GRABBING AN ANTiCLlNE
An Incident Which Shows How Ex
citement Controls Oil Men.

An incident is occurring here now
which happened at one time in Tulsa.
In stephens county in township
south and range west an anticline
has been located and the oil men
are playing it. There is no prcduc-
tion close, and some busters have
been drilled near it to a depth OF
something ike 1000 feet. But the
oil men are excited. and when they
start in a drove for a given area,
prices begin TO jump. As much as
$50 an acre has been paid there, and
one man who has seen two pieces,
which he wants, will have those pieces
if he has 10 pay as much as $50 an
acre.
There is an excitement peculiar to
the oil business. When men are
headed in a given direction, they al
low eycitemen. to get the better of
their judgment, and pay prices that
are unreasonably high. when there is
no production in sight.
II is stated here,-but that state
ment has not been confrmed,-that
Duncan parties will start a well soon
in that area in section 1924, and
it is also stated that if the Gypsy sue
ceeds in blocking the acreage it wants
that it will drill test in that sec
tion of the county. IT is also stated
that W. G. Skelley has taken some
acreage near the town of Velma for
the purpose of drilling an oil test

c. y. Sherman has moved here from
Tulsa, and is living at 2O7 Second
avenue, northwest. Mir. Sherman en-
tered the oil business in Pennsylvania
30 years ago, and never has engaged

he has decided to move here and to

This Good Year.

The year 1916 is going TO be the
greatest year in the history of the
United States for the oil men, said
an old-timer today There is an un-
precedented demand for petroleum
and its products, the price is going
to stay high. There will be a ready
market for every barrel produced
The oil refneries have every condition
to make their business prosperous,
and the producers have the best
chance of their lives to make a for
tune in this good year The prospects
are that some big fields will be

The Texas CompanY.

Mr.. Riggs, a Tulsa geologist, and
his helper, Mr. Foster, are working
out of Ringing these days for the
Producers OIL company, which is the
producing end of the Texas Company.
These men are working mostly about
the Healdton field and it is not i'm
probable that the Producers will drill
tests surrounding Healdton. The
company is now drilling in 22-i-3 and
in 2-4-3, both of which are in terri
tory supposed to be on the edges Of
the field, if they are in the producing
area at all.
The Producers had an excellent
opportunity TO get a hold at Healdton
when acreage was selling at SOC an
acre, but the company did not think
well of the southern portion of the
state then, and turned down most of
the acreage offered it by its man in
this field before the discovery well
at Healdton was drilled. The thick
ness of the sands at Healdton, the
shallow depths of the wells, and the
big production, has resulted in bring
ing about a change of mind toward
southern Oklahoma and the company
would like to get in now and share
in the profits Of this OF area.

Rreaklrn Ircn with Water.

A simple way of breaking a mass
of iron is explained by an engineer.
In a mass two feet square and four
feet long he bored a perpendicular
hole one inch in diameter and be.
tween three and four inches deep.
This he filled with water and closed
with an accurately fitted iron bolt.
One heavy blow on the bolt broke
the mass into two pieces.

There are other pools to develop. and

make money out of the business this
year should go to the cotton patch.

Cooke county, Texas, has reached a
depth of 1915 feet This well found
lime at 1000 feet and the drill has
penetrated it to a depth Of 975 feet
