WEEKLY REVIEW OF OIL INDUSTRY By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The most extensive development campaign in the Torrance field has just been started by E. L. Doheny. The heavy drilling campaign started by the Petroleum Securities will push the east line of the field's production closed than ever before to the Barbon boulevard and give Torrance a new boost in production that will probably aggregate 25,000 barrels. The scene of this heavy activity will be staged on the Kleinmeyer property, on which 12 of the 32 wells planned have been started. The largest producer of webw at Torrance was completed by the Shell company on the March issue. March No. 18 drilled to 3800 feet started off at 525 barrels and is a flowing well. The Shell company is continuing its efforts to make the Keystone well a producer and has the well on making some water and a little oil. It was the Keystone well that induced operators to push out east and develop the Torrance field, and it seems rather peculiar extensive development has itself become a commercial producer. The Shell Co. of Calif. has the honor of extending the eastern productive limits of the Dominguez field with what looks like a good well on the Childs city. At 3886 Childs No. 1 showed some oil, at 3920 it showed some more and at the completion depth of 3950, the well carried enough good oil sand to assure a nice producer. The Union Oil Co. put the Dominguez field's head line producer on this week with a 1500 barrel well at Hellman No. 3. The 1500 barrel producer was complied at 4172 end is making the usual 22 gravity oil. The feature of the Dominguez field is the deep rotary drilling being carried on by the Union Oil Co. and the General Petroleum Company. The Union Oil Co.'s something is found that will hold water. Up to and including 4250 feet a suitable shale had not been found. The northwest section of the Rosecrans district is where the attention of the operators will be focused from now on. Interest is strong now since the Sentinel Oil Co. has spudded in on the Brown projery and the Julian Petroleum Corporation has started drilling on its community lease near the Howard townsite. Many operators and petroleum engineers are emphatic in their opinion of the northwest area claiming that here is the cream of the field and the new Santa Fe Springs will rise. The old Long Beach field rounded out the week with a daily average of 160,000 barrels. Two new producers were reported, a 150 barrel well on the Shell's Babb lease and a 190 barrel well by the Turner Oil Syndicate. A. T. Jerkins is about to put on another gusher for the city of Long Beach, having completed No. 10 on the city's water lands at 4800 feet. The Shell Co. at Santa Fe Springs has passed the 6099 mark on its Slushaer GA and to days has not located anything that looks like dep san production. The Federal Drilling Co. tried out its Clark at 4550 and got a very small well. Drilling on 20 feet further and finishing at 4$30 a 125 barrel was obtained. Santa Fe Springs production has dropped to 63,000 barrels. Globe Petroleum has abandoned its Judd well at Huntington Beach at 4908 feet. With the abandonment of this well the hopes of an eastern extension of the beach field faded. The Globe Petroleum has made an honest effort to develop the oil but the oil was not there. Rideout Heights is the new mystery field of Southern California. Some months ago a nice deep sand was found by James O'Donnell in his No. 6 well at 4260, and drilling a second test well on the Strong property a half a mile northwest has failed to find the same sand at better than 4800 feet. Petroleum engineers are of the opinion now... The Union Oil Co. put the Dominguez field's head line producer on this week with a 1500 barrel well at Hellman No. 3. The 1500 barrel producer was completed at 4322 and is making the usual 22 gravity oil. The feature of the Dominguez field is the deep rotary drilling being carried on by the Union Oil Co. and the General Petroleum Corporation. The Union Oil Co.'s Gardena well at 7187 is just 26 feet short of the world record made by the Standard at Brown-igg-Keller No. 2 at Santa Fe Springs. The General Petroleum's White is getting on toward 6200 and humor has it that after the Union has established a record the General Petroleum will go it one better. With the Union's Rosocrans No. 1 a confirmed water well, the Superior Oil Co. feeling is way carefully to find something suitable to set in the southeast section of the Rosocrans field is something of a study if not doubtful territory. On further southeast the Morrison-Sweezy No. 1 has passed the 4400 mark, the Standard Petroleum Co. 4100, and the U. Royalties 4300 and nothing of special importance has been found. The Superior Oil Co. is not going to follow past example in setting a number of strings of pipe to get a water shutoff but will continue to make hole until eastern extension of the beach field faded. The Globe Petroleum has made an honest effort to develop the oil but the oil was not there. Rideout Heights is the new mystery field of Southern California. Some months ago a nice deep sand was found by James O'Donnell in his No. 6 well at 4260, and drilling a second test well on the Strong property a half a mile northwest has failed to find the same sand at better than 4800 feet. Petroleum engineers are of the opinion now that the Rissoure Heights field must be a very small structure or else it is quite broken up. A look over the wildcat situation of Southern California "closes the fact that there is not a good looking wildeatt in the district. At Annelheim the Standard has passed 5500 and found nothing. Artesia has a wel 5233 feet deep that does not produce Handlin has two test wells passed the 4800 mark that are showing. The Pendulum Midway's Carmenita well is better than 5200 and is dry. The Shell's Cerritos Area well is 5560 and no storage tanks have been setup. The Fortuna well at El Segundo is close to 4600 and the crown block is still intact. AT THE HOTEL VALENCIA P. A.

