Some of the principal producing companies in the state, as well as smaller concerns operating in the Buena Park and Santa Fe Springs fields, are bidding for leases. One rancher received an offer of $35 per acre as a cash bonus for an option, with $5 to $10 per acre per month rent and a one-sixth royalty. Offers of $5 to $10 are common throughout the vicinity, with drilling promised within eighteen months. Among the companies known to be interested is the Union Oil Co. of California. The Standard is more than suspected of having representatives on the ground, also, as well as the General Petroleum Company. Representatives of two companies who would not give their names were on the scene Sunday. The Coalinga-Mohawk Company, which now is drilling at Santa Fe Springs, and has wells at Taft and Coalinga, is among the smaller companies that are trying to obtain leases. The new field, if it proves up, lies about half way between Anaheim and Buena Park. The nearest producing well, however, is at present on the Standard-Murphy lease six miles distant as the crow flies. Brookhurst lies in practically a straight line between the Standard-Murphy and Huntington Beach, and the theory of geologists is that there are two so-called waves, of oil between the foothills and the foothill street.
