The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-04-06

A. +. Baldwin, general manager of
the Lawrence Gas Company, whose
home is in Bridgeport, H., is spending
a week or more in the old fields of
Oklahoma and has been visiting here
with Chas. Hilligoss, superintendent
of the Lawrence Gas Company in the
Healdton field. Mr.. Baldwin is great
ly pleased with the investment which
his company has made in Healdton
and he is hopeful that deeper sands
will be found at Healdton which will
add greatly to the wealth of the field.
Mr. Baldwin says his company would
be glad to enter into a dry-hole con
tract with owners of neighboring prop
critics and inasmuch as a number of
local producers are willing to do the
same thing, it is probable that deal
will be made during the summer to
have deep test drilled at Healdton

Advance Pinches Contractors.

These are not very happy days for
the oil well contractors at Healdton
Drilling bits which are made of steel
have advanced in price within the
last three months from s "a cents a
pound to Is. cents. Manila drilling
cable has advanced within the last
three months from 15B cents to 221h
cents per pound All the supplies that
enter into the drilling of wells have
been advanced all the way from 80
up to as high as 100 per cent, and
the price for drilling has not advanced
TO keep pace with the advance in
supplies. Now since the producers are
getting their leases to q point where
they are making money, it looks like
it would be the part of wisdom and
also the part Of justice to advance
the drilling at least to S1.25 per foot.
The price which prevails at this time
is from $140 to $3.50.

section reached the sand at 1865 feet
and quit drilling at 1888. The well
had 100 feet of sand and the production
is $50 barrels natural. This well IS
600 feet north of No. well which was
the most northerly producer until No.
10 was drilled.
No. 20 on the same lease which is
500 feet farther north has a showing
of oil at 1925 feet and the casing is
being set today. Skelley & Russell have
a rig up on the Woodruff farm which
lies along the line of sections 80 and
81 which offsets the McMan well and
Shelley & Russell have begun to drill.
1t looks now very much like the oil
sands will extend clear through 81
and up to the line of 80. The Shelley
& Russell location is across ten-acre
tract from the north line of the sec
ton. The chances are good that the
Woodruff farm will be in the field A
well was abandoned on this farm in
the northwest corner of the section
at 1245 feet, and the contractors on
that well made the remark when it
was abandoned that it looked entirely
too good to be shut down.

representative here in L. w. Burrow
before the Healdton field was discov-

have secured much of the best acreage
at Hea,dton at prices ranging from

did not think well at that time of the

were recommended by Mr.. Burrow.

MaIoney Company Prosperous.

The Maloney Oil & Gas Company,
which has a 10-acre lease in the Heald-
ton field, has paid all of its expenses
incurred by drilling operations, and
the company is now out of debt 1t has
already declared a dividend of 80 per
cent and is in position to declare a
dividend each month. What is true of
the Maloney company is true of sew
eral other companies now at Healdton.
Many of them have already paid the
heavy expenses of drilling operations
and they are now engaged chiefly in
the production of oil and are gathering
the fruits of their investments.

in the crypt of the CapLchins by this
challenge from within:

The reply will be:

A second challenge and reply Of
similar nature will then be made. But
upon the third occasion that the ques-

Bodily Housekeeping
CBy SAMUEL HAMILTON. Mpl

III HaAMlLION, Nd. D.l
The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation BY
means of X-rays, the observations Of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner.
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during d.
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping. To drink a pint of hot
water before meals is good practice,
and those suffering from a catarrhal
condition of the stomach will find
benefit in adding about 10 grains Zone
sixth Of level teaspoonfuD of baking
soda, drinking it an hour before each
meal Those who are inclined to hyper
acidity should drink slowly a pint of
medium cold water, two hours after
meals.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of the
neck, take a little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store, and was first discovered by DR..
Pierce, of the Surgical Institute, in
Buffalo, N. Y.
When rundown, when life indoors
has brought about a Stagnant condition

filled with uric aid-especialiy is this
so of people past middle age. This
uric acid in the blood often causes
rheumatism, lumbago, swelling of hands
or feet, or bag-like condition under
the eyes. Bacxache, frequent urina-
ton or the pains and stiffness of the
joints and high blood-pressure, are also
often noticed. Every one should drink
plenty of pure water and exercise IN
