II. p. MCCULLOUGH.

We have been told frequently that
our column was placing the produc
ton of the Healdton field too high.
several of those we'll acquainted with
the situation have said that the actual
production was not more than 10000
barrels a day. Mr.. j. Nj. CrltchloN
who drilled the initial well in The
field and who is one of the big pro
ducers not only in Healdton but Il.
many other fields, states that the IL
spectors reports from the actual gaug
ing of wells shows the production to
be 10000 barrels. These figures VIII
surprise the old heads in the oil busi
ness. Mr.. Sterling of the Humble Co
| has been of the opinion that the pro
duction could be put to 10000 barrels
but he doubted its going beyond those
figures. But the oil is there and the
| figures are not to be denied. Hat
there not been a cessation Of drilling
/ the PRODUCTION today would haze beer
! at least $4,000 barrels. The Healdtol
field has proven to be a surprise il
all oil circles. 1t is a greater field thai
the optimists ever thought it woul(
make. Vast profits lie beneath thu
surface yet and when the companie
operating there realize upon their in
yes4meats, the streams of revenue viii
enrich all this portion of the state.
