St R B. F. Brook of Bakersfield, who is large- ly identified with the oil interest in the Kern River district, has been in Los An- geles and has there talked to a reporter for the Los Angeles Times concerning the scrippers and the recent decision by Judge Ross in Los Angeles. Some of his state- ments indicate the feeling among the oil men in his section, “The scripper: sald Mr. Brook, “do not number over fifty in our district. As against them are the people of this and other communities who have invested their money in oil property. Take the district in which I am interested, for ex- ample. There are twenty square miles of territory throughout which there are many producing oil wells.

There appears to be at this time in the National Guard of California a degree of what is designated as ‘“masterly inactiv- ity.” There is but very little doing, and nothing in the line of placing the guard on a footing te be ready for a call should there be a demand in case of trouble in the Orient. The First Regiment of Infantry is in a condition which shows that there is not that interest in the ranks that there wa in that organization before the Spanish- American war.

There is to be another $10 excursion to Lake Tahoe on Saturday, July 28, on pre- cisely the same conditions as the one given last night—that is, leave the bay cities on the 6 o'clock _train Saturday evening, spend all day Sunday on and about the lake and return on the 11:45 a. m. train Monday. Sleeper both ways is included in the price of the ticket. Nowhere in the world is so much that is truly_grand, instructive, pleasurable and beneficial to be had at such srhall cost. e Butler Hill’s Bicycle. Z. Imhof, 2529 San Bruno road, a block from the end of the car line, called upon Captain Seymour yesterday and told him that George P. Hill, the butler who stole the Crocker diamonds and has not been heard of since, left his blc;;cle with him on the night of May 6, when he disap- peared with the diamonds. Imhof said he had been advertising for the owner to re- turn for it, and it was only Friday that he was informed it belonged to Hill. He wanted to deliver the bicycle up to the po- lice, and was told to bring 1t to the prop- erty clerk’s office. i3 e ee————— Morton Draying and Warehouse Co.

T think they y an- | will begin nouncés that the sessions August 16 and that they will continue up to August 25. The programme embraces | the treatment of topics as follc “The.Desirability of Recording the Depth of S I"; ““The De Method | W | Technic | Boverton Redwe ! t | Boring,” by A Vienna; “The | American Petroleum Industry,” by Professor | Chandler of New York: ‘“The Examination of Ammerican Petroleum,” by Professor -Mabery | olid Hydrocarbons in Pe- | thods ¢ Cleveland, O.; * troleum Residuals,” by Professor Zaliozeckl | | of Lemb, Che Preparation of Lubricating | Oils by Means of Concentration,” by Mr. Bers | of Alsace; “‘The Util fon of Petroleum Pro- by A. Adiasse- cts for Preserving Tin ¥ | dh £On Borneo ONl,” by Paul Dvorkovitz. While the prospectors for petroleum are | seeking for indications of oil from Shasta %o San Diego, some suggestions taken | foom a pamphlet written by A. S. Cooper, State Mineralogist of California, may be acceptable. “Surface indications of the presence of petroleum,” writes Mr, Cooper, ‘‘consist of unaltered rocks, white-leached shales and sandstones, shales burned to redness, fumaroles, mineral springs and the residuc from mineral springs, such as s etc., subsidences, natural g P petroleum oil and maltha, porous rocks saturated with bitumen, cracks in shale | and other rocks filled or partly filled with | bitumen, black silicitied shales. | “The prospector should confine his at- tention to unaltered rocks. The color of the bitumens where they exist near the surface of the carth is black, bluish black and dirty brown. The bitumen can be de- termined from coal, vegetable deposits, iron, manganese and other minerals that | closely resemble them by the following | tests: By its bituminous odor and taste; | | | by melting in the flame of a match or can- dle with a bituminous odor (iron and man- ganese do not fuse and coal and vegetable matter burn without fusion); by dissolving in bisulphide of carbon, chloroform and turpentine. It would be well in prospect- ing for oil to carry a small bottle of one of these solvents and another small bottle in which the substance to be determined is placed, in a comminuted form, and agi- tated. If a brown or black solution is | formed the substance under examination | is_bitumen. “All streams, pools and other bodies of water should be carefully inspected. If oil | is present it will float upon the surface, | showing prismatic colors. Compounds of | fron floating upon the surface frequently show these iridescent colors. Whether this | scum is oil or an iron compound can be | determined by stirring the surface of | the water with a circular motion. If iron | the scum will break into irregular frag- | ments; if oil it will form bands of color. In other words, the iron compound seems ot and break like a solid, whereas the scum acts like a liquid. Frequently gases are seen to ascend from the bottom of streams and pools of | water. Carburetted hydrogen, or natural gas, is a far_greater indication of the | Bresence of the bitumens than is sul- | phuretted hydrogen or carbonic acid gas. | Consequently, it is frequently important to determine between these gases. Car- buretted hydrogen burns with a vellow. flame, whereas sulphuretted yvdrogen burns with a bluish flame. If carburetted hydrogen is found it is a nearly certain sign that somewhere in the formation liquid bitumens exist, although they may be distant from the place where the %as issues. “All outcrops of the stratified rocks should be examined. There are generally better exposures of these rocks on the sides of streams, canyons and gulches than elsewhere. The surface of the ground should also be examined. If any brown or black material is seen in the seams of the rocks or saturated porous strata, the test for bitumens, with sol- vents, as described, should be made. If natural gas or bitumen is found upon the surface of shale, there is strong prob- ability that the bitumen has ascended vertically through these rocks from porous strata below, as the avenues for the migration of the ‘bitumens are usually seams and cracks in the shale, the shals itself being impervious to the flow of the bitumens, especially the liquid ones. But when porous sand is reached, or when the outerop is porous sand, it can be presum- ed that the bitumens reached the surface through the sand. Especially is this liable to be true if the sandstones stand at a high angle with the horizon. ““Outcrops and anticlines can be follow- ed from outside property into the prop- -erty behlfi examined and the structure be considered sufficiently well demonstrated. so as to justify a person in drilling a well for ofl, even if bitumens were absent from the surface of the land upon which the well is to be drilled and the exposures of the strata are but slight. The strike of the anticlines and outcrops can be determined by a pocket compass. “If indications of the presence of bitu- men are sufficient to justify it, a topo- graphical map of the presumed ofl terri- tory should be made before making a cross-section of the rock structure. All indications should be closely examined and thoroughly studied. Even with the greatest attentlon given to these details efore selecting a place to drill a well, there is danger that the lower parts of the bituminous strata encountered in the well may contain water in place of gas 2nd ofl, or may be calcified or silicified in- stead of being bituminized, or that water has entered the outcrop of the strata at higher altitudes and ascended through the formation, floating the oil tg the surface or carrying the same to theother dip of the anticline. ~Theory and observations cannot be perfect, but are far better than e lortage of ofl cars is a serious ADVERTISEMENTS.
