SAN MARTENAS OIL WELL 1000 BARRELS With Oil Operators While not coming up to expectations and previous performances the San Martenas Oil company's Booth No. 1 is a good well at 1000 barrels. Surprise for the east side or the Sig-Two months ago this well sprung a natural Hill field by coming in at 1,500 barrels. Water broke in a few days later and since the well has not shown anything like its former self. The Booth well at 3600 is one of the deepest producers in the field. The San Martenas Oil Co. is one of the first of the small companies on the hill to make good. Wm. Kammerer has been the guiding genius directing the company's development work from the start and to him is given the credit for the great success achieved. There is one man operating at Signal Hill who deserves the backing and support of every oil operator in the field. That man is Jack McKeon. McKeon has stuck by the Oceanic and faced every difficulty and defeat the oil man can think of. And he still sticks to his company and his undertaking. Oceanic No. 1 has been ready to bring in a half a dozen times when this, that, and the other happened. Hard luck has "dogged" the well for two months. The latest kind act of fate was to have the water break in thru the six-inch just as the well was being balled down to put on production. Efforts are now being made to pull the casing and re-cement. Oceanic as has been said is located in the shadow of the Shell and will make one of Long Beach's big producers when completed. Jack McKeon will stay with it and complete it. The Pacific Petroleum Corp. (E. J. Miley) is getting ready to resume drilling on two wells formerly known as the Petitfells Syndicate and E. J. Miley Zemino No. 1. The Miley well quit drilling at 3900 feet six months ago. Production is scheduled to be reached at 4200 feet on the Zemino. The Petroleum Midway is now the second largest developing company at Long Beach. In addition to the six wells drilling the Petroleum Midway has located two more. The new wells are located on the west side of the field and are on the Perrin and Absolves Roma's Crew From Blame NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 23. The army board of inquiry, now investigating the cause of the Roma disaster, will completely absolve the dirigible's officers and crew from all blame for the catastrophe. It was learned authoritatively today. MOTORS DAMAGED IN TWO COLLISIONS A collision occurred yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock at the corner of Placentia-rd. and Center-st. when a car driven by Percy Squire, of Anaheim, and another car driven by J. A. Callan smashed together. Both cars were damaged. No one was hurt. Another accident was reported to the police this morning, a collision at the intersection of Helena-st. and Broadway. A truck driven by W.M. Frazee was smashed into by another truck driven by Fred Franklin. No one was reported injured. MOVED HOUSE BUT OWNER FINDS IT S. Diaro hailed Antonio Abundez before Judge Howard this morning, charging him with having moved a house at the sugar factory off his property without his permission. The house belonged to the defendant. Since the defendant had already gotten the house, and the complainant still has his land, the Judge dismissed the case with instructions to the defendant to keep off the property. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23. Allists of the county hospital today observed William Wendt, millionaire foundryman of Buffalo, N.Y., arrested here on an insanity warrant and placed in the psychopathic ward of the county hospital. Wendt's arrest came after the man had succeeded in eluding the vigilance of private detectives for several hours. He was taken into custody on a Southern Pacific train en route to El Paso and returned to this city. tically means a new field for the M'KEON DRILL PLANS With Olio The McKeon Drill on an extensive drill includes wells at Beach and Signa ton Beach McKeon handling the devil Rio Bravo Syndicate the Ta bert, and the U No. 1 located so Shale.

Production is scheduled to be reached at 4200 feet on the Zemino. The Petroleum Midway is now the second largest developing company at Long Beach. In addition to the six wells drilling the Petroleum Midway has located two more. The new wells are located on the west side of the field and are on the Perrin and Ryder properties. The field development work under the direct supervision of T. J. Crumpton is making enviro progress. The Petroleum Midway entered the Long Beach field only about three months ago. The Standard Oil Co. will be in a position soon to enlighten the operators on deep drilling at Long Beach. The Standard has four wells close to 4000 feet. Torrance No. 1 is 4495 and is held up with a fishing job for casing. The next big producer on the west side will probably be the Shell Co.'s Cherry Hill No. 1. Drilling at 2700 feet this well is in the oil sand and showing up very strong. Goddard No. 1 completed at 2650 is swabbing and looks like a four or five hundred barrel well. The famous Nessa No. 1 is now in the producing list. The well is making great quantities of gas and a little oil. Huntington Beach is on the eve of one of the most important developments the field has experienced. The importance of the development work now underway and under the supervision of the Rhoads Oil Co. can hardly be measured.

