OIL FIELD NOTES Several transactions and changes were made in the past week at Huntington Beach. The biggest and most important oil transaction was the sale of the Miller syndicate to the Selby-Root and Hogue Oil company for a consideration of $225,000. The property of the Miller syndicate all looks very productive. Suck wells as the Eddystone Oil corporation, now the Shell-Union, has brought in and the Mackris Brothers' No. 2 puts the Miller syndicate property among the most choice in the field. The Selby-Root and Hogue company should have little trouble in developing a big production on the Miller syndicate. The Selby-Root and Hogue company is headed by F. M. Selby, president of the Selby Oil and Gas company of Oklahoma. With the sale of the Miller syndicate and the releasing of his interests in the Edens-Tracy Oil company, R. W. ("Tux") Edens virtually retires from the role of an oil producer to that of a drilling contractor. Edens has built up a powerful and efficient organization in the Orange County Drilling company and to this work he will devote his entire attention. Averaging seventy-five barrels of twenty-one gravity oil an hour, the Shell Oil company's Ashton well No. 2 Friday held its place as the third-largest producer in the Huntington Beach field. The well is making 1800 barrels every twenty-four hours. The Shell company's big producer started gushing at the rate of 2400 barrels a day Thursday morning, but settled down to 1800 barrels, where operators expect it to remain, as the Averaging seventy-five barrels of twenty-one gravity oil an hour, the Shell Oil company's Ashton well No. 2 Friday held its place as the third-largest producer in the Huntington Beach field. The well is making 1800 barrels every twenty-four hours. The Shell company's big producer started gushing at the rate of 2400 barrels a day Thursday morning, but settled down to 1800 barrels, where operators expect it to remain, as the well has a large drainage zone. Originally drilled to 3515 feet, the well came in last September at the rate of 800 barrels. It settled down, however, and the company drilled to 3922 feet with cable tools. Neil Anderson, superintendent of the Selby-Root-Hogue Oil company and the Mosier special interest, has taken over the Huntington Signal and Edens spindicate to put on production for a share of the oil. He will deepen the Edens syndicate, putting it down into the deep high gravity producing sands, and will trace out the water in the Huntington-Signal and put it on production a clean well. Starting off at the rate of 100 barrels an hour is the record made by the Machris brothers No. 2 well at Huntington Beach. Completed at 4020 feet, this new well makes the north side of the field look better than ever. The big well has settled down to 1200 barrels and bids fair to become one of the long-lived big producers of the field. Paptages-Huntington is back on production. Three months ago this well developed water. The water was shut off with little difficulty and the hole was deepened to 2380 feet. Starting off at 150 barrels, the well is expected to increase this production as it gets underway and pumps off the "dead" and heavy oil. The Petroleum Midway is rigging up to deepen its famous high gravity well, Vollmer-Meyer No. 1. Flushed with the wonderful success of No. 1, now producing 550 barrels, the Rio Bravo Oil company is building a derrick for another well and will rush the drilling as rapidly as possible. It is the intention to drill four more wells at once. The Standard Oil company came in for a share of the new Huntington California, have just leased 1100 acres of what appears to be the most promising oil-bearing land in the state, located near Carpenteria, Santa Barbara county. The city of Long Beach has leased to A. T. Jergins and associates Reservoir Hill, a tract containing 120 acres. This lease is the largest one-piece lease in the Signal Hill field. The property is located between the General Petroleum's Black-Drake gusher and the Cal-Mex. Oil and Refining company's Kirkpatrick lease, and is in what is now regarded the most productive area of the field. Jack Doyle is now an oil producer. The Doyle-Clune Oil company completed its first well on Signal Hill a few days ago and the new producer started off doing 700 barrels. Number one of the United States Oil corporation came in Sunday with 600 barrels and immediately sanded up. It was flowing again Thursday with 450 barrels of 25 gravity oil. Leonard No. 1 looks like the next big producer for Signal Hill. The Shell company's addition to the Hill's production for the week is a 475-barrel well at Church No. 1. This producer was completed at 3029 feet. Patton-Wilson No. 1, the well on production test last week, pulled the 81-4 inch and is going on deeper. Four new wells came in on the Huntington Beoch field during the week ending Thursday evening, including the 2000 barrel gusher which came Saturday. This, Reliance number two, continues to be the sensation of the field. It has continued at the 2000 barrel rate with the gravity very close to the 25 mark and is under a 110 pound pressure at the cap. The Copeland well number one, which came in last April has been... Flushed with the wonderful success of No. 1, now producing 550 barrels, the Rio Bravo Oil company is building a derrick for another well and will rush the drilling as rapidly as possible. It is the intention to drill four more wells at once. The Standard Oil company came in for a share of the new Huntington Beach production with two wells. Huntington B-6, drilled to 2665, came in a 300-barrel well. Jones Community No. 2, completed at 2905, came in at 500 barrels. The greatest oil producer in the southern California field today is the Union Oil company's Morse No. 3 at Richfield. The well is making 4600 barrels. Just across the line on the Chapman property adjoining, the Union has Chapman No. 11 nearing completion. This well will probably come in somewhere around 5000. The Amalgamated Oil company has closed a transaction for the Placentia-Pacific at Richfield. The Placentia-Pacific is in a very promising wildcat section of the field. The Bixby Hills country got another jolt downward so far as becoming an oil field is concerned, when the