E. c. Mckinley, sales manager for the
Uncle Sam Oil company of Cherryvale,
Kan. are in Omaha making arrangements
for the location OF the distributing station
Of the oil company, adjacent to the right
of-way OF the Missouri Pacific railway.
The tanks for holding the oil at this station
were shipped from Warren, o.. last week.
The Uncle Sam OIL company will furnish
the different grades of oil and gasoline,
at present distributing It to the citizens
Of Omaha by its own delivery wagon. As
soon as proper arrangements can be made
and within a few weeks 1t will also be
furnished to the citizens of Omaha, two
grades of fuel oil for domestic and general
use. Speaking of oil condition IN Kansas
Mr.. Rightmire says:
Last week the people OF Atchison.
through its committee of forty, signed a
contract with the Uncle Sam OIL company,
giving the company a bonus of thirty
eight acres of land adjacent to the city
Of Atchison for refinery site and cash
bonus Of about $4,000 for the location OF
the companys second refinery at Atchison.
The company is refining and shipping from
Cherryvale, $50 barrels Of refined oil daily,
which can be increased to 500 barrels per
Atchison refinery will have a capacity Of
$500 to 1900 barrels OF crude oil per day,
It being necessary TO manufacture this
amount OF oil to care for the company's
own production.
Three Flowing Wells.
THE company now has three flowing
wells in Indian Territory, one of which
for the last two weeks has been deliver
ing 1900 barrels per day in storage tanks,
one other we'll has been delivering 500 bar
rels per day and the third we'll has been
delivering $50 barrels We have four drill
ing rigs at work all the time developing
our leases in Indian Territory While this
development work is progressing we are
crowding the extension of our pipe lines
from Cherryvale to Atchison, a distance
of 175 miles, of which fifty-eight miles are
upon the ground.
'"At present the company Is placing a
pipe line from it's Cherryvale refinery, a
distance OF forty miles. to its wells in
Indian Territory, to bring the oil direct
through its own pipe line from its wells
in the territory to the storage tanks in
connection with it's Cherryvale refinery.
Its Indian Territory oil is a light oil of
~ gravity, Of the same grade which is
selling today in Pennsylvania for S146 per
DdTT6l anu lOI WHICH lil6 Is pay
ing only 60 cents per barrel in Indian Ter
ritory.
THE men who started this company the
middle of February, 1906, with a charter
for 100000 capital stock. which they
placed upon the market at 4 cents per
share, claim they have been the especial
recipients Of divine providence in all of
the investments they have made While
they have sold but 100000 shares at an
average of about cents, the property pur-
chased with the proceeds, by the good re-
suits Of their management. is worth an
actual value of 100000 today.
I'VE desire to make Omaha our chief
distributing point for the state Of Ne
braska and will also establish storage
plants at Council Bluffs and supply Iowa
from that point. These two cities will be
our northern points for distributing
plants"
