become total wreck. She was pur-
chased as a wreck for the modest sum
Of $40 pounds. 1t was found possible
to float the craft, and after repairs
had been executed the ship changed
hands last February for no less a sum
than $4,000 pounds
Perhaps the record of sales is seen
in the case of the steamship Winni-
field, a boat of 3,433 gross tonnage,
built in 1901. This ship was first sold
in 1907 for 22,300 pounds, resold in
May, 1915, for $4,000 pounds, in June,
1915. for 41,0OO pounds, and in De-
cember, 1915, for $500 pounds, each
sale representing a substantial profit
upon her cost.

HOW A MAGIC KNOCK At A LOG CABIN
At MIDNIGHT PUT CUSHING, OKLA,
ON THE MAP AND MADE M|LLIONAlRfS

Of the oil man, and he gave Slick the
IS. 900 with which to drill the well,
getting in return for it a large in
terest in oil leases on 1000 acres OF
land around the Wheeler farm near
! Cushing.
The we'll was finished March 10. and
oil spurted from it like water from a
Yellowstone geyser-the great "Cush-
ing" pool had been found. The next
step was to stop up the well to hide
the discovery until more leases could
be secured. The Literary Digest con-
! tinues:
Now there are Is wells on Wheel
er's farm and they are producing $500
barrels of oil day, which sells for
los a barrel He has the income Of
a millionaire.
Wheeler does not know how much
he is worth. His farm is assessed on
the codnty tax books at $32 900. He
could sell it for a million dollars. He
las received S250,000 in royalties al
ready, nd the wells on his place will
go on producing for 30 or 100 years,
OF even more.
THE same strike made Slick mil
lionaire. It added a million to the al
ready large fortune of Shaffer. II
brought fortunes to scores of men.
&c. ]. Rightsman, an attorney of
Tulsa, had an interest with Jones ana
Slick in a block Of leases. He sold his
interest for a million. Jones in a mil
lionaire.
Aaron Drumbright, a poor rent
ing farmer, went TO the land drawing
in South Dakota, and got a claim
which he sold for $1,000. Hereturned
and bought 100 acres adjoining
Wheeler's farm on the south just six
months before oil was found there.
He paid 1900 for his farm. There
are 10 oil wells on his farm. He solo
out for $4,000 cash and paid $4,000
for a farm six miles northwest OF
Parsons, Kan.
1 The Cushing pool produced OBS
900 barrels Of oil in 1913. which sold
for nearly ten million dollars. And
now the oil men believe that the real
mother pool has not yet been dis
covered. In fact, ex-Sate Geologisi
Charles n. Gould says the probable
mother pool of oil in Oklahoma is il.
the coal region, which lies near Nc
Alester, in southeastern Oklahoma
and that had development begun in
that section the present pools woula
doubtless have been yet undiscov-
