Still TRIMMING CUSHING

The black streak of dry holes run
ming along the eastern edge of the
north end of the Cushing pool has
been carried a quarter of a mile furth-
er north by the failure of the Carter
Oil company's northeast well on the
Luther Manuel, in the northeast cor
ner of 4-1S-7 This hole is now about
1850 feet deep. and dry.
This gives different look to the
southwestern portion of 34-19-1, and
indicates a speedier exhaustion of the
northeastern edge of the district than
has been expected. City

Will Drill Near Ardmore

J. +. McCarty and Mike German
have 1900 acres of good looking oil
land within about six miles of Ard
more, and are planning to drill a test
for oil to a depth of l,S00 feet. They
are asking for the bonus money which
Ardmore has been talking of giving
to one who will bring in a pay well
within ten miles of Ardmore. They
propose to ask for amounts such as
the people are willing to give pro
cided a well comes in, making as
many as fifty barrels a day. If the
well comes in, the money is to be paid
and in exchange for the money
lease on fifty acres within three.
fourths of a mile from the well will
be given those who contribute toward
the bonus fund. If the well is not
producer, McCarty & German agree to
exact no payments of money, but will
shoulder the loss themselves In 9th
er words those who give to the fund
will be rewarded by the development
of field near Ardmore and an in
terest in a close-in lease, and if the
well is not a producer, they are not
out anything. The proposition looks
like fair one, and one man already
has signed up to give $1,000. That
man was j. S. Mullen, president of the
chamber of commerce.

When NJ. A. billiard Of Midlothian,
Texas built a pipe line from the
Thelma lease into Ringing for the
purpose of making oil shipments, the
producing company agreed to sell him
oil at 25c. The lower price was given
in the way of a bonus to induce the
building of the line. 1t is understood
here that the corporation commission
has approved this deal, and the same
price will prevail with reference to
oils purchased from other companies
who might desire to make shipments
through that line.

1913, is drilling at a depth of about
700 feet. The red beds have been
passed and the drill is now in blue

The man who suffers the seyerest
blow when oil field shut downs occur
are those engaged in the contracting

Men are scarce in the field here now.

than at any other time for the past
eight months and some Of the work
