THURRANCE ADDS SOME BIG WELLS For the first time in many weeks the Torrance field added a number of 1900 and 1200 barrel wells, and by so doing increased the interest in the field greatly. Since the flush production of the Lomita district of the field excited the operators some two months ago, and the good wells of the eastern section of the field the Torrance-Lomita field has furnished little excitement. With the bringing in of thousand barrel producers the outlook has been made a lot better. E. J. Miley started the big production program at Torrance this past week by bringing in a 1100 barrel well on his Torrance property. The Miley well was drilled to 3819 feet and came in a 20 gravity producer. The Sentinel Oil Co. followed Miley with what might be called a gusher for the Torrance field. On the Joughin property the Sentinel drilled its No. 2 to a depth of 3715 feet and got a 1300 barrel producer, one of the largest wells yet completed at Torrance. The General Petroleum Corporation got a nice well when its subsidiary the Baukline Oil Co. completed a 750 barrel well at a depth of 3791 feet. McMahon a private operator completed his No. 1 or Narbonneave at 2775 and got an 800 barrel producer. The Native Petroleum Co.'s Bailey No. 1 at 3750 feet started off at 250 barrels. The Selby-Root Oil Co. completed a 250 barrel well at its No. 4. That the Shell Co.'s March lease is one of the coming producing properties of the Torrance field is attested by the fact that March No. 2 the Shell's first completion on the March lease is a 1150 barrel well. It was only necessary for the Shell Co. to go to 3790 feet to get the big producer. Among other producers of note BUENA PARK, March 13. (Mpl.)—Miss Bertha Robinson was hostess to the J. R. class of the Congregational Sunday school Monday evening.

The Selly-Root Oil Co. completed a 250 barrel well at its No. 4. That the Shell Co.'s March lease is one of the coming producing properties of the Torrance field is attested by the fact that March No. 2 the Shell's first completion on the March lease is a 1150 barrel well. It was only necessary for the Shell Co. to go to 2790 feet to get the big producer. Among other producers of note, Robert of Torrance during the last week are the Petroleum Services Co.'s No. 28 a 600-barrel well, the return of the Consolidated Manuals Oakley 1 to production at 450 barrels the recovery of the Fortunat Oil Co.'s No. 1 to production at 250 barrels, the completion of the Shell Co.'s Ketter 1 a 650-barrel well, and the U.S. Royalty Co.'s No. 21 a 300-barrel well. With the discontinuation of the drilling of the Superior Oil Co.'s 13 at 4700 and the change in the program for the Bush darkons. It appears that oil engineers and petroleum geologists have declared that deep sand for the field is impossible and at this time there are no operators or wells making an attempt to find it. We batten our windows, We double our doors, And spread dusty carpets all over our floors; We sit and we simmer in the dry atmosphere. And nurse the worst "cold." We've had in a year. Mr. and Mrs. R.

It is believed the heavy decline the field has been suffering from for a number of months has been arrested and from now on the field will hold its own around the 100,000 a day mark, and if there are continued declines they will be very gradual. New production this past week was added at Santa Fe Springs by the Bandini Petroleum Co., the Standard Oil Co., the Union Oil Co., and the Wilshire Oil Co. The Bandini Petroleum Co. completed a 300 barrel well on the Off property at a depth of 4650 feet. The Standard Oil Co.'s Johnson No. 4 at 4622 went on the pump at a 35 barrels. The Union Oil Co.'s Bell No. 21 in the upper oil zone area made a splendid little well coming in at 450 barrels. Bell 25 was completed in the Foy zone at 3525 feet. The Wilshire Oil Co. closed the week's new production record at the Springs with a 300 barrel well on the Baker property at 4300 feet. Huntington Beach continues to show a lot of new activity and the way the old field is maintaining its production is a matter of some pride. During the past week five new wells were started in the field and the daily production hovers around the 60,000 barrel mark constantly. The new wells were started by the Associated and the Standard Oil Co., the Associated starting two and the Standard three. The Associated Oil Co.'s new wells to start drilling are Wardlow No. 1 a new lease property well, and Milpac-Keck No. 49. The Standard Oil Co. started new wells Huntington A-23 and Hunt- MILK FIRM OPENS The Crescent Creamery Co., of Anaheim, has just established a wholesale milk business in Orange county, where Crescent milk of extra rich quality is being sold every day. The Crescent Creamery Co. has been requested, for a great many years by local people to establish a milk business in Orange-co., and it has only been to satisfy this insistent demand that they finally decided to enter this territory. The growth of the Crescent Milk business has been nothing less than phenomenal, starting in 1917 with two or three retail routes. The business has expanded with such proportions, that today there are more than 150 routes in daily operation. Crescent milk is being sold by the Sam Seelig and other grocery stores in Orange-co. The Buena Park Sanitary Board met Monday evening, Attorney Launer and Engineer McCoillum met with them.

MINE CONTINUES TO GIVE UP DEAD CASTLE GATE, Utah., March 13.—The dank, slimy waters of Mine No. 2 of the Utah Fuel Co. continued to give up their dead throughout the night and early morning hours. Body after body has been carried from the blast-wrecked tunnels and it seems certain that all the 173 workers that entered the mine Saturday morning have perished. Practically every nook and corner in the farthest reaches has been searched but no evidence of existing life has been found by the hundreds of volunteers who have worked night and day since the terrific blast of the poisonous gases. The search of or bodies was halted for a time Wednesday night while the rescue crews turned their attention to fighting fire, which undoubtedly has been smouldering since the series of explosions wrecked the mine on Saturday. Pure air pumped into the mine is believed to have farned the smouldering masses into numerous fires. A furor of excitement swept over the bereaved little mining camp last night when a report reached the groups of women gathered around the shaft that a man had been found alive, but a subsequent investigation proved the rumor without foundation. While many of the bodies found have been terribly mutilated, mute testimony of the terrific force of the explosors, some of the bodies are without a mark, but in no instance are there any evidences that life existed but for a few seconds after the blasts. Members of the crew found one man dead, face downward in a small pool of water, the dirt around his hand indicating that he had moved after being felled. Many of the men have been found with hands raised in front of their faces as if to ward off blows. It is believed all of the bodies BRITISH LABOR GOVT.' DEFEATED LONDON, March 18.—The labor government was defeated in the house of commons this afternoon upon a motion to suspend the rule calling for adjournment at 11 p.m. This was the first defeat the MacDonald government has sustained in commons. The vote was not on a question of policy and it is not expected. The defeat will cause the MacDonald government to resign. Tory members set up a deafening cheer when the result of the vote was announced 234 to 207 against the laborites. The government wanted to suspend the rule to permit late night sessions because of the pressure of business. will have been removed from the mine tonight. No definite arrangements have been made as to the burials, many of the bodies still lying in the morgue. Less than a score of the bodies unidentified. 475 DEPARTMENT STORES PRICES ST. ANAHEIM, CALIF.
