NOTES ABOUT THE OIL FIELDS Items of Interest Gleaned From Southern California's Producing Fields and Progress Made. The Petroleum Midway continues to bring in nice wells on the Yarnell property. No. 14, the latest completion, started off at 500 barrels. The new well was finished at 3216. Yarnoll No. 9 will be the next producer, it is drilling at 3075. Carter No. 1 set 8-inch at 3806. Isaacs No. 2 is drilling at 400. On the Krug lease No. 4 will be the next to come in. It is now standing cemented at 2607. The Petroleum Midway's deep well, Richfield-Yorba No. 1, is close to 4400 in sandy shale and as yet has not shown a great deal of hope. Richfield Consolidated No. 1 is back on the pump, producing an unsettled figure as yet. Drilling on No. 3 is at 2745 and No. 4 is a rig. At Potter 2-A the Amalgamated Oil company is looking for its biggest producer in the Richfield district. The well has made a record for the depth of the oil sand and is being completed at 3508. Bayha No. 1 is held with a fishing job at 1600. Page No. 1 is also fishing, the depth being 2400. Breen 2-A is fishing at 1270, also Mann No. 1 at 3268. One of the most consistent producers in the Richfield district is the Selby-Root-Hogue Oil company's Claxon-Wardman No. 1. A month ago it came in at 425 barrels, soon settled to 410, and has held that figure to date. No. 2 is drilling at 2200 and No. 4 at 1600. No. 3 is a location. The Standard's Lostus-O'Bryan No. 1 drilled to 5097 is being tested out for water. Vejar No. 1, another deep test well, is making hole at 5075. On the now under way, the rich oil sand continue unbroken. When completed Tonner No. 1 should make a record production. Tonner No. 3 continue to be the General Petroleum's big producer, making close to 600 barrels daily. The Richfield-Yorba Oil company has a 600-barrel well and sprung a real surprise at Richfield. This nice well was completed at 3385 feet. The oil sand was struck at 3265 and continued unbroken to the above named depth, where the gas and oil pressure increased to such extent that the well cam in unaided. Richfield-Yorba No. 1 represents an expenditure of $145,000, two years of work and all the disappointments that can befall the oil man. The success of the well is credited to R. J. Scott, who financed the project to begin with and stayed with it when almost all his associates wanted to quit. In a number of instances Scott came forward and advanced his own money in order that the work might go on. Six months of fishing was one of the incidents faced by Scott. With less than 150 feet to go the Clark Oil company's Wetzell No. 1 is redrilling at 3955 feet, and as the bottom of the old hole is at 4100 feet, new hole will be in the making now in a few days. The showing of the Standard's big wells on the Kraemer, adjoining, makes the Clark look good. The appearance of a little water in the Placentia-Pacific's No. 1 resulted in a re-cementing job. The second co-track the National Exploration company is moving the rig 50 feet east. Some 2700 was lost. The Petroleum Midway 3-1 has been on product past week.

PERSHING'S FIRST One of the first official John J.Pershing upon as One of the most consistent producers in the Richfield district is the Selby-Root-Hogue Oil company's Claxon-Wardman No. 1. A month ago it came in at 425 barrels, soon settled to 410, and has held that figure to date. No. 2 is drilling at 2200 and No. 4 at 1600. No. 3 is a location. The Standard's Lostus-O'Bryan No. 1 drilled to 5097 is being tested out for water. Vejar No. 1, another deep test well, is making hole at 5075. On the Kraemer No. 2 lease No. 13 looks like the next big well. It is 4100 feet deep and nearing completion. No. 15 is drilling at 3900 and No. 14 at 2950. Kellog No. 2 is a drilling well at 2200 feet. Kraemer 1-9 is testing out at 4135, and No. 10 stands cemented at 2760. Kraemer 1-1 is standing at 3925. Production is steadily increasing at Bradford No. 1. Drilled to 4117 the well came in at 200 barrels, it is now making 250. Bradford No. 3 is drilling in the oil sand at 4385 and is looking rather good. Bradford No. 5, on production at 4265, is averaging about 100 barrels. Bradford Community No. 1, now drilling at 4650 in sticky brown shale, is not showing up very strong. Richfield No. 2 is drilling at 3350 and a rig is going up for No. 4. The Fullerton Oil company's Anaheim Union, now drilling at 4638, has made almost a hundred feet of new hole and still the brown shale formation struck at 4200 remains unchanged. Not more than a hundred yards away the Standard has an 800-barrel well producing in the oil sand at 4265. The General Petroleum discontinued drilling at Group 2-1 after reaching 4088 feet. The well has not made much of a showing and does not warrant further drilling. Davis No. 1 is putting in 8-inch to go ahead at 3247. Group 4-4 is rigging up cabl tool to drill out cement at 3184 and proceed. Hugo No. 3 is drilling at 1600 and No. 4 at 3665. Selby-Root-Hogue success on the Claxon-Wardman lease is forcing the United Oil company to renew operations at Richfield. A rig is