BREA CANYON CO. RUSH DEVELOPMENT ON NEW AND OLD The Brea Canyon Oil Company is rushing development work both on new and old property. Well No. 28, recently completed, has settled down to a production of 250 barrels and is making a uniform output. No. 31 is now drilling in the shale at 1730 and is showing enough oil at this comparatively shallow depth to insure a 300-barrel well. No. 32 is a new well marked with a grade. No. 9, an old producer, is to be redrilled and for this purpose work has been completed on a new rig. Columbia Oil Co's Third Attempt The Columbia Oil Co. will make a third attempt to drill its No. 5 on the Orange lease in the Brea field. This well was drilled several years ago, but failed to be made a permanent producer on account of blowing out. The second attempt resulted in a bad fishing job and the loss of the hole. Both holes showed large quantities of oil and a very high gas pressure. A new rig has been completed on the spot where the two attempts were made, and the third attempt will soon be made to bring in this No. 5. The fishing job on No. 7 has extended from weeks into months, and at present time, with the bailer and a string of tools in the hole, added in the drilling of perhaps the most difficult property in the state. Naanjal No. 12 is drilling in brown sand shale at 1600 feet and is making good headway. The Olinda Field The Columbia Oil Company is making development history at Olinda. No. 28 is now drilling at 3850 feet and looks like a big well. No. 31 has been cemented at 2000 feet and standing work on No. 32, a new well is progressing rapidly. The rig for the well has been completed and the drilling preparations are pretty well under way. The production of No. 30 still continues to improve, and the well looks like it will have a settled production of better than 100 barrels. Production on all the Columbias of wells in the Olinda district is holding up very satisfactory. Olinda Wildcat Looking Good At a depth of 2775 feet the Olinda Land Co.'s No. 21, the wildcat well, the far east is drilling in shale and the formation is showing enough oil and gas to give a lively interest in the continued drilling of the hole. The well has been showing some oil for the past 100 feet. No. 19 cleaning out the sediment at 2607 and ill eb drilling ahead in the hole in a few days. West Coast Making Progress The West Coast Oil Company is making some splendid drilling progress at Olinda. The company has three wells drilling two of them as nearing completion, and look like good producers. No. 62 is drilling in the oil sand at 2729. No. 69 out. The second attempt resulted in a bad fishing job and the loss of the hole. Both holes showed large quantities of oil and a very high gas pressure. A new rig has been completed on the spot where the two attempts were made, and the third attempt will soon be made to bring in this No. 5. The fishing job on No. 7 has extended from weeks into months, and at present time, with the baler and a string of tools in the hole, things do not look very promising. The depth of the ill-fated well is 2,630 feet. Fullerton Oil Moving Fast Unusually good time is being made by the Fullerton Oil Company on its No. 13. A hundred feet of hole was made during the past week, a good record for standard tool work. The depth of the hole now registers 2062 and the formation is brown shale. Bastanchury Near Mile Mark The Union Oil Company's Bastanchury No. 6 is drilling at 5115 feet. The well at this great depth is showing only blue shale and the chances for a dry hole are looking better every day. The drill pierced the blue shale at 4400 and this formation has continued without a break to the present depth of 5115. This well is now the deepest well drilling in the state, represents a little over two years' work and an outlay of money of better than a hundred thousand dollars. The condition of the hole is good and it is believed that the drilling will continue to greater depths, testing out the property thoroughly for deep sands. 100-Barrel Well on Naranjal The Union Oil Company announces the completion of Naranjal No. 7. This well, after much hard luck and slow drilling process, has at last been completed to a depth of 3600 feet. The well is on the pump and looks good for 100 barrels. Narnjal No. 8 is standing cemented. No. 10 is making a water test at 2400 and judging from the way the water is coming in, a second cementing will probably be necessary. No. 11 is also testing for water at 2200 and is not showing up very dry. These two wells illustrate some of the difficulties the Union Oil Co. has experienced. West Coast Mining Progress The West Coast Oil Company makes some splendid drilling progress at Olinda. The company has three wells drilling two of them and nearing completion, and look like good producers. No. 62 is drilling in the oil sand at 2729. No. 69 making hole in brown sandy shale at 2351. No. 79 is drilling at 2670, the formation being brown sandy shale. Fullerton Oil's Well Stand The opening up of the Fullerton Oil Company's No. 1 on the Travictory tract is being awaited with great interest. This well has been standing cemented for two weeks at a depth of 1925 feet, and, on account of the excellent showing of oil previous to the cementing, the well is attracting more than passing interest, and we will prove out the eastern boundary of the new field. General Petroleum Setting Boiler The General Petroleum is fast completing preparations for the start of drilling on the Wilson tract in the Kramer field. The rig for the well is up and the setting of boilers are rigging is now being given attention. The General Petroleum will be ready for drilling in a very short time. The location of this company's proper looks promising. Heffron Starts Drilling The Heffron Oil Company spudded in its initial well on the sand was properly east of Placentia and is no drilling. This well is located on property formerly operated by the New Era Oil Company, a defunct concern. Oil experts differ widely on the possible outcome of the well. Some find that it is a foolish venture, while other maintain that the strike extends across the river from the Standard's Kramer. Drilling will tell. If it's from Witman's, it's good.

