Petroleum Resources and Industries 

 in the State, due to the development of some deep 

 flowing wells at the west end of the Coyote Hills 

 anticline, north of Fullerton. The district com- 

 prises the Whittier, Coyote Hills, Puente and Olinda 

 (Fullerton) fields, and includes 8150 acres of 

 proven ground. The wells range in depth from 

 600 to 5725 feet; the gravity of the oil varies from 

 15° to 33° Beaume (0.9655 to 0.8589 sp. gr.). The 

 initial production of the wells, of which there are 

 now 544 producing, has ranged as high as 10,000 

 barrels in the Coj^ote Hills field; the average for 

 the entire district in November, 1914, was 73.9 

 barrels per well. The oil occurs in sands of the 

 Vaqueros, Monterey, and lower Fernando forma- 

 tions, all of Miocene age. The structure ranges 

 from typical anticlines to overturned anticlines, 

 fault zones and faulted monoclines.
