented at 1,600 feet. No. 4 is drilling in open hole at 1,115/ Pluma Briana No. 2 and Walters No. 1 are shut down on account of shortage of men. Both wells are better than 2,500 feet deep. The Howard and Smith stands suspended at 2,375, as the showing for a well has not been at all encouraging. The Oswald-Stevens well has a fishing job at 2,800 feet. The Mullholland continues to hold up to its initial production of 125 barrels. The Red Star Petroleum property has proven to be one of the banner properties in the Montebello field. No. 1 completed a year ago is making its 325 barrels daily of 22 gravity oil absolutely free from water. No. 3, the big well of the property, is flowing at the rate of 800 barrels daily. The oil coming from this well is 24 gravity and shows not even a trace of water. No. 4 is drilling at 2,075. No. 5 has a fishing job on at 2,200 feet.

Progress could be made only by pumping in large quantities of mud after the drill left the 50-foot mark. A well drilled near No. 31 passed through 325 feet of the same formation and no change in the drilling progress of the well is expected until about the same depth is reached. No. 28 is making excellent headway at redrilling and now has 2,300 feet of hole in good shape. The Columbia Company at Brea has its No. 8 on the Orange standing completed at 4,240, and will be on the beam as soon as the tubing arrives and can be put in. No. 7, on the same property, is making progress at 1,500. In the Olinda field the Columbia has No. 28 drilling in the oil sand at 3,000 feet. The well is looking very good and will be the company's next completion in this field. No. 30 is drilling at 3,000 feet, the going is rather slow on account of the hard formation. The Fullerton Oil Company has completed its No. 11 at a depth of 3,382. This is the first completed well the Fullerton Company has had in the past six years. The job represents two years' work and an expenditure of $100,000. However the well is a 200 barrel producer and the oil is of good quality. No. 10 a well that has been in the process of drilling for seven years and at one time some 350 feet deeper than at the present time is about to be put on the beam also. The well will be put to producing at approximately 3,375 feet. The Fullerton Oil Company has earned the reputation for sticking to difficult drilling jobs that cannot be paralleled in the Brea field. At Yorba, the new field opened a few weeks ago by the advent of the Standard Oil Company Kraemer well, the Fullerton Oil Company has commenced operations. The Fullerton company has leased 300 acres known as the Travis property, a road being built to the property, and the material for a new rig is on the ground. It is understood that the Fullerton Oil Company will rush the work on this well and get a line on its newly acquired property as soon as possible. At Olinda the Olinda Land Company, under the direction of W. J. Travers, is making some excellent progress in drilling. No. 21, the most easterly well The Red Star Petroleum property has proven to be one of the banner properties in the Montebello field. No. 1 completed a year ago is making its 325 barrels daily of 22 gravity oil absolutely free from water. No. 3, the big well of the property, is flowing at the rate of 800 barrels daily. The oil coming from this well is 24 gravity and shows not even a trace of water. No. 4 is drilling at 2,075. No. 5 has a fishing job on at 2,200 feet. No. 7 is drilling in open hole at 1,842. The General Petroleum Oil Company has moved into a conspicuous place on the development program of the Montebello field. This company is operating on five different leases and has six wells drilling. The General Petroleum's Alvitre No. 1 is drilling in the brown shale at 2,900 feet. No. 2 is making hole in the same formation at 2,080. Garvey No. 1 is drilling in hard sand at a depth of 1,951. Lieber No. 1 is making hole in blue shale at 1,900 feet. Ralph 1 is drilling at 3,180 feet and is now the J.P.'s deepest well. Nothing very encouraging has shown up as yet. That the Standard will continue to develop the vast undrilled portion of the Baldwin Hills is evinced by the constantly new locations that are being made from month to month. No. 30 and 31 have been located. No. 12 is on a pumping test at 2,700 feet, and thus far the well has produced only water. No. 11 is standing cemented at 2,817 feet. No. 18 is drilling in hard sand at 3,725. No. 19 is standing cemented at 2,800 feet. No. 21 is balling for water at 2,465. No. 22 is making hole in hard sand at 2,283. No. 24 is drilling and down 2,865 feet. No. 24 is standing cemented at 2,180. No. 25 is drilling in hard sand at 1,623. No. 26 is rotating at 1,375 feet. No. 27, a newly located project, is rigging up, 28 is building rig, 29 is building road and grading, and 30 and 31 are new locations. The big well of the week is Murphy No. 46. This gusher completed at a depth of 4,038 feet, came in a few days ago making 1,500 barrels a day. The great flow of oil coming easily and continuously, is accompanied by six and one-half million feet of gas. Ten wells are drilling on the Murphy lease and completions are expected to follow one another rapidly during the next few weeks. The production of the lease is now close to 30,000 a day. At Whittier the Standard continues to push development work. Seven wells are drilling and two are being farms and installations are already beginning to be installed by October 15th.

