of miners land. This is treacherous
to lease under present regulations.
Occupies Old Townsite.
The Glenn occupies the site of the
old town of Mounds, which when the
Frisco was built was moved about six
miles beyond. The Associated Pro-
ducers' big well ON the Landers or
Carbray farm, is directly on the old
townsite and the present postoflice of
Proper is located nthe Carbray tract
The Frisco passes up the opposite side
of the broad valley, about two miles
to the west. A box car represents
the flag station of Kiefer If the field
broadens out, this will undoubtedly
become quite an important freight
and traffic point on the Frisco. A
boarding house or hotel and livery
stable would pay well there right now
AT present, the men in the field are
for the most part living in tents and
crudely built shacks so characteristic
of the oil country. The oil Battle AK
railroad was laid out to pass directly
through this rich pool, The last work
was done on the Carbray farm and
the grade is now used by the Asso-
ciated Producers for damming up the
water for drilling purposes. 1t will be
remembered that the promoter of this
road was sent to the penitentiary in
Missouri for using county funds to
/, build the road.
Have Remarkable Capacity.
Had the road been built, it would be
godsend to the men now operating
the Glenn pool.
Unless there is suden and unex-
pected chopping off of the sand the
Glenn pool is destined to be the most
prolific field in the Mid-Continent field
in the next few months. The Prairie
is now buildin an eight-inch line to
take care of the product. The wells
have remarkable capacity. 1t is
the practice to connect new wells up
with three and four lead pipes and
when drilled in all these are required
to take care of the output. There is
considerable gas and the wells flow.
The pay is deep and there is 100 feet
Of it. The oil is dark green, nearly
40 gravity, making an especially de-
irable product. Several wells which
were connected up before being drill
ed in, drilled themselves in. The pro-
luction holds UP remarkably. There
is no doubt that an immense reservoir
has been tapped. Some of the Ian
resold by order of Judge Sulzbacher
recently has been conclusively proven.
The tract taken away from Frank
for $4,000, is directly across the road

from some big wells, and rigs are now
up for five drainage holes. If this land
is long held up in the courts, it is
not difficult to see the loss these drain
age wells on the adjoining property
will mean.
The Prairie has succeeded in get
ting several leases in advance of the
pool, and one of them just southeast
of the Associated Producers well now
looks good, but it is just the Prairie IS
luck to have the sand pinch out here.
The Prairie has also secured some
leases on the hill west of the valley,
beyond on the railroad. Leases have
brought from few dollars to $l6,-
900 tract. One company early in
the game paid $4,000 for a l6O-acre
farm in fee. It was fine land for
farming purposes, if it had no oil, but
with its present showing, it would
probably be appraised at nearly $780,
900.
Only time can tell where the Glenn
pool will extend. South of Red Fork
a sucker rod belt running directly
south has developed number of fine
leep wells in a l, 700 foot stratum, and
the southern limits have not yet been
reached. Between Sapulpa and Glenn
on the hill top, Smith & Swan are
just starting test Oil has been
found seventy miles south. The pos
sibilities of the pool are wide.
Operators in the Glenn are now
drilling their wells in and have the oil
run out on the ground. 1t is impos-
sible to put tanks up fast enough.
The Oglesby company, Galbraith &
Chesley, Associated Producers and
Bonaker all have one or more wells
on top of the pay waiting to be drilled
in. The Associated Producers com
