12 Eastern Coal Barons Oppose Use of Petroleum by Navy COAL COSTS MORE THAN LIQUID FUEL Experts Say Steaming Radius Would Be Increased by Use of Petroleum Merchantmen Successfully Use Both Kinds of Combustibles in Furnaces It is not often that the navy depart ment places its'official o. k. on humor ouf productions. The navy department may not class its explanation for the nonufo of liquid fuel on the warships a* a joke, but as such it was received on this eoa*»t by the people he.vt quaii ri**d to judge. A" recent dispatch from I Washington related that the navy'de partment, aroused by the criticisms of The Call, has issued a gonera-r- state ment showing that the use of liquid fuel -would be impracticable on the warships even of the Pacific fleet. The reason, said the navy department. v.as that warships now on this coast might be ordered to the Asiatic side \u25a0where there Js no oil supply. There is r-oal. said the navy department, in Asia. In its explanation the department admitted that a large saving could be effected by the use of liquid fuel, "if al! dependence could be -placed on it." This explanation might be accepted at its face value if the warships of the Pacific fleet, obtained their coal from Pacific coast sources and if the ships of the Asiatic fleet used Asiatic coal in their furnace*. As a matter of fact, however, practically all the coal used T>y sll the warships' in the United States ravy comes from the mines of the At lantic states. The coal used by the Pacific and Asiatic fleets is transported to this coast and to the far east at cMorroous expense. Special atention was <.'il]<">d to this when the cruise of the At lantic fleet necessitated the transporta tion of an extraordinary amount of «"oal. A great fleet of foreign tramps was en prag^d for this purpose. The shipping community on this coast has good rea son to remember these tramps, the ex penses' of which to this coast were paid by I'ncle Sam and which paid their ex penses home again by cutting the heart «>ut of the offshore freight market. K.isTERN IXFLIEXCKS ** W The oilmen realize that as long as t!)*? influence of an Atlantic side coal baron is more potent than the argu ment'of a Pacific slope well owner, f-htly Cumberland coal is more to be desired by the navy department than cheaper and more efficient liquid fuel { from the wells of Alta California. They i will not on this account, however, re frain from' again calling attention to the superiority in every way of the Pacific product. As a matter of fact it would be. - cheaper and mort practical to ship oil from this, coast to the Atlantic than it is to transport coal from the Atlan tic to tfte Pacific. There .Is already a pipe line across the isthmus of Panama f. nd to increase its capacity to the ex tent of the fuel requirements of the Atlantic fleet would be a less costly operation than the chartering of enough merchantmen to keep the s"hips on the Pacific supplied with Atlantic coal. '.:'•-, * On this coast, from South America to Alaska, oil storage stations have been established at frequent intervals and the Union oil company even main tains a large supply of liquid fuel on the Asiatic coast. As far as the Pacific fleet is concerned it would be a simple matter even now to keep the ships supplied with liquid fuel and it would rot take long to establish similar sta tions for the use and convenience of the Atlantic fleet. CRUISING BADICS The navy department expresses the fear that the conversion of the ships «>f the navy into oil burners might re strict the direction or limit the radius , «>f their cruising. The oilmen contend that the conversion would have just ' tli<* opposite effect. Attention is also called to the fact that although oil can not be used in furnaces fitted, for the burning of coal, it is a simple matter to adapt the fur » naces of an oil burner to the use of coal. The turbine liners Tenyo Maru ;uid Chiyo Maru burn both coal and oil. Oil is cheaper at this side and coal cheaper in Japan, and as a measure of economy these ships burn oil going • from here to Hongkong and burn coal on the way back. What a. Japanese \u25a0' merchantman can do. say the oilmen, should be a simple matter for the navy department of the great United States. The oil for use by the warship could be etowed in space now wasted, in the double bottoms, for instance, and part of the present bunker space could be used for storing a reserve supply- of coal. The rest of the present bunker Kpace would 'be available for other purposes. . :•'•*\u25a0 Meanwhile the use of liquid