Newhall oil boom follows early gold strike site
In Newhall California the first gold discovery area now yields a thriving oil boom. An independent operator struck a well about 5500 feet deep in a residential district two weeks ago, flowing 1000 to 3000 barrels daily of 42.6 gravity oil. Drilling rigs rise, leases flood in, and property owners report bonuses up to 500000 with payments as high as 5000 an acre. The Community Church board votes to lease, and a rig rises on two lots donated by the Newhall dugout of the American Legion. The discovery well was drilled in the yard of restaurateur M. MacDougall by R. W. Sherman.
