Harry D.

This company, formed two years ago, holds valuable leases and royalties in the Richfield and Huntington Beach fields, and is now working toward the construction of a series of casinghead gasoline plants in the several L. districts. Harry D. Riley, president of the Anaheim C. of C. and successful Studebaker dealer, is president of the Richfield Southern. O. W. Clark, capitalist of Long Beach is vice president; J. S. Ward is secretary and Dr. H. A. Johnston, prominent surgeon and reality owner, is treasurer. Besides these officers, the board of directors is composed of many prominent men in banking and oil circles. John E. Wents, vice president of the Anaheim National Bank and general manager of the eWestern Gasoline and Refining Co., which concern is already successful in the operation of casinghead gasoline plants, is on this board. L. Pelanconi, members of the advisory board of the Bank of Italy, is a director. The other directors are: Samuel P. Kraemer, Jr.; capitalist of Placentia; Ben M. Yorba, of Anaheim, capitalist and oil operator; E. Pollard, citrus growers of Pasdecan; Amos Cox of Santa Ana and T. Ingram, manager of the California and Palyland theaters of Anaheim.

Building operations will largely be under al Weber's Kodak Films Developed Free I purchased of us Enlargements Free the direction of John H. Wents who is experienced in the manufacture of casinghead gasoline. The "Newton Process" of refining will be used in the various plants. This process has already proven successful and the demand for the gasoline made by it is greater than the present supply. The Richfield Southern is assured of a market for its product. It is estimated that the gas to be used will produce approximately two gallons per 1,000 cubic feet, and the capacity of each unit will be 3,000-4000 cubic feet per day. On this basis it is estimated by the officials of the company that the earnings when the plants are constructed and in operation will be from 10 to 30 per cent per month. The present new offering is $150,-000 worth of stock which is being sold at 25 cents per share. None of the officers will draw any salaries and the promoters will not receive any returns on stock held by them until 100 per cent has been returned to all present investors. Earnings from the gasoline plants will be paid out in monthly dividends. Money made from the casinghead gasoline business is a clear profit to the oil industry as it was only a few years ago that casing head gasoline was a waste product. Thanks to inventive genius this product is now utilized and results in large profits to successful operators of Absorbion plants.

The well that attracts supreme interest on the Hill is the General Petroleum's B. & S. No. 1 about to go on production at a depth of 5430 feet.

The bodies of the slain were dumped overboard at the height of the battle. Two were white men, two negroes and five Chinese. According to U. S. immigration authorities, 20 Chinese were being smuggled into New York for $500 each.

Munger) Approximately a dozen new oil wells are about to go on production at Signal Hill, and before the end of the week the famous Signal Hill field will have received some big boosts on output. The well that attracts supreme interest on the Hill is the General Petroleum’s B. & S. No. 1 about to go on production at a depth of 5430 feet. This well shatters all former deep production records and if the depth of the oil sands count for anything the General Petroleum will make the operators sit up and take notice. It required more than 2000 feet of perforated casing to take care of the long stretch of oil bearing sands and shales. It is understood that the perforated string of casing going into B. & S. No. 1 is the longest ever put into an oil well. Joseph Dabney whose work at Long Beach has attracted attention from the start is getting ready to a 5000 foot well on production. The deep Dabney well is No. 20 and it is the first real deep test well to be drilled on the holdings. Arthur Delaney, former Petroleum Midway field foreman is bringing in the deep well. Geo. F. Getty is making preparations to put a historic Long Beach well on production. Getty No. 1 one of the first to be drilled on the Hill Top section of the field was redrilled with the intention of getting it down to the deep sand. The development of mechanical trouble made it imperative to complete the well and put it on production at a depth of 3658 feet. Interest in the Lynes Oil Syndicate well henceforth to be known as the Northwest Extension rivives as the announcement is made that a string of 8-1-4 casing has been successfully landed on bottom 4710 feet. As yet the well has not shown anything particularly encouraging. The Northwest Extension well will no doubt open up a new field if oil is found at all. The Braddock-Haslam Drilling company has the contract for finding the oil. Braddock made his debut in Richfield and left a splendid record for himself in that former famous field. Carl Maler is at last an oil producer at Signal Hill. Maler started in the oil business on the Hill early, but had no luck with his development work. Carl Maler 1A has just been completed and put on production a 500 barrel well. If showings and appearances mean anything the Henderson Petroleum Company should get a nice well on the Mills property. At 4850 feet the Mills well has been drilling in the oil sand for a 100 feet or more. Showings of consequence were first noted at about 4600 feet. It is the intention of the Henderson Petroleum to carry the Mills well down to the deep sands and the gest the best while the getting is good.
