Abandonments 3, compared with 7 preceding week. Total to date this year 31; total to same date last year 49. For several months C.C. Julian has been telling his backers that he would make good with a well that would throw a "wicked stream". Julian now has the said well and the wicked stream is 6000 barrels. No. 4 is the big well and was completed at 4618 feet, and is flowing 35 gravity oil. No. 4 is Julian's first well drilled into the Meyer sand and gives an idea of what the southwest side of the field has in store for the operators whose wells are now nearing the Meyer sand. Julian No. 1 redrilled and set a string of 6-1-4 inch pipe at 4283 feet, drilled out and found that a complete water shut-off was not effected, and it will be necessary to re-cement. The Elliott Petroleum company completed a well at 4498 that means more to the extreme west side of the Santa Fe Springs field than any well that has been brought in since the west side development started. The Elliott Petroleum company's 5800 barrel well was completed and brought in under splendid circumstances, the well is flowing through a 6-1-4 inch oil string landed inside an 8-1-4 inch line and is gamated Oil company's big producers all stepped up and increased their production from 500 to 1000 barrels daily. Pearce No. 2, the world record deep well increased its production from 4000 to 4700 barrels. The Amalgamated Oil company added another nice producer that will no doubt develop into a record breaker. The well is Dennison No. 2 and it started off at 100 barrels an hour. Dennison No. 2 represents deep sand development as it was completed at 4880 feet. The Petroleum Midway completed a successful week at Huntington Beach with two new producers. On the Elliott property No. 1 was finished at 4170 feet and started off at 1500 barrels daily. On the Thornton property No. 2A at 4228 feet came in for a thousand barrels. The Selby-Root Oil company has one of the big wells of the northwest section of the eld at Clar kNo. 2. Clark No. 2 completed at 4904 feet was known in the early days of the field as the Venture Oil company No. 2. The Selby-Root well is making 4000 barrels daily of 28 gravity oil. While not much space is devoted to the achievements of the Union Oil company in the local press, the Union is doing great things at Huntington Beach and the company's work is entitled to some mention. What perhaps will develop into Huntington's Beach's greatest producer was completed by the Union Oil company on the Cope land property a few days ago. Copeland No. 11 stopped drilling at 4590 feet and pierced the deep sand for 1371 feet, a depth much larger than any other well at Huntington Beach. The Union Oil company producer started off at 2200 barrels and is increasing steadily. With more oil sand and deeper into the oil bearing formation than any other well in the field. Copeland No.11 has all the advantage of... The Elliott Petroleum company completed a well at 4498 that means more to the extreme west side of the Santa Fe Springs field than any well that has been brought in since the west side development started. The Elliott Petroleum company's 5800 barrel well was completed and brought in under splendid circumstances, the well is flowing through a 6 1-4 inch oil string landed inside an 8 1-4 inch line and is producing a 35.5 gravity oil. The Elliott producer proves up several hundred acres for the Standard Oil company, and 55 acres for the Associated Oil company, besides other acreage for a number of companies. The big west side producer moves the productivity boundary line of the west side out a half a mile from the present production. Al Johnson, field superintendent for the Federal Drilling company, started the Elliott well, looked after the drilling and put on the connections that directed the well's first flow into the tanks, and to him is given the credit of bringing it none of Santa Fe Springs' greatest producers. The Are-Bee Oil syndicate has passed the 4800 foot mark on its Norwalk road test well and while there is not much information being given out on the well, it is understood that there are some showings of importance. The drilling of the Are-Bee test well is being watched with great interest by a score or more operators whose properties and holdings depend on sit-outcome. The General Petroleum company continues to get its share of good things at Santa Fe Springs. Completing Santa Fe Springs No. 85 at 3915 feet and in the Meyer sand, the G, P. brought in a 1900 barrel well producing 32 gravity oil. The Petroleum Midway's great producer continues to be the pride of the Santa Fe Springs field, with a flow of 7000 barrels. The Baldwin well was completed two weeks ago at 4221 feet and is only about 90 feet in the sand. Yet this great well with the drill pipe in the hole and not in the best condition for production, broke all records by starting off at 10,000 barrels. Settling to 7000 barrels the well is flowing very consistently and bids fair to become one of the big long lived wells of the field. Interest in the work of the Standard Oil company at Huntington Beach now centers around a half dozen or more of its deep test wells. Huntington A-12 at 4300 feet is showing strong and will probably be the Standard Oil company's next big well. Huntington F-2, the deepest well drilled in the field stopped at 5010 feet, and has indications sufficient to warrant the prediction of a producer. Farnsworth No. 1 at 4510 feet is ready for a production test. This deep well has had some water troubles that now appear solved. The old Montebello field stands at a crucial point. The field will either resume development soon or development will be practically closed, the situation largely depending upon two wells, the Union Oil company's deep test well on the La Merced lease and the Standard Oil company's deep test well on the Baldwin Hills. The Union Oil company's La Merced well has greatest producer was completed by the Union Oil company on the Cope land property a few days ago. Copeland No. 11 stopped drilling at 4590 feet and pierced the deep sand for 1371 feet, a depth much larger than any other well at Huntington Beach. The Union Oil company producer started off at 2200 barrels and is increasing steadily. With more oil sand and deeper into the oil bearing formation than any other well in the field. Copeland 11 has all the advantage of becoming the greatest well the Huntington Beach field has yet produced and its action on production will be watched with interest. The small operator in the Long Beach west for quick re-syndicate, one of companies that went few months ago, rel producer. The completed at 3900 28 gravity oil under Ed MacAdam rected the Marlboro field work when action at Long Beach. The Hub Oil co., the smaller company that has had splitting up a product completing Ross's feet in the upper company got an Rossman No. 2 company and aggregated 300 barrels daily. The Lone Star ting its first show feet. Up to just now there was just a its outcome. At drilling is now going is very favoring drilled by the Santa Fe Springs field, with a flow of 7000 barrels. The Baldwin well was completed two weeks ago at 4221 feet and is only about 90 feet in the sand. Not this great well with the drill pipe in the hole and not in the best condition for production, broke all records by starting off at 10,000 barrels. Settling to 7000 barrels the well is flowing very consistently and bids fair to become one of the big long lived wells of the field. All predictions have gone awry on where the Standard Oil company's Brownrigg-Keller No. 2 will strike the oil sand. No. 1 became a nice producer at 4762 feet. No. 2 is now drilling at 5225 feet and nothing that looks like oil has been found as yet. Brownrigg Keller No. 2 is but a location way to the north and east from No. 1 and shows how fast and rapid the dip is on the north side of the field. The Union Oil company brought in a nice well on the Howard property, when No. 3 was completed at 3500 feet and flowing 2500 barrels rally. The new Howard producer is making 28 gravity oil. On the Farwell property the Union Oil company has brought in a smaller producer, a 900 barrel well at 3898 feet. The Farwell producer was completed in the Bell sand. Flood No. 1 the Union Oil company's northwest test well stopped drilling at 5265 feet and preparations are being made to abandon the well. For the first time in the history of Huntington Beach development the Standard Oil company has been compelled to release first place production honors. The distinction fell to the Amalgamated Oil company, the past week, whose output totaled better than 40,000 barrels per day.

