THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 28, 1895. OIL N LOS ANGELES, Scores of Wells Yield a Heavy Output of Petroleum. A GROWING INDUSTRY.| Rich Fields With a Production Too Great for Local Consumption. SEEKING OUTSIDE MARKETS. Formation of an Exchange With the Object of Disposing of the Surplus. LOS ANGELES, CaL., July 27.—Another boom has struck this city, but this one, unlike the others, has a s foundation and will exert more influence on the pros- perity and growth of Los Angeles than could the discovery of a gold mine in the heart of the city. The recent formation of average being between twenty and thirty. The cil district of the present time is | confined in the blocks bounded by Temple | street on the north, Second street on the south, Figueroa street on the east and Bel- | mont avenue on the west, the number of | wells at the present time in active opera- | tion being in the neighborhood of 200, | with an increase of about five per week. | The amount invested is estimated at nearly $500,000, exclusive of the land, and the output is 2500 barrels every twenty-four hours. . | A short time nEo the Union Oil Company obtained a franchise for and constructed a pipe line 24,000 feet long, connecting the oil district with an immense storage tank | built near the tracks of the Atchison, | Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. This tank | is constructed entirely of iron, is40 feet | high, 90 feet in diameter, and has a capac- | ity of 32,000 barrels, F. L. Williams & Son of 8an Francisco followed with a like | enterprise and a tank of equal size. As | the capacity of the tanks at the oil wells is close to 40,000 barrels, this givesa total storage capacity of 104,000 barrels. The consumption of oil for fuel kept pace with | its production, and it hasentered into gen- | eral use in all industries, -business houses | hotels and in fact wherever coal has been | used heretofore, in larger quantities. The | immense saving can be learned from the | | following: Coal costs on an average $7 50 | per ton, oil 75¢ per barrel. Three barrels of oil will ezunl one ton of coal, effecting a saving of $525 or over 663 per cent with- out considering the cheapness of runuing oil furnaces. | The Santa Fe Railroad has at the present time eleven oil-burning engines, is chang- ing others as fast as possible and consumes 600 barrels of oil daily. A storage tank | with a capacity of 5000 gallons has been | erected at San Bernardino, one at Ocean- | side and another at San Diego, and tank- ! cars are being constructed by this com- O THE EASTERN TRACKS, Rich Futurlfy to Be Run Over the Sheepshead Bay Course.

[Reproduced from a photograph.] an oil exchange to properly handle the la and growing output of petroleum has called attention to the remarkable increase in the production of the local oil wells, and it is now coming into prominence as a solution of the problem of supplying a cheap fuel, the lack of which only has pre- 1ted Los Angeles from becoming a man- y vears it has been known that In places the ground was saturated with it, and as the volatile parts evaporated the residue mixing with the earth formed a ‘‘breer.” This breer was for some time dug up by the Second-street Railroad Company and usedwfor fuel, and many of the poorer families used it for a | like purpose. The ground was examined from time to time by experts who had had large experience in Eastern oil fields, and ! all united in saying it was simply “seep- age”; that no true oil field existed, and that any expenditure for prospecting would be throwing money away. In December, 1892, three men, Messrs. Ailman, Canfield and Doheny, purchased two lots near the corner of West State and Patton streets and started todig two shafts. These shafts were 4x9 feet in dimension, and were dug with pick and shovel, the earth being hauled up by buckets. Their reason for literally digging an oil well was that they expected to find oil, if any, so heavy that it could not be pumped, and would have to be elevated by buckets. The shafts were about 150 feet apart, and when one was down 100 and the other 150 feet a much lighter grade of oil was struck than the owners had anticipated, but the quantity was not large and their methods of handling it were so primitive it was not & paying proposition. In March or April, 1893, their *“‘grub stake’’ was exhausted, and they started out to interest capital to continue sinking the shaftsor secure better machinery and bore new wells. After trying in vain for some time they succeeded in persuading J. ¥. Turner to furnish a small amount of capital, ana the boring of a seven-inch hole was begun in a primitive way between the original two. Before the new well was down twenty feet Turner and his partners quarreled, result- ing in the retiring of Doheny, Canfield and Ailman, and the purchase for the sum of $900 of their interest by Turner. Turner then bought an hydraulic water well-boring machine, and after sinking down 225 feet succeeded in bringing up three barrels of oil. 8o much encouraged was he by this magnificent result that he bored another well adjoining 