fuel by the ships of the merchant marine is on the increase and the oilmen are satis fled that the record of its effleie*icy will In time impress the navy department with the advisability of catching up with the march of progress. PACIFIC STATES OIL CO. COMPLETES PIPE LINE Delivery Made to Refining Com pany on 80 Cent Contract The Pacific States oil company, in section 6, Coalinga, has completed its pipe line and has begun deliveries to the Phoenix refining -company on . its Si} cent contract. The, oil is 28 grav ity and brings SO cents at the well. Some of the other companies in section c> in Coalinga have a similar quality of oil and will also .negotiate contracts at the higher figure. - , It te the policy of the \u25a0 Producers* \u0084 agency to allow Its members to con tract their light oils where they can obtain the best price. The Pacific States has a production ,of about 200 barrels a day from its first well. The Silver Tip, near by, with the same quality of oil. has a larger yield. The supply of 28 gravity oil, however, is restricted and the tend ency of* prices is upward. OIL IS STRUCK IN THE ELK HILLS REGIOtM Property Owners in the Vicinity Jubilant Over Discovery [Special Dispatch to The Call] BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 16.— News has reached this city of the strike at 1,440 feet in the No. 1 well of the Mfdway Valley oil company, section 12, "24-31, In the Elk hills.' The well /went into t!ie oil sand Friday evening. "Accounts designate the well as from a", 500 bar rel producer to 2,000 barrels. The strike has created the: utmost; lnterest in oil circles. It-is the, first important discovery of oil in tbat;region of^the K!k. hills and the property -owners ".in -the vicinity are particularly "jubilant." NAVY DEPARTMENT'S ATTITUDE LOOKED ON AS JOKE BY OILMEN Japanese liner loading oil, shotting case with which the fuel is tafen aboard. STORAGE OIL OF' BIG CONCERNS IS SHORT s. - - \u25a0 Standard and Associated Said to Face Situation A prophecy among oilmen which has the known virtue of not having any denial registered against it, says the Fresno Republican, is that the Associ ated and possibly the Standard oil com pany will be out of storage oil in this state in about 60 days. Just what tijis wjll mean 'is a matter of speculation, but the talk is b,eing heard now that there is a possibility that' the big mar-* keting concerns will have to buy from the Producers' agency. In this event, it is pointed out, the oil industry situa tion in this state will be changed over night. For some time it has been pointed out that these two big marketing concerns are drawing on their surplus oil. The pipe line facilities in the fields, aug mented recently by both the Standard and the Associated, are now just about large enough to handle the oil being producca, exclusive of the Lakeview oil. Further, by a sort of irony of fate, it is observed, almost all* of the big wells that have made California fields famous of late have been agency wells. FORMER CALIFORNIAN DIES AT CAPE TOWN William R. Quinan Was Noted Authority on Explosives Advices from Cape Town, South Af rica, dated August 15. give information of the death there of William R. Quinan, formerly of this state and a well known authoritj* on the subject of high explosives. He had been in Africa since 1599, having, founded the huge plant of the De Beers explosive company. • • In 1870 the late chemist, was grad uated from West Point and for a num ber of years remained with his regi ment, the Fourth United States artil lery. At the special instance of the late Cecil Rhodes he entered the pow der industry in Africa and won a rdpu tation.for himself as a technical chem ist and student of ballistics. He had a number of friends in San Francisco and throughout the state. His remains will be .interred in Cape Town. He was born, in Baltimore, Md. NEW OIL WELL SAID TO BE SPURTING AGAIN The Pennsylvania petroleum company's new well, which has been slowly coming in, was reported spurting again yesterday, at about a 300 barrel rate,' says the Santa Barbara Independent. The -difficulty of bringing wells to flow in the Cat canyon district, even . after being completed, is * hardly realized." The Palmer oil company has had the same trouble" to '.contend with, espe cially in their Xo. 1, which is nearly 400 feet deeper, than Xo. , 2. The Xo. -2,' being f?o .much shallower and having been drilled^so much quicker than the other wells, was three months from the; time It wasflnished .until: it '.became.a big gusher. " \u25a0' . .