now up for No. 1. No. 1 is being cleaned out and will be deepened from 3422. In spite of the cut in crude and the increased output of the field, the Union Oil company has faith in the future and is going right ahead strong with development work. On the Chapman lease and other Richfield holdings a total of 30 wells are drilling. Chapman No. 5 is 4055 and redrilling at With less than 150 feet to go the Clark Oil company's Wetzell No. 1 is redrilling at 3955 feet, and as the bottom of the old hole is at 4100 feet, new hole will be in the making now in a few days. The showing of the Standard's big wells on the Kraemer, adjoining, makes the Clark look good. The appearance of a little water in the Placentia-Pacific's No. 1 resulted in a re-cementing job. The second cementing was done at 2865 feet, on bottom. From all indications this well will go into the producing list as soon as the water has been shut off. The well has been showing up in an excellent manner. The Long Beach Consolidated has achieved something for the Newport field that is bringing a lot of pleasure and keen satisfaction to oil operators of southern California. The Long Beach Consolidated succeeded in shutting off water at 2700 feet and got an unqualified O.K. on the work by the state mining bureau. In the 10 years that development work has been under way at Newport water has been the problem that has brought grief to the operators. There seems to be plenty of oil if only the water could be shut off. The Long Beach Consolidated has done what seemed to be the impossible. The status of the Interstate Oil company's Newport wells for the week remains unchanged. Mesa No. 1 stands cemented at 2556 feet, and Norris No. 1 stands cemented at 2155 feet. At Huntington Beach The Amalgamated Oil company's Fowler No. 1 came in last week at 322, a 500-barrel well. It has settled down to 450 barrels and is producing 27.4 gravity oil, the lightest product yet found in the field. Fowler No. 2 is drilling in hard sand at 2850. Huntington's I-A is producing about 250 barrels and I-A is redrilling at 2565. Huntington No. 3 is to stop drilling at 2700 feet, the same depth at which the Standard's A-10 was cemented. Huntington No. 6 is rigging up and Pearos No. 1 is standing cemented. The development of some water in the Argonaut Oil company's 200-barrel well necessitated a recementing. Drilled to 3044, the plug was set at 2910. The Blue Shale Oil and Mining association is satisfied that the upper sands in the west side of the field are unproductive and as soon as the com- Standard Oil company to Huntington A-10 at 2775 has been showing good make a 500-barrel well, munity No. 1 is now on a reduction of 300 barrels. Completed at 2800 feet. PERSHING'S FIRST One of the first official John J. Pershing upon as new duties as chief of staff on July 1, was the issuing of an order establishing tween the war department reau of war risk insurance pose of keeping former seri formed of their rights und risk act and aiding them these benefits through thie tion of the personnel of th e bureau of war risk insu This order, General Order sues the following instructically the entire army: Assistance for ex-service their relations with the bus risk insurance.-1.

A rig is now up for No. 2. No. 1 is being cleaned out and will be deepened from 3422. In spite of the cut in crude and the increased output of the field, the Union Oil company has faith in the future and is going right ahead with development work. On the Chapman leas and other Richfield holding a total of 30 wells are drilling. Chapman No. 5 is 4055 and redrilling at 3100; No. 10 is 3200; No. 11 is cementing at 3024; No. 12 is drilling at 3200; lumber is on the ground for No. 13; Nos. 15 and 16 are rigged up, also No. 20; Nos. 18 and 19 are drilling at 2300 and 1950 respectively. Thompson-Goodwin No. 4 shows 2-650 feet. J.W. Newell No. 3 goes on the pump at 3458; it will make a 135-barrel well. No. 4 is being rigged up. Towell No. 4 is 3120 and putting in 8-inch McFadden No. 3 shows 2800 feet. Morse No. 1, drilling in the oil sand at 3345, looks like a good well. No. 5 went on the pump at 3456, but failed to make good on account of the sand. The Union's production is a matter of pride. Chapman No. 1, the famed producer of the southwest, still making 560 barrels. No. 6, the gusher, is doing 2500 barrels under 500 pounds pressure. Chapman No. 7 is still good for 800. Thompson-Goodwin No. 1 is averaging better than 275. E.L. Newell is making 125 barrels and No. 2 seems good for 60 barrels. What is believed to be the thickest stratum of oil sand ever drilled through is to be found in the General Petroleum's Tonner No. 1, in Brea canyon. At 1550 feet Tonner No. 1 made a 450-barrel well. The production decreased and the well was deepened. At 2100 feet, where drilling is The development of some water in the Argonaut Oil company's 200-barrel well necessitated a remeeting Drilled to 3044, the plug was set at 2910. The Blue Shale Oil and Mining association is satisfied that the upper sands in the west side of the field are unproductive