Members of the Sinclair party who
came to Ardmore on special tram
bearing III men interested in the Sin
clair companies and bankers and imam
ciers of the eastern cities spent yes
terday in the Healdton field. The Sin
clair company has large production at
Healdton and has surveyed ana pur'
chased the right of way for an eight
inch oil pipe line from Ardmore to Hous'
ton, Texas. The Sinclair Gulf Oil Cor
poraton, which is building the pipe
line, has practically all the material
on the ground at Houston for the con-
struction of a refinery which will have
a capacity of $4,000 barrels. Some Of
the pipe for the steel has been un-
loaded at Houston and the company ex-
poets to get the steel for the line. but 1t
does not expect immediate deliveries on
account of the unusual conditions that
prevail at this time.
The company's eight-inch line from
northern Oklahoma to Chicago has but
155 miles of pipe yet to be strung. This
part OF the right of way lies between
the Mississippi river and Chicago. The
government has given the company as
surance that it shall have the pipe to
complete the line. The company's re-
finery in Kansas City with capacity
of 10000 barrels, Is in operation at this
time, and one unit of the plant of 10000
barrels capacity in Chicago is ready for
operation as soon as oil Is received. The
other units will be ready by the time
the pipe line is completed. The com
pany also has refineries in operation at
.f 4 Ints
rels. at Coffeyville, 5000 barrels, and
at Cushing $500 barrels, The pipe
line to Chicago will, in all probability,
be completed by the first of January.
w. S. Mowris, of New York, speaking
for the company said: The Sinclair
interests feel that there are more oil
pools to be found in Oklahoma and we
are doing our part toward finding them.
We are spending more money in Okla
homa than in all the other states com
bined. We expect for the next ten
years that there will be many new pools
found in this state.
Our people feel that there are deeper
sands at Healdton and whether those
sands are at depths Of 5000 or 1000
feet the drills of the Sinclair company
will find them
