forty-three States of the United States
as we'll as the United States itself,
complete the roster of the Panama
Pacific Exposition. A general average
both of the foreign nations and of
the States have erected pavilions, in
many instances duplicates of famous
national structures or historical State
buildings. Hamlets Palace at Kron-
borg has furnished Denmark with the
design for its national pavilion and
the Palace of the Legion of Honor at
Paris has been copied by France.
Appropriations for exhibits range
from $1,700,000 by the Argentine Re-
public. in varying sums down to an
average of 100000 by other nations,
and from a gross total of cost for
building and exhibits by California Of
s2,000,000 to an average of approx
mately 100000 by the States of lesser
appropriation, SO it will be seen that
the show has not been so hard hit by
the war, after all.
With such a vast sum expended by
the foreign nations and by the States,
sum that goes considerably in excess
of $12,000,000, there will be repre-
sented the very quintessence of the
articles of commerce, art, science and
industry of every form that each State
and nation is noted for. The "see
America first tourists, who have
adopted that motto this year largely
because they cannot go to Europe,
will find plenty to repay them for q
visit to the city of the Golden Gate,
regardless of the handicap of war
abroad and hard times at home.

Indicates Deeper Sand.

Frank Cox, producer from Okmul-
gee, is here on his first visit to the Ard.
more oil district Before returning
home he will visit the field, and it is
possible that he will make some in
yestments before leaving. Mr. Cox
safes that the deep gas sand found in
the Fox pool lends encouragement to
the hope that there are deeper sands
in the Healdton field and for that rea.
son oil men are taking much more in
terest in the southern field than they
have ever taken before The deepest
gas sand found in the Healdton field
is in the McGhee well in section 10
which was drilled to a total depth of
1900 feet, while the heavy gas sand
in the Fox well was found at approx
matey 700 feet deeper. This feature
looks good to the oil men, and many
companies and individuals who have
not played Healdton before. are here
now.

TAX sales
|NVAL|DATED
FAILURE TO GIVE NOTICE BY
MAIL lNVAlIDATES, RULES
JUDGE HAYSON - IMPORTANT
RULINGS.

Oklahoma City, Nov. ga decis
ion which may render invalid nearly
1000 1913 Oklahoma City tax sales
was given Monday by Judge John
W. Hayson of the district court in
the case of George Flick against the
board of county commissioners. The
Judge held void the sale for back
taxes of property belonging to Mr..
Flick, when the testimony developed
that he had not received notice by
mail that the taxes were delinquent.
The mere fact that Mr.. Flick did be.
come informed that the taxes were
delinquent has no bearing on the
case, Judge Hayson decided. II de.
veloped that he received the informa-
tion through legal publication in a
newspaper. The court declared that
notice by mail, as provided by the
statute, is the only proper notice
According to Judge Hayson's de-
cision, Mr.. Flick, in order to recover
the property, will have to pay taxes
that have accrued against it, but
will be required to pay no interest
nor penalty up to Jan. /, 1915. From
that date until June 1 he will be
required to pay per cent interest,
and from June / until the taxes are
paid the rate of interest will be Is
per cent.
Several plaintiffs in the suits in
sttuted by Mr.. Flick did not appear
in court, and although the circum-
stances in their cases were similar
to those in the one heard, default
judgments in favor of the county
were rendered by Judge Hayson for
lack Of prosecution Judge Hayson
said he understood an effort would
be made to have the cases re-opened
for hearing as the result of the Flick
decision. He did not indicate wheth-
er he will grant such a plea.
Assistant County Attorney Sam
Hooker, who represented the board
of commissioners, did not say wheth-
cr the case would be taken to the
supreme court. In the event it is
decided to accept Judge Hayson's
ruling as final, it is probable that
prospective suits, based on similar
testimony, will be settled without the
formality of a hearing.
County Clerk VI. Cornelius said he
did not know the approximate number
of cases similar to that of Mr. Flick,
but said he is certain there are many.
He thought the number would ex-
coed 500, probably being nearer 1000.

Not Unusual for Wells in Mexico to

Persons who are now in the Mexico
fields near Tampico state that there
Is much activity in that country. The
oil is poor in quantity, but what ii
lacks in quality it makes up in quan
tity. A well that makes 5000 bar
rels is a small one, and some OF
them make as high as 100000 barrels
a day. There are no printed lease
forms in that country like those
used here The land owner and the
oil man get their heads together and
come to an agreement, and then the
agreement is reduced to writing and
the oil man then has the lease trans.
lated into English so he may under

Those who are acquainted with the
country do not hesitate to go there
at all, but those who have been there
but a short time feel that it is not
very safe for their families, and con
sequently many of the oil men have
not concluded yet to have their fami
lies go to them.

125,oOo barrels per day, conservative
oil men are OF the opinion that the ac.
tual production is not in excess Of
1900 barrels. and when all the wells
are opened and allowed to produce for
a period OF 80 days, it is believed tha.
the pipe line capacity Of the field
will practically take care of the pro
duction.
Mr Evans would not state that his
company would be a regular purchaser
of as much as 10000 barrels a day. His
engineer tells him that since the new
pumps have been installed that his
Sinch line to Gainesville has capaci.
ty OF 25,00Q barrels a day and he will
run 10000 barrels only, until his stor-
age is full. He is now building a 55, 00O
barrel steel tank In the field for the
exclusive use of customers of the pipe
line. Should for any reason the pipe
line be forced to shut down for a short
time, this steel storage in the field
would be given to the producers ana
their regular runs of oil would be
cared for. Mr.. Evans would naturally
like to see his line used to its capaci-
ty, and is in position to make com
mon carrier shipments OF oil. Any pro.
ducer who desires to use the line for
this purpose would be required to pro
vide means at the end of the line to
take care of the oil upon its arrival
there

Small Wells Look Good.

L. c. Hivick returned yesterday from

that the oil business is very active
there. Producers are drilling now for
7 and barrel wells, whereas a few
months ago, wells that would not pro
duce any more oil than that, could not
be made to pay and were not drilled,
The price in that portion of the state
is now 81 a barrel, and producers are
expecting better price at any time.

Norris field South of Sapulpa he pur-
chased another so acres with an off
set to be drilled at once and in an
adjoining section he purchased 40
acres with a producing well only 400
feet away. His intentions are to start
two drills on his new holdings south
of Sapulpa. He also purchased so
acres southwest of Keifer with two
producing wells, from l.. c. Hivick of

the market price The Producers Refn-
ing company at this time does not have
a gathering system extensive enough
to reach production that will give
them this much oil, but Mr. Evans will
present the matter to an early meet
ing of the directors, and it is very
probable that a complete system OF
gathering lines will be built by this
aggressive new company. Mr. Evans
is in accord with nearly all of the pro
ducers in the field, in the belief that
the state should remove all restriC
tions from the field His company is
now ready to take 10000 barrels a
day, and by the end of the week the
Magnolia Pipe Line Company will
make announcement it is ready to
take 10000 barrels and with the
amount of oil that is going into stor-
age, these two runs will practically
take care of the production of the
field. While these two lines are busy.
II must not be overlooked that the
Armstrong -Crosbie line, and also the
