NOTES ABOUT THE OIL FIELDS Items of Interest Gleaned From Southern California's Producing Fields and Progress Made. The Placentia Oil company succeeded in sidetracking the few remaining joints of lost drill pipe, cleaned the hole out down to bottom (2850 feet), landed a string of 10-inch pipe and cemented. Success in getting an immediate shutoff will mean a producing well for the Placentia Oil company inside a month. The Amalgamated Oil company has completed the work of abandoning the Yorba property at Richfield. Two wells drilled on the lease failed to become commercial producers. The abandonment of the Yorba property may have some bearing on the future development of the Richfield Eastern. The Fullerton Oil company announces that its Anaheim Union well at Richfield will be drilled to 5000 feet. At 4570 feet, where pipe troubles caused the redrilling of 400 feet of hole, the formation showed a brown shale. It is the intention to drill through the brown shale and pick up the deep Kraemer sands at 5000 feet. New holes will be made before the end of the week. Not before the end of the week will the cement be drilled out of the Bixby Hills Syndicate deep test well now standing at 4100 feet. It is understood now that on account of the recent reddish brown shale showing this well will be carried to a considerable depth. At 1300 feet the National Exploration company has a fishing job on for some lost 15-1-2 inch. Drilling on the Olinda well is now at 2655, the brown shale being the predominant forma- Thornton No. 1 is at 1675 feet. Towers No. 1 is drilling in sandy shale at 3150 feet. Smyth No. 1 is at 1100 feet; sandy shale. Bollmer-Meyer No. 1 is making water tests at 3045 feet and No. 4 is drilling at 2395 feet. Ray Walker No. 1 is testing out water at 2456 feet. Completed at 2775 feet, the Standard's Bolsa Chica No. 2 bids fair to rival the famous No. 1. No. 2 started off at 500 barrels. It is being held down. If allowed its freedom it would undoubtedly double this amount a couple of times. C-1, completed at 2215 feet, turned out a 50-barrel well. Torrance No. 1 now the deep well of the field; a string of 8-inch was set at 4104 feet. Thompson No. 1 is making good time drilling; it is now at 2000 feet. On the Huntington property A-5 is cemented at 2757 feet; A-7 at 2970 feet is fishing for tubing; A-9 has been cemented at 2535 feet; A-10 is standing cemented at 2750 feet, and No. 11 at 2159 feet; A-12 is drilling at 1625 feet; A-13 is a rig standing; A-14 is also a rig. Huntington B-2 is drilling at 3475 feet, No. 3 at 2635 feet and No. 4 at 2175 feet. D-1 shows 2500 feet of hole and E-1 is at 2575 feet, carrying 8-inch. The swabbing at No. 2 is well under way and the Texcal will have its No. 2 on production before the end of the week. The well has shown evidences of becoming one of the field's big producers. No. 1 is holding its own at the next well will be sixteen acres. The group of men pledged ter into an agreement if investigations of senting the company assurance that oil that locality. It is said that wog Rogers that the report is favorable and theresentative would be a few days to secure the different owner.

It is understood now that on account of the recent redish brown shale showing this well will be carried to a considerable depth. At 1300 feet the National Exploration company has a fishing job on for some lost 15 1-2 inch. Drilling on the Olinda well is now at 2655, the brown shale being the predominant formation. At 2125 the National Security Oil company set a string of 10-inch in its Orange county park well. After standing idle for a number of months the Olive Petroleum company is rigging up to run in 4 inch drill pipe at 3285 and resume drilling. The Orange County Petroleum company was reported to be drilling last week at close to 1700 feet. This was in error as the present depth of the hole is now 1625 feet, and the drilling is in shale. The Petroleum Development company's big well, Bradford No. 5, a well that started off looking like an 800 or 1000-barrel producer, did not hold up. Sanding up and filling up several hundred feet the production was shut off. It is now being redrilled and cleaned out at 4265 feet. The Richfield-Yorba succeeded in getting the hole originally drilled to 3135 feet cleaned out, and put in good condition. Drilling and deepening is now at 3250 feet, the formation sandy shale. The Eddiestone Oil Corporation is rigging up at Puente A-1 for a deep test and will be ready to start actual drilling in a few days. The well is to be drilled in the heart of one of California's oldest fields and will be watched with considerable interest. On drilling out the cement and making some tests the Placentia Pacific Oil company found a small quantity of intermediate water. A second cementing was done which will, it is believed, solve the water difficulties. Cemented at 3700 feet and drilling on to 3865 feet, the formation showed all oil sand. Indications are good for bringing in a nice well as soon as the temporary work of shutting off the intermediate water is completed. One of the most consistent producers in the Yorba-Richfield district is the General Petroleum's Hugo No. 1. Drilled to 3275 feet two months ago, the well came in at 480 barrels and 1625 feet; A-13 is a rig standing; A-14 also a rig. Huntington B-2 is drilling at 3475 feet, No. 3 at 2635 feet and No. 4 at 2175 feet. D-1 shows 2500 feet of hole and B-1 is at 2575 feet, carrying 8-inch. The swabbing at No. 2 is well under way and the Texcal will have its No. 2 on production before the end of the week. The well has shown evidences of becoming one of the field's big producers. No. 1 is holding its own at 450 barrels with ease. At Huntington No. 1-A, drilled to 3000 feet, the Amalgamated Oil company has a 450-barrel well flowing