OIL and GAS NEWS


The Homer district, on the north
line of Carter county, in township
south and west, has new compile
tion. Thomas Z. Rowland. of Heald-
ton, and W. S. Huddle of Waurika,
have completed well in section l6
at total depth of 240 feet. The pro-
duction is probably about two barrels,
but owing to the high grade of the oil
as lubricant, it is believed that the
well will pay, and 1t is probable that
the Homer district will give up vast
wealth when the field is developed.
In the same township, in section 30,
a Geep test is to be drilled during the
summer months.
The two Wildcat jim wells in sec
tion 1922 are to be placed on the
pump as soon as the necessary work
can be done, and the third well is to
be drilled. r. +. Armstrong j. NJ. Van
Winkle and Judge George w Clark,
Of Oklahoma City, reached this decis-
ion at meeting here yesterday with
the local stockholders.
c. A. Dorm, L. G. Donnelly and A.
b. Rowley are here in the interest OF
the Sinclair Gulf Oil company These
people have recently made purchases
in the Fox district. They are building
a pipe line out of the field, and it is
probable that they have other deals
pending for production at Healdton.
d. L. Larsh of Norman, has been
here in the interest of the Jennings
Petroleum company, which has nice
lease in section 15.4-3.
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Athey. of the
Oklahoma.FoX well in the Graham dis.
trict are in the city today. Mr.. Athey
states that his well will be ready to
put on the pump within two weeks. II
has 149 feet of sand and the drill Is
still in the pay The outside pipe will
be pulled and used in drilling No. 2
The Oklahoma-Fox well had sand al
1925 feet that was eighteen inche.
thick and made eight barrels of oil
In all probability this sand thickens
in some direction from the well, and Il
that is the case this territory will bC
developed into a producing field The

ditional purchases in this locality re

Southern Oklahoma will have an
other big oil area" said an oldtime
oil man today. Several years elapsed
between the discoveries at Oil City
and Healdton. From Acaldton to Fox
made the weak-hearted grow faint, and
from Fox to the next big pool may re-
quire several months, but in time it
will arrive. II is my opinion that a
greater field will be found here than
has been uncovered up to now and
that IS saying much, for Healdton il
one OF the wonder fields of the world"
There are just IS many chances to
gain fortune out of oil here as ever
existed and those who keep playing at
the game will win.

Upon making inquiry he learned they
had been to the Prairie Oil & Gas
companys well in S-2.3, a distance Of
forty miles. Such a trip breaks al