It is understood that the Fullerton Oil Company will rush the work on this well and get a line on its newly acquired property as soon as possible. At Olinda the Olinda Land Company, under the direction of W. J. Travers, is making some excellent progress in drilling. No. 21, the most easterly well of the Brea field and known as a wild-cat well, is drilling in the shale at 1,975. Thus far the formation in this well is conforming very closely to the producers in the adjacent field, and the management are very hopeful concerning the outcome of the well. No. 19 is now redrilling at 2,760 feet. The collapsing of casing at 2,700 feet compelled a redrill after the hole had reached 2,900 feet. However the work is going along rapidly and the tools will be on the old bottom in a few days. Officials of the Liberty Petroleum Company stated today that a market for the oil being produced by the company's first well at Newport had been secured. The company has 2,000 barrels in storage and the well has a capacity of 200 barrels per day. The oil can be disposed of at $1.25 per barrel. In a little less than two years the Montabello field has become the greatest field in Southern California. Twenty months ago the Standard Oil opened the field with Baldwin No. 1 doing 365 barrels. Today thirty companies are operating, 50 wells are drilling, five companies have a production and the daily output of the field is 26,000 barrels a day. California Petroleum Corporation depth of 4,038 feet, came in a few days ago making 1,500 barrels a day. The great flow of oil coming easily and continuously, is accompanied by six and one-half million feet of gas. Ten wells are drilling on the Murphy lease and completions are expected to follow one another rapidly during the next few weeks. The production of the lease is now close to 30,000 a day. At Whittier the Standard continues to push development work. Seven wells are drilling and two are being tested out for water. Nos. 36 and 41 are testing for water. No. 53 is drilling in blue shale at 2,320. No. 54 is making hole in sand and shale at 2,455. No. 55 stands cemented at 1,960 feet. No. 56 is undergoing a water test at 3,764. No. 57 is standing cemented at 1,900 feet. No. 58 is drilling in blue shale at 2,422. No. 59 is temporarily held up with a fishing job at a depth of 3,100 feet. At 3,200 feet the Standard Oil Company's Irvine well at Newport, changed from hard sand to blue shale. At 3,281 feet, the present depth, the blue shale still continues. No signs of oil have been observed as yet. The Standard's wild-cat well on the La Clenega ranch, at Inglewood, is making some very fast drilling time. A week ago the well showed 500 feet of hole. The report for the beginning of the week showed 1,330 feet of rotary hole, the formation being largely hard sand. On what is known as the Mission lease at San Fernando, the Standard has completed rigging up and has drilled 600 feet of hole on an initial test well. The shrewd and unscrupulous, the birds of prey in finance, realize the worth of Liberty bonds, and are going to use every effort to secure them from the hands of those owners of them who are uninformed or who are ignorant of stock and investment values. The favorite method will probably be offering stock of wild-cat companies or other speculative ventures. Speculative is really too conservative a word to apply to some of these stocks, since they have no value at all, except in the hands of unscrupulous people, who trade them for money or Liberty bonds to ignorant investors. Some of the get-rich-quick schemers propose not to trade their gold-brick stock for Liberty bonds but to lend their clients money to buy their stock, taking Liberty bonds as security. This is camouflage—only a thinly disguised method of securing Liberty bonds for worthless or near-worthless stock. Every holder of a Liberty bond before he disposes of it, and especially before he trades it for stocks or other bonds, should consult a bank. Much money will be thereby saved to the owners of Liberty bonds and the finances of the American people better conserved.

BY THE TRAINLOAD According to the report of Regional Director Holden, California shipped East 126 trainloads of fresh fruit, comprising 4738 cars, in the month of September, 1918. The purden which our prolific soil puts upon the railroads is not generally recognized. Last year two of our products alone, citrus fruits and vegetables, required nearly 100,000 cars for their transportation to the Eastern States. Imperial county shipped 4,000 carloads of cantaloupes. The prune and raisin crops of the State each average something like 100,000 tons; our dried fruits run into hundreds of thousands of tons. We ship out also lumber, canned goods, barley and other products by the carload and trainload. And at the present time a comparatively small portion of our tillable area is in use, while millions of fruit trees which have been set out are not yet in bearing. When we really do get down to business and utilize all our resources we can see where a regional director will have trouble. Fortunately, the Panama Canal is ready for business, and we are fast building up a great merchant fleet. The railroads of the future may be relieved of some of their burden. Recently a cargo of nitrates, delivered by the steamship Faith, at New Orleans, was taken up the Mississippi by a steamer, towing barges. There seems to be no reason why California lumber and other non-perishable products should not reach the markets of the Middle West and even of the East by an all-water route.

Signature Post Office Address The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Society, says: "Whenever a German article is bought by an American a certain percentage of its cost goes as a tax into the Prussian war chest, there to be used for manufacturing cannon and shells which are used to kill Americans, and the whole cost of the article is taken out of American workmen's pockets. The most effective method of weakening the power of Germany is not to buy their goods." (Cut out pledge and mail to American Defense Society, National Headquarters, 44 East 23rd St., N. Y. C.)
