Large Prices Continue to Be Paid for Lands in the Well- Defined Petroleum Districts. G Sixty-three mi'lion barrels of oil, ap- proximately, were produced in the United States last year. California’s large in- crease advanced the total appreciably. The value of all petroleum taken from wells in this country in 1900 is estimated at $75,000,000 in round figures. At least 9,000,000 barrels more may be set down to the record of 190 than could be hoasted by the preceding year. The Appalachian district, which includes New York, Penn- ‘sylvanlm West Virginia and part of Ohio, produced 36,500,000 barrels. The Lima oil fields of Ohic and Indiana may be cred- ited with nearly 22,000,000 barrels. Col rado, Kansas, Texas and Wyoming to- gether make up 1,500,000 or so, Texas hav- ing a score of 500,000 and Colorado 300,000. In no part of the country have develop- ments had the same significance as in California, because of the price of coal as fuel on the Pacific Coast. The Standard Ofl Company is engaged in’ laying pipe lines in the Kern River district. Coincidentally the Producers” Association is beginning to do business, with the purpose of handling all the oil it can control through one channel as a means of sustaining prices. The oil men throughout the State are watching the developments commercially in the hern River fleld. A report is sent out from Bakersfield that offers have been made to pay an advance over previous prices of 3 cents as a result of the forma- uon of the Producers’ Association. Com- panies are being urged to join the asso- ciation, and many have done so. ‘I'ne men who are laying the pipe line for the Stan- dard Oil Company came from Ohio. Something like 1500 oil locations were filed in Santa Barbara on the second day of the new century. Fifty persons made all the fillngs. The indications of interest have not been confined to any locality. Within a few days 16,000 acres have been filed upon in the Carriso Creek section in San Diego County. Fully 75,000 acres have been taken up in that locality. A more marked indication of confidenca in the richness of the California petroleum deposits in exploited fields has been af- forded within the past fortnight by large prices paid for producing properties. Ac- cording toc the Bakersfield Californian the land involved in the Reed crude oil deal brought $3000 per acre, the total price be- ing $430,000. Eastern papers are paying a great deal of attentlon to California pe- troleum, which is the subject of scores of editorials. From these facts it appears ihe interest is much wider than local and also that at home an appreciation of tha value of oil strikes is growing keener. Speaking for the mineral claimants to all lands in Southern California the Los Angeles Herald says The frequent reports coming from Washing- tor as to the attitude of Secretary Hitchcock of the Interior Department un the scripper cases, and the repeated declarations that he is likely to render a decision favorable to the Serippers, has not caused any serious depres- slon_among the oil men, who rest their c on its merits in the hands of officials who ars not presumed to be susceptible to “influence’’ at the hands of an cxpensively maintained lobby. The intimation that the ofl mex are spathetic and cafeless in the matter is far from the truth, as a close watch is kept on etery turn of the case The authorities at Washington are as familiar xith the various phases of the question as are the producers in-Kern County or Los Angeles, and on this fact alone the oil men base their Belief that a decision will be rendered by Secretary Hitch- cock sustaining previous decisions om the samae question. The real status of the contention between the ofl miners and the scrippers, up to_date, is that the case decided by the United States Circuit Judge, Ross, in September last, to wit, the Cosmos Exploration Company (2 Canfield et al, was a complete victory for ofl miners, the court In that case recomme: ing that the scrippers be prosecuted for t perjuries committed in connection with their land selection In the ca of Aetna Petro- leum Company vs. Henry T. Cripps et al., also Lefore United States Circuit Judge Ross, the language of the court was still more strongly in favor of the oil men. The recent decision by the Land Office in the case of Kern River Oil Company and C. W. Clark, Mr. Hermann's decision was exactly in line with the decisions of the United States Circuit Court above, be- irg also a complete victory for the ofl men. In view of these decisions but one result is probable, and that against the scrippers. A somewhat astonishing feature of the prospecting for of] has been the discovery of vast supplies of subterranean water, which if properly utllized would redeem thousands of acres of lands not hitherto considered to bc valuable for agricultural urposes. A correspondent writing from ta Barbara tells of two failures to strike oil in the Casitas Valley, just across the Santa Barbara County liné In Ventura County. The second failure to locate ofl develo a fine arteslan well, “which will furnish water for stock upon a part of the rancho which was fine pasture land but lacked a good water supply.” This has been a quite common experfence. In- stead of a scarcity of water in California the ofl men have discovered that in many localities there is too much for their pur- poses. Thus, indirectly also, the oil men will confer wealth on_ California. 1 has been struck 500 feet off shore at Summeriand, in the ocean, which yields about twenty-five barrels per day. In Carbon Canyonm, Orange County, a well is resolutely headed for a de; t‘ of 1500 feet. The report is given ou? that three light stratas of ofl have already been encountercd. There are several firm bellevers evidently In the view of State Mineralogist Cooper, that far down in the earth will be found not only a greater upply of oil than at a shallower depth but also that a finer and higher priced quality may be reached by deeper drilling. Bakerefleld correspondent of the Los Angeles Herald hears that the Kern Ofl Company secured $1250 per acre for a large amount of land sold to R. C. Forum of Michigan, the total amount Involved be- ing about $200,000. Tulare Ofl Company complains of having been jumped by the Eclipse Com- pany, and has brought an injunction suit to prevent its continuing to carry on the work of drilling for oll. The claim is lo- n_gd In sectlon 28, 3-22, at McKittrick. e Oakdale Learer reports that the hills in the vicgly ot Orange Blossom colony, between kdale and Knights Ferry, !l('nnllhus County, will be prospected for oll. The Morgan Hill Times says that ofl is seeping out of the ground on the Schmer- ber ranch, at the junction of Lick and Alum Rock avenues, and there is consid- erable excitement In that neighborhood in conseq ce. The mwm Telegraph says that thers afre ofl indications a short distance west of Folsom: A short distance west of Folsom the bed- rock of slate and granite stands almost on and the vast chasm caused when it was uptilted has been fllled with dotritus by the erosion 03':9 higher levels during countless ages great vall as we know it was 'B"-rl‘hn There 1a olf under a greater por- of this mass of debris there is sufficient but whether it can be found in com- mefeial quantities at all points is a question that only the drill will reveal The 1d Californian reports that the opera to the northwest of the Kern River fleld have without exception had a great deal of trouble in getting down owing to the strata of blue mud met with, necessitating much & Con- bas ruined the ing.
