OIL FIELD THAT 1 BANDIT TROD IS’ WORTH BILLIONS Kettleman Hills Area in California Is Bonanza District. RV NORRIS LEAP t nltfd Press Staff < orrrspondrnt KETTLEMAN HILLS, Cal. April 26 —The “proving up of what geologists say is the world's greatest known oil structure, Kettleman Hills field, also has "proven up” one of late's most fantastic jokes. The butt of the joke was Joaquin ’ lurieta, dead this half century, and was one of those queer tricks that, >ta man rob for a penny and miss I a SI, OOO bill. Murieta, brilliant, colorful Mexi- j an bandit of California's gold rush iays, roamed these western hills in earch of loot. And he thought he was doing things on the grand scale. 1 fie scorned pursuing a prize unless u promised $30,000 to $50,000 in gold. Brings in $25,000 Daily And all the time, beneath the feet >[ the horses he rode, there lay dormant wealth that would have made poor old Croc.su: eyes pop out if his head. One single well, the Milham dis- ; ■every, owned by the Mexican Sear ard Petroleum Company, since last let, 5, lias produced $20,000 to $50,•o worth of oil daily! s hat is just one well. Another, j ' r General Petroleum, has .since i •tunc in. It lias "proved up" the in demonstrating that t>>e esti-; i -ucs of geologists were .sound. It; ii ounce:, almost a.s much as the Mil- ! lam well. Would Pay War Debt But, more important, it has given i nine idea of the field’s real value, j What has been termed a "mod- j t." c timate places the oil values )> ncatli these hills at enough to pay >■ f the European war debt to the iefed States! Said in another way, it hardly is ! css than the total wealth of the j nited States at the time Murieta j .\as leading his famous bandits! Standard Oil’s 12,000 acres, alone, j lave been estimated as worth more ! nan $3,000,000,000! There is enough j iil beneath their acreage, engineers ; almost literally to flood the j Jnited States with oil. The leaf butterfly of India folds ts wings and assumes a shape so ike the leaf of the bush it visits hat it is hard to distinguish.

April 26.—Ralph Delbridge, $13,000 a year master of ceremonies failed to get a single laugh from the audience in Judge Joseph Sabath's court of domestic relations. His former wife. Ruth, complained that he offered her only $lO v a week alimony. She charged he earned $13,000 a year mastering ceremonies and had an additional income from song writing. “That's true,” replied Delbridge. “But think of my public. It requires me' to wear anew suit every

day. And new shoes. And shaves and haircuts and massages. “And the song market's dull,” he continued sadly. “I can write ’em but they won't sell. Say your honor, would you like to hear me sing?” “No.” replied Judge Sabath. "Pay your wife S2O a week.” NEW SIGNALS ORDERED Fourteen Stop and Go Signs Placed by Safety Board.