He was taken into custody on a Southern Pacific train en route to El Paso and returned to this city. Itically means a new field for the south west side. Rhoads No. 1 now drilling at 2800 feet is showing what looks very much like the Bolsa sand. Showings of oil and gas are of the most encouraging nature. The Rhoads Oil Co. has made a wonderful record from the start at Huntington Beach, and the discovery of the deep sand seems to be right in line with this company's success. Rhoads No. 2 at 450 barrels continues to be the banner producer for the southwest section of the field. The Pacific Petroleum Corp.'s No. 3 is now the second largest producer at Huntington Beach. This great well completed at 2745 came in a 300 barrel well, and in a week run the figure up to 1200 barrels. The Petroleum Midway came in for 300 barrels of the week's new production at Huntington Beach, Smythe No. 1 is also a completed project. This well at 3475 looks like a 300 barrel producer. The Argonaut Oil Co. now has its third producer. The Federal Drilling Co. completed Turley No. 2 for the Argonaut and the new well is making 200 barrels.

At Huntington Beach McKeon in addition to handling the development work for the Rio Bravo will drill the Moore Syndicate the Talbert Oil Co's Hulbert, and the Unity Oil Company's No. 1 located south of the Blue Shale. At Signal Hill the McKeon Drilling Company is working on the Oceanic and the Tehmescal. E. J. Miley's Pacific Peroleum Corporation continues to push out at Huntington Beach. In addition to the properties and holdings of the Petifells Syndicate recently taken over the Milley Corporation has closed a deal for the Fidelity property and holdings. Miley is one of the progressive operators in the field and will build up a big organization in the Pacific Petroleum Corporation. The Rhoads Oil Company got what it was looking for in the deepening of No. 1. At 2745 a nice sand having a close resemblance to the famous Bolsa sand was struck and the showing was good enough to discontinue drilling and set a string of 8½. There is reason to believe that the Standard Oil Company will develop a good producer on the Thompson property. Drilling at 3500 feet the formation shows a nice brown shale and carries considerable oil. The Union Oil Company has Newlands No. 2 ready to go on production. Newlands No. 2 was completed at 3470 and looks like it will make a commercial producer. It will be remembered that Newlands No. 1 drilled to 5000 feet was the first dry hole drilled at Huntington Beach. Hill Community No. 1 at 4000 feet recovered from a rather bad fishing job and resumed drilling. Copeland No. 1 deepened to 3145 is drilling out the cement, and Copeland No. 2 at 3600 feet is being prepared for production. The Standard is about at the limit set for the test well at Garden Grove. Drilling is now close to 5500 feet. The original intention was to carry this wild cat to 5500. To date little or no showings that would indicate oil have been found. Garden EVANGELIST U. E. HARDING Before He was Converted EVANGELIST TELLS OF HIS CONVERSION "Man does not realize the grave danger before him when he rejects light from God's word," said Evangelist U. E. Harding last night at the Grand theatre, in his sermon on "Rejected Light." The text was taken from John 12:35. "Yet a little while ye have the light." "We have light by God's word. Every man is held accountable for the light he gets from God's word. He is also held accountable if he does not read the Bible. We are going to be judged by the way we play with God's word. Every day people are turning from the great central truths of the Bible, I say, walk in the light of the Bible if you want to get to heaven. In the vegetable kingdom everything turns and creeps toward the light. Just so the Christian heart longs for more light. It is a dangerous thing to play CONTINUE ACTION OVER COMMISSION The civil suit of L. J. Wester and Geo. W. Young of La Crabra vs. B. E. Pinson and H. D. Thurber of Fullerton, real estate firms, over a reality commission which the plaintiffs alleged they did not receive, was continued today in Superior Court owing to illness of some of the counsel. The suit grew out of the purchase of the citrus and oil land ranch of J. J. Lilley at Richfield, of which L. J. Wester was one of the buyers. The defendants received, it was alleged, $1,000 as commission, another party, R. O. Godson, $500, while an