OIL MARKET QUOTATIONS..
The Best Yet

To the lawyers representing oil men
in Oklahoma q brochure (not brief)
Just issued by Rice & Lyons, giving the
status of the oil producer in this state
as to his right and the rights of the
lessor with regard TO diligence in drill
ing, will be read with the greatest in
terest.
The situation as 1t is in Oklahoma
has never been summarized in PAM
phlet form, nor has the history OF i'm
portant lawsuits ever been written, but
the time is coming when some brilliant
writer will embrace the whole subject
in book of most absorbing interest.
The brochure referred to is dedi-
Gated "Tho those courageous spirits
who by the hazard of their toll and
treasure have explored the hidden re-
cesses of the earth and poured its
great petroleum deposits into the
channels of trade, thereby increasing
the sum of human joy and advancing
the progress of civilization ITSELF" an
introduction which in itself Is most
apropos and well calculated to arouse
the enthusiasm of the average Oil pro-
ducer.
But the subject matter Is the real
thing. 1t points to court decisions in
all the states where Oil is produced and
to decisions, from the supreme court
Of the United States, and then shows
that the supreme court OF Oklahoma
has laid down a rule that the lessor,
or owner Of the land. or the honest
farmer, has the right to say where
wells shall be drilled and to what ex-
tent development shall be done.
Lawyers of course can get this bro
chure and will read 1t with great
pleasure, as 1t goes into the matter
thoroly, but to the common every day
oil man it will appeal most because it
is written in a way that "he who runs
may read" and will result perhaps in
the insertion in leases taken on Okla
homa land of a stipulation to the ef-
feet that the lessees shall have the

Drilling ut Brownwood.

BROWNWOOD. Texas. Nov. IL
The Brownwood field, which has been
described by oklahoma newspapers
as n baby" field, is one of the
huskiest infants on record, and is be-
ing carefully nursed by Joe Bartles
and other well-known Oklahomans
who are now on the ground and at
tending strictly TO business. The
field was brought in several weeks
ago by ii. G. Baker, acting as trustee
for NJ. ID. Bishop and work is now
progressing day and night to further
the development.
The Gotebo Oil, Gas & Refining
Co. of Gotebo, Okla, has completed
arrangements for the construction
of refinery located within a few
hundred yards of the shallow field
and alongside the tracks of the Frisco
railroad. Brownwood brick will be
used in the construction, which will
start before the Snd of this week.
w. NJ. Robertson of Cushing is also
completing plans for the construction
of refinery, also to be near the shall
low field.
Briefly summed up. the local field
Is only shallow one Pay oil is
found at an average depth of 200
feet, the oil sands varying from 10
to 80 feet in depth. Not one well in
twenty is cased, the soil formations
being such that castings are unneces-
sary. Barker has completed 13 such
wells, and local parties, assisted by
Oklahoma capitalists, have completed
almost thirty others. Thirty drills
are pounding away day and night In
an effort to increase the production
or the field. The shallow field COW
ers an area OF about three square
miles, so far as 1t has been proven.
Every foot of land in Brown
county is under lease for deep drill
ing, and three deep wells are now
under way. The Empire Oil & Gas
Co. is drilling miles northwest of
thls city. On the property on which
this company is operating are two
deep gas wells which supply the town
or Bangs, with 1900 population. The
Empire company spudded in "a
men hole and has casing on the
ground for a well 5000 feet deep.
The Gulf Production company is
drilling deep well IS miles north
or Brownwood in the Grozvenor
neighborhood. Another dee test
well is being drilled by Barker &
Hawley and Collins and Hillsman
Iour miles south OF Brownwood /.
Each OF these wells is about 500 feet
deep ''
The Producers Oil company is rem
resented here by ID. r. Bailey. and he
and Joe Bartles, =. f. Magee. w M.
robertson, CALVIN Rosser and a dozen
other Oklahomans are on the ground
preparing for deep tests.
