CUSHING, Oklhp oct lo'--lHe VIZ
rush at Cushing presents an Interest
Ing spectacle. IT rivals easily tho
excitement ~ Kelfer during the palmy
days Of Glen Pool and brings with It
all the thrill" that goes with tho
gold rush in mining country ana
the excitement OF tho game.
Between tho development east OF
Cushing and the town seventy loaded
teams were passed each one hauling
material for rigs, tanks and houses
and the dust kicked up by the many
teams was terrific.
Cushing Is not much Of an oil town
as yet and but little excitement Is
in evidence IN this burg, The boys
are building towns Of their own, ana
In short time will have much better
quarters on the edge Of the oil fiell
than are now available at Cushing.
IT is singular circumstance that
Cuslng has been so little benefited
By the new field. Teams are loaded At
the railroad and leave for the field
without ever entering the business
portion Of the town, which Is there-
fore. quiet place and the excite
ment IS all I'm the field. q.
OH operators are protesting long
ana loud against the poor railroad
connections from Tulsa as to Visit
the Cusing field In a day one Is re
a. tn 1N,,Is Ia,
morning which brings one to Cushing
at Just about a. m, tired ana worn
out for the days labor A pullman
should be set out at both ends Of the
lire ana its a cinch that It would be
filled nightly. so great Is the travel
back and forth
The first view OF the field is from
IA high hill which gives one fine
idea Of the development and from
here new rigs can be seen reaching
out their tops through the trees with
fine regularity. So far the field has
been fairly well outlined for about
three miles and the derricks plainly
show whore development work is noS
in progress.
Beginning at the north end the
Shaffer wells are being drilled with
the inside locations as well as the
boundary line. This seems to be an
proceeding and one like
ly to bring lower price for oil which
at this time as everybody knows Is I
due for raise. So many wells |
started now, even if the drilling II
difficult Is bound to have its fleet /.
when finally they come in, all in a |
bunch.
At Gushing it would appear that AZ
least three pools will finally develop, |
ard that no regular trend will be
found from one end of the field to |
the other. or course, this may be |
wrong. but it is the impression one .
gets from the formations which are |,
decidedly irregular and uneven. Tho |

Jones at about 100; ana The Wheeler /.
sand Mt 2,200.
The best we'll so far drilled in the
Gushing field is that recently COM /
pleted by the McMan oil CO., on /
the Derisaw farm in Section 32-1S,1 /
which today is flowing through a six |
inch casing and is making better |
than six hundred every "a hours. The |
McMan oil Co., has No. drilling |
about $50 feet and No. at 450 |
feet. Offsctting on the south the |
Mutt and JEFF Oil CO. Is golpS |
along nicely with the No. l test on
the Eastman Richards farm in Sec |
tion SLIT and the Gunsberg ANA ,
Foreman Eastern oil Co. test on the /
west half of this quarter is building |
a rig
The Hi-Grade OH Co. test on the .
Ella Jones farm is about the same
sized we'll as the Devonian-F Fuller /
we'll which 1t offsets The only diff
ference being that the latter well IS
gas from the three sands, and IN
this case the Job was accomplished in
better style than | have ever seen in /
this or any other country and the
credit is given by the Devonian peo-
pie TO Dennis Hastings who bossed the
job and had the well shut in as above
stated. The Devonian people and .
Fuller seem to have much easier .
drilling on their lease with no sign oi .
the red beds in the sand pumpings .
as is found farther north And the .
No. is making fine progress at .
around 500 feet. Nos. $40 are 10
