Charleston. W. Va. Nov. ~
The Lincoln county oil field. one
of the two great producing territ, nr-
les that lie within easy reach of THU
city, is about 20 miles to the south
west, travelling in straight line,
even as the Roane county field, OF
which | wrote in former letter.
lies about 90 miles northeast. Like
the Roane field, the Lincoln has
also large production of gas. and
the defined and tested territory is
of such extent as to assure great
output of both oil and gas for many
years to come.
About nine years ago oil and gas
were found in Cabell county at Mil
ton, not far from the Lincoln coun-
~ line, and from that time on wells
were drilled nearer and ever nearer
to the place where, about two years
ago. the drill first struck the greasy
fluid near Griffithsyille. Since that
time the development has been rap
i'd, until now there are some 200 to
ESQ wells in the field, with a daily
output OF about 5000 barrels, and
new wells are being put down more
rapidly than ever before.
The principal drillers of wells are
the Guyan Oil Co., the Duval Oil
Co., the South Penn Oil Co., the
Big Creek Development Co., the
Carter Oil Co, and the Holley Oil
4 Development Co. or these, the
/ Big Creek Company has now the
largest production, and is getting
something like $4,000 barrels 4
month, The others follow with var.
lons amounts. There are besides
these companios a number OF Others
OF smaller calber that have drilled
from one TO four wells each and
secured from 500 TO 1000 barrels Of
oil month
/ The oil in this field is foGnd IN
the Berea grit at distance OF 22OC
to 1880 feet below the creek bed
and the formation is such as prom
Uses wells OF long life. The deyel
opment has been carried out severa
miles southwest OF the main pool
and the oil found over territor,
of considerable scope. The matt
. production, however, is confined a
present to some four or five mile!

sonara.-ln. this territorT very few
unproductiye holes have been drill
ed, and oil men regard the field as
one OF the best now being exploited
in the country.
Griffithsville, which is the chief
place in the field. lies some or 10
miles from the Coal River branch
OF the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
at MacCorkle. Private parties have
built a railroad from MacCorkle to
the top OF the hill that lies between
that station and the oil field, and
freight is carried up to that point
by rail and thence to its destination
by wagons, II is thus not hard to
Eget supplies into the field. 1t is
Thought that 600 or 700 wells will
be necessary TO properly develop the
territory aIegdy tested, and scores
of rigs are WORKING night and day
TO carry their owners first to the
pay SAND.
Possibly nowhere in the history
of oil development have there been
greater or more sudden changes in
fortune than at Grffithsyille. The
lands about there were not particu-
larry good for farming, and the
most that anyone seemed able to do
was to keep the wolf at comfort
able distance from the door. The
community was an old one, and
there seemed little hope for i'm
proyement in the condition of the
people. The first well was struck,
and, behold! men who had spent
their lives in poverty almost abjeet
were suddenly become so rich that
they did not know what to do with
their money. One citizen, well
known, rather leader among his
nelghbors, and something better off
than the average, owned a farm OF
500 or 400 acres, which cost him
$3.50 an acre. He managed by hard
work and close economy to exc out
somewhat more than bare living.
A big company leased his farm and
began drilling. Other companies
drilled other farms adjoining his
and as each well that came in prov
cd productive, the company drilling
this particular farm fastened to
put down wells all along the boun.
dairy lines, so that others could moi
sap the land Of its richness. The
consequence is that there are now
on that farm between rs and 30
producing wells, and the income Of
the owner, who could not formerly
have laid by $500 year with the
hardest work and strictest economy
is now in possession of an income
of from $4,000 to $4,000 a month
Numerous other landowners hav,
enjoyed the same experience, only II

coin county field. From the deyel-
opment of this company the city Of
ST. Adams is supplied with gas, and
about 100000 feet is shut off to
await a demand. One of these wells
produces 100000 feet of gas

Many persons residing in this city
have holdings in that section, and
are now reaping rich returns from
their royalties. Others have secur-
ed shares in the royalties of the
resident owners, who preferred SELL
ing portions OF their holdings for a
certainty to holding on to all and
taking the chances that ever attend
the drilling of oil wells.
The money for royalties alone on
producing wells reaches the neigh
borhood of $4,000 month, to say
nothing of the money being paid for
the purpose of holding territory yet
to be developed. What this means
to a scope Of country four or five
miles square can be imagined. In
addition to this, many other thous-
ands of dollars are being scattered
by way of expenditures for labor,
for teams and for forage, made
necessary by the continued develop
ment. So that the community living
near these oil wells is about as
flush with money as any in the
country anywhere.
About the edges of the oil de-
velopment, especially to the north
east, is large development of nat
ural gas, and the prospect is good
for one of the greatest gas fields

product The HolIey Development
Co. was the pioneer developer OF
this field, and now has some 80 or

GET LAND ON THE FLATHEAD

Andrew Melgard, of this city, and

only ones from Marshall county as
far as heard from. who were lucky to
secure lands in the land drawing at
the opening of the Flathead Indian
reservation, the former drawing No.

those who participated in the drawing
will not be able to file on lands on
account of financial and other reasons,
the chances to secure valuable claims
are much better than indicated by the
above numbers.
Frank Wittensten drew number in
the 5000 class on the Flathead reser

it's value.

KARlSTAD BANK
IS ROBBED 0
$500 IN CASH AND CHECKS Is
TAkEN.-SHERIFF ANDERSON,
OF KlTTSoN COUNTY, HOT IN
PURSUIT OF ROBBERS. 7

The State Bank of Karlstad was
burglarized on Tuesday night between
the hours of twelve and two o'clock,
and $500 in cash and checks taken
from the banks strong box. Earlier
in the night the robbers had broken
into the railroad section house a.
Strandquist, the next station south, on
the 500 line, and there they had Sc
cured tools and hand car on which
they rode to Karlstad. Some of the
people of the town heard the explo-
sions when the safe was cracked open,
but having no desire to risk their lives
in a contest with the robbers, they
waited until day light before rousing
the citizens and making them convers-
ant with what had happened during
the night. 1t was five o'clock in the
morning before the officers of the
bank knew of the robbery. They at
once got in communication with
Sheriff Anderson. of Kittson county
who at once hurried to the scene of
the robbery in an automobile, making
the distance between Hallock and
Karlstad, in an hour and a half. He
and C. J. Forsberg, the president Of
the bank. gathered up what clews
they could and Immediately started in
pursuit Of the robbers, but as these
had about five hours the lead their
capture is by no means certain. The
hand car which they took at Strand
quist was found about a mile south of
Karlsad. The country around there
contains numerous groves and swamps
which at this season Of the year make
excellent hiding places for the rob
bers. The fact that there are many
harvest hands and ditch crews in that
part of the country also adds to the
difficulty Of identifying the culprits.
The State Bank Of Karlstad is one
of the Melgaard chain Of banks. 0. H