by heads. Huntington No. 3 is doing some pioneer testing out work as to water in a rotary hole at 2175 feet. Pierce No. 1 is drilling at 3250 feet and will set pipe somewhere between 3500 and 3600 feet. Fowler No. 1 is drilling at 3200 and No. 2 at 1955. After making a nice flow for several hours that put the Argonaut Oil company's Turley No. 1 in the 450-barrel class, the well sanded up. It is now being washed and the sand circulated out. At Bolsa Chica No. 1 the perforated has been set at 2257 feet, and bailing for the past few days to bring the well in shows that the well is a producer and will have to be nursed along until the hole is cleared. The deepening seems to have secured the desired results. Th Edens Syndicate has shown a capacity of from 350 to 400 barrels, but like a number of neighboring wells no true line can be gotten on the production until it is cleared of sand. It is now cleaning out. The cement is being drilled out at Fidelity No. 1. The pipe was set at 2100 feet and a number of good showings were reported. It is believed that the Fidelity will get a good well at the shallow mark. Should this prove out more attention will probably be given to the upper sands. At 3100 feet the Miller Syndicate struck a nice showing of oil and gas, backed up and set 10-inch at 3000 feet. After making oil at the rate of 200 barrels the Moser Special No. 1 quit producing. An attempt is being made to pull the 8-inch and clean out the well. Should the cleaning out fail to restore the production it will be drilled deeper. Sand continues to menace the Panages-Huntington, not letting the well produce for more than three or four days. It is being washed So far as is known strong and Plavan est to Santa Ana o lease to an oil open fact that oil men are district an indie see some probable ment of "black go south of that c There are many city who believe that lie the whole of Spert declared recent attain he could locate mile from the po Fourth streets ther He indicated that of Santa Ana, but definitely the point It is said that r in progress between resentatives and al in the city limits that city. SENATOR TO PR Poindexter Will C tee on Measure Anti-railroad站 soon to be considered was announced y Poindexter, author anti-strike bill. I sub-committee na and said that at tility in the pressure he will call the take action. "The question l acy of the govern ion, and the major minority."

"It is said tha voluntary servitu absurd, and would constitution, even enacted." The Poindexter senate at tha a roll call, but t considered and f ed, solve the water difficulties. Cemented at 3700 feet and drilling on to 3865 feet, the formation showed all oil sand. Indications are good for bringing in a nice well as soon as the temporary work of shutting off the intermediate water is completed. One of the most consistent producers in the Yorba-Richfield district is the General Petroleum's Hugo No. 1. Drilled to 3275 feet two months ago, the well came in at 480 barrels and has held that figure with little variation. On the Anaheim Union lease the Amalgamated Oil company completed and put No. 54 on the pump two weeks ago at 175 barrels. Since that time the production has been gradually increasing, and is now up to 200 barrels. The older oil operators of southern California, whose experience runs back into years, are expressing the opinion that Huntington Beach is destined to become one of California's greatest fields. The only thing that can prevent this opinion from fully materializing, they further claim, is the successful solution of a somewhat troublesome water problem. A number of the leading companies are studying the water problem closely and with the co-operation of the mining bureau the problem will be taken care of. There is a willingness to get together and that means the thing will be done. As yet the water situation has not become alarming or discouraging, but showing its presence here and there it has assumed sufficient proportions to warrant study and serious thought. The Petroleum Midway is the second heaviest developer at Huntington. This company has 10 wells drilling. Bray No. 1 is testing at 2393 feet, Columbia 1-1 is drilling in the oil sand at 3255 feet. Columbia 3-1 shows 2300 feet of hole. Thornton No. 1 is at 1675 feet. struck a nice showing of oil and gas, backed up and set 10-inch at 3000 feet. After making oil at the rate of 200 barrels the Moser Special No. 1 quit producing. An attempt is being made to pull the 8-inch and clean out the well. Should the cleaning out fail to restore the production it will be drilled deeper. Sand continues to menace the Pantages-Huntington, not letting the well produce for more than three or four days at a time. It is being washed out now. When producing it does about 400 barrels. GREENVILLE OIL ACTIVITY With 186 acres in the Greenville district leased to the Huntington Beach Petroleum Oil company and owners representing about 600 acres agreeing among themselves to sign leases under certain conditions, Greenville today loomed a possible new oil district in Orange county. The acreage under lease is owned by William W. Armstrong, 170 acres, and Clyde Plavan, sixteen acres. The leases with Armstrong and Plavan provide that drilling operations shall start within a period of six months following the date of the signing of the contract. The prospective oil magnates signed their names a few days ago. The contracts carry a clause obligating the company to pay the property owners $1 per month per acre until drilling operations are started and protect the right of Armstrong and Plavan to quit claim their property in the event that drilling does not start within the prescribed time. The two tracts are not in a community lease. It is understood that drilling is to commence first on the