1t to a depth of 480 feet, securing four barrels all told of the black liquid. His old partners, in the meantime, had not been idle, and were sinking two wells a short distance from his last venture. When they reached a depth of 300 feet the wells yielded two barrels of oil each daily. Bayer & Lost, two merchants ;who had property in the vicinity, had in the mean time caught the feyer and were engaged in sinking two wells in Becond-street Park, which; at a depth of 300 feet, also attained the magnificent output of two barrels each per day. Turner had been watching the results, and, despairing of accomplishing much with the poor machinery, then in use, im- ported a St. Lonis Keystone well-boring rig and started inin earnest, sinking six holes to a depth of 500 to 600 feet, which yielded on an average five barrels of oil to each well daily. His former associates fol- lowed him up with a like apparatusand obtained the same results. 1t was not until September, 1893, that a standard oil-boring outfit was set up, Turner purchasing oneand Doheny follow- ing him up with another. This enabled these enterprising men to sink a shaft 900 to 1000 feet, when a flow was struck yield- ing fifteen to twenty barrels daily. It had been an oper question prior to using the standard boring outfit whether the oil field was a true one or simply seepage, but on reaching the increased depth oil sand was discovered, which proved conclusively oil existed in large quantities. Not long after this fact became known derricks were going up on every side and property rose in value. Some wells have produced as much as 150 barrels a day, the general pany for its own use. The saving is such | to the rolling-mills here that they are mak- | ing sheetiron at $7 less per ton than it can pe produced in San Francisco, and can lay it down in that City $4 per ton less thanit | can be imported by the dealers there. 1 _Asthe output averages 2500 barrels and the local consumption but 1500, the sur- plus is 1000 barrels. and to gain o market for that is one of the purposes for which the Oil Exchange was formed. It is the i;urpose to endeavor to secare rates to San rancisco, so as to make it possible to ship there at a profit, the present tariff of 52 | cents per barrel being prohibitory. Fail- ing in this a pipe line to reach Redondo may be built and a tank steamer chartered or purchased to carry oil in bulk to north- | ern ports. The development of these oil fields promises to abridge the scarcity of oil brought about by the complete drain of | Eastern beds, where the out put has fallen beiow the demand, and the estimated stock in sight at the present time isless than 6,000, barrels. On December 31, 1892, the oil in stock was 17,000,000 barrels; De- cember, 1893, 12,000,000 barrels; December, 1894, 6,000,000 barrels; March, 1895, less than 5,000,000 barrels. This being the case and the prospects being bright for the con- struction of the Nicaragua canal, Califor- nia may look forward to shipping fuel East, especially as the decrease in stock will en- hance the value so as to return a fair profit. The oil exchange recently organized is now fully under way. Each member turns in bis extra product, for which he receives oil certificates, and the oil is stored in the large tanks. Arrangements will be made with some firm or agent to handle the entire product, at satisfactory rates, thus.| doing away with ‘“corners’ and various gambling schemes characteristic of oil and grain exchanges. The banks expressed themselves as willing to advance money at a fair rate of interest on oil certificates, thus enabling people with small means to continue, where, under the old condition of affairs, they would have to cease until a sale had been effected of their stock on | hand. Following is a list of members of the exchange who have already signed the constitution and by-laws: American Oil Company, Empire Oil Company, Lehman, Mills & Co.; G. W. Tubbs, J. Neubauer, . W.

NATIONAL CIRCUIT MEET. Pheelmen Race Well Bunched in a FKegular Hurricane. COLUMBUS, Ouio, July 27.—Columbus gave its first meet in the National circuit to-day. There was a good crowd in attend- ance. The milg track was used, the stretch on which is ninety feet wide. The weather was favorable at the outset, but a high wind sprung up later, followed by .rain. During the mile open a hurricane blew down the stretch. - In this race a field of eighteen men started, which is the largest number of starters this season. It wasa representative field of American racing men. The entire country was represented, from California to New York, and there were two from Canada. Gardiner led into the stretch and won by two lengths, Bald second, Titus and Callahan running almost a dead heat for third place, the former getting the decision. Sixteen out of the eighteen men finished within a space of four wheel-lengths, including the two lengths lead which Gardiner held. The last quarter was ridden in 27 seconds, 3-5 slower than the record. One mile, open, class A, T. 8. McKeon, Green- ville, won; Fred Mundheck, Columbus, second ; P. W. Clinger, Columbus, third.

