Water Situation at Cushinu.

Late reports from Gushing show
that the water situation is more
acute than it has been and some
important wells are being drilled into
water. The Katy Oil company's No.
II, Long farm, section 9-1S-7, is the
latest to report a dose of water and
an attempt is being made to case
off the fluid, but so far it has proven
frutless. The well had been drilled
to the deeper pay when the water
was struck. The McMan Oil com.
panys No. 5, Agnes Scott allotment,
same section, which was a fairly
good well in the 2,65O-foot sand. was
drilled deeper and it also developed
water, which decreased the produc-
ton rapidly. B. b. Jones also de-
Veloped water on the Sarah Rector
lease in No. 3S, section 6-1S-7, and
so far but little success has been
made in shutting it off. The Bar
tlesville sand was struck at 2,4OO feet
and continued 81 feet, and at 2,575
feet the first sign of water was
noticed.-Bartlesville Examiner.

WIKI rejoice that another pool of oil
has been found in the county.
There are today three pools of oil
in Carter county. There may be more,
as the development work has only
begun. The new pool is something
like twelve miles northeast of the
Healdton field, and is a little west
of north of the Santa Fe field 1t is
believed the well will make some
thing like 500 barrels a day and is
better well than the initial well
in the Healdton field.
The new pool adds millions OF
wealth to Carter county. 1t will
bring a greater development to the
northwest portion of the county and
moons that a vast sum of money will
be placed into the channels of trade
for leases and for drilling.

Dundee Petroleum company No 4
on the Hapgood lease in section g.
49, finished at a total depth of 100
feet The well had two sands. ag-
gregating a thickness of so feet.
There was no room for testing pro-
duction and what the well will make
is not known. The production is
said to be not quite so good as the
Gates No. which was drilled as its
Offset. While the Ardworth people
are expecting the Dundee people to
begin Immediately upon No. 3 on the
same lease, the Dundee people stated
today that they had not decided yet
whether they would begin at once or
not.

MacauIaY and His Razor.

Macaulay was though

suits are recorded in his biography
When he sailed for India and his
chambers were cleared, there were
found between fifty and sixty strops,
hacked into strips and splinters, and
innumerable razors in every stage of
disrepair. At one time he hurt his
hand and had to go to the barber.
After tho operation he asked the
charge. "Oh, whatever you usually

was the answer. in that case" said
Macaulay. Il should give you a great

Pond Oil Purchase,

The Magnolia Pipe Line company
has taken from the field 100000 bar
rels of pond OIL, which it agreed TO
take at SOC a barrel Art l.. Walker,
oil conservation officer, estimates
that the oil still remaining in ponds
in the field amounts to as much as
125,OOO barrels. The majority of the
oil left is said to be on the Twin
State lease where the royalty owners
refused to take less than SOC a barrel
for the oil, and no sale was made
The Crosbie lease is also said to
have quite bunch of pond oil.

Is Crosbie Common Purchaser?

What the Ardmore Refining com.
pany will do in oil purchases from
other producers will probably be de-
termined within a short time. One
of the producers applied to the man.
ager on the Crosbie lease in section
. to sell OIL The manager replied
that the person desiring to sell must
build his line to the Crosbie pump
station, must build his tank for the
accommodation of the oil, and must
be willing to accept 2Oc barrel.
The producer, who is a neighbor to
the Crosbie property, states that he
will take the matter up with the cor
poration commission ana will endeav-
or to have the matter ironed out.

Gates Oil company No. 3 in the
southwest of section 3-4-3 is finished
at total depth of 1862 feet. In all
three sands with a combined thick
ness of about so feet were found. The
last sand, which was the best pro-
ducing sand, was 43 feet thick The
well flowed twenty feet over the top
of the derrick, and the production,
by actual gauge, is 25 barrels an honr.

THE THIRD OIL POOL.
No Longer Cause for Any Doubt AS
to Wildcat Jim.

The most interesting oil news in
Carter county today is the report
from section IS, south and 2 west,
which states that Oil is flowing from
the Wildcat Jim well. The oil has
been getting a little higher in the
well each day, the gas seems to have
been becoming stronger each day and
a message came from the well early
this morning that it was flowing over
the sides of the casing in a steady
stream of oil. The belief obtains in
oil circles that it is an edge well.
II is believed that larger wells will be
brought in in that community, but
Just in what direction the field will
extend is not known, and will have
to be determined by the drill. The
belief is that the extensions will be

, Gushing, Okla, June 21-The now
= world-famous Gushing oil and gas
fields are chuck-lull of romance. The
