down and this by simply raising the
price of crude and keeping the tank

are that it does not. and IL it does,

Tulsans Strike Gold.

who have turned to gold as their
royal road" TO fortune.

Wild Gas Wells in Louisiana.

Engineering feats, comparable In
the ingenuity required if not in ex-
penditure of effort with the closing of
the Salton sea. have been called for
in recent years to close wild gas wells
In northwestern Louisiana. An inn
menso amount of natural gas has been
lost in wells that have gotten beyond
control in the Caddo and Red River
fields and the loss consists not only
in the precious fuel wasted but in the
lowering of pressure on the associated
oil which is rendered thereby more
difficult to recover. Indeed, ii is as
serted by some that the ultimate yield
Of oil from n pool is considerably less
If the gas is allowed TO escape than
If II Is closed in until as much oil as
possible is taken out

Two Dollar Oil.

Two Dollar Oil
For the first time in the history
Of the mid continent field oil is now
81 for all grades. the Prairie having
boosted the price with the opening
of the market yesterday, Saturday,
the 18th of August.
The date will mark red-letter day
in the history Of oldom and it can
safely be set down as IA great event.
TWO dollars per barrel with the pre-.
inium paid for highgrade oil at va
iious points, is nice price, and ought
to stimulate drilling greatly.
This Will in turn mean that many
new pools are uncovered. oklahoma
and Kansas are fruitful fields for
wildcatting, as wildcat wells are
counted these days, and the man who
believes that the top of production has
been reached has another guess com
ing. 1t all spells prosperity in the
future.
Kansas producers have evidently
opened "A new pool which will be pro-
ductive of much oil in the neighpUi :

promises good along the west line -.
the same county where the Jones
Brothers drilling as the Great South
ern Oil company have found what
looks like the Bartles~ille sand east OF
the Flint hills. This, with the Nvehs
row showing good in the southeast
ern part of Butler county, and the
big production in the Towanda dis
trict, makes it look mighty sweet for
operators in that state.
In Oklahoma there are vast dis
tricts hardly touched by the drill, amt
who would wish for better wildcat tcc-
ritory than range 10 from the Kansas
line as far south us township u at
