MINING OUTLOOK IS GOOD
IN OLD MEXICO SECTION
The mining Industry of Mexico, wye
the Mining Ago of. New York, while
its general conditions arc improving
with the revival of prosp3rity, which
is noticeable throughout that country,
possesses many possibilities thai can
not be overlooked.
There are many extensive regions
where little or no prospecting has been
done, in the northern mining terri
tory, comprising the states of Durango
and Chihauhua. and wost to the coast
many of the districts are rugged and
inaccessible and far from transporta
tion.
where properties are being operated
by mining concerns In restricted areas
a vast section is controlled by people
who keep out tlie small operator and
prospector. Later these grant* will
bo opened up generally. -4> ■ ,
Within a period of the next ten'
years, if the present substantial form,
o£ government prevails In Mexio>>, ad
ditional security will bo furnished both
operators and prospectors, ami it Id
qulto likely that that country will be
come one of the •largest mineral pro
ducing sections" In the world.
Mexico's comparative proximity to
the United States gives it an advant
age over many other mineral contain
ing countries, as American activity has,
contributed more to make Mexico's,
mines what they are today lhan any
other commercial factor. This link,
with the administration of President
Diaz has made mining In Mexico a
totally different proposition than what
it was twenty years ago, when life
■■ml limb wero not secure, as tmnin;r
I difficult enough by Itself without
having to look forward to .amtush in
any narrow pass or broken-up coun
try. '*". v ."-'-'-':' "*• '.'lr*
UNiON WILL GET BUSY
IN KERN COUNTY FIELD
Lompoc Journal.—lt is reported from
most reliable sources that the Union
Oil company has given orders to shut
down all development operations in
their Lompoc and Orcutt properties,
and that as soon an the newly started
wells are finished all unnecessary men
and teams will be discharged. This
means that the bustling activity of the
Union In its northern Santa Barbara
freld has practically ceased as it did
formerly, and that only enough men
will Ik 1 employed to keep the pumps
working steadily and The producing
well! In good shape. That the-Union
will turn its attention to the develop
ment of its Kern county possessions
is the reason given for slowing down
here. „ .^ ;•, •- ■

BIG DEAL IN OIL LAND
An unusually large <Iral in local oil
lands was closed when * the Ventura
Development company, which is com
posed of Captain O. J. Stowe, T. G.
Uabbert. \V. S. Baylll and Barl Moss,
•purchased the large Faulkner ranch
and adjoining lands covering a total
area of 6580 acres. The lands a. -
quired by the development Company
will be turned OVef In ft Wealthy syn
dicate which will commence extensive
oil drilling operations on them.
LOS AXGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, AIMUL 23, 1010.
DRILLERS ARE LOOKING
FOR GREAT RUSH OF OIL
Big Gusher May Come in on Sun
set Company Property
Any Day
Adviffis from Bakertfleld aro to the
effort tliftt our (if Ihn most signi.iffint
of recent developments was the dis
covery of tho Pacific Bunset oil com
pany of a dpcp''r aand than had pre
VioUlly been known in tho upper pHit
of the Sunset field on the nouth half
of tho poutheust quarter of section 84,
12-24. Previous wella in tills Vicinity
were 500 to 600 feel deep, Below that
point 11 1• - early drillers found water
;m<l did not venture further. The Pa
eiflc Bunset has g"in' through the water
■and and found the deeper oil at lOxo
feet. The second sand w.is explored to
a depth <>r M 0 feet, when the gal
pressure became so itrong that work
cm the well was stopped in order to
prepare for the reception of the oil In
.i gusher is developed. The im
mediate result of the strike has been
to cause the Hanford-Sanger Oil com
pany to start deeper drilling on Its ~<
acre tract In the northeast quarter ol
section 3, 11-24, and on the soutl
quarter of the same section. Othei
companies will drill <<n the west half
<>f section ", and on other lands which
lie above the dutcropplngs of the Bnrt
oil sand and which accordingly had
been counted M barren. A milo or two
farther back in the bills are some
trai is of another outcrop, and it Is now
believed that this maybe the upturned
edge of the deep sand struck by the
i\n ifle Suns, t The Pacific Bunset well
IS about a mile and -three-(|uarters
southwest from the LaKeview, and on
section 3.1, which lies between the t'ninn
Oil company, has ffone into what is
supposed lo be the same strata under
lying all three properties, and probably
the whole of the Sunset Held. The
LaJtev4ew struck the pusher sand at
2285 feet, or almost exactly 1000 feet
deeper than the sand found by the
Pacific Sunset. This would indicate a
rather steep, but by no means improb-
Hble dip to the northwest. The depth
at which (he Union Is reported to have
found the sand agrees with this theory
that the stratum i« continuous.
