BARTLESvILLE
OIL COMP PANIES
About Seventeen Organized in
Cherokee Nation.

The first well drilled in the Chero-
kee nation, was drilled near Bartles-
vile, in about 1900 by the Cudahay
on Co. This well was about three
fourths OF a mile east OF the Usage
line.
There were, about this time, several
other wells down about Ramona, Vera,
and Ochelata. all of them heavy pro
ducers.
In the course Of year, new eompa-
nies came into the field, and the out
put OF oil was increased. At present,
the oil companies In the field number
about seventeen. This year, the field
In the vicinity of Bartlesyille is three
times the size that Il was this time
last year The best chance for the
investor is at Bartlesyille.
About five wells have been drilled
at Muskogee lately, some OF them be-
ing pretty good producers. People
make fun of the would be oll-city,n y
but ii promises to develop into quite
field, II reports are true and there is
no reason for disbelieying them.
Most Of the oil companies located at
BartlesYille, have their holdings in
the Usage nation. There are about
five companies in the Cherokee nation,
besides those at Muskogee
Most Of the companies on the Usage
side have very extensive, aud very
rich holdings, which surely ought TO
make their operators wealthy.
The oil people, at present, are
awaiting the building Of the pipeline
through here, so as to have a chance
TO dispose Of their tied-up oil. II is
expected through within the next
sixty days. Until then, all the wells
south Of Usage lease No. 40 are tank
ing their oil, on account OF the lack Of
transportation facilities. Those north
Of. lease No. 40 have a local pipe line
to Bartlesyille, where the oil Is pump
ed into special trains of tank cars,
which take IL TO the refinery at Neode-
sha, Kan.
There are now l,5oO barrels OF oil
shipped from Bartlesyille every day

THE RECLAMATION SERVICE
Progress That Has Been Made In the

careful reconnaissance work has
shown the officials OF the United
States geological survey, to whom
the direction Of the reclamation work
has been entrusted. that OF the great
irrigation projects first proposed some
are good. some are doubtless imprac
ticahle. and others have enough bad
points to balance the good ones
Meanwhile. patient study OF the en-
cheering difficulties connected with
these irrigation problems has contin
ued. and the result Is that new pro
iects OF great merit have developed in
unexpected quarters. These are now
under careful consideration,
The irrigation projects favorahly
reported az the beginning of 1908
included those on the Truckeo river
IN Nevada. on the Salt river In Ari.

Sweetwater river In Wyoming and
on Gunnison river in Colorado. The

those works have advantage which manufacture
