Her passengers . were V. C. | Viry, John Ray, C. A. Roccassero, J. | Frodsham, H. H. Beechner, J. C. Smith and R. W. Smith. Besides these there were five Chinese in the steerage in tran- sit for Hongkong.

Making the Appraisemnt. The method of appraisement is very carefully defined, and as this is the only point upon which there appears to be any present marked difference of opinion the essential provisions of the agreement in this regard are given in substance. First the value of the land shall be fixed. The value of the improvements, such as wells, pipe lines, drilling rigs, pumps, water rights, etc., shall be fixed at_the' amount of the present estimated cost of reproducing them. Three compe- tent men, who are already in the fleld, form the appraisement committee. Each company pledges itself by its directors to accept the appraisement made by the committee, or 1o show to the satlsfaction of the signers of the agreement, collect- ively, why the appraisement should not be acdepted. The decision of two-thirds in value of the signing oil companies, ac- cording to the amount in the aggregate of the appraisement, shall be sufficient to arbitrate and settle any disagreement and controversy, and a decision shall be bind- ing upon the whole body of signers. The appraisement shall determine the price to be pald in consideration of the transfer of all appraised property to the new corporation. The payment for the property will be made in shares of the capital stock of the new corporation, esti- mated at the par value thereof excepting in the case of contracts for the sale of ofl, for which there are special provisions. Arranging for Contracts. The plan concerning such contracts is in full as follows: The subscribers agree that the cost of pro- ducing ofl or the present market price of oll is fifteen (15) cents per barrel, and that all amounts received for oil delivered on contract by the new company beyond such price shall be paid to the present owner of such contracts respectively in cash at the several times when the money is actually received upon such con- tracts and the owners respectively of such contracts shall transfer and assign the same to the new corporation and shall accept pay- ment therefor in the aBove method. Some other provisions of much import- ance are also given in full, as follows: The instruments of sale shall be deposited in escrow with the Union Trust Company of San Francisco, to be delivered to the new cor- poration on or before the expiration of Seven months from the date of the issuance of the certificate of incorporation upon the delivery of the shares of the capital stock of the new corporation to the amount required in each in- stance, accompanied with a certificate under the hand of the Sccretary of the new corpora- tlon with its corporate seal affixed, certifying that the directors of the new corporation have demanded the possession of said instruments of sale, This ‘agreement shall be subject to amend- ment, addition, revision or cancellation upon the concurrence of the parties subscribed here- to owning two-thirds in value of the appraise- ment hereinbefore provided, to be made upon the several properties of the subscribers, which appraisements are to be made forthwith, and upon such two-third? in value concurring the whole number subscribing these presents shall be bound as though all had concurred. Situation Is Reviewed. ““The conditions will be worse than they are now,” said Mr. Porter yesterday, “if by any chance this attempt to combine the producers should fail. The price of oil would be lower now than it is if it were not fot this movement. Our primary purpose is to take over the productive flelds in the Kern River and McKittrick districts. Over 8 per cent of the Kern River fleld owners have already signed the agreement submitted. We are taking in only producing companies, the desire being not to load down at the start with unproductive iérritory. There are about 5000 acres of demonstrated oil land in the Kern River district. Other lands may be taken in later :f necessary. ‘“We expect to issue only sufficient capi- tal stock at first to cover the appraised value of the properties that come in at the start. We might begin with issuing $25,000,000 ‘of stock; that depends upon the appraised value of these properties. The land will be appraised at a low value. My present idea {3 that the aggregate ap- praisement of the productive properties of the Kern River district may be some- thing more thun $30,000,000. The produc- tion of that district 1 year was 8,000,000 barrels, approximately. The companies that have signed the preliminary agree- ment have on their hands contracts call- ing for the delivery of 4,000,000 barrels of oil per annum, and the average price is in excess of 25 cents per barrel, although there are contracts as low as 25 cents.’” Economy in Combination. Mr. Porter spoke of many wells that are not pumping and of some companies that are storing oil, “If all the properties were combined in one company.” said Mr. Porter, “I don’t think that they would have to do any development work for twelve months. After that possibly it would be necessary to resume develop- ment. Eventually all the oil that can be produced ‘will be in demand. It depends upon the oil producers what they will get for the oil. If they continue in their present competitign, one against another, they will have td take not over 25 or 30 cents per barrel. If they combine they ought to get 50 to 60 cents per barrel. “The consumer would not be hurt by paying the higher price. Three and one- half barrels of oil are equivalent to a ton of coal in the production of heat.” All Producers Concerned. Mr. Porter does not expect that all pro- ducing companies will be taken in at the start. Eventually the oil producers of the entire State may find it to their advan- tage to come in, he says. The only or- ganization of oil producers now existing includes the Los Angeles city field solely. ““The cost of development work if the in- terests were concentrated would be not over one-half of that now incurred. Wells would be put down where the greatest output could be reached and the cost would be at a minimum. The marketing of oil would also be conducted more cheaply, for it would not be necessary to support so many agencies as now exist. Instead of five or six parallel pipe lines in a district, one line woulu do the work.” The appraisers now in the field are rated by Mr. Porter as experts. They are Ar- thur L. Bell, Willlam Mulholland and Bernard Bienenfeld. They have no prop- erty in any of the fields. They are all ergineers and all have knowledge of ofl territory and all have been in the oil busi- ness. They are looking into and verify- ing the records of producing companies; are considering the depths of sand at va- rious localities and looking into all aspects of the properties concerned. “The largest producing companies,” Mr. Porter said in conclusion, *“‘are the ones most active in trying to bring about a combination of interests. They see no way, unless conditions change. to pay div- idends to their stockholders.” SEEKING RIGHT OF WAY. Kings County People Are Approached by Agents of Pipe Line. HANFORD. Sept. 5.—Agents are now in Kings County securing a right of way for an oil pipe line from Bakersfleld to tidewater, presumably ®Antioch. J. W. McCord, who owns a farm in the Dallas district, some twelve miles south of Han- ford, was approached to-day by an agent and was offered a small sum for a right of way for the pipe line across eighty acres of his farm. Mr. McCord accepted .the proposition and signed an agreement. The agent inquired where he could find other men from whom he wished to se- cure rights of way, and stated that the | line would start at Bakersfield and run to Corcoran Junction, in this county, from which point it would take a north- westerly course and cross Kings River below the Kings River bridge at Le- moore and then proceed to tidewater. A branch line will be built to connect with the Coalinga field and also to other fields west of here when they are developed, while branches will run from Bakerstield out into the Kern River, Sunset, McKit- trick and Temblor districts. The line is to be of eight-inch plfae. and the ee- ment is that the pipe is to be placed un- der ground at least one and a half feet. Who is behind the pipe line proposition it is impossible to find out.* MecCord's right of way was deeded to a man by the name b:: Thugton.l The pm?fi“l ‘must have 'n progressing very quietly, as oieCia the Arst heard of anythi Vethg done to secure rights of way, although ipe line sro]ects from both the Kern snunty and Coalinga oil flelds have long been talked of. That a pipe line to tide- water will be a great advantage to oil producers there can be no doubt, as the cost_of railroad transportation is doh:fi much to retard development work, an the complaint made to the Railroad Com- missioners appears likely to result in no “rellef. \ ADVERTISEMENTS.
