Oil Field Notes By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The second week of December opens with the oil operators busy throughout the entire Southern California field. The future of the oil industry never looked better than at the present time. The production of the southern field is at its greatest height, 78,000 barrels daily. Wild-cat projects almost everywhere through the field are meeting with encouraging results. A great deal of new capital has been invested in the oil business already since the signing of the armistice, and there is a feeling that the oil industry will forge ahead to great things as the reconstruction work begins. It seems that the results obtained by the Liberty Petroleum at Newport is attracting considerable attention. Two new companies have entered the water front field. The Interstate Oil Company has leased a large acreage on the Irvine Hills south of the Liberty and Standard properties, erected a rig and made 300 feet of hole. This hill property is looked upon by a number of practical oil men as first-class property, although the geologists have turned it down. It remains for the Interstate to show who is right. The second concern to enter the Newport field is the Hurlburt Oil Company. This concern has leased property west of the Standard's Irvine and will commence work as soon as the rig can be built and made ready for drilling. After standing cemented a couple of weeks the Standard Oil Company's Olinda Land Company's No. 21, the wild-cat well of the extreme eastern end of the Olinda field is going better. The softer formation is enabling much faster drilling. The well will be closely watched for an oil showing from now on. No. 20, a new well started a few days ago, is drilling and shows 150 feet of hole. The West Coast Oil Company has three wells drilling and is making some splendid progress on the wells. No. 62 is drilling in hard sand at 2371 and made during the past week 20 feet of hole in spite of the hard drilling. No. 69 is drilling in the conglomerate at 2175 and is going a little slow. No. 79 is also in the conglomerate with 1875 feet of hole. The Standard Oil Company early in the week moved into its new, modern and up-to-date camp on the Kraemer lease. The camp is well situated, with all the accommodations the oil man likes, and represents the way in which this big oil company does things. Two weeks ago water broke into the Standard Oil Company's Kraemer No. 1, the first producing well of the field, and drove the oil back. Work immediately was started to ascertain from whence the water was coming. The water has been cemented off and the well is back on the beam. While the well is making a little water it is thought that the cementing has been successful and the well will soon be making clean oil. Kraemer No. 2 is drilling in the shale and boulders at 2470 feet. Lock No. 1 is drilling in blue shale at 2332 with no showing of oil as yet. On the Anaheim Union lease No. 1 has been cemented at 2634 feet and is standing. Drilling at a depth of 2884 feet the Union-Oil Company wild-cat well on the Chapman ranch at Placentia, is looking better than it has ever looked before. The formation at this depth is with 2578 feet of hole being at 2140. No. g7 at 2675, and Nd. 59 at 3312 the new location receiving building is advancing right. At Santa Fe Springs Company's outlook for Myer well is not very string of tools lost in it Up to date the well signs of oil, and prevent mishap the drill hie in nothing better than is hoped that the tool out or drilled by, allow to proceed with the drill test well, the original Union Oil Company. After drilling for fill in all the different varieties of shale formation the Oil Company's Durfee a change of formation mation struck at 3344 sand. No oil showing ed as yet. After making a suf of water at 3260 feet 614 casing, the Dohre resumed drilling on well. The depth is no work going along nice. The Five Star Oil Co now making hole at feet. The formation no oil showings worth yet. The General Petroleum is now reckoned as one of development work This company has said On the Alvitre proper ing out and drilling a drilling in sand and it is looking good enough well. Garvey No. 1 sand at 2470. Liebermented at 2394. No of practical oil men as first-class property, although the geologists have turned it down. It remains for the Interstate to show who is right. The second concern to enter the Newport field is the Hurlburt Oil Company. This concern has leased property