and as soon as the company has satisfied the water commission at 2630, the present depth, the well will go deeper. A report was circulated in Huntington Beach today to the effect that the Climax Oil company had changed hands. Such is not the case. Rhodes, a Colinga oil operator, has taken the contract to drill the well on a royalty percentage basis. The Hurst Oil company's No. 1 is to stand temporarily, the idea being to await developments on near-by wells. Water conditions are to be studied in surrounding wells, the outcome of the study to decide further cementing work on the Hurst well. At 4178 feet the Mid-Central Oil company's No. 1 is showing oil in satisfactory quantity. The showing is the best the well has ever made. At 2925 the Miller-Keck company is making preparations to bring In No. 2. The well is showing up good and should make a nice producer. No. 1 stands cemented and Nos. 3, 4 and 5 are rigs. Sand prevented the Moser Special No. 1 from staying on production last week. The well is now being circulated and washed out and will be back producing before the end of the week. It is good for 275 barrels. After spending a couple of months fishing, trying to drill by and side- track the National Exploration company is moving the rig to a location 50 feet east. Some 2700 foot of hole was lost. The Petroleum Midway's Columbia 3-1 has been on production for the past week. The best that the well will do is about 35 barrels. The oil is 16 gravity and bears out the assertion that wherever heavy oil is struck the production is always small. Bray No. 1 is drilling at 2575 feet, Columbia 1-1 is standing cemented at 3226, Columbia 2-1 l$_{s}$ drilling at 2875, Thornton at 1607 is standing. Smyth $_{s}$ No. 1 is drilling at 2000. Vollmer-Meyer No. 1 is perforating 10 inch at 3088 to test out. V. M. No. 4 is drilling at 2800. The rig is up for the well on the high school property. The Republic Petroleum's No. 1 is the wonder well of Huntington Beach. Drilled to 3468 it is producing steadily at 1000 barrels daily of 24.3 gravity oil. It is the second best producer in the field. The Republic Petroleum's No. 2 drilling at 2345 is showing up good. The Sun Oil company's No. 3 is a battle with sand. Several attempts have been made to clean the well and free it of sand. After each attempt the well will pump at the rate of 250-300 babrels and shows that there is production if the sand could be controlled. Sun No. 1 l$_{s}$ now standing cemented for the fourth time at 2485. No. 4 is drilling out the cement to test water at 2142. No. 2 is a rig. Preparations are being made by the Standard Oil company to bring in Huntington A-10 at 2775. The well has been showing good and should make a 500-barrel well. Jones Community No. 1 is now on a settled production of 300 barrels. This well was completed at 2800 feet. PERSHING'S FIRST MOVE One of the first official acts of Gen. John J. Pershing upon assuming his time, be given by the City Engineer.

PERSHING'S FIRST MOVE One of the first official acts of Gen. John J. Pershing upon assuming his now duties as chief of staff of the army on July 1, was the issuing on that day of an order establishing contact between the war department and the bureau of war risk insurance for the purpose of keeping former service men informed of their rights under the war risk act and aiding them in securing these benefits through the co-operation of the personnel of the army with the bureau of war risk insurance. This order, General Order No. 27, issues the following instructions to practically the entire army: Assistance for ex-service men in their relations with the bureau of war risk insurance.—1. It is the purpose of the war department, acting through its available personnel, to assist ex-service men in every possible way in securing contact with the bureau of war risk insurance, thus enabling them without delay to renew or convert their insurance, to secure medical or dental treatment, hospitalization or vocational training, or to present their claims for compensation. 2. The obligation is imposed upon all personnel adjutants throughout the army, recruiting officers, and regular officers on duty with the national guard and organized reserves, to aid their less fortunate comrades. Such officers will at once familiarize themselves with the orders and circulate relating to the war risk insurance bureau, in so far as these instructions refer to renewal or conversion of insurance, compensation, medical or dental treatment, hospitalization and vocational training so that intelligent assistance and advice may be afforded ex-servicemen in regard to their relations with the bureau. 3. The officers mentioned will obtain without delay direct from the war risk insurance bureau, a supply of all blank forms needed by ex-servicemen in their contact with this bureau. 4. Upon application from ex-solliers, the officers mentioned in paragraph 2, will furnish blank forms, will assist in the preparation of applicaless sidewalk or cement curb to construct a driveway or for any other purpose, the sum of one dollar.
