SIGNAL HILL GETS 7 WELLS IN 7 DAYS By Oil Operators. Seven new wells put on production at Long Beach the last seven days added 20,000 barrels. A month ago it was thought that the peak of production had been reached at Long Beach, but now the condition has changed radically. The northwest section of the field has acquired the habit of ushering in three and four thousand barrel wells, and the limit of the productive area does not seem to have been marked by any means as yet. Keck Syndicate 4 headed the list of new producers with a well at No. 1 that started off at 5000 barrels. The big Keck Syndicate well was completed at a little over 3800 feet, and is flowing thru a 4½ oil string. The Acme Oil Co. another of the "Blue Tank" Vern Dumas organizations, came thru with a 1500-barrel well on the Danneron property. Vern Dumas had a hard time getting people interested in the nothwest side of the field and fought a great battle getting his companies financed and "over." The Dumas companies are now making good one by one, and half of his organizations now have paying productions. Joseph Dabney, one of the pioneer operators of the Long Beach district, was credited with a 2800-barrel well when he put his No. 5 on production. Mr. Dabney has developed a nice production for his syndicate in less than a year and his work is pointed to with some pride. A. T. Jergins, the man who is reducing the tax rate of Long Beach so fast that everybody is coming West to locate in the Crown City, added another 5000 barrel well to the field's output. Jergins Trust No. 2 represents a Federal Drilling Co. completion at 3897 and almost a 1000 feet of oil sand was drilled thru before putting the well on production. Judging from the big showing the well made on initial production there is every reason to believe the well will increase its output and make a six or seven thousand barrel well. Shell Co. completions for the week at Long Beach netted 6500 barrels. The Shell Co.'s big well is Pickler. Speeiling toward Los Angeles on a fast mall train a -35,000,000 car of income tax blanks en route from Washington will reach Collector of Internal Revenue Rex Goodcell this week. Orders were placed with the Treasury Department by Collector Goodcell for 1,000,000 blanks on which So. Calif. will make 1922 income tax returns. This order is just double that turned in last year. It is estimated that the million income blanks will bring $35,000,000 into Uncle Sam's Treasury in 1923. Collector Goodcell said yesterday that the number of separate returns filed in 1922 was 190,930 as against 156,531 filed in 1921. He estimates that the 1923 returns will show a 26 per cent increase or 38,186, making a total filling for 1923 of 229,116 returns. Figured on a basis of one return filed by every eighth person this would indicate an increase in population of 305,488 for the So. Calif district. Returns covering 1922 must be filed between Jan. 1 and March 15. Notice will be given by Collector Goodcell as to when the banks will be ready for distribution. On a basis of 229,116 returns for 1923 the Los Angeles district will move several steps up the ladder and rank with the big Internal Revenue districts of the East as a producer of federal revenue. It is predicted by Collector Goodcell that the So. Calif. increase in income returns filed in 1923 will not be equaled by any other district in the United States. Every indication points to a record-breaking year, he declared. G. & L. LEASE G. & L. LEASE, Jan. 9.—(Spl.)—Mrs. Heath Hanmore, sister-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Hanmore arrived here late Sunday evening from Buffalo New York to make this her home. Her husband, Mr. Heath Hanmore is expected to come in about Locate in the Crown City, added another 5000 barrel well to the field's output. Jergins Trust No. 2 represents a Federal Drilling Co. completion at 3897 and almost a 1000 feet of oil sand was drilled thru before putting the well on production. Judging from the big showing the well made on initial production there is every reason to believe the well will increase its output and make a six or seven thousand barrel well. Shell Co. completions for the week at Long Beach netted 6500 barrels. The Shell Co.'s big well is Pickler No. 4 a completion at 4200 feet making 4000 barrels. On the Shaver lease the Shell Co. finished No. 1 at 4270 and realized a 2500 barrel producer. In addition to the two new wells just put on production the Shell Co. has three more about ready, all of which will make big producers. The United Oil Co. redrilled and deepened its oJnes No. 1 and put it back on production a 2500 barrel well. The oJnes well was redrilled to 4125 feet. The Petroleum Midway's Fields No. 1 the well that really opened up the northwest side of the field failed to make a satisfactory producer at 3560 and is drilling ahead. The Petroleum Midway enjoys the distinction of being the second largest producer in the Long Beach field. The company's big well Ryder No. 1 is making its 4800 barrels with clock, work regularity and is one of the most consistent producers the Long Beach field has yielded. Drilling with hole in good condition at 6700 feet is what the Standard Oil Co. has accomplished at Torrance Estate No. 1. The well becomes a record for So. Calfif. deep drilling and will be a very conclusive proof of the existence of oil in the intervening territory between Huntington Beach and Signal iHill. Drilling a hole a mile and a quarter deep with the rotary is a rare accomplishment and the Standard Oil Company has already made a rotary record that would be difficult to surpass.
