The Southwestern.

The first oil company that organ
lied on stock basis and began de-
veloping work in this field was the
Southwestern. Among other terrific
ry they own leases on 600 acres of
choice oil land just north of the city
in the very heart Of the proven ter
ritory.
They never have been company
that did much blowing. but have con-
tented themselves with continual
pecking away in the field.
We enjoyed drive with their man
ager, Mr.. J. H. Crawford last Mon
day over portion Of their holdings,
and got a little insight into what
they have been doing.
They have a tirst-cass brick
power house, filled up with the latest
and best machinery.
They have new Fairbanks-Morse
gas engine of 1S0-horse power, that
runs as smooth as watch, and
furnishes them the power for raising
the oil by the compassionate system.
They haye now just fifty oil wells,
forty-one of which are coupled up
and pumping.
Their production, could the Stand
ard take the oil regularly, would lie
about 800 barrels per day.
They have dug but few dry holes.
They are running several rigs and
bringing in a new well every few
days.
For the benefit of some of Our
friends that think of opening up and
developing new fields we will state
that the Southwestern Co. has, up to
date, expended s255,OOO in their de-
velopments, and machinery. and have
lust begun TO open up the field.
However, their production, now,
will pay all expenses of further drill
ing, and rapidly accumulate profits
for the stockholders.
Our guess is that the Southwestern
will be paying dividends very soor
after the Standard Co. gets in shape
TO take care of the OIL. A person has
but little realization Of the magni-
tude of the Developments that are
taking place in this field unless he
drives over it, aud then he can
scarcely guess at the vast sums of
money that are being paid out here
for labor and material.
The Southwestern is one Of many
companies that are operating here,
and If the amount Of money they all
