TWO MORE JULIAN WELLS IN SHORTLY With Oil Operators C. C. Julian is deu for production in two wells in a few days. The famous No. 1 started to flow a few days ago and for a while was "throwing a wicked stream". They were testing out for water shut off at 4383 6½ when the flow started. Efforts to get the well under control so that a string of tubing could be installed were met with difficulties. No. 4 4 the deep well was passed for a water shut off at 4460 and is drilling ahead in the deep sand at 4485. Both 1 and 4 are looking very good and should do the C. C. Julian Company great credit. E. A. Lamb is bound and determined to get into othe producers column at Santa Fe Springs in spite of all the hard luck and difficulties he has had. Mr. Lamb has made a deal with "Jack" McKeon to put his No. 1 on production. McKeon takes the well over under somewhat discouraging conditions, but this is the kind of jobs the McKeon Drilling Company thrives on. Lamb 1 at 3950 set a string of 8¼ but failed to effect a complete water shut off. The deal with the McKeon Drilling Company is considered a very wise move and Lamb and his associates will have some production soon. Mr. Lamb has subleased a portion of his remaining property to the Coalinga-Mohawk Oil Company and Work has started on the Mohawk well. In order to settle many conflicting reports on the biggest producer of high gravity oil ever brought in in So Calif. or in the West for that matter, the first day's production of the Petroleum Midway's Baldwin No. 1 was 0,400 barrels. The well started off with a rush and a roar and many thought it was doing from 15 to 20 thousand barrels. The well completed itself at 4221, that is, it was at that depth when the gas and oil pressure became so great that it started to blow out. There was no time to install a casing head and production connections. A clamp commonly know as a packing clamp was put on the drill pipe and the great flow FAMOUS MINING TOWN WIDE OPEN LEADVILLE, Colo., Feb. 16—Leadville citizens—that is, some of them—are recovering from the shock of an exposure made by a local newspaper of "night life" in the once famous mining town, known from coast to coast in the early days for its wide-open character. The expose followed a particularly free holiday celebration. Under the heading "Leadville's Night Life Still-Burning Brightly" the newspaper proclaims that the days of '79 are revived in 1923. A reporter visited the various "hell holes" and here are some of the things he described without qualification in the article, with names and places given in every instance: Famous old bars selling drinks openly. Gambling going on in many establishments. Hundred dollar "fines" paid quarterly to authorities for protection. Red light district running wide open. Murder and fighting as in the rough and ready early days. SCIENTIST PLANS TO EXPLORE PACIFIC LONDON, Feb. 16—An expedition of scientists is leaving London in the summer to navigate parts of the Pacific hitherto shunned and explore remote islands. An attempt will be made to trace the track of the recent earthquake that did the huge damage on the Chilean coast. The voyage is being organized by the Scientific Expedition and Research Society, and a schooner of 2000 tons, with an auxiliary oil engine, is being fitted out for the cruise, which is expected to extend over ten months. The number of scientists will be limited to fifty and will include some women. An airplane probably will be carried with the expedition, to enable them to get aerial observations and photographs. Visits to the Canary Islands, Panama and Easter Island are on the schedule.

Foster HOMELESS RUSS IN FLIGHT TO CHINA PEKIN, Feb. 16.—The last of those Russians who stubbornly refused to compromise with sovietism and who hoped for a full return of a scar and the Russian church continue to stream into the larger cities of China. Without hope of immediate betterment and without funds they are for the most part taking refuge in dilapidated Chinese houses, near the Russian orthodox church. INQUEST ON A LEG JERSEY, England, Feb. 16.—Human leg was washed up on the beach. Much excitement. Coronor holds an inquest. Physicians says leg is result of surgical operation at sea. Excitation over. The Union Oil Co. is making preparations to plug the deep test Flood well. Drilled to 5245 this well did not show any oil indications in spite of the fact that the knowing ones claimed that the Unino had a well just was holding it in until it could set all the property it wanted. Poor people who know so little about oil development certainly do expose a lot of ignorance. It is a regular practice of many to abuse the big lompans on a wildcat well. The same criticism is now being directed at the Union Oil Company with reference to its Downey Community well.

The well is a real oil well and does credit to the company that went out into the northwest section of the Long Beach field and did the pioneering a year ago. Cal-Mex No. 2 was completed at 3315 and came in a 1300-barrel producer of 24.5 gravity oil. While making a test of the water shut off at 3316 in the 8½ the well started to flow, and making such a splendid showing it was allowed to continue. It was the Cal-Mex Oil and Refining Company that went out a mile from production a year ago and put up a rig on the Kirkpatrick property. The first well while it did not come in a gusher proved the field, and now this appears to be one of the most productive sections of the field. The Bush-Voorhies Oil Co. is drilling a well on the Cadwell property that is of some interest to the operators and the field lying in the north central section. At 4700 feet the Cadwell is not showing any oil or any very favorable indications and abandonment is being considered. At the Butler-Community the Bush-Voorhies have reached a depth of 4080 feet and is busy determining water conditions. The Fred B. Foster Co.'s No. 37 formerly known as the Californian was given a production try out at 3736 but failed to make much of a showing. It is considered that the well was not deep enough and it is the intention of the Fosters to redrill and deepen at once. No. 38 formerly the Berry well looks like the Fosters first big Long Beach producer. Between 4368 and 4455 this well carries a high grade oil sand and if nothing is found deeper it will be no trouble to come back to this sand and bring in a nice well. The deepening and redrilling of former producing wells is going ahead rapidly in the Long Beach field. Among the well scheduled for redrilling and deepening this week are: the Calmont Oil Co.'s Nos. 2 and 3, the arvestreit-Baker Co.'s and three wells on the Shell Company's holdings, Dobyns 2, 3 and Alamitos 1 and 2. Alamitos I now at 4540 has been drilling in the oil sand for almost a thousand feet and so soon to have the making o a great well. Geo. E. Getty is also doing some redrilling and deepening, two of his wells, Nos. 1 and 2 are up for the deep said. The Hub Oil Co. and the Leonard Interests are due for new production soon. The Hub Oil Company's Rissman No. 2 at 3854 made a production test and showing of 300 barrels at 3355. The Leonard well on the Herwick property started to flow while making a water test at 3215 and had to be "killed" so as to carry it on further into the sand. The Lone Star Oil Co. got its first encouraging showing at 4010 feet. HISTORIC COINS SHOWN IN EXHIBIT PITTSBURG, Pa., Feb. 16—Coins rating as far back as 500, B. C. and having an estimated value of $50,000,000 if they were put on the open market were exhibited here in what was declared to be one of the world's greatest collections of mediums of barter and exchange. The exhibits numbered 30,000 pieces, which were ranged in size from a colpator of Southern India, coined in 1800 and weighing one gram to a Swedish $4 piece minified in 1730, of copper, and 10 inches square and weighing 6½ pounds. The collection was the property of Farrel Zerbe of Tyrone, Pa., and was brought here for historical educational purposes. SHIP CHILD TO EUROPE SOUTHAMPTON, England Feb. 15.—John Wallace, 8, Pittsburgh, arrived here safely with the aid of a big red shipping card bearing her name and address and attached to her coat. She's going to visit an aunt at Brighton. RAINBOW BY MOONLIGHT CROYDON, Eng. Feb. 16—John Challis says he saw a brilliant rainbow in the sky at midnight by moonlight. Yes, moonlight, not moonshine. Up to this depth the well had not shown any indications and the management were beginning to feel a little uneasy as to the outcome.
