MORE THAN 20 900 BARRELS 4
DAY ON ONE MARKHAM LEASE
Building Rigs for More Wells and
Constructing Tanks to Care for
Increased Production.

YALE, Okla, Jan. 16.-The failure
to get tankagc completed caused the
shutting down Of all drilling of Me
Man wells which were in the sand.
Had 1t not been or this fact this
company would have had a further
increase in production in a day or so.
The company is taking measures to
for its future production, which
Is sure to increase for some time.
John Markham jr., No. is on the
e, Narhola, is drilling in and is max
ing $50 barrels per. day at present.
In the past week the Markham
company has completed rigs for Nos.
p. 20, "a and % ON the h. Yarhola
lease and Is hauling material for Nos.
GO and %.
The Markham wells are now pro-
ducing 20. 800 barrels u day and are
proving to be among the best wells
in the field from the standpoint Of
sustained production. At the present
time the above production all comes
from the f.. Yarhola allotment, on
which there are only six Bartlesville
wells. This company has started
drilling in its Luther Manual lease,
which is practically proven oil terri
tory and which will further increase
the production.
There now are IA completed tanks
en- the Markham farm, and three
building. The company has pur-
chased more land and will build tanks
rs the production demands.

PRODUCTION IN CUSHING Is
SHOWING CONTINUOUS DECLINE
Total Saturday Was 5000 Barrels
From 1879 Wells; Shortage OF
Tankagc Is Handicap.

The total production of the Gushing
field Saturday was $4,000 barrels
from 4S9 wells.
The Mc-Man oil company's wells
have shown some Increase since drill
ing in, but there is no material M
crease or declination in the total out
put of their daily production, which
stiIl is around the fifty thousand
mark. ,
A well-authenticated report reached
Tulsa Saturday evening that the CHM
AKRON Oil company's well In the river
bed; which was good for 5000 barrels
o day, has gone into salt water, and
the well was ruined.
A similar report Is made on the
John II. Markham, jr., well, No. IL on
the Eliza Yarhola. .
Markham, No. IS, same lease Is good
for 500 barrels a day with 30 feet OF
sand.
No. 20. same lease has increased to
gas barrels an hour after drilling
somewhat deeper. ,
The Twin State No. s on the Mabel
Dale which made 1900 barrels the
first "a hours went into water, but the
production of oil showed no appreci-
able decrease.

DIDN'T KNOW GOOD THING;
OIL MEN LOSE OUT,

The following story comes to the
oil editors desk from Yale, and here
with Is printed for what 1t is worth.
Some Of the small leases in the
oil fields of Oklahoma have proved
valuable for their owners but the
record SO far as to the expectations
are concerned, is held by a little two
and a half-acre tract in 4-1S-7, which
is nearly a mile from any production.
Tho tract is held by some parties
In Tulsa, and as the production APP
preached their holdings they saw
how they could dI : and drain the
Gil from the land surrounding, This
was also seen by the two large COM
panies who held the land on each
side OF the little lease, and they en-
tered into negotiations to purchase
the little tract and finally offered
$4,000 an acre for the lease. The
holders OF the lease. thinking them
selves secure. held u for S35. 600,
and as a result the large companies
are building eight rigs about the
diminutivc lease, and the oil left I'M
der 1t when the wells are completed
will hardly pay to drill for"

as the whites, including pensions.
Let them do that in return for the
education and equal protection we
help them to. I think it a very low

solve all trusts, including the money
trust just as fast as it is possible to
reach them, and put the business of
issuing money where the Constitu-
ton put it

matters separate. Free speech and
press, no sectarian donation by the
government in any case whatever,
and to enact stringent laws against
all sectarian prisons, or places of
detention, and also to investigate all
Houses of Good Shepherds, including
converts, nunneries, etc, and in case
we find the civil and moral laws Of
the land violated, bring all guilty
parties before the law and punish
them as the law directs, regardless

cation in life and on investigation if
we find such building is used to hide
crime and infamy, demolish it by not
leaving one cubic foot of the mate

port him from our shores, and fur

the welfare of farmers or working
men generally whether in the econo-
mic or political field, and it has been
my experience as between American
and foreigners generally, the for
eigners we're more apt to submit to
abuses longer than the Americans.
In conclusion, / regret to say that
I am afraid that Wyoming is doomed
to the same fate as Colorado The
Colorado Fuel sand Iron Company,
(the Rockefeller INTEREST," bought
the coal mines here at Crosby, three
or four years ago, and their coal de-
mand has been largely supplied from
here during the progress of the
strike in Colorado. In addition to
this the Standard Oil Co. has large
holdings here in the local Grass
Creek Oil Field and in the State
Greek District near Casper in the
center of the State, and our State
Board of Tax Equalization as COM
PLEASANT and Subservient as it is, is
experiencing difficulty in collecting
the taxes on the oil and iron ores,
which the Rockefeller interests are
shipping out Of the State The Tax
Board has already reduced the valua-
ton once or twice, because the
Rockefellers objected and did not
want to pay it. Rockefeller wants
to own the universe you know, but
it is against his principles to want
to pay his just share of the taxes.
There are more men out of
employment here this winter than
l ever saw in the West before, and
we are experiencing the hardest
times that we have had since 1907.

