OIL AND GAS NEWS OF
THE ARDMORE FIELDS

Greybull. and Torchllght fields. From
1914 to 1916 the production OF oil In
Wyoming rose from 3.56o.375 to s.234.
1871 barrels. and considerable part OF
this increase has been derived from the
fields just named.
The report describes nifty anticlines
and domes. twenty-seven OF which have
been tested by drilling. Four OF these
contain very productive oil and gas
fields. and seven contain fields that are
less productive and less promising. The
anticlines lie in a broad belt around
the border OF the Big Horn Basin. and
the authors OF the report conclude that
those which are nearest the central
Trough OF the basin offer the greatest
prospect for successful drilling. In fact.
none Of the explored anticlines that
are separated from the central trough
by other anticlines has yet yielded
more than traces of oil and gas. As
nine anticlines ADJACENT TO the central
trough remain untested there is good
prospect that other productive fields
may yet be discovered.

ID. r. Hewett and {. T. Lupton. may be

A prominent newspaper in Kentucky
that i desiring to boost It's town as the
home OF the oil men wants to know
why Tulsa is The center of the mid
continent field and how she has re
tained that enviable position.
Some story this. The reason Tulsa
became the center OF the oil industry
in Oklahoma was. first. because OF her
geographical position. being naturally
the center and located on what the
old-timers used to call five railroads,
and next because the people gave the
oil men a glad hand and gave II TO
them in no unmistakable manner. II
has reached a point that the oil men
take pride in building up the town and
have contributed far more than the
resident population 10 all the good
things that civic pride demands and
patriotism requires.

hands with YOU every time you turn
around" was the reputation it had in
the early days and was due TO the
same men who go to make Tulsa
GOOD town to live in even now, although
few Of the more hospitable ones are
taken up with business affairs and do
not devote the great amount OF energy
they formerly did in boosting for Tulsa.
There was the famous booster trip
that did so much to advertise Tulsa
The name was carried on banners
through all the principal business cen
ters in the east and people spelled II
out. not knowing its significance. and
wondering what the unfamiliar name
might mean. These same boosters
were in turn entertained by oil men TO
the limit in each such towns as Pitts
burgh. Toledo and other oil centers'
and after meeting Tulsa men there was
always that desire to renew acquaint-
ances thus made. 10
N would seem. however. that Tulsa
became the center first by eliminating
the hot air that always afflicts the
western town when oil is discovered
or when an oil man becomes active or
evinces a desire to locate. II was short
ly after oil was really discovered that
this became the center for correct IN
