The U. S. government last night filed a suit to recover a section of the rich U. S. naval reserve oil lands in Kern county, valued at $23,000,000
The suit was filed in federal court. The section is known as U. S. Naval Reserve No. 1.
The action was directed against the Standard Oil company of CaUfornia, Standard Gasoline company, Pan-American Petroleum company, Southern California Gas company, Chase National Bank of New York, Bank of America, Tide Water Associated Oil company, Kern county and numerous individuals including trustee of the late Charles O, Fairbanks estate and executors of the late Edward Dohenys estate.
The land involved h»j been known as mineral in character since a survey in 1903. the suit alleged, asking repossession of the tract, valued at $10,000,000, and recovery of the value of oil, gas and gasoline extracted, estimated at $13,000,000.
Title to the section never passed to the state of CaUfornia, the action contended, because mineral lands were expected from the act of 1853 which gave sections 16 and 36 of each township to the state as school land.
