The field's well average has gone over 400 barrels, and some of the production is running as high as 31 gravity. The Amalgamated Oil Co. started the big production campaign at Huntington by bringing in a 2000-barrel well at Fowler No. 5. The Amalgamated's new producer is another deep success, being completed at 4600 feet. On the Pearce property the Amalgamated has what looks like another world record well. The Pearce well was finished at 4942 the same depth as Miley-Kock No. 19 the world's greatest deep producer, and the well looks equally good. The Catalina View Oil Co. one of the Jameson group was completed at 4440 and started off at a little better than a 1000 barrel. It is understood that the Catalina well is a gift to the employees of the Jameson Oil Company Mr. Jameson is one of Southern California's most successful operators and it seems he willing to share his success with those who helped him make it. The fact that Huntington Central No. 2 is now a producer will be glad news for a lot of people all over So Calif. This well has had perhaps one of the most checkered careers of any in the field and has at last come into commercial production. The well has changed management several times, but was lucky recently to fall into the heads of one Ben E. Lamb an oil operator of 25 years' experience in a half dozen or more of the leading fields both in the east and the west. Mr. Lamb took the Huntington Central well over on a contract to put it on production for 30 per cent of the production. Mr. Lamb succeeded in shutting the water off, and the well is making a 150 barrels of 22 gravity oil free from sand or water. One of the most talked of completions at Huntington Beach for week is the Shell Co.'s Ashton 4A. This new producer was redrilled and put on production at a depth of 4924 feet and came in a 2500 bbl. well. The Ashton lease is one of the most famous in the field as it was on this property that the Shell Company SANTA FE SPRINGS RELIEVES ANXIETY With Oil Operators While Santa Fe Springs did not bring in any big gushers, the last week netted two nice wells for the field, and there were other developments that were more important than increasing the production. Anxiety about the west side of the field has been relieved considerably by the finding of the Meyer sand in the Elliott Petroleum Co.'s No. 1. At 12:20 showings were noted that puts the Elliott well in the clear for Meyer sand production. On the south side of the field a sand has been found at a depth deeper than the Meyer sand and the discovery may be the salvation of the extreme southern section. The discovery of the deep sand is being kept in great secrecy and the details will probably not be disclosed for some time, not until the company making the discovery has secured all the lands it wishes, and is ready to make the showing public. In connection with the development of the south side of Santa Fe Springs the Hamilton 4 well made the field and it is not generally known that the name of the man who had faith in Hamilton 4 and was really responsible for the well coming into production has never been mentioned. That man is Vernon M. King. Mr. King has been doing the field geological work for the McKeon Drilling Co. and it was on his strong recommendations and earnest persuasion that the McKeon Drilling Co. kept on and finished the well. At one time the McKeon Drilling Co. had moved a part of the equipment away and was preparing to abandon the well. Mr. King begged that the equipment be replaced and the drilling continue another 100 feet. King won his point, proved his assertion, and Hamilton 4, a 200-barrel well, became a realization. The Dolke-Thomas Syndicate is making some splendid progress on its Pullerton well. It will be remembered that the Federal Drilling Co. drilled two holes for the Dolke-Thomas neither one getting below 2200 feet. The Dolke-Thomas took the well over to drill as a private venture and now has some 2500 feet of hole. Mr. Lamb took the Huntington Central well over on a contract to put it on production for 30 per cent of the production. Mr. Lamb succeeded in shutting the water off, and the well is making a 150 barrels of 22 gravity oil free from sand or water. One of the most talked of completions at Huntington Beach for week is the Shell Co.'s Ashton 4A. This new producer was redrilled and put on production at a depth of 4924 feet and came in a 2500 bbl. well. The Ashton lease is one of the most famous in the field as it was on this property that the Shell Company brought in the first big well of any importance in the northeast section of the field. The Shell Company's work in developing deep production on the Ashton lease is one of the most notable achievements of the new year and puts a new and particular high value on this section of Huntington Beach. A year ago it is understood property could have been bought for 350 dollars an acre, the same property is now being refused at seven and eight thousand an acre. The Standard Oil Co. came in for a share of the production honors at Huntington Beach last week when the biggest well the beach field has yet produced was completed by the Standard on the B 14 lease at 4448. This well is now rated at 4100 barrels and producing consistently. The Standard's second producer resulted in a 1750 barrel well at Huntington B-12, and was completed at 4580 feet. Drilling on the Talbert well now one of the deepest test wells at Huntington is nearing 5000 feet. Pacific 1A at a little over 3900 feet has the car marks of a producer. The Texas Holding Co. has redrilled and deepened its No. 1 to 4500 feet and got for this work a 2000 barrel well. The big producer is making 29 gravity oil and will undoubtedly be one of the long lived producers of Huhtington Beach. GARDEN GROVE GARDEN GROVE, Jan. 10.—(Spl.)—G. I. Middlebrook and family spent Tuesday at the home of friends in Los Angeles.

The Home Missionary Society of the M.E. church held their regular monthly meeting at the church parlor Wednesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Dale of Whitier and Mr. and Mrs. R. Rogers the well. Mr. King begged that the equipment be replaced and the drilling continue another 100 feet. King won his point, proved his assertion, and Hamilton 4, a 200-barrel well became a realization. The Dolke-Thomas Syndicate is making some splendid progress on its Fullerton well. It will be remembered that the Federal Drilling Co. drilled two holes for the Dolke-Thomas neither one getting below 2200 feet. The Dolke-Thomas took the well over to drill as a private venture and now has some 2500 feet of hole. Some of the hardest drilling that has ever been experienced in the Brea-Fullerton field is being found now at 2500, two and three feet a day is the best the drill can make. At 4960 the Pomona Oil Co. is getting some showings that may make an oil well. The formation shows a hard coarse sand that carries oil colors and considerable gas. The Pomona well has been in the course of drilling for almost three years and if any company is entitled to a producer the Pomona Oil Company is. At La Mirada the Nevada-Ventura Co. is getting some splendid oil showings at 3600 and on. On showing at 3628-32 revealed four feet of oil sand. The Nevada-Ventura well is being drilled by the McKeon-Drilling Co. a company that has earned a reputation for difficult completions. In the Puente Hills the Chino-Corona United Oil Co.is making preparations to drill to 4600 feet before considering any ideas of abandonment. At 4455 the formation has been showing a hard grey sand that looks like a water sand but carries no water. In the last couple of weeks there has been a noticeable revival of activity in the San Joaquin Hills district. A number of wells that have been standing suspended or idle have resumed drilling. The companies who have resumed operations are the H. T., & K. Syndicate, the La Guna Oil Ass'n, and the Nu-Santa Oil Association. It is hot that the recent good showings the Wucherer-Gray Oil Co.has had in its No. 2 may be responsible for the revival of activity.
