Richfield Finds
Good Oil Flow
In Alaska Well
LOS ANGELES, (Ah-—- Richfield
Oil Corp. reported Monday drill
ers on a well in Alaska encoun
tered oil sand between 11,140 and
11,170 feet.
The company said that from
the 30-foot interval tested the
well flowed at an estimated rate
exceeding 200 barrels daily of 31
gravity oil.
The well is Richfield’s Swan
son River unit No. 1, the unit be
ing on the Kenai Peninsula about
40 miles southwest of Anchorage.
The unit totals 71,600 acres of
federal land of which Richfield
owns 89Vt percent and is the unit
operator.
Drilling is going ahead on the
No. 1 well.
“Alaska has long been known
as a petroliferous region,” said
Charles S. Jone, Richfield presi
dent. “Many oil shows have been
encountered in wells drilled in
other areas of Alaska, altho no
oil of consequence has been pro
duced to date.
“It is not possible from the
present status of the Swanson
River unit No. 1 well to appraise
the significance of the test.”
Wall street sources today at
tributed a substantial rise in Rich
field stock to news of the oil dis
covery near Anchorage.
On Monday Richfield common
jumped $5.50 a share to $73.75 on j
a turnover of 4,200 shares on the
New York Stock Exchange.
Richfield stock is closely held
with two major oil firms—Cities
Service Co. and Sinclair Oil Co.
holding the lion’s share.
2 Robber Gangs
Meet Seeking to
Rob Same Store
LONDON (j?)—It was a distinct
ly embarrassing moment when
two separate gangs of robbers dis
covered they had chosen the same
time of the same night to break
into the same store and haul away
the same safe.
One gang of three tiptoed into
the London suburban grocery
store and surprised another trio
in the act of removing the safe
from its moorings.
There was an awkward silence
after both gangs established they
were in the same line of business.
Finally they decided to join forc
es and together lugged the half
ton safe into a truck to divide the
spoils later.
Somebody meantime had tipped
off Scotland Yard, end detectives
rounded up the coalition before
the 100 -pounds ($280) in the safe
could be shared out.
t
Police told the story in court
yesterday when five men were
found guilty of breaking into the
store. A sixth man was convicted
of being an accessory after the
fact. All will be sentenced later.

After standing in o long line of

behind the desk. “This is the

you want is the American Bar.
That’s on another floor.”
