A MASTERFUL FIGURE IN THE OIL.
TRADE

James NJ Gu1fey. principal owner OF
the great Lucas oil weIl in Texas. is
the hero of an uncommon career,
which is set forth in detail in the
March number of the Worlds Work
He was a SchoOlboy just out of his
teens when he made his first venture at
Pithole, city which once had a popu-
lation of thirty thousand. but whose
former site is now a COW pasture. He
lost the money he had taken with him
to Pithole, nor did a larger measure
of success attend his operations during
the next few years; but after each
failure he took fresh courage. and for
a decade or more roamed the hills and
valleys of western Pennsylvania push
ing the drill, in out-of-the-way places
with an energy that seemed a great
deal like lunacy to less persistent men.
Guffey's opportunity came with the
discovery of the Cherry Grove district.
He was one of the first in that field,
and secured leases which yielded him
comfortable fortune. He now owns
oil and gas wells in half dozen states
and for several years past has been
the largest individual oil producer in
the world. One day last summer
there was letter in his mail from
man in Texas in which the writer stat
ed that he had fifteen thousand acre
of land iT Jefferson county, that stato
under oil leases. He would like Guffe--
to join Trim in drilling a test well.
Guffey wrote the exam to get leases
on thirty thousand acres when he
would hefp him. The bargain was made
and it's first fruit was the Lucas we'll