Armstrong holdings and that if oil is found the next well will be sunk on Plavan's sixteen acres. The group of men representing the six hundred acres have not as yet signed a lease with an oil company, but it is expected that they will do so within the next week or two. H. F. Rogers has been made spokesman for the group and he has been negotiating with a man from Huntington Beach who is said to represent a large and responsible company. The men pledged themselves to enter into an agreement with a company if investigations of a geologist representing the company gave reasonable assurance that oil might be found in that locality. It is said that word has been sent to Rogers that the report of the geologist is favorable and the oil company representative would be in the district in a few days to secure the signatures of the different owners. Tentatively it is proposed that each tract shall be a separate lease, with the leasing company obligated to drill a well on every twenty acres or less when an individual signer has less than that number of acres. Among those interested in the prospective leases for 600 acres are the following: A. E. Selvidge, 20 acres; R. W. Selvide, 18; George Manderscheld, 70; Sam Manderscheld, 50; Sherman Foster, 22; Sam Webber, 30; Thad Williams, 20; Gene and Steven Griset, 50; Guy Wilmot, 40; H. F. Rogers, 18; Joseph Neusbaumer, 20; John Harmon, 60; Frank Planchon, 30; Havens Seed company, 40. So far as is known here the Armstrong and Plavan leases are the nearest to Santa Ana of any ground under lease to an oil operating company. The fact that oil men are angling in that district is an indication that experts see some probability of the development of "black gold" immediately to the south of that city.

So far as is known here the Armstrong and Plavan leases are the nearest to Santa Ana of any ground under lease to an oil operating company. The fact that oil men are angling in that district is an indication that experts see some probability of the development of "black gold" immediately to the south of that city. There are many people in that vicinity who believe that oil deposits underlie the whole of Santa Ana and an export declared recently that he was certain he could locate a well within one mile from the corner of Main and Fourth streets that would be a producer. He indicated the direction as south of Santa Ana, but would not disclose definitely the point he referred to. It is said that negotiations are still in progress between oil company representatives and acreage owners within the city limits in the west wart of that city. SENATOR TO PRESS RAIL-STRIKE BAN Poindexter Will Call His Sub-Committee on Measure to End Walkouts Anti-railroad strike legislation is soon to be considered in the senate. It was announced yesterday by Senator Poindexter, author of the so-called anti-strike bill. He is chairman of a sub-committee named to consider it, and said that at the earliest opportunity in the pressure of current business he will call the members together to take action. "The question is that of the supremacy of the government over insurrection, and the majority over the lawless minority." Senator Poindexter said. "Sooner or later such laws will inevitably be enacted. A great deal of misconstruction and misrepresentation has been published in regard to the bill. It does not propose in any way to limit the right of any individual or group of individuals to quit their employment. "It is said that it would impose involuntary servitude. Of course, this is absurd, and would be prohibited by the constitution, even if such a bill were enacted." The Poindexter bill was passed in the senate at the last session without a roll call, but the vote later was considered and final action never was Book 6, page 12 of Miscellaneous Maps, Records of Orange County, California. Terms and conditions of sale: Cash, in gold coin of the United States; 10 per cent of the purchase price to be paid at the time of sale; balance on confirmation of sale. Deeds and abstracts at the expense of the purchaser. The purchaser to assume the payment of, and take the property purchased by him subject to, all the state and county taxes, and all assessments of whatsoever name and nature, which are now or may become hereafter chargeable to or a lien against the property purchased by him.

"It is said that it would impose involuntary servitude. Of course, this is absurd, and would be prohibited by the constitution, even if such a bill were enacted." The Poindexter bill was passed in the senate at the last session without a roll call, but the vote later was reconsidered and final action never was taken. Senator Poindexter proposes now to bring it up again. "There are four things penalized by the measure," he said. "First, agitation and incitement, with intent to prevent the movement of commodities in commerce, through propaganda of any kind, to induce the employees of carriers to quit their work. Second, the use of force, violence, threats or menace, with the intent of tying up commerce, to terrorize or coerce railroad employees into quitting work. Third, injury or destruction of transportation property, with intent to prevent movement of commodities. Fourth, conspiracy with intent to hinder, restrain or prevent operation of trains of other transportation facilities." The measure, Senator Poindexter said, applies to managers, officers, owners and all other persons as well as to employees. He denied that the measure was in the interest of the railroads, said that some railroad companies are opposed to it, while others favor it. "It is in the interest of the public," he continued, "and for the purpose of establishing the rule of law and order in protection of the vital interests of the people against violence, disorder and coercion."
