enough 10 secure largo portion 81
the very rich pool that was opened
up on South OsnRc late last fall by
the llarnsdnll on Company. Mr. Fan
cher put his interests into tho Financ,
OH Company having as his associate
the Aloe Brothers, who had been as
spcintcd with him as his field mana
| gers for a long time They brought
In some wonderful wells, number OF
them starting of at five thousand
! barrels. within lcss than two months
ten wells had produced more than
! three hundred thousand barrels OF
OIL It was probably the greatest rec
ord ever made In the oklahoma ol.
| fields
While the production was at It's
I highest point, being about ten thous-
ana barrels a day, Mr. Fanchor gave
an option 10 some New York parties
ON the property at the price Of one
million dollars fifty thousand having
been paid on the option. Soon aftcr
the option was given the wells began
To decline rapidly aud the production
of the property fell off from ten
thousand barrels a day to a little over
slN thousand barrels day. This
scared the New York people who held
the option and the deal was allowed
to go by default and Mr.. Fanchcr
and his associates are still the owners
Of the property, They have taken out
"A great deal Of oil since the deal fell
through, ana have made big money
on the development of the lease.
And now Mr.. Fancher has gone
over into Section 2-21-g Of the South
Usage, five miles east OF where he had
been operating before and three miles
south of some wells that had been
brought In by the Uncle Sam Oil
Company and has just finished well
which is good for from one hundred
tu one hundred and nifty barrels. 1t
looks, therefore, as though he had
struck another pool and that he
might have another run of good luck
in the way of production.
Referring back to the deal that
Fancher made with the Prairie OH II
Gas Company, 1t should be added that
the Prairie has not bought single
property In any oklahoma oil field
since il became known that the De-

II had been constant buyer and had
paid to producers many millions of

out of the market for at least the time
