years. II has the biggest wells In
the country. Il has the highest grade

In three years the Territory has
gone from a:'h in the list OF oil
producing regions to The very top
Of the list II outranks California.

Tor Ave years. Texas had first
place IN 1902 but dropped back in
1905 and has been going backwards
ever since. This year the California
production will be less than 80 mil
lion barrels which gives the Terri.

Ing all oil IN private storage and
that shipped 10 individuals TO Texas
aud other states. the production Of
the Territory for this year Is now
in excess Of 80 million barrels

In the daily average in the pool IN
the last thirty days has been some.

day, though there have been more
than hundred new wells drilled In
the meantime But this Is incidental
an deHpectcd There Is just so
much oil In a pool and that IS all

Wildcattlng is going on all over

estimated that at least 300 wells are

nearly every foot Of land has been
gobbled up.
