with much interest by oil producers
OF old Indian Territory. who believe
that such a visit win result benefi.
cially to the oil industry They be-
lieve that after personally investigat
ing conditions here. Secretary Ballin
ger will understand the needs Of the
field and thus be able TO eliminate
some OF the red tape that heretofore
has existed in getting possession of
leases on Indian lands.
That the secretary of the interior
will go to the new oil field In the
Arbuckies mountains district. is

ton OF the state. The success of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad in drilling for oil and gas in
the Arbuckles field has been remark
able. The company now has thirty.
seven producing oil and gas wells in
that field and other companies are
drilling and making preparations to
drill. Ii is expected TO become one
of the biggest producing fields in
Oklahoma. Ii is believed that the
field eventually will be found TO ex.
tend across the entire Red river sec

to that of the big we'll which is now
