NOTICE GIVEN TO OIL PROOUC-
ERS OF HEALDTON FIELD.

In order to facilitate the matter Of
pro-rating the oil of the producers OF
the Healdton field, the following in
structions have been issued by the
state oil inspector:
First.
That each and every producing lease
shall have a sufficient amount OF
wooden or steel tankage to take care
of the entire lease production for a
period of forty-eight hours.
Second.
Only the amount of oil produced
during the second twenty-four hours
of the forty-eight hour period shall
be measured, and of this a gauge shall
be taken at the end of the second
twenty-four hours. This measurement
shall be the basis upon which the
production of the several leases are
pro-rated.
Third.
This test will be made every twen-
ty-four days in order that all new
wells may be included under this sys-
tenn
Fourth
All tankage must be ready for pro-
duction tests not later than June 15,
1914.

can never be put back, neither will
they reproduce themselves like ami
NAL and vegetable life. Time is not
far distant when state and federal
regulation must control the produc-
ton of oil and gas or these great
neutral resources will soon be only
memory.
Enough of this gloomy prospec-.
Let US put on new reel and throw
brighter picture on the screen.
Doubtless there has never been new
field in the history OF the world
where local people have been so alive
to its possibilities and secured SO
large an interest in the development
as IN the Healdton district. The peo-
PIE OF Ardmore and vicinity control
fully one half of the productive terri
tory in Carter county. In contrast
to this, Gushing is all owned by out
siders.
In the satisfaction of present
achieved success, the citizens of your
beautiful and progressive city of Ard
more should hot be blinded to the
greater opportunities of the future.
Ardmore is now in position to reap
Permanent benefit from the opportun-
tiles knocking at her very threshold,
To avail herself of these opportuni-
ties she must act quickly or they will
pass to outside control.
Government aid is remote. If the
government does act, it will be three
years, at the very least, before aid
can be secured from the federal gov
ernment. The Lord helps those who
| help themselves. What Healdton
needs is a pipe line from the pool to
Ardmore. While the producers have
beer crying for state and federal aid
they have lost 100000 worth of oil
! Before politicians come to their res
cue, they will lose five times what
they have already lost. They SHOULD
quit wasting their energies on B. S
politicians and build pipe line.
"An outlay of 100000 will turn the
trick. A pipe line from Healdton tc
Ardmore will bring to your city re
tineries, add to its taxable property
bring you a desirable class of citizens
and make for permanency and pros
perity. The score or more Of produc
ing firms in the pool could easily fur
nish half the finances and the citi
zens of Ardmore the other half. |
should also be a paying proposition
from financial standpoint.
"Get the oil and the refneries an(
you can find a market. If the pro
ducers of the Healdton district ant
the citizens of Ardmore fail to rise t
$ this opportunity, they can have no ont
but themselves to blame.
"Ardmore is ideally located for {
refining center as it has an adequate
water supply and good shipping ia
ciities. Healdton is not the only poo
within reach of Ardmore. Others vii
be discovered and serve as feeders
for local refneries. The remedy fo
the Healdton situation lies within th'
power of the Healdton producers anC
the citizens of Ardmore. What il

The Magnolia Pipe Line company
contends that the producers do not
need any more tankage in order to
test the wells in the field, and they
will begin on the first day of June TO
make an actual guage of every pro-
ducing well in the Healdton field. The
company estimates the production at
this time at 25,OOO barrels day, but
the company also states that no one
can tell what the production is until
the wells are guaged.
