Oil Leases
FARMERS NORTH OF
TOWN GET OFFERS
Are Holding Locations, However, for
Chickasha Oil and Gas Company

is shown by two important develop
ments today in the oil situation. Tulsa
men are here trying to drive contracts
Tor leases with farmers north Of town,
and three more wells are to be drilled
at Cement.
The first III OF information was
brought in to R. n Thweatt, president
of the Chickasha Gas and OIL company,
by farmer who had been personally
solicited by the agent OF substantial
Tulsa oil concern. The agent wanted
leases on his and adjoining property
near Chickasha and presented creden-
tials showing that his company was
III d position and meant to drill the
wells when proper leases were forth
coming.
The farmer declined to negotiate
with the visitors declaring that he was
reserying his land for 4 possible site
for the Chickasha company.
1t is evident that oil people realize
Al Chickasha is in earnest al want
to get into the field ahead Of 1 focal
company.
That three new wells are to be sunk
at Cement was information brought to
this city by authorities which should
be reliably irgormed.
President Thweatt states that nego-
tiations are already being entered into
with a competent geoIogist who should
be ready for operations here within
short time While the entire $4,000,
the working half Of the capital OF the
company is not wholly subscribed, op-
erations will be begun on what is al
ready III hand, the preliminarles requr-
ing the expenditure of a comparatively
small amount Of money.
