OIL FIELDS QUIET.
Low Prices of October Disappoint
Kansas Producers.

Independence, Kan, Nov. 10.-Busi-
ness in the oil field now is rather VIuiet
and failure of the western oil prices to
follow the rise in the eastern fields has
caused a general depression. When
western oil went up one cent and then
still another, it was generally believed
to be the commencement OF a general
upward tendency which would put oil
me dollar mark by Christmas, or, if
not that soon, a little later in the new
year.
October Was Dull.
The failure of the prices to move up
ward again has been a surprise and "a
disappointment, and its effect is clearly
evident in the decrease of operations in
October. The October competitions were
312 new wells, which is twenty nine less
than the September competitions. This
means a corresponding decrease of pro-
ductiOn, which is estimated at about $50
barrels, figuring on the average wells
output. There were also fewer rigs
running by eighteen October 81 than
September so. These figures show clear
ly that the increased activity of Sep
tember was not maintained and that
there must be a greater raise in price
than there has been to start anything
like the old-time activity.
OIL men of this field are deeply in
terested IN a comparison just made with
the eastern fields. In October there
were 934 wells drilled in the eastern
fields and of these 214 were either gas
ducing OIL and their production is CIV
en- as $3.50 barrels. This gives an
average of 1913 barrels to the well.
Western Field Best.
In the same time, there were 312 wells
drilled in the mid-continent field, of
which 240 were oilers, giving new
production of 8,677 barrels, or 35.4 bar
rels to the well. This gives the west
lead over the east Of about twenty
three barrels a well. - to put it an
other way, the east was forced to drill
720 oil wells to get $3.50 barrels. while
the west drilled only 245 to get S.677.
October 81 the number of rigs running
through the oil fields is given as fol-
lows:
Pennsylvania. ............-...-. 776
Ohio. o................. -. ......... 220
Kentucky and Tennessee. %
Midcontinent ....-..........,... 25S
Total Observation-Disclosures
The rigs in the mideontinent field are
scattered about as follows, which gives
one an idea of where the activity in the
western geld is:
Chautauzua county. %: Paola field
s; Chanute, s; Neodesha, 6: Cherryvale
4; Tyro, 4; Independence, 3; Erie, 3;
Longton, 2; Coneyville. 2; making a to-
tai of sixty-nine in the Kansas field.
In the territory field there are 189, dis
tributed as follows: Usage nation, 64
Cherokee nation, Is; Greek nation, IS;
Oklahoma, "a.
The most conservative oil men be-
lieve that as the present state of oil
runs the general field is soon going to
show large decrease in production and
that the drill must soon be started on
a large scale to keep up to its present
point. On the other hand they are not
going to do much drilling on dfty-two-
cent oil, although there is no trouble
in selling it as fast as it can be pro-
duced.
