G. P. MAKES FAST TIME IN DRILLING Santa Fe Springs and Gen. Pet. are synonymous. The big wells, the fast drilling time, the unparalleled success in bringing in the greatest producers in So. Calif. has made oil history at Santa Fe Springs in a few short months by the General Petroleum. The man who directed the work of the big wells, the drilling in record time, the planning ahead so that the General Petroleum could take care of the most gigantic development program ever undertaken is none other than David Cruthers. Since the opening of the year 17 wells have been drilled, the completions number 6 wells whose aggregate output is better than sixteen thousand barrels. After all it seems the success of a big oil company lies in the hands of a man who understands the business commands the respect of his men, maintaining an organization that moves in unison for the best interests of the company. "Dave" Cruthers is the embodiment of these qualifications and to him the wonderful success of the General Petroleum at Santa Fe Spgs. can be attributed in a large measure. The Amalgamated Oil Co. believes that Butterworth No. 3 can be made to duplicate the Standard's Brownrigg-Kellar and will redrill and deepen the well. Butterworth No. 3 at 4468 came in a 400 barrel well but failed to stand up to this figure for more than a few weeks. Three companies at Santa Fe Springs will move their rigs and start over again. The Bell View Oil Company has moved and is about ready to spud in a new hole. The B. G. T. Oil company was compelled to sacrifice about 3740 feet of hole move over and start a new one. The third concern the P. M. & B. Syndicate had the casing collapse at 1900 and moved to a new location. The move hits the B. G. T. Oil company probably harder than any of the others. This company had 3740 feet drilled, much of this hole was in hard digging, and it seems that this company's chances for a well are not good short of 4200 feet. The Central drilling at 4382 struck a nice showing of oil and stopped drilling to set nine feet far. BEGIN WORK ON APARTMENT HOUSES NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Building of huge apartment houses in the Borough of Queens, rooms in which are to rent for $9.00 weekly, began in earnest today. Haley Fiske, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., which is back of the project, turned over the first spadeful of earth. It is planned by the Metropolatin Insurance Co., to spend $100,000,000. The showing the Coalinga-Mohawk got at 4258 justified the quitting of drilling and the setting of a string of pipe. Clune Doyle, and the Pacific Petroleum both got sufficient oil showings at 2500 to justify the stopping of drilling to set the water strings. Geo. F. Getty will probably be the Springs next independent producer. Nordstram No. 1 at 3800 is showing lots of oil and gass and bids fair to duplicate the big producer adjoining. The General Petroleum's Santa Fe 3 a 2700 barrel well. Twin Bells surprised its owners with an increase of almost 400 barrels. The well came in three weeks ago at 725 barrels. The production has increased to 1120 barrels. The gravity of the production is close to 28, and the oil is coming free from sand or water. The Shell Co. added its third producer by bringing in G. H. N. No. 3 a 1450 barrel well at 3843 feet. No. 1 producing better than 2200 continues to be the Shell's best well. No. 2 is making 1600 barrels. Deepening Coix 1 to 3781 the Petroleum Midway got an excellent oil sand, a sand that will put the Coix well in the Bell class. No. 1 Standee started producing at 700 barrel at a depth of 3742 and is making 28.5 gravity oil. The Universal Oil Co.'s initial well at Santa Fe Springs may be a little short on production, but the well is making up on quality. Universal No. 1 completed at 3759 is making 500 barrels of 30 gravity oil. The Union Oil scored again on the Bell lease by bringing in No. 5 a 2200 barrel well at 3900 feet.

"GIFTS If it's From CHANGE WORLD OIL MONOPOLY WASHINGTON, Aug. 18!—Ramifications of an alleged gigantic oil monopoly, extending throughout the world, will be probed by the senate committee investigating high gasoline prices, Senator Smith of South Carolina, ranking Democrat, declared today. Charges have been brought before members of the committee that three monopolistic companies, with extensive holdings in America, Mexico and Europe had acquired, directly or indirectly, control of about three-fifths of the world's crude oil supply, according to Smith. With these vast holdings, the companies through an alleged interlocking arrangement, are liable to fix arbitrarily the price of gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil and all petroleum products, it was said. BOOST HUNTINGTON BEACH PRODUCTION With Oil Operators Huntington Beach new production got its biggest boost at the hands of the Amalgamated Oil Company during the past week. Huntington No. 7 completed in the Main street district of the field at 2785 went on at 250 barrels. Miley-Keck 13 completed by the Amalgamated at 3103 proved a pleasant surprise by coming in a 450 barrel well. Globe Petroleum tickled its stockholders by bringing in a 1100 barrel well on what is known as the Encyclopedia property. No. 1 was drilled to 4192 and strated off 1100 barrels, 24 gravity oil. The Globe 2-Petroleum company has demonstrated what can be expected from deep wells in the northeastern side of the field. Another deep well in the extreme north eastern side of the Huntington Beach field has made good beyond expectations. The well is the West Seaboard finished recently at 4235 feet. This new producer strated off at 600 barrels and is making 23 gravity oil. PARIS FLOODED WITH FAKE MASTERPIECES PARIS, Aug. 17.—A mysterious hidden studio, which is, in reality a veritable factory for turning out counterfeit masterpieces, is the object of search by prefecture detectives. This factory is somewhere in the Latin quarter. There poor students and starving artists, it is believed, are paid too templing wages for copying the works of great painters, the originals of which would command huge prices. These copies are then sold at auctions either deliberately in place of the original, which may be in a private collection, or as a "newly discovered" work of the master. Discovery of such "art treasures" on the market has led to the belief in the existence of this "masterpiece factory," and to the combining of the Latin quarter by the police in search of it. ISSUE REMAINING STOCK La Habra Domestic Water Co., operating in La Habra, asked permission of the railroad commission today to issue its remaining treasury stock of 340 shares of the par value of $50 per share. The company plans to distribute to its present stockholders 240 shares on account of surplus earnings invested in the plant, and to sell the remaining 100 shares to the public.

Hansen, aged 40, wife of Nels Hansen, railroad foreman, who was mysteriously slain at her home in San Bernardino shortly before midnight, was the victim of an oriental vengeance plot, was indicated today by detectives. In support of this theory of the baffling murder, detectives at the suburban city during the morning took into custody a Chinese known as Wong You. Mrs. Hansen was killed in her home at 11:15 o'clock last night after a terrific struggle. She was shot five times. Each of these shots, according to the police, would have caused instantaneous death.
