SANTA FE THRILLS PRODUCERS OF OIL With Oil Operators Santa Fe Springs furnished local oildom with a real thrill when the General Petroleum brought in Springs 1, a 2200 barrel well, at 3911. This new well proves up about a mile of new territory in the south side of the field and puts about 50 properties on which there were already rigs up and drilling in the proven area. The advent of the G. P.'s third producer raises its daily output to better than 1000 barrels. Santa Fe No. 1 recently brought in a 4050 bbl well has gone up to 4300, and No. 3 a nice well (two weeks ago) at 3600 has increased its production to 3709. Ten thousand barrels of oil from 3 wells is a record for any one field in Southern California. The Petroleum Midway Co.'s Fox No. 1 has gradually increased its production until now it is a very creditable well. Coming in at a depth of 3555 the well made a little oil, sand and gas. The production picked up however as the well cleaned and now Fox No. 1 is listed at 1200 barrels. The P. M.'s Standice lodge to shut the water at 3540 and has been re-cemented. As yet the extreme west and north side of the Santa Fe Springs field is in doubt. The Union's Flood No. 1 is 4300 and not showing any signs of oil. On the Meyer lase the extreme eastern side of the field the Union has No. 4 on production making about 200 bbls. Meyer 4 was completed at 4516 and is producing 35 gravity oil. The quality of the oil makes up for the quantity. In the Puente Hills district interest was increased by the entrance of the Mascot Oil Company into the field. The Mascot has leased the Standion property adjoining the Bardeen Oil Company and is making preparations to start drilling. Passing below the 4000 foot mark, the Chino-Corona United Oil Co. claims to be finding excellent showings of light oil in a coarse sand. The Mahala Oil Co.'s discovery well is now deepening and making hole at 4100 feet and is showing up nicely. No. 2 down 2800 is checking up about 800 feet high. ORE SHIPMENTS INCREASE Ore shipments from iron mines in Minnesota this year will approximate nearly 25,000,000 tons more than in 1921. This means an increase of over $6,000,000 in royalties to the state, according to estimates by R. P. Chase, state auditor. The state's mineral land office at Hibbing reports greatly improved business in mining operations in the Lake Superior district and it is estimated that shipments this season will reach 45,000,000 tons against 23,000,000 tons forwarded in 1921 from this district. Y BOYS CAMP FROM JUNE 30 TO JULY 10 Hurrah! Camping time is now again. Wouldn't you like to get out in the open and just stretch? To live out in God's great out-of-doors; to hike in the hills, swim in the Pacific and eat—Oh, Boy!—to eat when you are so hungry you can't wait until the bugler lets looow with mess call. To sit at camp-fires with the songs, stunts, stories and talks, and then to slip between the blankets for a nine hours' sleep that brings you out in the morning feeling like a "million." Camp Wilkie, 1922—the Annual Summer Outing of the Y. M. C. A., offers you all of this and more. From June 30 to July 10, the "Y" boys or Orange county go into Camp on the same site where their big brothers camped years ago. White's landing, Catalina Island, is situated just around the point from Moondstone Beach; is ideal in arrangement for a boy's camp. The Pasadena Y. M. C. A., under terms of lease, are opening the Camp for the entire summer, with new equipment throughout. The program: Plenty of wholesome activity balanced as to physical, mental, social and religious values and planned to carry out the primary aim of the camp, that of building character. The daily program is as follows: 6:15—Reveille; Setting-up exercise; Morning Dip; Flag Raising. 7:00—Breakfast.