America's round the world flyers who hopped off from Paris at 21:04 o'clock this morning arrived here this afternoon. The flyers were given an enthusiastic reception by waiting people as the three ships winged their way easily to earth. PARIS, July 16.—Led by Lieut. Lowell Smith and escorted by three French military planes, the American round the world flyers hopped off from Le Bourget flying field at 31:04 this morning for Croyden, England.

The passenger plane planned to accompany the Americans as far as London. LONDON, July 16.—A. Stuart MacLaren, British round the world flyer, hopped off today from Yetefour Island for Paramashire, one of the Kurile islands, according to dispatch from Tokia. It was the second lap of his tran-pacific flight. The American planes were sighted at 3:50 p.m. and landed at 4:07. One of the first to rush out on the field to greet the Americans was Mrs. Stuart MacLaren, wife of the British round the world flyer. WHEAT CONDITIONS FAIR IN CANADA WINNIPEG, July 16.—A crop report published by the Tribune after an independent survey asserts that wheat conditions are fairly encouraging thru out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In northern sections of these provinces, conditions are not as good as in the south, it states. In many places wheat is reported as in the head, but lack of rain is said to be holding back maturity in other sections. Summarizing conditions, the report says that the three provinces need have little fear of a general crop failure this year; tho the general yield will be lighter than usual and as a result higher percentage of the best grades is expected. er, who hopped off this morning from the Island of Yetefour in the North Japanese group for Paramashiru in the Kuriles group. She congratulated Lieut. Lowell Smith, the American commander and thanked him for the aid the Americans gave her husband when his plane was disabled in India. Smith told Mrs. Maclaren he wished "her husband luck on his flight." A number of British planes went out to sea to meet the Americans and escorted them in. There was no trouble on the flight, Lieut. Smith said. Letters of greeting from the king, Ambassador Kellogg and Premier MacDonald were presented to the airmen. Later they were taken to the Croyden hotel where they were guests at an informal luncheon. CIGAR STORE RAIDED BY THE The J. A.

Should brush covered ranges of Orange-co's back country be transformed suddenly into a raging furnace by some careless camper and a fanning breeze, Santa Ana's "minute men" will be on the scene to protect life and property within a few hours, if plans on foot materialize. A call for volunteer fire fighters, available on a moment's notice to go into the hills as employees of the U.S. government, was made by Victor Walker, Santa Ana sporting goods dealer. The "minute men" were asked to leave their names and addresses at the Walker store. In more than 20 years the vast canyons and hilly ranges of Orange-co have never been so susceptible to dangerous conflagrations as now, according to Walker, County Game Warden W. E.
