GYPSY HAS
Bic GASSER
NEAR FOX
ROAR OF ESCAPING GAS CAN BE
HEARD FOR MILES - LOOKS
LIKE NEW OIL FIELD HAS BEEN
FOUND.

The Gypsy well in 1928, near the
town of Fox. in Carter county, reach
ed a gas sand at depth of l,S2O
feet. The sand was reached Friday
and the well was reported Friday
afternoon as making from three to
five million feet of gas. w. b. John
son who, with Chas. Won Weise, owns
the fee to the land upon which the
well is located received another tele-
phone message early yesterday morn
ing. in which it was stated that the
well was making something like fifty
million feet of gas and was spraying
some oil The roaring OF the gas
at Fox, a distance of three miles,
could be heard very distinctly. Mem
bers of the Gypsy Oil company and
others left here Friday night for the
well, and up to press hour last night
had not returned. The rep 'rt is very
encouraging. The site is about ten
miles north of the Healdton field,
and il looks like a new field is being
developed in that section o: the coun-
ty. Much interest was taEen in the
well yesterday by men of the oil fra
ternity.
This location was said to have been
made scientifically. Biologists for
the Gypsy company selected If and
II was approved by geoloRists for
the Mutual Benefit Oil company,
which company would have drilled =
well there if the Gypsy company had
not held so great an acreage in
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-11-14

that locality. when the well began
to look bad, when several salt water
sands were found, when, in the Gyp-
~ offices ii was called a dustcr, the
people became somewhat discouraged
and no little fun was pohed at the
scientific methods of locating drilling
sites. When the company wanted to
abandon the hole II is said that the
The geologsts pleaded with them
to continue the drilling, aud it seems
now that the company has been jus
tilted in following the advice of
the men it pays to locate oil terri
tory.
A field there means moro to Ard
more and to Carter county than we
can tell in this paper. II will mean
pipe line facilities will be given the
county, it will mean that all this ter
ritory in the southern portion of the
state will be known as prospective
oil territory and almost every land
owner will be able to receive money
for an oil lease on his lands. 1t VIII
mean vast amount of drilling. OF
tank building, of tank farm purchases
it will mean employment for hun
dreds of men and will pu. southern
Oklahoma on the oil map to stay.
LATER. Parties returned here last
night direct from the well. They
state that it is really a big gasser.
The noise can be heard al Graham
four and a half miles away, distinctly.
An estimate of fifty million feet Is
not a bad one. The gas, however
is dry, and the well is not spraying
any oil. The Gypsy is making every
effort to drill on through the gas
sand and to complete The well as an
oil test.

ENTERS
LARGELY INTO
THE OH. CANE
MAN WHO TOOK LAND FOR AGRl-
CULTURAL PURPOSES IN THE
HEALDToN DISTRICT SEVERAL
YEARS AGO. REAPlNG FORTUNE.

There is perhaps no business an
the world that the element OF luck
enters into as strongly as 1t does Ill
the oil business, in fact, the very ele-
ment that makes men take gamblers
chance is what makes the game so fas-
cinating and has lured many to wealth
and likewise a host to failure since
petroleum was discovered. Luck comes
TO some men in huge chunks, howev-
er. who have no idea whatever of the
oil business, and fortunes are being
accumulated by men who never dream
ed that some day their income would
be greater than they could possibly
spend for instance the case of E. I.
Richards of McAlester who owns land
in the Healdton fields.
Richards came to this country many
years ago and became citizen of the
/ Indians through marriage. When lands
were allotted he took his, together
with his family in what is now the
Healdton oil field, never dreaming at
the time that he was getting OIL land,
| in fact he took the land for agricultural
purposes and gavD no thought to oil.
| whatever, but the land was good for
agricultural purposes and it was put
into cultivation and so operated until
the Haaldton pool was discovered.
OF his 760 acres practically every
| foot is in proven territory, the McMan
company have leases on $50 acres, the
Corsicana Petroleum Company, $50
acres. and the Crystal Oil Co. 100 acres
| and his one-eighth royalty from this
| combined property is giving him 5000
| barrels of oil daily. With oil at forty
| five cents per barrel his income is
$2,25O per day, every five cent raise
in the price of oil means $3.50 per day
to this man. and five cent raises have
| been coming frequently of late.
Not nearly all of this land has been
drilled. there are three times as many
ocations on the property as there are
| wells. ard it can readily be seen where
lis royalties will mount To when the
and is all drilled and the price of oil
advancing as it is every few days.
Mr.. Richards and his family live at
McAlester where be is taking life easy
and worrying not at all over the flu
ture. He frequently congratulates him
self for selecting his allotment at
Healdton when the lands were appor-
toned, rather. than take chances on
securing some coal lands as he first
contemplated doing.

oLENWooD LEASE INVOLVED
No Fraud Practiced and Genwood co
is Secure in it's Holdings.

In the equity case OF John X. lie
Bousquet VS.. Joe OFT, ED. Sheegog ana
f. j. Ramsey, tried in the federal court
before Judge Campbell here yesterday
the court awarded judgment to the
defendants AT the close OF the testf
mony for the plaintiff, the defense not
being permitted 10 introduce any testr
mony.
The case involved the lease of a
ten-acre tract of land in the heart OF
the Henldton oil field, valued at more
than $4,000 nov producing property
operated by the Glenwood Oil com
pany. OFT is the Indian owner of the
property which was leased by Messrs.
Sheegog and Ramsey the plaintiff in
the case alleging that fraud entered
in the transaction.
At the close of the PLAINTIFFS tes-
timony, the court announced from the
bench that the testimony had failed
70 establish in any way the allegation
Of fraud or conspiracy, saying that
Il had not been shown that the de
PENDANTS had been guilty Of conduct Of
any kind or character upon which such
on allegation could be based, but that
the entire transaction had been car
ried out fairly and honestly.
The nlaintin i'm the case was reDrp-
sented by Attorney Matthews of Nc
Alester, and the defendants by Attor-
neys l.. s. Dolman of Ardmore Rogers
Of McAlester G. l.. Macarthur Of Lind

Writ Franklin, Roy NJ. Johnson and
Sam A. Apple, have organized the
Vernon Collins Oil company. The
name was taken from the name of
the owner of the fee to the land
which the three men are operating
in section 16-4-3. The company has
drilled one well on the S0-acre tract
in that section, offsetting the Okla
homa Star. While some trouble was
had with the well, it is believed that
it will make a pay well. The well
made so good a showing that the re
port first published was somewhat
exaggerated. Vernon Collins, who is
a son of the late Ben Collins, and
for whom the company was named,
owns the fee to the lands icing oper-
ated by the Scivally Petroleum com
pany, the Desada Oil company and the
Vernon Collins company. Some OF
these DAYS he will have IA nice roy
alty in that section of the field.