The Mahala Oil Co.'s discovery well is now deepening and making hole at 4100 feet and is showing up nicely. No. 2 down 2800 is checking up about 800 feet higher on the structure and looks good for production now at 3200 feet. Over in the Irvine Hills, east of Newport, the work of the Wucherer-Gray and W. A. G. Petroleum Company continues to attract attention. Wucherer-Gray No. 1 is now 4150 feet deep and is drilling in a sandy blue shale that carries a little gas. The W. A. G. shows 3500 feet of hole and hard sandstone formation. Production in the Irvine Hills district is beginning to look like a deep well proposition. The Inglewood field is not to be passed up for a while yet. Kitselman, the man who developed extensively at Hawthorne without success, is now drilling a second well that is known as Playa Del Rey No. 2. Kitselman also has a well rigging up on the Badger property. The Magenbier-Mille Syndicate, another company to enter the field recently, has a test well rigged up for cable tools and will be drilling soon. OVERCOME BY SMOKE; REVIVED BY ORANGES Firemen overcome by smoke and fumes in Kansas City were revived by being fed oranges, according to the Kansas City Star, a clipping from which has reached here. The newspaper gave the story considerable prominence on its first page. "If we have enough fires in Kansas City," says R. H. James, district manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, "perhaps we will discover a new outlet for oranges." Witman, Eyesight specialist. Camp Honors—The Rag System used in camps throughout California, and other states will be the basis for camp honors. The Blue Rag, or first degree, is awarded those boys who, by their all-around achievements, are deemed worthy of that honor by the camp leaders. The Brown Rag, the second, and the Red Rag, the third degree, may be won at succeeding camps. Only one degree is awarded a boy during a season. The general direction of the Camp activities will be in the hands or George S. Chessum, county secretary, while associated with him will be C. E. Morrow of Orange; A. J. Raitt, of Fullerton; T. P.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) PEARL OIL (KEROSENE) HEAT AND LIGHT STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) EDISON HAS ENOUGH POWER FOR SEASON Surprising commercial and industrial increases, and residential growth in Los Angeles and So., and Central Calif., will be shown by the report of new electric meter connections, which the So. California Edison Co. is preparing, to cover the first six months of 1922. Installation of new electric connections to factories, stores, ranches and houses, and the record of kilowatt hour consumption, furnishes an accurate measurement of community expansion. In the ten counties, exclusive of the city of Los Angeles, the number of the company's consumers, will have increased approximately 18,000 for the first six months of 1922, according to calculations just completed by Vice President S. M. Kennedy, in charge of business development. Mr. Kennedy's figures are prepared from actual records for January, February, March and April, with conservative estimates of the ratio of increase during May and June, and show the following conclusions as of July 1st, 1922. The business of the company within the city of Los Angeles, now at wholesale, shows a seven and one-half percent increase, totalling 12,184,035 kilowatt hours more than the sales for the same period in 1921. The total increase of kilowatt hours sold by the company in Los Angeles and its outside territory, will be 25,034,278, or an increase of seven per cent. During the first six months of this year, the increased demand on the Edison system will show a total gain in the company's connected load of 57,934 horsepower. Actual figures for the months of January, February, March and April show an increase of 13,072 horsepower for lighting; 6,306 horsepower for agriculture; in the oil industry 1,971 horsepower; for manufacturing purposes 2,419 horsepower; for electric railways 6,979 horsepower; and for miscellaneous purposes 9,304 horsepower. During the same period, the mining industry showed a decrease of 1,510 horsepower which is the only business that has Falkenstein’s Kin For Thursday at Every day more people are becoming acquainted with sents.

During the same period, the mining industry showed a decrease of 1,510 horsepower which is the only business that has not gone ahead. Carrying out the agricultural estimates for May and June, show an increase of 9,000 horsepower used for irrigating ranch land which according to the basis of horsepower per acre for irrigation purposes demonstrates that something like 10,000 acres of new agricultural land have been brought into cultivation under the Edison lines and by the use of electricity. Mr. Kennedy, in calling attention to the enormous increase in consumption as indicated by his figures and estimates, says: "Our reserve capacity is sufficient to carry us well through the months of July, August and September and into October, when the first rains may be expected and through the winter months when our pumping load drops off. In July of next year, we will bring in a new water power plant in our San Joaquin River-Big Creek development project which will deliver 100,000 horsepower of new electric energy in time to meet the irrigation and other demands for the summer season of 1923. Our development program is worked out for a number of years ahead, and new plants will be brought into service to meet the growing requirements which we have every reason to believe will continue in the same proportion as shown by the record for the first six months this year."
