ILE INVESTMENT. Extensive Operations of an Oil Monoply Rival ing the Standard Oi- lCompany , 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.

lCompany ,

NEW YORK , Septemb2r23la. m-

.A.

veiy powerful combination ofwestern capitalists had obtainedcontrol of the oil producing country-of

-

California discovered up to thepresent time , which consists of asection of the Coast Range Mountains ,

five hundred and fifty miles in length ,stretching from Santa Cruz to SantaBarbara , and including two hundredthousand acres , for four years. Tliework of examining the region by ck-

pertfl-

has been going on and is nowcompleted. Every spot giving indi-cations

¬

of oil hcs been secured. A-part of the regionwas governmentland ) and that part u! it has been ,leased for twenty ygars from farmersand ranchtS ownira , who had obtainedpossession during the last twelveyears. Three Jlwta of tno oilbearing region have been partly de-

veloped¬

by various men , and thepresant monopoly is the result of sue-ctsjive

-

combinations of the originalowners , 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 ; and0. P. Schofield. They have formedthe Pacific Coast Oil Company , andunder its control the California oilcountry promises to bo one of thegreat important and producing regionsof the world. Daring the last sixmonths rapid stridoi have bs n m.ide-in the developed region ; wells h.ivebeen sunk , which shnw excellent re-

sults¬

, niicliinery bought , works andrefineries constructed , nipe luies laid ,

barrel and disk factories built , andwith Unlimited capital , eiionnou *

negotiations are effected for theequipment in every retpjct of agigantic business enterprise , which isprobably destined to exert a stronginfluence upon the Pennsylvania dis-tncts and upon all existing oilmarkets. 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 hasbsen supposed , thattho Standard OilCompany was putting capital into theenterprise , but this is not true. Thefull facts can now ba given : Fouryears ajo , iwo praoiiual drillersof Pennsylvania , went to Loa An-geloa

-

, in the San Fernando Moun-tains

¬

, whore , in Pico Canyon , nSpaniard had discovered a spot Whereoil waa oozing out of the aumco ofthe ground. They erected spring poloriga and sunk two wells , one of "thembeing 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 , thespecific gravity of which was fwrty.They put up a small refinery having acapacity of forty barrels at Lj'ouaStation, oil thD Southern PacificRailroad , and carted the crudematerial over a roush road to tbe-refinery. . The results obUmol were70 per centum illuminating oil , 10 perc3ut , naphtha , 10 per cent, lubri-cating

¬

, and 10 per cent waste. Thiswas a bonanza , and in a few monthsit reached the ears of capitalist ? , whosecured the district and formed theCalifornia Star Oil Company. Theybrought all the necessary machineryfrom the east and begin to drill inthe sama improved fashion , as ispracticed in Bradford and other dis-

tricts¬

in Pennsylvania. At a depthof six hundred and fifty"cot , in Pico Canyon , flowingwellc are found , which yieldedeighty barrels a day. Those wells up-to the present time have yielded40,000 barrels of crude oil , which hasbeen sold at an average price of a lit-ile

-

more than §2 a barrel. It savethe same results as the original flow-

ing¬

well , ani as soon as the regionhad been partly developed , and itwas found that trere was a largo bodyof oil there , legal difficulties inter-rupted

¬

the development of the coun-try.

¬

. The men controlling the threedeveloped districts have been workingtogether pressing on the work aiquickly as possible. An immense1,000 barrel refinery with a tankage-of treble its cipacity has been createdat Alemada Point , on San Franciscobay ; ship docks are in front of it onthe bay, and railroad connectionshave been made ; pipe lines have beenhid to conduct the oil from the welh-to the railroads , and these railroadsafford ample facilities fcr shipping theoil anywhere. A short lime ajo Hel ¬

ton , Tevis anl Schofiald bought theentire stock of the company and nowhave 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 drilledwas a fifty barrel pumping well inSanta Cruz district , which was strucklast week. The company now hassixteen wells down , in the region ,which yield 300 barrels per day. Theaverage percentum of illuminating oilgained from crude oil is 75 per cent ,which is a large average. Tlio homeimrket at present absorbs all the oilthe country can produce , but thaamount produced will soon run be-

yond¬

the capacity of the home mar-ket

, which includes California andOregon.