west of the Standard's Irvine and will commence work as soon as the rig can be built and made ready for drilling. After standing cemented a couple of weeks the Standard Oil Company's wild-cat well on the Cienega ranch at Inglewood, has resumed drilling and is down 2350 feet. No oil showings mark the progress of the well as yet. It is understood that R. W. Phelps, field geologist for the Union Oil Company, worked this property out carefully a number of years ago and he banks strongly on the bringing in of some big wells. The Standard Oil Company following an old-time custom of drilling wells in new fields with the standard tools, is drilling the initial test well at San Fernando with cable tools. The depth of the well is now 250 feet. A careful study of the formation will be made as the well proceeds. At a depth of 3554 feet the Amalgamated Oil Company's No. 42, on the Anaheim Union lease, is beginning to look a little more encouraging. The well is drilling in brown shale and showing considerable gas. This is the first showing of any consequence the well has made since leaving the 3200 mark, and the outlook began to look a little dubious for an oil well. However the well still has all the indications of being a deep one before the oil sand is pierced in any quantity. The Brea Canyon Oil Company's No. 28 is taking on all the appearances of a big well at a depth of 2625 feet. At this depth an oil sand has been drilled into that is full of oil and gas. The gas pressure is sufficient to impede drilling unless the hole is kept full of water. No. 31 is making hole at 675 feet and is making excellent progress for a standard tool well. No. 32 is a new location with the stake set for the derrick. The installation work on 13 gas engines is well under way. Five of the engines are now running. It is the intention of this company to handle all the producing wells with gas engines, and will do away with all steam engines and boilers. At No. 7 of the Columbia Oil Company on the Orange lease, a bad fishing job developed three weeks ago, the parting of a double section bailed being the cause. The mishap occurred The Diamond Oil Company, headed by Messrs. R. E. Wells and Whitley and understood to be backed by the Gugenheim interests has made some interesting discoveries on Rideout Heights. At 1100 feet a nice showing of oil was struck. The oil showing caused the management to discontinue the rotary and install the standard tools.* The drilling hence forward will be watched with a great deal of interest. The good showing of oil at the shallow depth of 100 feet is rather unusual and is now the subject of a good deal of sperulation. The Fullerton Oil Company, after drilling its Whittier field well No. 4 in Cat Canyon, has cemented at 2000 feet. Previous to the cementing the well thought that the cementing has been successful and the well will soon be making clean oil. Kraemer No. 2 is drilling in the shale and boulders at 2470 feet. Lock No. 1 is drilling in blue shale at 2332 with no showing of oil as yet. On the Anaheim Union lease No. 1 has been cemented at 2634 feet and is standing. Drilling at a depth of 2884 feet the Union Oil Company wild-cat well on the Chapman ranch at Placentia, is looking better than it has ever looked before. The formation at this depth is brown shale and the well is showing lots of gas. Success here will mean the opening up of a new field near Placentia. Drilling at a depth of 4475 feet in nothing better than blue shale, the Union's No. 6, on the Bastanchury property, begins to look like a very deep well before the oil sand is struck. Work on No. 5, the gusher, has resumed. The well is being cleaned out and further attempts will be made to shut off the bottom water that quickly destroyed a 400-barrel producer ten days ago. This well is 4738 feet deep and if the water problem can be solved and the well put on the beam it will be one of the deepest producers in the field. Two months ago the Tri-State Oil Company drilled a wild-cat well at La Habra 5595 feet deep, struck a dry hole and concluded to abandon. The work of abandoning the well proceeded from this great depth of over a mile up to 2250 feet. At this depth three joints of casing showed considerable oil on the pipe and the management decided to test out. The well was cemented, and at this date reports from the well state that the bailings are showing strong oil colors and that there is a possibility of there being something at this comparatively shallow depth.

