The Relation of the
Anti-cline to the
Production of Oil
(R A. Conkling).


II is a we'll known fact to every
producer that when We have a sand
porous enough for the movement of
oil and water through It we find the
oil at a certain level above the salt
water in this sand. II We have gas
present in the same sand, then we
have gas at the highest level because
IL is still lighter than OIL A large
amout Of gas, however is dissovled
in the oil itself and helps to give
the pressure 10 flow the oil. The
area OF an anticline which will be
productive. then, depends upon the
amount Of oil in the surrounding
area which could be gathered into
the anticliue. If the surrounding
area is large. as at Cushing the an
u-cline should be full and produc-
tion should reach down upon the east
edge almost 20 the bottom Of the syn
cline. or the eastern edge OF the east

most edge an along the syncline, but
20 the highest point Of the syncline.

The quantity OF petroleum marketed
in the United States during the first
half of 1916 is estimated by John d..
Northrop OF the United States Geo
logical Survey at 14O,OOO,OO0 barrels.
His estimate Is moderate.
This quantity, which includes a
little oil actually produced in 1916,
but marketed during 1916, is appreci-
ably less than the output during the
first half OF 1915, though II is greater
by about 100000 barrels than one
half the entire quantity marketed last
year. When II i5 considered that the
first half of 1915 incmdes the period
of maximum production OF the Cush-
ing pool in Oklahoma and the erich
.on pool in northwestern Louisiana,
the disparity in output between the
corresponding periods is not especially
significant. The magnitude OF this
quantity, the fact that II is greater
than one-half the total petroleum
marketed in the United States in 1915,
and the further fact that it reflects
the results OF general activity through
out all oil producing areas rather than
flush production in restricted areas
is. however. significant and leads to
no other conclusion than that the
final statistics OF oil marketed in 1916

grades is apparent. Thus far this
tendency has affected high grade
crude oil only to the extent Of lower
ing the premium on certain types that
are in greatest demand, but its in
fluence on market quotations is inev-
liable If production continues its
steady increase or If the remarkable
wildcat campaign now under way in
the southwest results in the discovery
of even one considerable pool OF high
grade Oil.

Death Follows in
the Wake of Oil
Many Lives Lost

With the development of oil in Ok
lahoma the list of sudden deaths was
heightened. Near Oilton several per
sons have been killed by exploding
gas, ignited by automobile lamps
Gas escaping from oil flow tanks
hovers along the ground, and auto
mobiles with broken lights at night
have been sufficient to ignite the gas
while passing through the gas clouds.
Stee-faced hammers, striking sparks
from nail heads have caused gas to
explode, resulting in the death of
several men in the Cushing field.
Ardmore Wrecked.
Here in Ardmore a spark from a
steelfaced hammer struck a spark
from tank car filled with casing
head gas, wrecked the business sec
tion of Ardmore and caused the death
of more than forty persons. In the
Kiefer field a few years ago, eight
persons were killed when a tank of
gasoline exploded. The gasoline had
been hauled past blacksmith shop
where workmen were burning tires
onto wagon wheel. Gas from the
tank was carried by the wind to the
fire and the explosion that followed
caused the gasoline tank to explode.
A few years ago, family living in
gas-piped house. left the house
tightly closed several days. Upon
the return of members of the family,
at night, a match was lighted and
the house was wrecked by gas that
had escaped into the building. No
one was killed.
In the BOynton oil field, a thresh-
ing machine engine crossed tand
broke gas pipe line on the surface
of the ground, the fire beneath the
boiler caused the gas to explode,
wrecking the engine.
Several months ago gas escaped in
to hotel in an oil field town, eX
ploded when a guest lighted match,
wrecked the building and injured sew
eral persons.
Nitro -GIycerine ExpIodes.
Explosions OF nitro-glycerine used
in shooting oil wells in Oklahoma
have caused several deaths Two
wagons filled with nitro-glycerine
have been blown to atoms, the drivers
and teams killed when the explosive
was "let loose" by the jarring of the
wagons. Nitroglycerine, It was be.
lieved, escaped from the containers
and tricked into the wagon springs,
where II was exploded by severe jars.
So great is the danger attending
the hauling Of nitro-glycerine that
nearly all incorporated oil field towns
have provided strict rules governing
the hauling Of the explosive through
the corporate limits.
Nitro-glycerine wagons are Stunned
by travellers through the oil fields.
Whiskey haulers into prohibition Ok
lahoma have been known to take ad-
vantage of the general fear Of nitro
glycerine wagons. on the part Of the
public. For several weeks whisky
haulers. by painting on their wagons
the word "nitro.glycerine' we're en-
abled to deceive officers into letting
them pass without an inspection.

ranging from 80 to $50 per cent
higher than those a year ago for high

It does the increased demand for
crude oil resulting from the activity
OF a large number of new refineries

4 As consequence of the incentive
afforded by the high prices in the
early part of 1916, activity in drilling
increased enormously m all fields with
the opening of spring, and though
within the half year period no strict

was a development OF old pools and

SO marked was this success in the

southern Kansas. the Blackwell pool
in Kay county. Okla, and the Sham
rock extension of the Cushing pool

of the half-year period the production
and consumption of crude oil east Of

STRIKE SCARE DROVE
MANY PEOPLE HOME
FROM SUMMER RESORTS

That the mountain resorts of North
Carolina are practically depopulated
as a result of the first news of the
impending railroad strike was the
statement of many Pensacolians re-
turning from summer resorts yester-
day.
1t was stated that when the first
notice of the strike was given the ex-
odus commenced, and few persons ar
rived, the number gradually dwindled
until there was practically no one at
the great tourist hotels.
Transportation facilities were taxed
to the utmost, $500 people leaving
Asheville Friday and much difficulty
was met by the railroads in handling
the great crowds. It was impossible
to carry the baggage also, and trains
composed of solid Pullman cars left
the resorts.
The consequent loss of patronage
at the big hotels and interruption of
the season is expected to amount to a
considerable loss to. the hotels.

DIVIDE CITY
IN DISTRICTS
FOR SCHOOLS
This Matter Was Brought
Up At Meeting of School
Board Last Night.
FINAL ACTION
NOT TAKEN
Complaints Made On Ac-
count Distances Between
Schools and Residences.

The question of the division Of the
city into districts for school attend
ance was brought up at the special
meeting of the board of public in
struction last night, but no final ac-
ton was taken in the matter, as the
board wislss to further investigate
the workings of the plans which have
been submitted.
Since the inauguration Of the sys-
tenn last year many complaints have
been received by the board, many on
account of the distances between the
school and the residences of the stu
dents. 1t is for this reason that the
board wishes to make a thorough
study Of the needs of all sections of
the city before regulations are made.
Prof. Ross Rogers, the principal of
the High school for this year, APP
peared before the board to suggest
certain changes which he deemed adj
visable and several minor changes
were made in the curriculum. In dis
cussing the general complaint against
the product of the present day high
schools, Prof Rogers stated that the
need is to take more time in the study
of the text books, and not to follow so
closely the book but that the main
object of teaching the student is
overlooked. TOO many teachers"
said Prof. Rogers, become so en-
crossed in the subject themselves that
the interests of the students are
overlooked, and the teacher expects
that students to make the same prog
ress in the text that she herself is
making"
