Daily Courier.) After attaining a depth greater than any other oil well in the state of feet--the well of the Traders Oil company in the upper Ventura valley has finally abandoned and the rig has been sold to the State Consolidated Oil company for use on the latter company's newest location in the Las Posas section. The well of the Traders company was started about six years ago, and much difficulty was experienced in drilling the exceptional depth that was finally reached before the promoters were willing to abandon hopes of a strike.

The nearest approach to the Traders well in point of depth was a we 1 drilled on the Balcom place in lov er Kardsdale about five years ago by a Pasadena capitalist. This well is supposed to bavf a depth of over 4,000 feet, with only a trace of oil showing in the sump hole as the different formations were drilled through. This well, like the Trader hole, was abandoned only after the smallest casing was sunk to the greatest possible depth. The company had faith in the territory as being oil bearing and how near they came to hitting it is evidenced by the strikes on So'ith Mountain, but a few miles distance.

The work which is going on has been made possible through the settlement of the controversies between the Edison company and the cities of Pasadena and Los Angeles. In addition the merger of the Edison company with the Pacific Light and Power corporation and its subsidiaries, the Mt. Whitney Power company and the Ventura company, has been a powerful factor in this development. At the same time in a spirit of cooperation, the Edison company has put into effect a proflt-sharmer plan by which its patrons and the general public as well as its officers and em- ployes are to share in this saving and in the future development of the company, and the securities of the company are being rapidly subscribed on this' profit-sharing basis. The huge dams that impound tne water of Huntington Lake are being raised 31 feet, which will increase the amount of water impounded 73 per cent, and form a lake containing 90,200 acre-feet of water.

To do this work 130,000 barrels of cement, or 700 car loads were required. More than 1,000 men are employed on this work. The increase in the height of this dam will furnish water power to equal the use of 600,000 barrels of oil a year, which it $1.40 per will result in a saving of approximately $1,000,000 a year. The increase of the height of the dam will permit at some future date the installation of penstocks for additional units of 16,500 kilowats each in both power plants now constructed, or a total of 66,000 kilcwats, or horse power. With the 85,000 horse power already created, this will give 170,000 horse ing transferred to Imperial.

Located in the high Sierras, 7,000 feet above the sea, 75 miles east of he water for this power is confined in a natural basin live miles long and a mile wide by three dams in which 35,000 car loads of cement has already been used, and one dam is already higher than any offide 'building in Los Angeles. Already two 2-story power houses are in operation at a cost of $600,000 each, and already five miles of tunnels, 12 feet in diameter, have been built through solid granite. The power transmission cables already in use took 8,000,000 pounds of aluminum, the entire output of this metal in the United States for a year, while 14,500 tons of steel were used in building the transmission towers. The two water drops in use are 2,180 and 1,850 feet respectively for the power plants already built, and the water in these tubes at the top of the fall enters pipes 9 feet in diameter, and comes out through 4-inch nozzles, striking the water wheels with a force of approximately 1,000 pounds to the square inch, or about 200 pounds greater than the pressure of exploding nitroglycerin.

The complete power project in the Big Creek district, as planned, calls for two more power houses, through which some water will pass and itt addition the San Joaquin river will be diverted through nine-mile tunnel into Big Creek, just below power house No. 2, where a concrete dam will be built. The water from th river and that from the tail race of power house No. 2 will be confined by a dam and turned through a tunnel four and one-half miles long to the third power house There the water will have a drop of 1,300 feet. After the water has spent its force in the third power house it will pasl on through a tunnel four miles long, to power house No.