It is the intention of this company to handle all the producing wells with gas engines, and will do away with all steam engines and boilers. At No. 7 of the Columbia Oil Company on the Orange lease, a bad fishing job developed three weeks ago, the parting of a double section bailed being the cause. The mishap occurred at a depth of 2830 feet. The fishing will continue in the hope of getting the bailer out of the hole. No. 8 continues flowing nicely and easily, putting 300 barrels into the tanks daily. The oil is coming through the 6-inch casing. The Fullerton Oil Company's No. 11 completed and put on the beam two weeks ago has settled down to a steady production of 115 barrels a day. No. 11, the "jinx" well of the field, is completed and ready to bring in as soon as the tubing is installed. Hard luck has stood in with this well ever since it was started over six years ago. The Fullerton Oil Company will no doubt be glad to get this well finished up and pumping. A small well is the best that can be expected. No. 13 is drilling on standard tools and shows 740 feet of hole, and represents all the development work the Fullerton Oil Company is doing in the Brea field at this time. In the Olinda field, the pioneer field of the state, development work continues strong with four companies operating. The Columbia Oil Company has two deep wells drilling. No. 28 is down 3450 feet in the oil sand and is looking very good. No. 39 has 3350 feet of hole and is beginning to look a little like an oil well. No. 31 is standing cemented. Changing from conglomerate to blue shale as a depth of 2285 feet the oil was struck. The oil showing caused the management to discontinue the rotary and install the standard tools. The drilling hence forward will be watched with a great deal of interest. The good showing of oil at the shallow depth of 100 feet is rather unusual and is now the subject of a good deal of sperulation. The Fullerton Oil Company, after drilling its Whittier field well No. 4 in Cat Canyon, has cemented at 2000 feet. Previous to the cementing the well was drilling in brown shale and looking rather good. The Murphy lease of the Standard Oil Company is one of the busiest in the Southern California field. Fourteen wells are in the process of drilling on this famous property which produces the cream of the production of the entire southland. Wells are in every form of development, from the grading for the rig to the drilling as deep as 4100 feet. No. 35 is drilling at 4077. No. 47 at 3690 feet. No. 48 at 3654. No. 49 at 3680. No. 50 at 4050. No. 51 at 3383. No. 52 at 2662. No. 53 at 3700, and No. 57 at 1600 feet. No. 43 is testing water conditions at 3505, and No. 44 at 3900. No. 54 stands cemented at 3160. No. 55, a new well, is rigging up, as is also No. 56. Both these new wells will start off with the rotary. On the Whittier lease the Standard has No. 56 drilling at the great depth of 4177 feet. The statement at great depth is made as compared to other wells-drilled in this field. Most on the completed wells average about 3200 feet, many of them not so deep. At No. 56 a deep test well will be drilled.Close to 4000 feet was made with the rotary before making the change to standard tools. This in itself is quite an achievement. No. 36 stands cemented at 3628. No. 41 is also cemented and stands at 3276. No. 53 is drilling It is understood that ing the completion break loose about tions of the Stand property includes wells standing cem two wells and thre wells.

No. 58 at 2675, and Nd. 59 at 3198. At No. 56 the new location recently made rig building is advancing rapidly. At Santa Fe Springs the Union Oil Company's outlook for a well on the Myer well is not very good with a string of tools lost in a 4365 foot hole. Up to date the well has showed no signs of oil, and previous to the present mishap the drill has been cutting in nothing better than hard sand. It is hoped that the tools can be gotten out or drilled by, allowing the work to proceed with the drilling of a deep test well, the original intention of the Union Oil Company. After drilling for five hundred feet in all the different varieties and shades of shale formation the Amalgamated Oil Company's Durfee well has gotten a change of formation. The new formation struck at 3342 feet is gray sand. No oil showings have been noted as yet. After making a successful shut-off of water at 3260 feet with a string of 6¼ casing, the Doheney Pacific has resumed drilling on its Montebello well. The depth is now 3710 with the work going along nicely. The Five Star Oil Company's well is now making hole at a depth of 3550 feet. The formation is blue shale with no oil showings worth considering as yet. The General Petroleum Oil Company is now reckoned as one of the leaders of development work at Montebello. This company has six wells drilling. On the Alvitre property No. 1 is cleaning out and drilling at 3015. No. 2 is drilling in sand and shale at 2435 and is looking good enough to warrant a well. Garvey No. 1 is drilling in hard sand at 2470. Lieber No. 1 stands cemented at 2394.

The surgeon has extracted the impartially distributed bits of shrapnel from your works. The wounds have healed. The wheels go 'round again, and the clock ticks. But it doesn't keep correct time. This business of calling "Time!" on the Hoche means so many broken clocks nowadays that the master-menders can't keep them on their tables after they're mended. So the question where they shall sit around while they're being regulated looms large. The Red Cross answers that question with its convalescent homes. It has six of these in operation. A suitable place is found—sometimes donated—and management and equipment are provided by the Red Cross, while the Army has furnished discipline and a never-failing supply of convalescents. These homes mean that men who are scarcely hospital subjects, yet who can by no means go back to their duties, have a place that does what "home" does for the French or English soldier, what "home" does for any one, in fact, when the doctor gets through. You know. He says: "You're all right now. It's only a matter of nursing and food." But you know he's only looking at the works he's tinkered, and that the soul within you is grousing as it never did when the body was down and out. It wants something, and it doesn't know what it is. But if it doesn't get it pretty quick the works are going to get gummed again.

