LARGE OIL LEASES TAKEN AT HARDING At least 500 acres of land has been sold or leased for oil development Report Boys Last Seen in Auto With Man Speeding Northward (NBERNARDINO Mar. 30.—Preparation of a new search with airplanes and bloodhounds in the mountains and extension of the search to all parts of the state today featured developments in the effort to find "Dickey" Jensen, 6, and Dean Meecham, 4, who disappeared Saturday. A group of citizens met today to discuss the possibility of employing airplanes with observers and mountaineer posses aided with bloodhounds to go to the higher mountains, past the territory that has already been searched. The theory for the new search is that the boys were kidnapped and taken to a secret mountain retreat where they are being held. Officers in charge of the hunt are said to be in possession of new information that might lead to the finding of the youngsters, but what this information is not revealed. Hope of finding the boys was renewed today by the statement of Y. Abi Japanese grocer, who said the boy had visited his store about 7 ack last Saturday night, a few hours before the search for them was started. Officials in charge of the hunt were informed today that two boys answering the description of the lost pair were seen in company of a man believed to be a foreigner in an automobile, which the man was driving rapidly toward San Francisco. Police in all localities between here and San Francisco were notified to watch for the trio. Deputy sheriffs were dispatched to Palm Springs late today for an investigation of a report made by J. E. Smith, a motorist, that he had become suspicious when he saw two trunks with the air perforation on a truck carrying Gypales. When he attempt to question the nomads they fled, Smith said. A new "spirit" search for the boys was also launched today for the missing children. Marq Dawson, local paychel told the officers she had a "vision" in which she saw a house with the name "Moonshine Cabin" over the doorway and a post in front of the house bore the mysterious letters "A.

LARGE OIL LEASES TAKEN AT HARDING At least 500 acres of land has been sold or leased for oil development purposes near Harding about 4 miles west of Anaheim since interest was turned to the vicinity, it is reported on reliable authority. A well known oil driller of Anaheim declares his belief that there is a field, and that if it is developed it will prove one of the largest in the Southland. An Oklahoma concern has purchased outright ten or more acres adjoining the ranch of E. M. Chalmers and will begin drilling. Chalmers admitted today that he had been approached regarding leases by the concern by had done nothing yet. A Southern California concern also proposes to drill within about the same period. Leasing rights, which always call for drilling within a short period, are bing speculated in. An unconfirmed report is circulating in the city that the Midway Pertroleum company when it drilled 2300 feet previously actually struck oil sand, and stopped only because it could not fulfill the terms of its contract even tho oil were obtained. Those interested in the vicinity point out that as in the case of the Santa Fe field, there are no well marked topographical signs to indicate oil and that only the first well will prove whether a field exists.
