January Field Operations

The report of field operations 1or
the month of January opens the new
wear with very gratifying showing
in many respects, 244 wells haylng
been completed in the month, win
81 abandOnments, leaving net OF
1856 wells to enter into production, .
or this number, as in the month OF
December. Chanute shows the largest
number of wells completed, I6, with
u abandonments, leaving 64 wells on
the credit side. Humboldt follows
with total of ~ wells completed
and is abandoned net of ~. Bar

the mouth, and Chelsea adds to the
number producing in that field,

In new work, Chanute leads the

a total of 1913 wells drilling and ~ rigs
up or building in the field rms Is
the greatest amount OF new WORK yet
reported under way at any time, and
gives a good Indication OF what will
be done when the winter season Is
over. During the month cold snap
nut I'D an effectual end to work for
week, and in the Independence field
the work was held back considerablely
by the lack of water. Only one good
rain fell during the month, but 1T
relieved the water situation at many
points which was commencing TO
suffer.
There was nothing in the result or
the months work of very startling
nature, no very great strikes having
been made though the Independence
district showed the heaviest new
production of any section, the wells
brought in on which reports could be
had ranging 10 to 275 barrels, the
best one in the bunch being we'll NO.
on the Banks farm, drilled:by Miller.
Rider & Co., in the Skoko pool,
followed by No. SchOenberg, drilled
by the New York Oil & Gas Co., on
the adjoining lease, this we'll making
200 barrels. Five wells in the Chau-
tauqua county district made a show
ing of 100 barrels or better, the
Crescent Oil and Gas Co., operating
on the Afford lease two miles north
of Peru. bringing in the best we'll of
the district at ITO barrels, the next
best well being drilled on the Hartzell
lot at Peru, making $50 barrels in the
first "a hours production.
The new production reported
amounts to nearly 5000 barrels day
and should cause great increase in
the pipe line runs for the month";

The Correct Time

Is sometimes a matter of great
Importance. A watch that doesn't
tell the correct time is just as bad as
no watch at all. If your watch shows
an inclination to be eccentric or un-
steady in It's habits, bring 1T TO us
and we will put it in shape at very
reasonable cost.

Rellig farm in the midst Of this bunch
of leases and last week were rewarded
by the bring in OF a nice oiler. The
oil raised in the well three hundred
feet in two hours after 1t was shot.
This makes land valuable in the
trend.
