Signal Hill Turns to Water. Press dispatches carry the infor- mation that Signal Hill, one of the) principal oil fields of California, {s) turning to, water and that several more on the edge have been drilled into water, This means that a de- cline in production will get in and that the exhaustion of the field can be expected. Signal Hill was one of the sen: tions of California, having been d's- red about two years ago. The| pductive area covered about 200 | acres in which 100 wells were drilled! nd which at the peak of production | was delivering about 100,000 barrels| of o'l per day. The excessive drain! on the field hag finally pulled in) water. All Stock Average Higher The average price of twenty active industrial stocks traded in on the New York stock exchange on Thurs- day was 102.57, a net gain of .72. The average price of twenty railroad stocks was 89.14 a net gain of .90, No Change in P. & R.

The new rig on section 14-39-79 in Salt Creek is completed and a produc- tion test {s now being nade. Ten inch casing is being pulled on section 18-40-79, The Wertz test on section 7-26-8918 still shut down on account of a ieee age of water.
