PENROSE DECLARES
OPENLY FOR SNYDER
FOR AUDITOR GENERAL
Makes Announcement of His
Support of Schuylkill County
Senator While Campaign
ing With Him
| IN PITTSBURGH TONIGHT

PITTSBURGH, April 81. - Senator
Boies Penrose came out openly today as
the champion of Senator Charles A.
Snyder for Auditor General, after CAM
palgnlng with him between Harrisburg
and this city. with Congressman b. X.
Forht. of Union County, they arrived here
laa night in the Penrose motorcar after
informal meetings at Chambersburg, NC
Connellsburg, Everett and Bedford. PEN
rose and Snyder will attend the Amerieus
Clubs Grant dinner tonight. The trip
here Law through two counties of Fochts
district, where he addressed the local
leaders in behalf of the continuation OF
the Penrose leadership in politics
That the trip to Pittsburgh was actually
with the idea of opening campaign
against the Vare- -Brumbaugh plans is not
denied. Senator Penrose VIII remain mere
at least until Sunday. He has appoint
ments he said with several hundred active
Republicans from the western counties
He will meet all of them here. IL Is Inn
probable that his speech at the dinner
tonight will contain much, II any, refer
ence to the fight for control in the state
His friends said there would, at least be
no offensive utterances. In all probability
they said, he would deal only with the
outlook OF tne tNepuoiiSah P'iN1 i ~
nation.
Has the opposition put up a full slate
of candidates for places on the State
Committee?" reporter asked the Senator.
There Is no doubt that 90 per cent.
of the next State Committee will be friend
ly to the regular Republican organiza'
tion; the opposition has asserted itself In
this matter only in desultory sort Oh
way" he answered
other than this, he would make no ref
erence to the situation in the State. His
conferences with western lieutenants be-
gan early this morning. He said he had
no regular program for campaigning be-
tween now and the primary election, but
expected to be about good deal.
1t is understood Senator Penrose does
not expect to discuss the State situation
in his Amerlcus Republican Club dinner
speech this evening. Before departing for
Pittsburgh. however, 1t is likely that he
will issue a statement defining his posi-
ton in the State contest One gathers
from him that he is confident of the result
in the fight with the Brumbaugh-Vare
combination for national delegates from
this State.
Congressman Focht said that although
he was candidate for reelection TO Con-
gress, and was opposed by man from
Governor Brumbaugh's own home county
of Huntingdon, he had publicly announced
in every county that he favored the Pen
rose leadership and said he was willing
to wager that he would carry every county
in the district.
Harmon NJ Kephart. of Connellsville
candidate for State Treasurer, is here to
attend a dinner in his honor given by so
engineers running on the various
lines into Pittsburgh, arranged by his for
mer co-workers of the Baltimore and Ohio.
He will remain here tomorrow for the

west OF section 144-3 is being drilled
deeper This well reached a sand At
1890 feet and when the last report
was received the total depth was
1881 and the drill was still in the
sand The sand is making both oil
and gas. Oil production is being
slightly increased with deeper drill
ing and the present gas production is
from seven to eight million feet. T.
b. Weaver is the drilling contractor.
This amount of sand in this location
makes the southeast extension look
mighty good: Westhelmer a Daube
have a direct offset to this well and
it gives Jake L. Hamon diagonal
offset.

Much Activity Prevails.

There is much activity right at
this time near the center of the
southeast quarter Of 24-4-3. The Fort
Ring people did the first drilling
there and brought in a well. The
Iokla Oil company is now spudding
an offset north of the Fort Ring
well Carter Oil company is rigging
up to drill a northwest offset to the
Fort Hing well. The Fort Ring
is rigging up TO drill one location
west OF the initial well and the Iokla
Oil company has made a location TO
the east Of the original well. There
is much activity now throughout the
entire southeast extension.

In the Lawton district a lime is
found at 1000 feet, and while it has
been drilled into a distance of 800
feet, no well has ever been drilled
through it. Much interest there is
being taken in the Franklin a John
son well as it will be started for a
depth of 5000 feet Rig builders be
gan the construction of rig for this
well last Saturday. The National Oil
and Development company in 2S-2-10
will start a well within quarter of a
mile of the deep test to be drilled by
the Ardmore parties. It is probable
that the National people will not
make haste with their well, as the
Franklin x Johnson well will test
the property of the National people

Made Good Investment.

Jake l.. Hamon has one of the
prettiest pieces of property in the
southeast extension 1t consists of
16O acres and is the entire northeast
quarter of section 234-3. Wostheim-
er & Daube have offset this lease at
the northwest corner and Gunsburg
C Forman have drilled a diagonal
offset also at the northwest corner.
Westheimer & Daube have offset the
lease also in the northeast corner
and the Producers have drilled a di-
agonal offset and the Humble compa-
ny has drilled a direct offset on the
northeast corner. Production has al
so been found south and southeast of
the lease and the prospects are that
every acre of the Hamon lease is in
the producing area. If Mr.. Hamon
did not have other holdings at Heald-
ton he would be a very fortunate oil
man, but this lease is but small
percentage of his Healdton oil hold
ings.

Building Small Pipe Line.

The Magnolia Petroleum company
is building a two-inch line from
Healdton to the McMan-Savoy well
at Fox. When the line is completed
a thorough test will be given the only
producing well in the new district
While it was filling two 50O-barrel
tanks It made about 60 barrels a
day. The well has 40 feet of sand
and it will take it a long time ever
TO pay itself out If it cannot be made
better producer. However, it is
very probable that deeper drilling
will touch other sands inasmuch as
the leases nearby have more than
one gas sand.

REMARKABLE REFINING PROCESS
Increase Production of Gasoline From
13 to 18 Per Cent.

13 to 18 Per Cent.
The Parker process of refining
crude oil makes a very interesting
story for the oil fraternity. The full
rights of this process are owned by
c. f. Colcord, Nancy Bros. and r.
vim II. Wheatcraft, all Of Oklahoma
City. The process has been test I'd
for period of three months by the
North American Refining company in
its plant at Kansas City. Ray Col
cord, son of c. F.. Colcord, has charge
Of the plant. The time which 1t has
been used demonstrates that 1t is a
success and is no longer an expert
ment. In the treatment of crude un-
der the Parker process the plan of
the ordinary refinery is followed in
taking off the benzine properties,
which are the first to evaporate
when heat is applied. After the run
of benzine has been made the pres
ent plant does not manufacture kero-
sene because the product is so cheap
but the second ingredient taken off
is what is called distillate. The
third ingredient is the residuum or
fuel oilA Under the Parker process
the distillate is treated and it makes
from As to as high as 20 per cent
gasoline. This gasoline is lost under
the old refining process.
One barrel of Gushing crude makes
about 20 per cent benzine, 26 per
cent distillate and As per cent resi-
dunn or fuel oil. Under the Parker
process the total per cent of gasoline
would be increased from 13 to is per
cent.
