Old TIMERS MAY KNOW
SPOT TO DRILL GUSHER
TEN YEARS AGO THE cHlcKA-
SAW OIL AND MILLING CO.
STARTED TO DEVELOP FIELD.

In conversation with an old timer
1t is shown that oil and gas is
abundant around Ardmore, in view
OF the fact that several citizens of
the town as early as 1899 organized
the Chickasaw Oil and Mining Com
pany for the development of those
resources then lying dormant.
Those parties had prospected the
whole country and only awaited the
opening OF the country, which at
that time was expected TO be done
in very few months. on a very
liberal basis. not as 1t was finally
opened, with so many restrictions
and red tape TO harrass those who
wanted TO open the oil and gas belt
around Ardmore.
Through some unfortunate circum-
stances most of these oil lands
around Wheeler passed out OF their
hands and into the hands OF the
Santa Fe railroad. who developed
that oil field and have OF, and gas
s-plenty and proved that these pi-
oneers OF the Ardmore oil belt were
correct in locating the oil deposits
That as rich or richer oil lands
underlie the vicinity of the corporate
limits OF Ardmore is also known to
some OF those who organized that
company in 1899
They have followed the oil sands
from the Arbuckles to Red river
and know where gusher can be
drilled.