additional $1,000 went to a source unknown to the plaintiffs. The defendants claimed that the ranch, bought at $27,500 instead of the $25,000 originally mentioned was sold after an option had been obtained for the higher amount and that no commission was due. AMERICA'S FIRE LOSSES DOUBLE NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-America apparently grows more careless every year. Fire losses in 1921 were nearly twice as large as in 1916. Our national bonfire last year cost more than half a billion dollars and took 15,000 lives, most of the victims being women and children. "Carelessness and ignorance are chiefly to blame," says W. E. Mallalieu, general manager of the national board of fire underwriters. Statistics just issued by the board show a total loss of the latest five-year-period of $1,672,722,677 — a sum that would have built enough $5,000 dwellings to house 1,672,720 people. drilled to 5000 feet was the first dry hole drilled at Huntington Beach. Hill Community No. 1 at 4000 feet recovered from a rather bad fishing job and resumed drilling. Copeland No. 1 deepened to 3145 is drilling out the cement, and Copeland No. 2 at 3600 feet is being prepared for production. The Standard is about at the limit set for the test well at Garden Grove. Drilling is now close to 5500 feet. The original intention was to carry this wild cat to 5500. To date little or no showings that would indicate oil have been found. Garden Grove is indebted to the Standard Oil Company for drilling the test well and testing the possibilities of a field. The Standard has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars that individuals and small companies would have probably spent. The Clark Oil Company is making strong efforts to get a producer out of its deep test well on the Wetzel property. Drilled to 4647 the well has been on the pump ten days now and has not made any oil to speak of. Along with the water a little oil comes from time to time. The outlook for a commercial producer does not look very good. The Chansler-Canfield Midway's Bradford No. 2 drilling at 4460 is showing a little gas, the only encouragement the well has had. The Standard Oil Company's deep well Kellogg No. 2 is now at 4765, is drilling in sand but showing very little oil. Aside from the Kraemer lease the Standard has had very little success with deep wells. The Ridge Oil Company at 4660 met with a reverse. A collar gave way in the 4½ string and allowed 4500 feet of pipe to drop. It was found necessary to shoot off this string at 4475 and sidetrack the remainder. The Ridge expected to strike the "pay" at 4700. OPERATED BY KNEE A jack operated by a man's knee has been invented to help move heavy objects upstairs. FIND MANY METALS In addition to coal and iron seventeen metals have been found in Spitzbergen by British interests. "We have light by God's word. Every man is held accountable for the light he gets from God's word. He is also held accountable if he does not read the Bible. We are going to be judged by the way we play with God's word. Every day people are turning from the great central truths of the Bible, I say, walk in the light of the Bible if you want to get to heaven. In the vegetable kingdom everything turns and creeps toward the light. Just so the Christian heart longs for more light. "It is a dangerous thing to play with light. He that promised to come in when you opened the door of your heart, has not promised to return when you unkindly turn Him away." If the light that is within the becometh darkness, how great is that darkness." "Up from the Hills of Indiana," will be the subject of Evangelist Harding's most interesting sermons and it has attracted the attention of thousands of people. Tonight the sermon will be on "The Great Central Truth of the Bible." AMERICA'S FUTURE OIL RESOURCES Although it is estimated that at the present rate of production the oil fields of the United States would be exhausted in about twenty years, these figures do not indicate that the country's petroleum resources will come to an end within that period, according to the National Bank of Commerce in New York. The country's wells are likely to show long periods of declining productivity before their final depletion, and the nation's huge deposits of oil shale offer enormous supplies as soon as it becomes economical to use them, the bank points out in its magazine, Commerce Monthly, for February.