Light ¥iela of Crops in San Joaguin County. STOCKTON, CAL., July 27.—The outlook for the farmer this yearis very discourag- ing. It seems asthough all things have combined against him. The crop, with the exception of that on the West Side, is the poorest known for many years, many fields not paying for the harvesting. The farmer has not even the conmsolation of being able to obtain a good or even a fair price for what product his land will yield. The price of wheat and of barley is away down, and hay is selling at such a low figure that all therranchers who can afford to do so are storing their hay. Various causes are assigned for the poor cereal crop, and in all probability they jointly affect the grain. Some say the aphis did incalculable damage, while others declare that it was the rust that wrought the mischief. Still others are of the opin- ion that the early hot days scorched the rowing grain, while there are some who gelie\'e the whole trouble is due to the cold spring. Whatever may be the cause or the aggregation of causes the fact is that the crop is very light, and the best will do lit- tle more than pay the e?ense of puttin, it in and harvesting it. The grain looke very promising all nlonE, and it was a bit- ter disappointment to the farmers when it did not%ead out as was expected. In the northern part of the county the crop is especially poor. In the vicinity of Lodi the wheat vield will not be more tflan four or five sacks to the acre. Mrs. Ger- rard of \Vaodbridge says that this year she will obtain only three sacks to the acre on land which last year produced ten sacks. The %rnin in the tule land is better, and the barley around Woodbridge, and, in fact, throughout the whole county, did considerably better than the wheat. The reason is that it does almost as well when sown late as when planted early. The report from Linden is that the farm- ers in_ that neighborhood are very down- hearted at the scanty yield of their lands. The average harvest of wheat will not ex- ceed three or four sacks to the acre, and in several places the crep will not justify harvesting. The bariey yield is more en- couraging, although that also is disap- pointing. In the southern part of the county the condition of the crop is more favorable. The West Side farmers expected an excep- tionally heavy yield, but the grain did not do quite as well as they thought it would. I the vicinity of Tracy the barley crop will ran from seven to as high as thirty- three sacks to the acre. Near Grayson it is said that the yield will average that much. The wheat did not come up to ex- pectations, but in some places it will yield twelve bags to the acre. The average is from five to seven bags, however. The hay is exceptionally fine. The Latarop farmers do not expect their wheat to yield them more than two or three sacks to the acre. Not very much wheat was raised in the immediate vicinity of Stockton, most of it having been cut for hay. At French Camp the crop is just about half what it usually is. The report from Modesto, the county seat of Stanislaus County, is that the crop will yield from five to six sacks to the acre. it L, Napa Asylum Management. NAPA, CaL., July 27.—Expert Lewis of the State Board of Examiners has just fin- ished examining the books of the insane asylum here. He found everything in satisfactory shape and complimented Superintendent Garnder and Secretary King upon the management of the institu- tion and the appearance of tlie books. el T DETERMINED ON HIS DEATH. Attempt to Blow Up the House of a Pas- adena Man. PASADENA, CaL., July 27.—A. W. Hall, the victim of an attack with a knife by an unknown party Monday evening, claims that Thursday night he found under his house a piece of lead pipe filled with powder and other explosives and con- taining a fuse which had been lighted and had gone out. The accidental failure of the fuse to do its part in the proposed tiagedy is supposed to be all that saved the lives of Hall and his family. s DOWNIEVILLE STAGE DISASTER. The Driver aud Two Passengers Injured at Nevada City. NEVADA CITY, Can, July 27.—The Downieville stage brake broke when the stage was coming into town to-day. The team ran through the town and upset the stage. Two lady passengers were hurt, and the driver, Sam Gilliam, was bruised. rETELi Y Protest From Santa Maria Workmen. SANTA MARIA, Cawn, July 27.—The employes of F. L. Erickson, a contractor doing work in this neighborhood, have signed a statement saying that a recent publication throwing discredit upon Mr. Erickeon is entirely untrue. Erickson has not employed more than 700 men, all told. A great many of these men are still at work, and the contractor has made an agreement that all teamsters who remain with him until the work is finished will be paid $4 a month extra. The men are paid from §1 75 to $2 a day. The charge for board is $5 25 a week. i Ry Seattle to Celebrate. SEATTLE, Wasn., July 27.—Seattle will observe Monday next as a sort of holiday, in honor of the actual commencement of work on the New South canal, which is to connect Elliott Bay with Lake Washing- ton, and the filling in of several thousand acres of tide land. Business houses and banks will be closed, and people generally will observe the day. Everything is in readiness for the beginning of work, and at 10 o’clock Monday, ex-Governor Semple will pull the lever of the big dredger which will begin the work. B R A Hold-Up Near Angels. ANGELS CAMP, Car., July 27.—Two teamsters who work for Truffler at Salt Spring Valley, this county, were held up by a pair of masked highwaymen yester- day on the road between Milton and Cop- peropolis. They had disposed of two loads of hay, and the robbers evidently supposed the teamsters bad the proceeds of the sale in their pockets. In this they were disap- pointed, securing but $2 50 from both of their victims. S AP Found in Feather River, OROVILLE, Carn, July 27.—A body supposed to be that of O’Neil, who has been missing for several days from his home on the west branch of the Feather Raver, twenty miles above here, was found in the river two miles below Oroville to- day. —_———— Assemblyman Laugenour. The opinion is gaining supporters that As- semblyman Laugenour has gone East. General Montgomery saw some Woodland people yes- terday and they were inclined to believe that the Assemblyman gone away for readjust- ment of his business affairs. When he left th California Hotel last Saturday a week ago he paid his bill and took his baggage away. ————— Nothin Live For.

THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Old Tim Murphy Was the Only Favorite That Got the Money. CLAUDIUS TOOK A HANDICAP. Shaw on Imp. Santa Bella Again Throws Away a Race Through Carelessness. Mr. Macdonough had & $1000 bet down on his English-bred filly Santa Bella. Charley Quinn, who made & mild killing on the Ledette filly some days ago, backed her again yesterday. Claude Burlingame is back from Honolulu, and was shaking hands with his friends at the track yesterday. Joe Piggott’s return to the saddle is eagerly looked forward to by race-goers, as his good riding is greatly missed. Zeke Abrahams was very much disappointed in Jake Johnson's run. The brown fellow worked & mile handily in 1:44 a few days back, and Zeke thought he had fallen into a soft spot. sl Suro was one of the numerous “ uncorkings” in the first race. The husky Mariner gelding, who 1s in Wyatt Earp’s string, was backed from 10down to 4. As Little Willie, he has been showing some good trials. Jonnny Coleman of the Stuyvesant Club, thought Don Gara capable of doing the trick again yesterday. He made one bet of $200 against $900 with Humphreys. The colt was never in the hunt from flagfall. Age is undoubtedly having its effoct on Bell- ringer. While & member ot the Corrigan string it was said he never did anything right. 1f put over the sticks he would fall, and if run on the flat he wanted to go the reverse way of the track. Yesterday he was in one of his angelic moods. There came very near being a surprise in the mile and an eighth handicap yesterday. There were but four starters and Flirtilla had first call 1 the betting, going to the post 7 to 5. Next came Mat Storn’s brown horse Del Norte at twos, hacked down from 3tol. Claudius went back in the betting, while Arnette, the dainty Midlothian filly, was the rank outsider at 10to1, as good as 15 at one time being obtainable. ‘When the flag sent them away Riley on Arnette at once went to the front and set the pace, which was a hot one. Turning into the stretch for heme with a com- manding lead of two lengths the race looked all over, but Riley got too gay and in an endeavor to draw a Garrison finish was nipped by Claudius and beaten out a head in the fast time of 1:541{. Flirtilla was a poor third, while Del Norte was beaten off. Could Riley have endowed his riding with more vim and fire the chest- nut filly could not have lost. A good-sized crowd was in attendance, and the racing asa whole was above the ordinary. Tim Murphy at odds on was ihe only fevorite to win out, all of the ;other first choices undergoing the “barrel- ng process.” J ockey Shaw underwent another of his mesmeric spells during the running off of the two-year-old handicap, in consequence of which the Ledette filly was presented with a race, that should haye gone to imp. Santa Bella, the 7 to 5 choice. The favor- ite had stalled off the challenger of Per- haps, and while Shaw was complacently enjoying the frantic exertions of the riders on’ the latter horse and Joe K in a battle for the place the Ledette filly came with a rush, and despite Shaw’s riding he found himself second by a head. Joe K, who was away from the post none too well, fin- ished a good third. The short six furlongs was rattled off in 1-13}4. The opening event, a six-furlong dash for horses that had not won two races this vear, ended in a victory for the 7to 1 chance rince, who came on in the stretch, and in a arive beat Hello three parts of a length. The second race was an extra edition of the opening race and several ‘“‘hot things” were downed. Of all the starters, Jake Johnson, backed from fours to 14 to 5, no doubt carried the bulk of the money played, although Ledalia was dished up favorite at 12 to 5. The favorite led until less than a furlong from the wire, where Bellringer ‘passed her and won by a length and a half. The Lark was a close third. With his last good race fresh in their minds, the talent quickly hammered the opening odds of 6 to 5 against Tim Murphy to win the third race on the card, a five- furlong dash, down to 7to1l0 and 4to 5. It was hardly a pipe-opener for the roan sprinter, for he passed Red Bird after an eighth of a mile had been traversed and won eased up from the hard-ridden Gold Bug. Hueneme was only a fair third. The handicap furnished another choice that was easily disposed of. There have béen warmer favorites than Ali Baba, who lingered around 9 to 5 and 2 to 1 through- out the betting. The smart set who have been watching the improvement shown by J O C strung their money that way, and they cashed their tickets. Going to the post, the Apache gelding took the lead at the third jump and led throughout, beating the favorite, Ali Baba, out three lengths. The poorly ridden Mestor was a good third. MULHOLLAND.

