Roswell are today having articles of
Incorporation of the Southwestern Oil
Company. of Roswell. drawn.
The company will be composed en-
tirely of Roswell aid Chaves county
men. and men of sound judgment,
and will be Incorporated for $4,000,
divided into 100000 shares of the
par value of one dollar per share.
The Record is advised that suffi-
cient number of shares have been
subscribed to justify the letting of
contract for the drilling of a we'll on
the land of the company.
This land is located four and a half
miles west of Main street, out from
Second street. and in the opinion of
expert oil men, who have examined
the tract it is the best and largest
oil field to be found in the Territory.
There are $40 acres in the tract.
1t is near this tract of land that
the Ady well is located. This well.
bored for water, showed such strong
indications of oil. that it was thor
oughly examined and a test made.
and it was found that there was COM
ing from the oil a considerable guam
tity of paraffin oil.
G. A Richardson is president of
this company; Jos. F. Carper. vice
president; Gregory Moore, secretary;
and w. s. Prayer, treasurer. J. T.
Carlton, George Ady. Jr., and c. W.
Haynes also are directors. With these
gentlemen in control of the affairs
of the company. there is 10 doubt but
that the company will be carefully,
honestly and soundly managed
The matter of putting down a well
has already been taken up, and a
contract for the drilling will be let
the first part of next week. 1t is the
intention of the company to expend
all the money subscribed for stock
in drilling the well and for no other
purpose.
