Excerpt from Oil and Gas Yielding Formations of Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties, Vol. 1 To Hon. J. J. Crawford, State Mineralogist: Dear Sir: In accordance with your instructions of September 9, 1894, I have investigated such portions of the oil-yielding districts on the west side of the Coast Range, and south of the Sierra Madre range, as has been possible in the time at command. I hope to complete our investigations during the next two years. In this bulletin the following oil-fields are described: In Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles City and the Puente oil-fields. In Ventura County, the Sespe district and the oil districts north of Santa Paula. In Santa Barbara, the Summerland oil-field and the petroleum-yielding formations in the southeast corner of the county. I speak only of localities wherein I have obtained geological evidence concerning the relation of the exposed rocks to oil-yielding strata. Some of the streams and mountain peaks mentioned in this bulletin are not shown on the Land Office maps. In such instances, the names used are those by which such streams and peaks are best known locally. The facts stated, and deductions made, concerning the different localities mentioned, speak for the time at which such localities were visited. Allow me to take this opportunity of returning thanks to the following gentlemen who have rendered valuable assistance in the work which is the subject of this bulletin: General K. H. Wade, G. W. Parsons, E. Wright, County Surveyor J. B. Hawley, C.E., the officers of the Ix>s Angeles City Waterworks, J. S. Mailman, President, and others of the Capital Crude Oil Co., L. Stewart, President, and others of the Union Oil Co., K. C. Garbutt, the officers of the Las Angeles Oil Exchange, Messrs. Dohcny & Con non - (all of Los Angeles), G. C. Power, County Surveyor of Ventura County, A. S. Cooper, C.E., of Santa Barbara, H. T. Donlton and II. L. Williams, of Summerland, Santa Barbara County, and many other gentlemen of Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties.
