Mayor Parker, Of Topeka, got 30 in
terested In his oil well at Chanute,
that was expected in about the time
he went out, that he came down to
, Chanute with the key to the mayors
J desk In his pocket, and then his pros
pectlve oil we'll proved to be dry hole.
The we'll brought In by the o. X.
Co. last week, on the Lapham land,
contrary to expectations, proves to be
an immense gasser instead of an 0iler.
Several oil wells have been brought
in, in the Thayer field lately. New
companies are organizing and the
territory will be thoroughly prospect
ed.
The Kansas Torpedo Co. will keep
it's own teams. The old electric light
plant building is fitted up for that
purpose.
1t is reported that company drill
ing for gas near Arkansas City, has
struck the article In paying quantities.
Won't that make Winfield hump?
There are now five rigs at work in
the Tennis g. MCGOWAN field, just
southwest of Chanute.
Mr.. Beamer and son have purchased
a new drill and will put down some
holes on contract.
All Gibson, wife and son Rex came
down from Topeka last Friday. ALI
was expected to see that Canville
voted right on the courthouse propo-
sition.
W. e. Barker, Sec. of the Junction
Oil Co., has gone tu Chicago.
Chanute parties have been granted
franchise to pipe Yates Center for
gas. They contract to drill a number
of wells and If they find gas the fran
chise Is good.
Guffey & Galley are arranging to
make big developments in the Bartles'
vile field. 1t is said they will put six
rigs to work at once.
1t is supposed the Neodeslla REIN
cry will be greatly enlarged this sum-
mer. 1t will be necessary to enlarge
to take care of the Chanute oil, to say
nothing Of the Bartlesville.
Several Boulder, Col, men here this
week, looking up oil interests.
Hum boldt expects to land a tank
builder.
A large crew of tank builders are at
work on the big storage tank at Neo
desha, being erected by the Standard
people. They will also erect one at
Chanute and one at Bartlesville.
BY a recent court decision our oil
companies doing business here but or.
ganized under the laws of other states
cannot be taxed on their capital stock
in this state.
Neodesha reports new flowing
well of ten barrels capacity.
Leroy is to, have another drilling
outfit at work soon.
Independence seems to have good
many fine wells, all In the future.
Efforts, we understand. are being
made to induce farmers to grant priv
ilege of piping their gas away. 1t
seems to us that any farmer who
knows his own interest will prevent
by any means in his power the pip
ing of this gas away from the locality
In which it is found.
A party of Iowa gentlemen have
been investigating the oil fields about
Chanute, this week.
The Garden City Co. brought in an
other fine we'll on the Johnson land,
