BRIEF, HISTORY OF THE
OKLAHOMA OIL FIELD

The Cleveland Triangle has the
following to say Of the Cleveland
pool:
"Just year ago, the 29th day
| of May the first oil well was spud-
ded in in the Cleveland oil field,
and as we look back over the de-
velopments Of the past year. it
seems almost impossible that so
much could have happened in
such a brief space of time. When
the Minnetonka Oil Company
started it's first well upon the
farm of William Lowry, adjoin-
| ing the town site on the south, it
was 40 miles ahead of any pro-
ducton and 60 miles ahead of the
pipe line. Since then wonders
have ben performed in the oil and
gas business as well as the build
ing of the town. 1t is not the in
ton of this article. to do more
than merely sketch the march OF
progress that has made Cleveland
what it is to-day.
"The first well was brought in
on the second day of July, but it
was not until 20 days after that
the we'll was shot and the real his
tory of the development of the
field dates from that event. This
we'll was known far and wide as
the Uncle Bill No. L. named so
in honor of the farm on which it
was found. The shot collapsed
the casing and it took some time
to get the we'll in shape for a prac-
teal test. That well is still pro-
ducing and the production has
not yet fallen but little and if it
were pumped all the time it would
doubtless make 40 barrels a day.
"The discovery of a new oil
field brings a class of people and
it was not long until the town
was overrrn with oil men from
the East, West and South. The
first corners and the principal OPP
orators in this field have always
been old time producers. The
whole country was leased up, and
some prices were paid which were
then considered fabulous. But the
developments of the past year
have revealed one of the best ,
fields in the west.
"The greater part Of the pro-
duction of the Cleveland field is
in what is known as the Cleveland
sand and is found at a depth of
1000 feet. There are a few wells ,
in the shallow sand from 100 |
to 1000 feet, but while the oil
found at that depth is of higher
gravity than the deeper produc-
ton. 1T Is generally smaller IN pro-
duction.
"Since that eventful May day
the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
has completed a four inch line
to the field. Not only that but
it has erected seven $4,000 barrel
steel tanks east of town and has
five more under way. The Prar-
lie is the only company taking
oil from the field and the produc-
ton has increased so rapidly that
it has so far been unable to take
care Of the production. The
fact that it has in the neighbor-

hood of 275, 900 barrels in stor-
age and has pumped out on an
average of 5000 barrels per day
for the last 80 days shows the vast
production of the field. When
the Cleveland field was first open
ed the pipe line was still north of
Bartlesville.
"Besides the amount of oil
handled by the Prairie. there is in
storage over the field not less than
$25O,0OO barrels. Brown & Mill
kin are erecting a $1,000 barrel
stel tank on the Coyne tract, and
as they have three wells shut in
on top of the sand, the tank will
not last long. Within the last
80 days a number of the produc-
ers have built earthern reservoirs
to hold the production. Some of
them hold as high as 100000 bar
rels of oil.
The present production of the
field is variously estimated, but
the best estimates place it at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 barrels
per day. AS defined now the
field is two miles and a half long,
and about two miles wide at the
widest point. Within this radius
there have been no dry holes drill
ed, and while. the present field is
small, it is being gradually widen
ed and heightened out. Any
day may bring in a we'll that will
extend the field considerable.
"There are close to twenty
strings of drilling tools at work in
the Tulsa-Red Fork field in the
Greek and Usage nations and at
least a dozen new rigs up, ready
for the drill.
"The Los Angeles & Chero-
KEGS No. 5 well in the Creek ma
ton makes a good showing and
Nos. 6 and 7 are drilling. Frank
Horton has finished a dry hole on
his lease, three miles north of Tul-
sa, and will move the rig to
location adjoining the Los Ange-
les & Cherokee property. The
I. x. l.. company is building IL
tanks of a capacity of $50 barrels,
each on it's holdings. Rogers &
Green are putting down a test
we'll on the Mitchell land near
Red Fork, in section 21-19-12,

company has a 10 barrel well in

Crockett and the Mules.

When Davy Crockett sat in the ma

of the state of Texas he had many
clashes with men of more education
but less wit than himself. 1t is told
of him that one day while standing in
front of his hotel on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, a drove of mules trotted by
under the custody of an overseer from
one of the stock farms in Virginia. A
Congressman from Boston, who was
standing near by, attracted Crockett's
attention to the unusual sight, saying:
Hello there, Crockett; here's a lot
of your constituents on parade. Where
are they going?'
The celebrated hunter looked at the
animals with quiZzical glance, and
then turning to the other said quiet
ly, but with great emphasis, '"They are
going to Massachusetts to teach

SAVED CHILO'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick. Ark, June 19.-The case
OF w. s. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol-
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short. even the doctors, two of
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. l stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. 1 gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth
day the swelling was all gone but to
give the medicine justice, gave him
eleven more pills. l used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-five Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing, whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night
