The Chaffee Well.

The most interesting oil item in wild
cat districts comes from the George
W Chaffee well in section 2-23. This
well is southwest Of Wildcat Jim and
southeast of the Fox district. 1t has
been drilled to depth of something
like 900 feet and arrangements have
been perfected to drill it to 1900 feet.
Scott Sparks and j. L. Ponder who
live in that community, have assisted
G. w. Templemeyer in getting a suf-

at Healdton at this time. The COM
pany has 13O acres located in 1913
and 100 acres in 15-4-3. These two

are in the proven oil area, and B. A.
Simpson, president of the Gates COM
pany, will be in the field tomorrow
with an engineer, and locations will
be made for every well in these two
sections. Several strings of tools will
be put to work and they will be kept

1915, he took tie oath of allegiance

to throw his moral weight and per.

in the European war.

Estimating Royalty Value.

How to estimate the value of an
oil lease seems to have never been
determined. The average production
of the Glenn pool has been 5000
barrels to the acre, while one seven
acre tract produced as much as one
million barrels. However the small
tract had the advantage of the sur
rounding property. 1t was drilled and
put to producing by company that
was able to care for production, while
surrounding lease owners did not
have the same equipment. In Cali
fornia some of the acreage produced
as much as 125,000 barrels to the acre.
These figures were drawn from differ
ent parties today by bunch of men
who were discussing the offer which
had been made E. T. Richards for his
royalty in section 6-i-3 and in 31-3-3,
Mr.. Richards has made the state
men that he did not sell for $4,000,
as was reported in The Ardmoreite.
The item reached us through reliable
channels, but it is very probable that
the deal has not been closed. Mr..
Richards states to the Dallas News
