CALIFORNIA ASPHALT BEST
TO BE FOUND IN THE WORLD
Comparison Between the Eastern
and Western Product
Asphalt from California oils corre
sponds to the eastern petroleum resi
duum, the difference being that the
eastern oils leave a greasy residue,
■while that from California oil is
bituminous. The method of manu
facture is to pump the oil into large
sheet eteel stills, where it is boiled
while steam is passed through.
The distillate passing oft Is conducted
into products generally resembling
those from eastern oil, while the resi
due left In the ■still is a hard or soft
asphalt, according to what proportion
of the crude oil has been boiled off.
After cutting off the fire the asphalt
is allowed to cool somewhat, trans
ferred to cooling cylinders, where It is
left until ready to be drawn into bar
rels.
The purity and value of the asphalt
depend on the quality of oil used (the
heavier oils usually making the best
asphalt), the temperature reached by
the stlli (ti.e lower the better) and the
manipulation of the steam. Great dif
ferences are often noted in the quality
of the asphalt made from the same oil
by different operators.
The asphalt as fin-shed may be of
any hardness at will and In quality cor
responds very closely with the corres
ponding grades o/ natural asphalt, ex
cept that it Is almost pure bitumen,
while almost all asphalts occurring In
nature contain more or less mineral
matter.
The old prejudice against artificial
asphalt has almost disappeared.
Indeed, California oil asphelt can
hardly be called an artificial asphalt,
as the asphalt Is largely contained as
such in the crude oil, requiring only
the removal of the excess of liquid ele
ments, while a strictly artificial as
phalt Is made by some mixture or
chemical reaction from other sub
etances.
The black oils of California on being
allowed to dry in the sun leave a
large residue of the finest quality of
asphalt.
STANDARD OIL CO. CAPS
ITS GREAT GUSHER WELL
The Standard Oil company has
finally succeeded In capping its frreat
gas well on section 26-31-23, after
many weeks of preparatory work di
rected by an expert .sent out from the
New York headquarters.
The well came In last April, when it
caught fire and burned for weeks, the
flames being finally extinguished by
steam. Many previous efforts had
been made to cap the well, but until
today all had resulted, in failure, and
In one of these four men narrowly es
caped death in an accident due to the
great pressure ol gas.
An attempt was made recently to
measure the flow,which was only par
tially successful. The flow through
the twelve-inch pipe measured 40,000,
--000 cubic feet daily. Surrounding the
twelve-inch pipe is a fifteen and five
eighths inch casing, and the flow be
tween the two could not be measured.
It is certain that enough gas comes
from thla well every twenty-four
hours to supply the whole of Southern
California.
ONLY QUARTER OF LAND
AT COALINGA DRILLED
The absolutely proved area of Coal
inpa might be taken at about 124
square miles, probable area variously
taken at from two to four times that
aroa. Not over one-quarter of this
twenty-four square miles Is actually
drilled.
Proved area of Midway is Bomewhero
about twonty-flve square miles, but
there are indications that it will ulti
mately prove to be very much larger
than this.
Proved area cf Sunset about nine
square m:
Proved area of Kern River about
fourteen square miles.
Proved area of McKittrick about
four square miles.
Proved area of Santa Maria, about
thirty square miles, with possibilities
of wide extensions.
Proved area <>f all the Southern
fields taken together, .somewhere
about thirty to forty square miles.
There are large areas of prospective
territory here also.
COPPER HOLDINGS DECREASE

Aug. 1. according to the monthly report of
the Copper Produce™' association, made
public today.
MIDWAY FIVE OIL CO.
LOOKING FOR GUSHER
Corporation Asserts That Prod
uct Is Held for Better
Prices 50 Cents
The Midway Five OH company drill
ing on thirty acres patented ground
on section 6-32-23 North Midway, has
entered the brown shales overlying
the main oil sands at 1855 feet. Presi
dent Honnlngsen says: "Within the
next 100 feet of sinking we should en
ter the gusher sands. We look for an
Initial production of not less than
15,000 barrels daily." The Midway
Five well is between the United and
Santa Fe on the north and the Hale-
McLeod wells on the south. East of
the property are the Leßelle and St.
Lawrence gushers.
It Is said the company has received
an offer of 47' V 4 cents per barrel for
their entire production but will not
sign a contract, believing that they
will be able to get 50 cents per barrel
better for their oil, and maintaining
that the big, transportation corpora
tions are short on their contracts and
that the talk of overproduction and
low prices is for one purpose only—
to frighten the small producers to
selling at any figure, that the corpora
tions might be able to secure enough
contracts to guarantee the production
they need before the true state of af
fairs is generally known and the price
of oil soars upward.

