Perhaps you have never thought Of

every one that constipation is caused

the use Of drastic cathArtics like the

GROSS OIL FIGURES.
Several More Wells to be Drilled
Very Shortly.

A local oil man who is we'll versed
with the prevailing conditions Of the
independent operators says that the
total daily production of oil from
their wells reaches about $50 barrels,
q substantial increase within q year.
For this oil these companies are paid
80 cents q barrel, making the daily
income amount to 1915 or $50. $50 q
month or s240. 600 per year. gross.
He also stated that the total expendi-
lures OF all the different independent
companies since beginning of opera
tions would figure probably $500. 900.
These figures show that the yearly
gross returns are about 80 per cent
of the original investment. The
greater part of the gross receipts is
reinvested in development.
