BOB GALBREATH
VISITS ARDMORE
WILL SINK TESTS TWENTY-FIVE
MILES SOUTH OF ALIEN. AT
BROMIDE.

One of the interesting visitors to
the city yesterday was Robert Gal
breath of Tulsa, democratic national
committeeman from Oklahoma.
Mr.. Galbreath is promoting the
town of Bromide, located north OF
Wapanucka in the old Choc;a" ha-
ton, and he will begin within a
short time to drill some oil tests
in that portion of southern okla
hOma.
Mr.. Galbreath is one of the big
operators of the sta md he is OF
the opinion that tn. W. held ex-
tends to the south a"o,s. he
has excellent prospects of ~ %
ing field 25 miles south OF Ne
Allen field. He stated that he hat
been too busy to think of politics
lately and had nothing to say along
that line, but he talked freely OF
the southwest oil pool, which has
been located in the western portion
of Garter county, He has had his
attention called to this country sew
eral times and has made visits to
the asphalt deposits of the county.
He states that this section has
more asphalt and better asphalt
than any other country on the globe
and this condition led him to form
the opinion that the oil fields here
would never produce oil except of
h heavy asphalt variety, such as
was found in the Santa Fe field
Healdton operations, however, nave
proven his theory TO be false.
Mr.. Galbreath stated that he did
not have any interests at Healdton
and was too busy at this time to
give the field ANY of his attention.
