Fourth Tank Saved.

The third Magnolia tank reached
the height of its burning at 6:20
Friday evening. 1t burned for IS
hours, almost to the minute, before
the explosion came. The intense heat
failed to set on fire the adjoining
tank and three of the Magnolia tanks
are left standing and three are melted
to the ground and the oil reduced to
SCOT and ashes. The pipe line work
ers were on the scene every minute
of the time. Every effort was made
to keep the fire from spreading.
Men worked in relays, and took but
little time for sleep. The station
stated yesterday morning that runs
would begin at once. During the
time of the fire the station was closed
down. Fear of the further spreading
of the fire now is past.

Awe Inspiring Scene.

Judge j. r. Dickerson of Edmond
was in the field when the electric
storm visited it. He was accom-
panied by a friend who had spent
two years travelling over the world
to see the sights and wonders of
nature. The visitor said he had
seen active volcanoes and the great
est waterfalls, but the Healdton fire
eclipsed all other scenes he had wit
messed. When the Corsicana tank
exploded the fire rose to a height
of 800 feet, heated gas at the bottom
of the tank rose with fury that
scattered burning oil in every direc-
ton and the gas ascended toward
the heavens, while it was being con-
sumed by the angry flames. Red
flames rolled over the sides of the
tank and went in every direction, Gov
ering a large area in flames Judge
Dickerson said as he looked upon that
wonderful sight he thought the
writer's of the Bible had selected the
most awful thing they could de.
scribe as being hell for the punish
ment of wickedness.

Loss of Half Million.

Persons returning from Ringing
Friday stated that the creeks were
carrying a large quantity Of oil, A
siX-inch rain in the field washed out
some of the earthen TANKS. and the
oil was wasted. An estimate of the
amount cannot be had, but it s very
large. The loss from fire TO oil and
tank and rigs and the val1e of he
oil washed away will make a loss of
half a million dollars to the Healdton
field the past week, and is an argu-
ment against storing oil on the sur
face. 1t is better to leave it Under
the earth until the pipe line facilities
are ready to care for It. Tho Dun
dee Petroleum company follows this
method.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-08-30

from the other tanks. Each rig
could be seen as plainly as if it had
been day, the clouds of the storm
were low and the black columns OF
smoke from the field arose against
them, giving the appearance OF clouds
almost to the tree tops, the light
shone into the clouds, and this vortex
was surrounded on the outside by
stygian darkness between the flashes
of lightning. Lightning played about
the steel tanks with a seeming tiend
ish delight. The peals of thunder
were deafening as one stroke followed
the other in quick succession. The
rain came in torrents, the SCOT that
went up in the smoke was filtered
down by the rain, and roofs were
painted black with the SCOT. 1t was a
scene that would make the strong
est heart quiver. No one knew when
the next stroke would come.

rel tank full Gunsburg and Forman
lost one 1.600-barrel flow tank, half
full of oil. Crosbie & Davis lost
two 1,500-barrel tanks full of oil and
lost one derrick. l.. c. Hivick, drill
ing contractor, lost a full string Of
tools on the Crosbie lease. Red
River company lost four 1,600-barrel
tanks. Rex company lost four 1900
barrel tanks, three dirt tanks and
wood and dirt tanks containing about
$1,000 barrels of oil. Hernstadt lost
five 1,600-barrel tanks and two dirt
tanks containing about $4,000 barrels
of oil. Mutual Benefit lost two
l,600-barrel tanks. 1t is also re-
ported that other losses occurred on
leases in sections 81 and 6, but the
amount of loss is not known.
Oil field people were out at four
o'clock Thursday morning, getting
men and teams to do ditching to pro-
tect tanks on other property, as the
oil in the burning tanks would burn
over and spread and catch other
property on fire. The Twin State. the
Magnolia, the Rex, the Corsicana
and j. E. Crosbie worked all day
Thursday trying to control the fires.
A large number of other proper
ties had narrow escapes from fire
and were only saved by paying big
prices for help and teams. The fire
ran down to the Max Westheimer
lease in section 9, but his property
was saved by fire ditch which his
men dug with teams, in the rain.
Also the Corsicana tool house was
saved the same way. Quite mum
Der of oil and water tanks ran over,
losing considerable oil that way, and
number of water tanks went out.
The field is very much demoral-
lied and could only find two drilling
wells in field Thursday. 1t is re-
ported that the Magnolia will not
be in shape to take any oil for two
or three days.
Another rainstorm started at 10
p. m. Thursday night, with some
lightning and large number of
people living in the center of the
field left on account of being afraid
that another storm was coming.
The Crystal Oil company in sec
ton lost a rig by fire Thursday,
Contractor Daniels lost string of
tools which was being used in drilling
well where a strong flow of gas
was found

Pontotoc County Pool.