A GOOD OLD MAN OF 81 YEARS
GIVES HIS VIEWS.

Dear Sir: l am so used to having
the jeff on Thursday night to read,
l am lonely tonight without it, how
ever l will try to write a little on
the subject of name and platform
to run on as a means of getting
back to the old Democratic trough.
] would not object to the name Pro-
gresive, only for the reason that Mr..
Wilson has wallowed it in the filth
until it savors of bad odor which
makes it obnoxious to true Demo
crat, and having never seen anything
which. expresses my views on the
subject, and being the Oldest man
perhaps that will write on it, l would
suggest as a name, Lovers of Liberty,
with the following declaration of
principles:
list. Declare for silver and gold
admitted to the minis at the ratio
of 16 to 1, with a sufficient amount
of u. S. currency to insure b0unti-
full supply to do the commercial bust
ness of the country at all times and
make any and all of it legal tender
for all debts to be settled in the U.
S., public and private, each dollar
to be worth 100 cents IN the pay
ment OF any debt, and safeguard it
against counterfeiters with suitable
stringent legislation.
End. Declare for economy land
stick to IT'D in the administration of
the governments affairs.
3rd. And being convinced that
when these United States formulated
or organized rules by which the peo-
pie should be controlled, it was de-
clared that It should be a white
mans govern ment, and that no man
that had not been citizen for 21
years was entitled to vote or hold
office, or serve on juries O. k. CT.
hold to that YETI
4th. (Now for the niger, ETC.
| hold that it is fair to protect them
in their person and property the
same as white people and aid them
in getting a reasonable degree of
education, but in no case put them
where they have authority to lord it
over white people in any way, Chat
would be better for all,) and for
said protection, etc., require them

SPEAKS UP FOR THE FOREIGNER
AND TELLS MORE OF HOW
T2OCTEEFEELER DODGES
TAXES

Dear Sir: | am taking the liberty
Of addressing a few lines to you, as
I think | notice in recent numbers
Of The JeffersOnian tendency to slur
at and blame the foreigner as being
the cause of some Of our industrial
troubles in Colorado and elsewhere.
While | do not doubt the wisdom
of limiting immigration, in fact am
heartily in favor Of it myself, but the
truth Of the matter is the corpora
tons in this country have carried on
a systematic campaign Of misrepre-
sentation throughout Europe, and the
capitalists in. the North and West
used and exploited the immigrant
just as they did the negro before the
Civil War. However, | do not think
it right or just for us to condemn
or blame the poor foreigner, or any
other working man for organizing
and trying to get something like
justice.
My father, Mr. A. A. Miller, of
Minden, La, always took an active
part in farmers organizations, or
whatever concerned the welfare of
the farmer sgenerally, was one of
the Farmers Alliance delegates to
the Peoples Party convention at
Omaha in 1892, when ] was yet in
my teens, later he was Farmers AL
lance and Populist nominee for
Sheriff of Webster Parish in 1896,
but suffered the same fate as your
self, as the Democrats stuffed and
stole the ballot boxes and counted
him out, and in more recent years

for I am in my Saith year and feeble,

but only to be of benefit to the
generations to follow do [ offer this

tail of the bloody shirt loose and cease
to work for party, but work for princi-
pal and in the interest of good gov

honest government the common herd
has got to work together, and as
they are largely in the majority they

the common people of the North and

CHINA AND JAPAN TO /
SETTLE CONTROVERSY
PEAcEABLY, is REPORT

Especial Cable TO the Nippu Jill
TOXIC, Japan, Feb. 9.-An amicable
settlement Of the difficulties which
have arisen between Japan and China
during the past week will be effected
within a few days to the satisfaction
of both governments, according TO a
message received here from E. Hioka,
Japanese minister DIT Pekin.
Minister Hioki was in conference
yesterday with President Yuan Shfh-
Kai and reports that negotiations are
proceeding fayorably.
The difficulties between Japan aud
China arose through the StDding of Il
note TO the Japanese government by
Yuan Shih-Kai asking that Japan re-
move its troops from the Shaatuns
Peninsula, on which is loe1ted Tsing-
tau. the former German payal base
bombarded and taken by the Japanese
at the beginning of the waf.
In reply to the note, Japan made de-
mands upon China for the privilege
OF building railroads and operating
certain mines in the new republic.
These difficulties aroused considerable
interest in the local Japanese COM
munity, the Nipponese press even go-
ing SO far as to hint at war as a pos
sible outcome of the breach between
the nations.
