Bulletin . nta Feterminates a branch at Olinda, in the midst of the eastern group of wells.

The structure of the Whittier oil field is sharply distin-guished from that of other fields of California, in that oil is here pro-duced along, and indeed in. zones of much displacement and fracturing,and in very steeply inclined strata. Superficially this may seem to be thesame condition encountered along the Pico-Wiley fault in Newhall, butin the latter case the location of the productive strip does not, as inWhittier, depend on the presence of the fault, but on the contrary thewells drilled into this fault zone at Newhall have uniformly proven verysmall producers, or quite Town of Whittier; from Commonwealth Lease.