A DAY AT SANTA" CLARA, Brief Description of the Pio- neer College of Cali- fornia. A Complete Physical Laboratory. Geological and Chemlcal Departments. No one can look over the recordsof Santa Clara College and not be astonished at the number of its pupils who have attained prominence in our State and country. Brought into being soon after the birth of California as a part of the Union, it has grown with its growth and strengthened with its strength and has ever held a prom- inent place in the minds and hearts of the public. Its fame is not confined to Cali- fornia alone nor to the Pacific Coast; it extends from ocean to ocean. Santa Clara College stands upon the site of the old mission, around which the pretty town of Santa Clara has grown up. Seven large buildings, besides others of less importance, inclosed in a quadrangle of nearly ten acres constitute the college. The grounds are laid out in lawns, flower gardens, vineyard and playgrounds. Aside from the usual features common to all colleges, Santa Clara is remarkable for the completeness of its equip- ment in its various departments. The physical laboratory, for instance, is one of the most complete in the United States. It contains over 450 instruments and ma- chines, electrical, mechanical, optical and astronomical, as well as other things nec- essary for the demonstration of the laws of heat, light, souna and electricity. Many of them, at a great cost, were made to order in Paris. The camera was made in London from plans made by Father Brunengo, professor of natural philos- ophy. i‘he work accomplished with it at- tracted the attention of the professors of the Royal Institute of London and they ordered a duplicate. The Cabinet of Paleontology is also very complete. Here is displayed a set of casts, made by Ward of Rochester, who has been called one of education’s greatest benefac- tors. His work places within the reach of all the larger schools and colleges casts of the rarest relics of the paleontological world. A few years ago very few scholars, indeed, were able to enjoy the benefits de- rived from ojective stady in this line. The casts have been classified, from the silurian age to the quarternary, so that the student of geology and natural history is enabled to read the history of the world, vage by age, as unfolded in the rocks. ~In this gepnrtment is also one of Ward’s relief maps of the Grand Canyon cf the Colorado. This canyon is geologically one of the most interesting sections of the world, for it is from 2000 to 5000 feet in depth, and the geological ages, from the silurian up, may be read along the terraces of theriver. The outline maps are colored, showing the different geological periods. The chemical laboratory is also com- plete and includes a complete plant for assaying. The reading matter of the students is subject to the approval of tne president, and the daily news of the world is sup- Elied to them through the columns of THE ALL. The commercial department is one of the best in the State and, including as it does banks, agencies, etc., accustoms the pupils to the routine of business life. A very beautiful chapel for the use of the boys was erected some years back. This, through lack of funds, has hitherto remained uncompleted, but we understand that through the generosity of Mr. Peter Donahue such will no longer be the case. The auditorium is large and well ap- ted. Such is what “a day in Santa "’ will show us of the exterior life, but it is not climate nor material advan- tages that here hold the first rank; it is the mental and moral training imparted to its pupils. Not quantity, but quality, is its maxim, and pupils that do not mean to apply themselves to hard study are neither “encouraged to come nor encour- aged to stay. ilke all unendowed col- leges, Santa Clara has reached and main- tained its position by the self-sacrifice of those who conduct it, and as its struggles in the cause of education are better appre- ciated, it isto be hoped that the example of Mr. Donahue will be imitated by others. For themselves personally the Fathers receive nothing but their mere support; whatever is received beéoqd that is s"oted to helping to form for California a healthy and noble manhood. s NEW TO-DAY.