BRITISH SYNDICATE BUYS
KEITH AND MACK HOLDINGS
Several Millions Is the Purchase
Price of Kern River
Properties
BAKERSFIELD, April John M.
Keith, J. J. Mack, the Thirty-Three
Oil company and the Imperial Oil
company have sold 1400 acres of land
In the Kern river oil Held for a price
unknown, but Bald to bo several mil
lions of dollars The deal was closed
a short time ago in England by Mr.
Mack, and Mr. Keith Mid he did not
know the exact amount received for
the la.ml or the Identity of the pur
chasers.
The new syndicate, which is the
Kern River California Oil Fields, Lim
it. (I, securijs possession from April 1.
although it is understood that the deal
was concluded later than that.
W. 8. Hoggs, who has superttended
the property for the Thirty-Three and
Imperial, will continue in the same
capacity for the English company. Mr,
Mack will be one of the new company's
advisers for a time at least.
"For my part, I shall retire from
the Kern river field," said Mr. Keith.
"The Imperial still has property in
the Coaling* field, ami will continue to
operate it. We have only sold our
holdings in Kern river."
The land sold includes section 33.
28-28, belonging- to the Imperial and
Thirty-Three, and 860 acres in 19, 28-27,
and 480 acres in section 25, 28-27, le
longing to Mr. Mack and Mr. Keith in
dividually.
First intimation that foreign cap
italists were about to invest heavily
in Kern county oil lands was that a
group of capitalists wire reported on
the ground to spend $10,000,000 or near
ly that amount in oil. ,
That the Rothschilds are in the pres
ent deal is not confirmed by Mr. Keith,
who does not know Just who the buy
ers are.
The English syndicate takes over
th,- Imperial and Thirty-Three's con
tracts with the Associated for all
their production until a certain total
amount of oil has been delivered. The
contract 13 for 40 cents per barrel, and
It will take about two years at the
present rate of production to complete
it. Section 33 is possibly 'two-thirds
drilled up. On the other land Included
In trie sale there are, no wells. Section
25 Is on the western edge of the proved
territory, and section 19 is on the
northwest front. The field is being
extended in both directions, but the
exact value of those tracts is yet un
demonstrated.
BIG RAILWAY COMPANIES
IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR
Men who are familiar with the oil
deposits of California and Texas say
thai it is probably conservative to es
timate the value of the Southern Pa
cific's oil land at *100,000.000. Atchison
has Invested and is investing an ag
gregate of about $7,000,000 in oil prop
erties and these are estimated to be
worth today between $15,000,000 and
$20,000,000. Like Southern Pacific, Atch
ison Is buying the larger part of its
fuel requirements, which run up to
5,000,000 barrels a year, although it
could easily produce the whole quan
tity at once if it so desired.

Midway Oil
Company
Stock Now Selling
at 15c Per Share
The Patton-Longley Midway Oil Company is located on abso
lutely proven territory directly in line of the great Honolulu
gusher and the Standard gusher and is in the north half of the
northwest quarter of Section 32-31-24.
It is completely surrounded by active operations on an ex
tensive scale, which must inevitably enhance the value of our
property.
The company has a capital stock of 1,000,000 shares at a par
value of $1.00 each. The first allotment of stock of 100,000 shares
is now offered for subscription at 15c per share. None of the di
rectors or officers of the'company receive a salary, therefore all
the money received from the sale of stock will go into the com
pany's treasury to be used for practical development and not
into the pockets of promoters.
The officers of the company are men well known and are of
high standing in business and financial circles, and are backing
their judgment with their own money. The operations of the
company will be honestly and efficiently handled.
The company intends, as soon as possible, to list its stock on
the Los Angeles and San Francisco stock exchange.
We have the ground, we have the means, we have the loca
tion — right between two big gushers. We should get an im
mense well with an abundant quantity of oil, insuring long lived
production and a big income earner. The Honolulu Oil Com
pany has a gusher southeast of our property on Section 10-32-24.