The Belgian' corporation stands ready to purchase a somewhat smaller amount over a . Uke number of years. It is understood that the petroleum is wanted essentially for steamship pur poses. . , The agency offered to close the con tract on the spot, "but the foreigners declined .on the ground that' they had no satisfactory : evidence that the amount could be delivered. When the great output of the California fields was explained to them, they still held off on the ground, that this big yield might not continue. They required that the amount be shown to them in stor age as a guarantee. . The foreigners desire to purchase at shipside on the Pacific coast. -This may necessitate the construction of still another pipeline to the ocean. At the same time it is ' pretty well assured that the 'English government will before long request tenders for a great supply of oil for use in the. navy. The agency has just completed its first move toward simplifying the stor age problem. Plans have been ' com pleted for the issuance of certificates. Independent companies with oil stored with the agency may now borrow money on these certificates and need not, therefore, be handicapped in de velopment work:'' It is estimated that 6,000,000 barrels of agency oil, are now held in storage.

It. has been super seded by the big producer of the Amer ican oilfields company. This geyser, known as, well "No. 79," has been yield ing steadily for several, days at the rate of 40,000 barrels every 24 hours. In the; meantime, the Lakeview has dropped to 20.000 barrels daily. ' s The. new American oilfields gusher is located on section 3S in. the North Mid-, way: It came- in two weeks, ago and flowed a- 10.000 barrel ;gait without much' gas- pressure,'. rolling- over the casing like. an: artesian well. At the! end .of last -week it : broke loose and '\u25a0 spread black spray all over the land scape. Since then it has continued to produce 40,000 barrels a day. Another big well was brought,i*n near the' Lakeview, when the -Marlcopa 36. a San Francisco . company, struck the gusher sand.- The stream of oil spout ed-high above the derrick. It poured forth an immense volume of oil before 'it sanded up.- It is now being cleaned and will soon be opened again. This company has contracted its product to the Standard oil "company and has be gun deliveries. Pipes have -been run, reservoirs built, and preparations are being made to handle the great flow when the well is turned loose. The Union oil company has 'devel oped another gigantic gusher near the Lakeview, in Sage No. 11. This well rivaled its famous -neighbor and gave out such 'a" torrent of petroleum tUat no measure could be taken. It choked through its own force. The company, which also controls th.? Lakeview, will allow it to remain inactive for the present.' v : In the Santa Maria field the two fa mous Palmer wells have shown an in clination to increase rather, than to decrease. , The output is approximately 10.000 barrels of oil daily. The wells are flowing clean and making very lit tle sand. The product goes to the As sociated and the Union oil companies at 50 and 55 cents a- barrel. The Palmer company has .not only fllleU its contract to date, but ha 3 150,000 bar rels in storage. At the same time it is producing far more than enough to. take care of the enormous amount which it is pledged to deliver over a series of yeara.

OIL MEN EXPECT AID FROM PINCHOT Former Chief Forester to In spect California Fields c m September v Oil men expect some measure of re lief from the present policy of the general land office in regard to the petroleum measures will follow Gifford Pinchofs visit \u25a0 to the fields next month. . While Pinchot is s no longer a member, of the administration, he ex ercises, as president of the , National conservation commission., an- influence so powerful that it is felt that it will be reflected .sooner or later in federal regulations. The oil men have been dissatisfied with the extensive withdrawals of President Taft. the failure to arrange a system for location, and the rulings by which doubt has been cast upon the titles of a great number of operat ing companies. The policy which has given rise tn these conditions had Its origin with Secretary Ballinger. It has been the contention of California operators that the oil regions required special legis .lation and could not be handled prop erly under the same rulings that have been applied to coal lands. Oil flows and the holders of big tracts are able to tap the pools that underlie the with drawn areas. The result, of course, ta to give the aUvantage to the corpora tions operating on the largest scale. This means such companies as th» Standard and the Southern Pacific, which control alternate sections in the proved territory. Pinchot has never made a personal inspection of the oil fields and when recently In San Francisco expressed his desire to make a trip into the re gion. It has now been arranged that he will be escorted through the oil fields' by representatives from Sart Francisco, Los Angeles, Bakersfield and Coalinga. His visit has been set tor September 11. From the knowledge grained by per sonal study, Pinchot will be able to enlighten the members of the conserva tion association. In this way It Is be lieved that the federal government may be induced to adjust its regulations to serve the interests of the community rather than a few corporations. VIA COAST LJL-VES i Lmt.