NO SEALS SOLD THIS YEAR. The customary sale of Red Cross Christmas sets will not be held this year It seemed best to both the American Red Cross and the National Tuberculosis Association to unite in the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call to reduce the number of appeals to the public for contributions There will be no lessening of activities by the National Tuberculosis Association through this arrangement, as the Red Cross War Council has appropriated $2,500,000 for anti-tuberculosis work in 1919 lieu of money that ordinarily would be raised by a Christmas Seal Campaign However every person joining the Red Cross during the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call will be awarded ten seals to be used as heretofore. THE RED CROSS GORDON. An American Red Cross worker who was among those volunteering to help in the hospitals and at the station where the hospital trains arrived, overheard some of the wounded talking about the American Red Cross. "Gee! We'd a starved if It hadn't been for the Red Cross!" said one boy, and then, laughing: "at his own exaggeration, he went on to explain the circumstances under which the Red Cross representative with his division had done some timely service." The Ger HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS Hold your Liberty Bonds and War Savings Certificates。 Hold them first because they are the best investment in the United States, is the appeal of Secretary of the Treasury William G.McAdoo, as sent to Twelfth Federal Reserve District Liberty Loan headquarters: Following is the Secretary's statement: "Hold your Liberty Bonds and War Savings Certificates。 Hold them first because they are the best investment in the United States, is the appeal of Secretary of the Treasury William G.McAdoo, as sent to Twelfth Federal Reserve District Liberty Loan headquarters: Following is the Secretary's statement: "Hold your Liberty Bonds and War Savings Certificates。 Hold them first because they are the best investment in the United States, is the appeal of Secretary of the Treasury William G.McAdoo, as sent to Twelfth Federal Reserve District Liberty Loan headquarters: Following is the Secretary's statement: "Hold your Liberty Bonds and War Savings Certificates。 Hold them first because they are the best investment in...the United States."

"Hold them because...the time may come when such an investment will prove to be a true friend in time of need, a guaranty against...the fear of debt and insurance against real hardships." "Hold them because...the need for saving is not over。 Government expenses are today larger than at any time during the war。 Our boys in France and Germany must be paid and fed and clothed, and,...when their work is over transported home。 They have not quit。 Why should you? It is understood that a couple are near the completion stage and will break loose about next week. Operations of the Standard on this famous property includes 4 wells drilling, 2 wells standing cemented, water test on two wells and three locations for new wells. On the Temple property adjoining the Baldwin Hills No. 9, the only well now drilling on this lease is making hole at 1555. Some 800 feet was made during the past week. The Union Oil Company is pushing development work on its La Merced property at Montebello. Work on two new wells is going ahead rapidly. No. 13 is building rig, and No. 14 is rigging preparatory to commencing drilling before the end of the week. No. 7 is making a test for water at 2330. No. 8 has encountered some pipe trouble at 2030 feet and is being held back. At No. 9 redrilling is making good progress with 2574 feet redrilled. No. 10 has met with casing trouble, the parting of a string of the 8¼ pipe at 2695 is causing some delay on this well. No. 11 is making excellent drilling time with 1555 role to the good. After drilling over 2500 feet of hole on the Slaughter lease well a purely wild-cat project at Montebello, the Union has discontinued work on the well. The well is standing idle and there is some question as to whether or not the project will ever be drilled any deeper. The well is out of the producing area and has never showed any enouragement. Wild-cat wells of the Union are meeting with a lot of disaster of one kind and another. At Valley View after drilling to 1800 feet, a string of tools was lost in the hole and two weeks of continuous fishing has failed to recover them. An American Red Cross worker who was among those volunteering to help in the hospitals and at the station where the hospital trains arrived, overheard some of the wounded talking about the American Red Cross. "Gee! We'd a starved if it hadn't been for the Red Cross!" said one boy, and then, laughing at his own exaggeration, he went on to explain the circumstances under which the Red Cross representative with his division had done some timely service. The Germans, of course, were to blame, for they retreated so rapidly that it was practically impossible for the supplies to keep up with the pursuing Americans. "We cleaned up seven kilometers in less than two hours," another reclining figure explained, "and they were still going when I was knocked out. For three days I had had nothing to eat but hard tack, and for some days before the food had been monotonous—to put it mildly. So you can imagine what it meant to us boys to have the Red Cross Gordon come up with a supply of chocolate, canned peaches and other good things. It was a life-saver." Hold them because the need for saving is not over. Government expenses are today larger than at any time during the war.