Range of passed the 4800 foot mark, and drilling continues in grey sand. The Standard Oil company’s well, Baldwin No. 60, is getting close to 4600 feet, where showings of oil and gas makes the outlook favorable. The Shell Oil company played the steller role at Long Beach by returning the field’s discovery well, Alamitos No. 1, to production at 4000 barrels, Alamitos No. 1 a year ago came in at 300 barrels and at that time was regarded as a great well. Now at 4632 feet the well enjoys the distinction of being the deepest well yet completed on the hill. The MacMillan-Davis syndicate has another nice producer that adds a lot of success to their few months of oil operating at Long Beach. MacMillan-Davis No. 2 was completed at 4480 feet and started off with an initial production of 3500 barrels. The M. and D. well is 100 feet deeper than the Shell’s recent completion, Patton-Wilson No. 1, less than a 100 feet away and is producting from the lower sands only. "Dad" Schneider, formerly a division superintendent for the Amalgamated Oil company, is directing the MacMillan-Davis field work and he has scored two of the best wells in the field. No. 2, his latest success, was finished without a fishing job or a delay of any kind. The Bush-Voorhies Oil company has stopped drilling on the Caldwell at 4635 feet, and the general impression is that the well is a dry hole and will be abandoned. While the well has not shown any very favorable indications of oil it will not be abandoned, but will be allowed to stand suspended awaiting further developments. The small operator continues to find the Long Beach feld the best in the west for quick results. The Evans Oil pany, and the Federal has a substantial interest in the property. The Superior Oil company added 3,000 barrels of new production to the Long Beach field when Miller No. 1 was completed at 4360 feet. The Miller property is a portion of the Sandberg Petroleum company’s property that was recently taken over by the Keck Drilling company and the Superior Oil company. The bringing in of this big well will bring a lot of joy and satisfaction to holders of Sandberg Petroleum stocks. INCOME TAX NOTES In an appeal to taxpayers to file their income returns early, issued by Collector of Internal Revenue Goodcell, it was pointed out that last March three thousand taxpayers who failed to file on time were penalized $5 each, and five per cent added to the tax due. In addition to this, more than 15,000 incorrect returns were filed, of which fully 80 per cent were returns hastily prepared and filed at the last minute. These 15,000 eleventh-hour filers were not only required to visit the internal revenue bureau and explain certain items in their returns, but in many cases additional taxes and penalties were imposed. This loss of time and money might have been avoided had the taxpayer filed his return early and not have waited until the eleventh hour to begin its preparation. Collector Goodcell said. Thirty-one thousand income tax returns have been filed to date in the southern California district. This means that almost 200,000 returns must be filed before the final date of filing, March 15. Under a ruling received by Collector Goodcell, an individual may exclude from gross income the dividends or interest received during the calendar year 1923 from a building and loan as- MICHIGAN PICNIC The Michigan association of southern California has been holding picnic reunions for more than twenty years.

MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. 2-22-3t The small operator continues to find the Long Beach field the best in the west for quick results. The Evans Oil syndicate, one of the smallest companies that went into Long Beach a few months ago, now has a 3000 barrel producer. The Evans well was completed at 3900 feet and is flowing 28 gravity oil. The completion was under Ed MacAdams, the man who directed the Marine Oil corporation's field work when it first started operation at Long Beach. The Hub Oil company is another of the smaller companies at Long Beach that has had splendid success in building up a production at Long Beach. Completing Rossman No. 2 at 3384 feet in the upper zone, the Hub Oil company got an 1800 barrel well. Rossman No. 2 is the Hub Oil company and aggregate production of company yard aggregate production of 200 barrels daily. The Lone Star Oil company is getting its first showing of oil at 4010 feet. Up to just recently the well had not shown anything favorable and there was just a little anxiety as to its outcome. At 4145 feet, where the drilling is now going ahead the showing is very favorable. The well is being drilled by the Federal Drilling公司. NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF THE ANAHEIM SUGAR COMPANY.
