The opinion prevails that Cotton
county will have an oil field. In town
shin / south and 10 west some wells
drilled by John c. Reyes and his asso-
ciates have been making a large guam
tjty of gas. but the field is developing
rather slowly as an oil producing area.
and prohting from the experience OF
FOX. in Carter county. prices there have
been held somewhat low. In other
words buyers have not been eager to
get in unless some signs of oil could be
brought to the surface. The reports
concerning oil sands are still somevhat
indefinite but is believed here that
Keyes No 3. in the southeast corner
OF section 2l-1-10, has a hole almost fun
of oil at total depth Of something like
2400 feet and il is also reported that
Douglas & Skelton have well In sec
ton 29. at about the same depth. that
is making an oil showing. Information
that is more definite will be required
before any considerable buying Will be
done. Local people who have invest
ments there are of the opinion that the
I.awton gas area will result in the de-
yelopment of an oil field.
The Healdton area now has another
pipe line completed and making runs
of oil. The Pierce Pipe Line company,
which is the Oklahoma pipe line de-
partment of the Pierce Fordyce Oil asso-
citation. has its eight-inch line from the
Healdton field to Fort Worth in opera
ton The Muenster pump station Is
not ready but the Healdton pump sta
ton is in operation and the. line is now
taking about 5000 barrels. The runs
will be increased as soon as the Muen-
ster pump station is put in service. The
following officials of the company have
been here during the week looking ar
ter the company's business NJ. j. Gro

Dallas: T. c. McMurray. of Fort Worth,
and c. w. Cahoon, of So. Louis.
Just enough oil has been found in
Pontotoc county to give encouragement
TO operators, and drilling operations
are kept going. But the results have
not, as yet, been entirely satisfactory
The Allen pool has forty wells or more
that average about ten barrels each a
day. These wells cover an area tnat
gives promise of doing bigger things
and for that reason drilling Is being
continued. One or two wells have re
Gently missed the Allen sands. and
whether they will be sent deeper is not
known. II is stated that the Stabb well
in 22.5n-Se has new sand at a depth
of l4OO feet and some little excitement
has been occasioned by this report but
il is stated that the owners have not
made a frank report concerning their
hax prlrRhaS sing nearby
acreage. The situation with reference
TO the Mascho well, in section 4n7e,
Is not encouraging. This well at 1852
feet is making some oil. A short dis
lance TO the south the same company
drilled a well that came in as gasser,
making from five to eight million feet
of gas and this gas sand is now making
some oil. The same company Is now
drilling at about the level OF the sands
10 the southwest of well No l and II is
stated that so far no pay sand mas been
found. An east offset was failure
but had a showing at the sand level,
and a north offset was a failure With
out even a showing OF oil or gas.
Sheriff Buck Garrett. of Carter coun-
~, is giving the field his personal at
tention and II there should be an at
tempt TO carry out any plans OF vio-
lence. the evil doers will be promptly
dealt with. W. NJ. Dawson, who lived
at Woodworth. in the southeast extern
sion, has been placed under arrest ana Is
being held for investigation. He had
/. W. W. credentials signed by W. ID.
HAYWOOD. national secretary and treas
urer Of the organization. Some OF the
operators feel somewhat nervous about
the situation and this statement Is
confirmed in the fact that some or the
companies that own storage oil have
paid a high rate to have their oil in
sured against loss by violence. How
ever. many conservative men in the field
do not seem 10 be excited and feel that
many of the reports are exaggerated.
and that danger is not 50 imminent as
some others seem TO believe.
