GAS PIPE ON THE WAY.
six-inch Line viii Connect Ardmore
With Fox Gas Area.

six-inch Line Will Connect A"dmore
With Fox Gas Area.
The Ardmore Gas company has six
cars of siXinch pipe now en- route to
Ardmore to be used in the construc-
tion of gas line from Oil City to
Fox. The company has a siX-iICh
line from Ardmore to Oil City and
the line of the same size viii be con
noctod with the line out of this city
and Ardmcye will then have connec-
ton with the Fox gas area by six
inch instead of three-inch line
which has been used during the sum
mer as an emergency fne at a time
when the demand for gas was the
lowest. Before the disagreCablc
weather of winter comes the gas peo-
pie will have established this con
nection and t-e prospects are that
the city will have an abundance OF
gas this winter and for many more
winters to come from this area alone.
The first sand in this area is produc-
ing enough gas from one well to furn-
ish Ardmore and to furnish the drill
ling wells in that locality The pres
sure is practically where 1t was when
the connection was first made and
the deeper ard more prolific sand
has scarcely been touched. This in
dicates the strength of the gas pro
duction there and if the production
is not wasted in drilling oil wells
there will be plenty or gas there for
several years to come.

LOCO GAS FIELD.

Loco, Okla, Aug 2f.-ln section
9-3-5 in what is known as the Loco
gas field three wells are producing
oil. These wells will average about
% barrels a day each. Oil is being
placed now in wooden storage. \
gas well drilled some time ago in
section 10 in the same township>fs
making some oil, probably two or
three barrels a day. In section Il
3-5 the Golden Gate Oil company has
resumed drilling and it is probable
that this well will be kept going now
until it is completed. The depth is
400 feet. The Washita Gas company
in 15-3-5 has completed its first well.
The production is 13 y million feet
and the total depth is $50 feet The
company is preparing to start an
other well in the same section The
Lone Star Gas company in section
5-3-5 is drilling at 1850 feet The
drill is in a limestone formation
now. The gas sand found in section

Walter Cant of the Plains Oil and
Gas company has returned from Bill
lings where he went to make an in
vestigation of a new well which is
being drilled in at that point. The
well is located in section % 23n2w
and is about 20 miles north of Okla
homa City. The depth is 203G feet
it has no gas, several bailers of oil
were taken from the well, it is now
undcrreaming. The casing will be SET
on top of the sand and deeper drill
ling will be done. The opinion seems
to prevail that it will result in a pay
well but the facts cannot be determ
ined without further drilling.

BARELY SCRATCHED VET.
Judge Van Winkle Thinks Well of the
Ardmore Oil District


Judge j. NJ. Van Winlde was in the
fields yesterday from Oklahoma City.
He owns the Rocky Mountain twenty
acres in section 3-43. Four wells
have been drilled on the tract and all
of them are producing. They aver
age about fifty barrels to the we'll.
He is also interested in the Wildcat
Jim Oil company which is now drill
ling a well in section 1922, south
east of the Fox district and some
months ago purchased portion of
the fee to the Westheimer land in
section 31-3-3 which has a very nice
production.
1t is the opinion of Judge Van
Wrinkle that the resources of Healdton
field have only been touched. He
expects to see deeper sands found
that will produce more oil that the
shallow sands have ever produced.
He is greatly pleased with the out
look at Healdton as far as production
is concerned.

Makino 14CO Barrels.

Hamon-ColcOrd No. I on The Corey
"A" lease in the northeast of the
southwest of 15-4-3 is putting 400
barrels day into the tank. The
sand was reached at 1870 feet and
the well was drilled to total depth
of 1906 feet and stopped on top of a
shell. The owners feared to drill
through the shell. There might be
an oil sand beneath and again there
might be water. \ 1400-barrel well
looks good enough, without taking
any risks that are avoidable.
