civil engineer, and Edward Collins,
miner, were carried down the side OF
Kelso mountain at West Argentine,
Colo, by an avalanche that swept
them into the gulch below and piled
seventy feet of snow over their
bodies. West Argentine is eight miles
west of this city, in a district sur.
rounded by steep mountains, but
which is seldom visited by slides. The
avalanche that swept down Kelso

JOHNSON FIELD STARTING
Roy M. johnson Begins Drilling This
Week in New Territory.
23-1nlO

Roy VI. Johnson, former editor and
owner of The Ardmore Statesman,
but who is now member of the
Crystal Oil company, and who outside
of his Crystal interests has an income
from royalties of 81 600 a month. has
begun activities to open up what he
thinks will be another oil pool for
the southern portion of the state. He
has blocked 5000 acres and out of
this acreage he owns in fee 400 acres
The first well has been located in
the northwest corner of the northeast
of the northeast of the southwest of
section 1884, in Jefferson county,
The acreage lies between the Loco
and Healdton fields. and is in the
same township as the Bess Tucker
lease. In the section where the well
is to be drilled, Mr.. Johnson owns
all of it except 30 acres. He has
been very successful in blocking the
acreage, and has it almost in a solid
body. julius Fohs of Tulsa is the
geOlogist who has gone over the prop
ositiOn, and he THINKS the chances
are 80 to l that either oil or gas
will be found. The well is located
on distinct anticline, and some of
the larger companies have owned
acreages there for several years.
L. W. Burrow, who was for thirteen
years with the Texas Company, has
been placed in charge of the prop
erty as superintendent. The rig con
tract was awarded to Henry Davis
and the drilling contract has been
awarded to Disney & Cole Actual
drilling will be begun this week and
much interest will be taken in the
outcome of the test
If the well hits, Mr. Johnson will be
a much richer man, and if it misses
he can well afford to part with the
money required to do the drilling.
