ILE INVESTMENT.
Extensive Operations of an Oil
Monoply Rival ing the
Standard Oil
Company ,
NEW YORK , Septemb2r23la. m.
A veiy powerful combination of
western capitalists had obtained
control of the oil producing country-
of California discovered up to the
present time , which consists of a
section of the Coast Range Mountains ,
five hundred and fifty miles in length ,
stretching from Santa Cruz to Santa
Barbara , and including two hundred
thousand acres , for four years. Tlie
work of examining the region by ck-
pertfl has been going on and is now
completed. Every spot giving indi
cations of oil hcs been secured. A
part of the regionwas government
land ) and that part u ! it has been ,
leased for twenty ygars from farmers
and ranchtS ownira , who had obtained
possession during the last twelve
years. Three Jlwta of tno oil
bearing region have been partly de
veloped by various men , and the
presant monopoly is the result of sue-
ctsjive combinations of the original
owners , who finally eold their intefcsi
to three leading men , C. N. Fenton ,
Lloyd Tevls , the president of Wells ,
Fargo & Co.'s Expr ss and Bank ; and
0. P. Schofield. They have formed
the Pacific Coast Oil Company , and
under its control the California oil
country promises to bo one of the
great important and producing regions
of the world. Daring the last six
months rapid stridoi have bs n m.ide
in the developed region ; wells h.ive
been sunk , which shnw excellent re
sults , niicliinery bought , works and
refineries constructed , nipe luies laid ,
barrel and disk factories built , and
with Unlimited capital , eiionnou *
negotiations are effected for the
equipment in every retpjct of a
gigantic business enterprise , which is
probably destined to exert a strong
influence upon the Pennsylvania dis
tncts and upon all existing oil
markets. For a number of months ,
rumors of this immense western in
terest have floated across the country ,
and various reports have been circu
lated among business men. It has
bsen supposed , thattho Standard Oil
Company was putting capital into the
enterprise , but this is not true. The
full facts can now ba given : Four
years ajo , iwo praoiiual drillers
of Pennsylvania , „ went to Loa An-
geloa , in the San Fernando Moun
tains , whore , in Pico Canyon , n
Spaniard had discovered a spot Where
oil waa oozing out of the aumco of
the ground. They erected spring polo
"
riga and sunk two wells , one of "them
being one hundred and fifty feet deep ,
and the other two hundred feet depp ;
and were rewarded with a daily pro
duction of thirty barrels of oil , the
specific gravity of which was fwrty.
They put up a small refinery having a
capacity of forty barrels at Lj'oua
Station , oil thD Southern Pacific
Railroad , and carted the crude
material over a roush road to tbe
refinery. The results obUmol were
70 per centum illuminating oil , 10 per
c3ut , naphtha , 10 per cent , lubri
cating , and 10 per cent waste. This
was a bonanza , and in a few months
it reached the ears of capitalist ? , who
secured the district and formed the
California Star Oil Company. They
brought all the necessary machinery
from the east and begin to drill in
the sama improved fashion , as is
practiced in Bradford and other dis
tricts in Pennsylvania. At a depth
of six hundred and fifty
"cot , in Pico Canyon , flowing
wellc are found , which yielded
eighty barrels a day. Those wells up
to the present time have yielded
40,000 barrels of crude oil , which has
been sold at an average price of a lit-
ile more than § 2 a barrel. It save
the same results as the original flow
ing well , ani as soon as the region
had been partly developed , and it
was found that trere was a largo body
of oil there , legal difficulties inter
rupted the development of the coun
try. The men controlling the three
developed districts have been working
together pressing on the work ai
quickly as possible. An immense
1,000 barrel refinery with a tankage
of treble its cipacity has been created
at Alemada Point , on San Francisco
bay ; ship docks are in front of it on
the bay , and railroad connections
have been made ; pipe lines have been
hid to conduct the oil from the welh
to the railroads , and these railroads
afford ample facilities fcr shipping the
oil anywhere. A short lime ajo Hel
ton , Tevis anl Schofiald bought the
entire stock of the company and now
have sole control of the business.
New rigs for drilling are now in pro
cess of construction , and the dovol-
opement of the country will be push
ed as quickly as money can push it.
The last well which has been drilled
was a fifty barrel pumping well in
Santa Cruz district , which was struck
last week. The company now has
sixteen wells down , in the region ,
which yield 300 barrels per day. The
average percentum of illuminating oil
gained from crude oil is 75 per cent ,
which is a large average. Tlio home
imrket at present absorbs all the oil
the country can produce , but tha
amount produced will soon run be
yond the capacity of the home mar
ket , which includes California and
Oregon.

THE WKONGMAN. .
A Homesteader Who Took
Another Man's Letter and
Cash from the Office.
But as a Forger Waa Not a
Success.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning an
old man named Abraham Kightinler ,
who was brought in Saturday evenit-g
from Fort Edwards , Neb. , by Deputy
U. S. Marshal Ifci'1 ' , was brought be
fore TJ. S. Commissioner Watson 3J.
Smith , on the charge of taking mail
from the postoftice that waa not for
him , of opening the flirae and spprb-
priating the money to-his owtrnae.
After the examination the prisoner was
committed to jiil in default of SuOO
bail to appear at the next term of the
dutrict court.
Ki htlinler waa a homesteader who
lived nmr St Edw.irds for some time.
A. M. Hettinger wai a railroad con
tractor employed in thatneighborhcod
but who did not no to St. Edwarda
very often for his m ill. A letter came
directed to the Litter and the post
master not knowing any
auch person , but fancying
a resemblance in the name to that ot
the homesteader , showed the letter to
Kightinler and asked if it waa hia.
The Irttter took the letter , opened it
and replied that it WHS all right. The
letter contained a draft in favor of
Hotlingcr , from John McDanicls , a
banker of Atlantic , Iowa. This draft
the homesteader appropriated to hia
own use , and in the attempt to
reali/e on it , he forged the name in
so bungling .1 manner aa to lead to his
detection and arrest before ho had se
cured the monoy. Ho ia quite an old
man to bet ! n such a career , but we
understand ho is single , and he could
not perhaps begin younger Ho haa
no very good reputation , and it will
probib'y ' go hard with him.