(From The Oil and Gas JournaD
Regardless of the many dry holes
that have been completed during the
past few months, operators in the
Allen pool and vicinity, in Pontotoc
county, keep the drill moving. The
recent finding of fair well near Ada
has resulted in some new work, but
the country is very spotted and it
will be some time before it is known
what the surrounding area is good
for.
The latest completion is the Nc
Thwaite Oil & Gas Co.'S test in the
northeast corner of the southwest
quarter of section 1886, which is
showing 100000 cubic feet of gas
at $50 feet. 1t will be remembered
that the initial test was a gasser of
the same caliber, while No was a
25-barrel well. No. l was quarter
of a mile south of the late compile
ton. Three locations east of No.
the same company is starting No.
1. In the northeast corner of sec
tion 13-4-5, the McThwaite company
is drilling at 755 feet, having a small
showing at 400 feet. In the north.
east of the south half of the ncrth-
east quarter of section 2-5-i, the Her
cules Oil Co.'S No l Hybarger has
resumed drilling after fishing at SO
feet, the drill now dancing merrily
on at 945 feet. In the southeast of
the southwest of the southeast quar-
ter of section 1915, the BucKhorn
Oil Co. is drilling at S94 feet and
should reach the sand this week.
In section 14-i-5, the Gladys-Belle Oil
company is drilling at 750 feet, Bur
ton & Co. are reported drilling in
section 1865, and the Jones Farm
Oil Co is doing the same in section
34-5-S. In section 25-5-S, reports on
the well being drilled by Gibson ct
al. are lacking. In section 1o-i-5,
Ada parties are reported drilling at
$50 feet.

Runs Cut to 35 Per Cent.

tFrom The Oil and Gas JournaD
On Wednesday of this week, the
Prairie Oil 4 Gas company made a
further cut in the amount of oil to
be run in the different pools, outside
of the Cushing development and here
after till further notice, the company
will take but 35 per cent of the
amount of oil that it formerly handled.
No further change has been regis
tered by the other pipe line compan.
ies-The Texas company is handling
30 per cent and the Gulf Pipe Line
company 60 per cent.

the object of a movement recently
inaugurated in California. The oil
producers of that state have been
watching the trend of affairs of Okla
homa. They have been pleased with
the way in which the corporation
commission has been doing things in
this state and will try something OF
the same sort, if present plans de-
velop as desired.
The Californians are convinced that
government by commission has some
desirable features. They would have
a law passed authorizing the form
alton of a commission that would eX-
ercise over the petroleum and gas
industry a direct Influence and pow
er; a commission that would say to
the producer, "Thus far, and no far
ther, shalt thou go" in the matter
of production. Whenever an over
supply makes itself apparent they
would have intervention by the COM
missioners. The Oklahoma idea OF
cutting out prospective wells; drill
ing wells to the top of the sand and
adopting a waiting and watching
policy" pending the possibility OF
more desirable prices; pro rating pipe
line runs, drilling only Offset wells
when necessary, putting up storage,
etc, to regulate the volume of supply,
is considered correct solution of
the troubles of the trade in\ Cali
fornia.
A San Francisco man named J. II
G. Wolf, who is said to know much
about oil matters, has drafted sam
pie bill which is submitted as a mod
el for the Legislators to study. 1t
provides for the appointment of three
commissioners to be paid $1,000
year; one to be a lawyer, another a
geolOgist and the third a practical
oil man. The commissioners, it is
stipulated, shall have legal authority
to regulate prices of petroleum and
natural gas in that state and to fix
the amount of oil to be produced from
the wells. The proposed corporation
commission would also have power
| according to VOLTS plans, to prevent
waste of oil and gas due to water in
filtration, etc.
In California a vast amount of oil
is wasted by various means and this
feature Of the proposed legislation
is regarded as one of much import
ance.
In West Virginia and other east
ern oil fields producers of petroleum
have also taken notice of Oklahoma
oil regulations, and it is understood
that efforts will be made to have en-
acted similar legislation to that in
force here and proposed in Califor-
mia.
Thus it may be seen that Oklaho-
mas statesmen are being recognized
as eXamplars worthy of emulation in
matters 'relatin' and appertainin' to
the fixing of legal restrictions on the
ebb and flow of oil.