Shell-Union abandoned Chino No. 1. At Santa Fe Springs the Standard will probably be the next to bring in a well. The Union, however, may be the first with the next well, as Meyer No. 5 is about ready to be tried out. A group of prominent oil men, several of them connected with the largest producing companies in southern Four new wells came in on the Huntington Beoch field during the week ending Thursday evening, including the 2000 barrel gusher which came Saturday. This, Reallance number two, continues to be the sensation of the field. It has continued at the 2000 barrel rate with the gravity very close to the 25 mark and is under a 110 pound pressure at the cap. The Copeland well number one, which came in last April has been cleared and deepened and came in again Wednesday with 600 barrels per day of a 26 gravity oil. In April, when it came in, it was producing only an 18 gravity oil and sanded up. It was pumped to 3145 feet, then deepened to 3550 feet and cased with 6 14 inch casing. At 3115 feet a water shut off was obtained and they were able to maintain the high pressure. The drilling has been done by the Union Oil company. The other new big well of the field however was brought in by the Republican Petroleum corporation, last Tuesday. It is directly across Main street from the well number one of the same company. It came in with 1600 barrels per day of 22 gravity oil. After six hours of flowing it sanded up and was deepened. The new depth is 3843. More than 400 feet of this is in oil sand and is cased with screened casing. The total production for the week showed an increase of 3303 barrels over the previous week. The total production for this week was 27,862 barrels from the 84 wells that are producing an average daily production of 319 barrels as against 312 barrels for last week. There are four more new wells in the Gold making a total of 260 rigs in the Huntington Beach field. The government it fully recognizes continuing to save a portion investment, especially securities.

Mr. Hardee goes on to say: 'The appalling waste of economic resources in that great conflict echoed a summons to the world to bend its energies toward the re-ammulation of capital as rapidly as it can be saved. So far as the average American citizen is concerned, he will find no safer method of doing this than that now offered by the United States government." "In the gratifying public response which has followed Secretary of the Treasury Mellon's recent announcement of the new issue of 4 1/2 per cent treasury savings certificates, intended primarily to encourage popular investment of moderate sums, executives who consider the basic relationship between the accumulation of saving and national prosperity, will find a somewhat encouraging sign. Business men in particular have natural interest in the widespread development of habits of saving and investment. Inasmuch as most business is conducted with the capital of others, a period of broad economic development has usually followed when funds have become plentiful. The rapid accumulation of new capital provides one of the surest ways of hastening prosperity, as it is through the re-investment of earnings, by both individuals and corporations, that a country develops its agriculture, industry and commerce. Without constant accretions of new capital progress is impossible, and, obviously, the main reliance for new capital is on savings. What the government is doing in its new movement to encourage saving, therefore, should be of sub- NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS OR BIDS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed proposals or bids will be received by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said city up to Thursday, the 23rd day of March, 1922, at the hour of eight o'clock P.M., for furnishing all labor and materials, for the construction and completion of a comfort station for the City of Anaheim, in accordance with certain plans and specifications therefor, which said specifications were prepared by M. Eugene Durfee, architect of Anaheim, Cal fornia, which are marked and designated "Comfort Station for City Park at Anaheim, California," and which were filed in the office of the City Clerk of said City on the 23rd day of February, 1922, and those certain plans, prepared by said M. Eugene Durfee, and marked and designated "Comfort Station for City Park, Anaheim, California," and which were filed in the office of the City Engineer of said city, on the 17th day of February, 1922.

The rapid accumulation of new capital provides one of the surest ways of hastening prosperity, as it is through the re-investment of earnings, by both individuals and corporations, that a country develops its agriculture, industry and commerce. Without constant accretions of new capital progress is impossible, and, obviously, the main reliance for new capital is on savings. What the government is doing in its new movement to encourage saving, therefore, should be of substantial interest to executives who are concerned with fundamentals." The government has indicated that it fully recognizes the importance of continuing to encourage individuals to save a portion of their earnings for investment, especially in government securities. This because of the beneficial effect such a course is certain to have upon the financial condition of the government, upon the prosperity of the country as a whole, and upon the individual welfare of its citizens. By offering uniformly in every section of the country this attractive and easy means of accumulating and investing money, through these three denominations of treasury savings certificates ($25, $100, $1000), it is hoped to furnish an additional incentive for saving. At the same time, the experience of the last five years indicates that this effort on the part of the government will act also as a stimulus to all legitimate savings activities now being conducted by private enterprise. What form of investment individual savings are to take is not of very great moment; but it is of vital consequence that the practice of accumulating savings becomes habitual to the people of the United States. Girls paint their faces and some of the young dudes of village are varnishing their hair.