OLD VULTURE MINE
AGAIN IN OPERATION
Property Has a Record of More
Than $16,000,000 to
Its Credit
PRESCOTT, Sept. B.—Earl Ropers,
•who has been at the Vulture mine,
near Wlckenburg, during the erection
of the new mill for R. C. Jenson,
who Is also contracting on that Job
for the D. P. Demorest company of
San Francisco, Cnl., says that this
company, who purchased the once fa
mous Vulture mine, which had a
production record of over $16,000,000
to Its credit and was still reported
to be a good mine, have now about
completed a system of development
that will Insure Its record of produc
tion to more than the development
necessary to place it upon Its one
time record producing gait as a gold
producer.
Mr. Rogers cays that two shafts
are now In operation, one being 600
feet deep and the other 400 feet. The
company has recently installed a
new twenty-stamp mill in connection
with the old mill of the same number
of stamps. In addition to this they
have installed n new cyanide system
which will handle a continuous per
colation system of tailings, Instead
of the old-fashioned system of hand
ling by the hour. The future out
look for this section of country Is
very favorable looking toward the in
creasing of the production of north
ern Arizona. This company has 150
men at the mine, and the stamps
used in the new mill are the heav
iest ever Imported to tills country,
weighing 1600 pounds each.
OIL PROSPECTS AT BARSTOW
ARE REPORTED AS GOOD
The oil excitement has again broken
out in the Barstow country, and yes
terday locations covering over 6500
acres were filed for record with County
Recorder Johnson. The claims .lie in a
new belt, which is said to be oven
more alluring than the Hiawatha sec
tion, where for over ten years men
have delved into the bowels of the
earth for the black fluid.
The locators of the big area now at
tracting notice are all residents of Los (
Angeles. They have been looking over
the ground very carefully and seem
confident 4hat they are now in the
right section. They propose drilling a
test well at once. They are Mr. and
Mrs. Charles S. Hall. Mr. and Mrs. C.
L. Emindorf, Mr. and Mrs. H J. Sew

26,000,000 BARRELS OF OIL
NOW IN STORAGE FOR USE
Roports for the storage of oil in this
state show that in July the amount of
the crude product held in reserve was
26,000,000 barrels. This does not take
Into consideration the amount of oil
held in storage by the railroads and
refineries and other large consumers.
This amount of oil is held largely by
the big companies. The stock on hand
can be roughly divided as follows:
Standard Oil company, 15.000,000 bar
rels; Union agency, 8,000,000 barrels,
with about 3,000.000 barrels kept on tap
by the Associated Oil company. Ex
pens who have studied the field state
that the supply kept on hand should
be at least fifty million barrels. The
amount of storage is increasing, how
ever, and will probably reach the de
sired mark soon.

PRODUCERS OF OIL
ELECT DIRECTORS
S. C. Graham Withdraws from
Western Association After
Result of Election Is Told
Members of the Western Oil Pro
ducers' association held a stirring
meeting last night in the assembly
room of the chamber of commerce
following the election of eleven mem
bers of the board of directors. Twen
ty-two names were on the printed list
and there were a number of men
voted for whose names were not on
the ballot. Those elected by major
ities ranging from 88 to 121 were: W.
W. Orcutt, S. G. Guiberson, T. A.
O'Donnell, Capt. John Barneson, Wil
liam Matson, M. H. Whittier, Julius
Fried. Fred H. Hall, F. N. Scofleld,
Dr. Norman Bridge and John H, Ba
ker, jr.
Later the directors will meet and
elect officers.
Following the announcement of the
result, S. C. Graham, who had been
serving as chairman, arose, and be
sides tendering his resignation as
chairman requested the secretary to
remove his name from the roster as
a member of the organization. He ex
plained that he felt he should with
draw from the organization, as he be
lieved that while all of the members
wore his friends the members of the
board as elected were not in harmony
with his views of conservation. At
tempts were made, chiefly by Charles
P. Fox, to persuade Mr. Graham to
reconsider his action, but he stood
firm for the position taken, and, while
he occupied the chair to the end of
the meeting, he severed his connection
with the organization with the state
ment that ha would still act for the
best interests of the oil industry.
Capt. Wharton, *vice president of
the Skiddoo Mining company, offered
a resolution requesting the newly
elected board of directors to use their
best efforts to secure a union or amal
gamation of California oil men or
other organizations identified with
t:.e oil industry, to the end that the
best interests of the industry may be
subserved. 4 I
Capt. Wharton held that all of the
oil men should get together If they
would accomplish anything effective.
Charles P. Fox opposed the resolu
tion offered and presented an amend
ment to the effect that all other or
ganizations co-operate whenever in
the judgment of the directors it was
jjeemed advisable for the Interests of
the oil men. The amendment was
voted down and the Wharton motion
was adopted.
Mr. Fox, who had called the meet
ing of the California oil men, stated
that the organization was not formed
in opposition to any other oil asso
ciation, but for the purpose of prose
cuting a fight in Washington that will
untangle present conditions and render
Justice to those who have expended
their money and labor in the oil in
dustry.
Capt. Wharton suggested that the
American Mining congress to be held
in Los Angeles would be a potent
factor In the interest of the m{ning
and oil men, and that resolutions
adopted by that body, by delegates
who understand the real situation,
would be of powerful Influence with
the land department of the govern
ment and with congress.