"Everything Musical, Nothing but Music" Schmidt Music Company 136 W. Center : Anaheim The Orange County Plain Dealer, Anaheim, Calif. PLANS FORMED FOR FINANCING FIRST MUTUAL CO. WORK With plans foremnd for financing preliminary work in the development of a mutual telephone comanyp, the joint committee of the Orange-County Farm Bureau and Associated Chambers of Commerce will meet at Santa Ana next Thursday to put plans under way. The meeting will be held at 2:30 o'clock. President Woodrough of the Farm Bureau has not been letting the grass grow under his feet since he and the secretary of the committee were authorized to delve into the proposition and gather all data that might be of use in guiding the committee. He will have important data to present on Thursday. People from all parts of the county have manifested a deep interest in the project and have assured Woodrough of their readiness to co-operate. Put To Test The promise of co-operation is to be put to the test—the test of putting up real cash. At the meeting of the committee ten men will be selected to volunteer their services in canvassing for 100 men who will make an outright donation of $10 each to pay a man or men to get out into the field to get the signatures of 600 men who will advance $20 for a fund to make Thomas Warren, Stanley Berky, Orval Caliyloway, David Allen, Robert Davis, Amos Robinson, George Jaynes, Cecil Preston and George Hayes.

ROMANCE VALLEY Tuesday and New Fairyland Griffith's latest mance of Happy scene. Just photoplay youn In all the life of Happy Valence is reveal such as has o leys all over their little wobles, their fr their ideals a their love. N fifth has pres tible surprise a daring comp PUT TO TEST The promise of co-operation is to be put to the test—the test of putting up real cash. At the meeting of the committee ten men will be selected to volunteer their services in canvassing for 100 men who will make an outright donation of $10 each to pay a man or men to get out into the field to get the signatures of 600 men who will advance $20 for a fund to make a surveil of the county and gather absolute data upon which to base an application to the railroad commission to inaugurate the system. This will cost between $10,000 and $12,.000, and if the permit is granted and the mutual company is organized, the money will be returned to the subscribers in the way of a refund on their individual expense in connection with the service. If the project fails of approval by the commission or of organization, the $20 subscribed will be lost. Are there 600 men in the county willing to put up $20 and take the chance? That is the question that will determine whether or not they are very deeply interested in securing a mutual system, with free switching through the county. Now is the Time "If the phone users of the county want to help themselves, how is the psychological moment?" said Woodrough today. "The phone situation is very much in the air, with the state and government fighting to determine which is in control." "We don't know whether the Pacific Telephone Company has ever been granted permission to make a raise here, and it is impossible to find out whether or not such action has ever been taken. One telephone plan in authority passes the buck to another, and we have not been able to get anywhere in an effort to find out whether the telephone company is acting with authority of the railroad commission or is just taking a shot' on its own hook. "Money is what counts in this, as well as every other enterprise of any magnitude, and when we start to canvass the county for the 600 men we will know whether the favorable talk has been sincere or whether it has been camouflage." PLEASANT EVENING WILL LOCATE HERE Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Ullrich and two children, of Turtle Lake, N.D., arrived here Saturday to make their permanent home. Mr. Ullrich, who is a brother-in-law of M. E. Beebe, has been connected with the First National bank at Turtle Lake. ABSOLUTE OFFERED BY THE NEW YORK LIFE Amount—$6,000. Agree WHAT I WANT 1. If you Live—It protects your old age.
