Here From L0IrtOn

delegation of Iawton people are
in Tulsa and are strong for the pos
sibilities of the new field II miles
southeast of that town. where the gas
well recently completed by John G.
Keys in 23-ls-i0w is making Is, ,OOO.-
600 fet of gas and is now shut in
In good shape. The well was only
drilled Is inches in the sand and is
now showing u strong odor of petro-
leum, according to j. X. Travis, who
owns a refinery at Lawton and ought
to know.
The best part of It all is that the
Lawton people are putting a road
from Lawton to the well in good
shape and promise Il perfect road and
easy grade all the way
Mr.. Travis is running 500 barrels
of crude thru his stills each day and
will soon increase the capacity to
double that amount and everything Is
about ready to start with the addi-
tional still capacity.
The chances are good for an oil
field southeast OF Lawton and If so.
this refinery is bound to be a good
money maker.
With Mr.. Travis on this trip are

DR.. Kennedy to Build Hotel.

Doctor Kennedy. who made a nice
cleanup when he sold his Usage
Hominy lease and thereby added to
his fortune n little over $4,000, 000. is
going to do something that the town
will be proud of and will build a
handsome hotel between the Country
club and Owens park.
Not the largest, but the finest" is
the way the doctor puts it, and il goes
without saying that this hotel will be
a strong addition to the social life OF
the town.
1t should by all means he called the
the Kennedy" When it was first
suggested the hotel be built, w. n.
Robinson, who is in the city, gave 1t
his unqualified Endorsement. and
stated that he would be glad to take
the lease and run this new hotel IN
connection with the Hotel Tulsa.
And now Mr.. Robinson has just an
nounced that he will build an addi-
ton to the Hotel Tulsa, costing 5000
900, and it looks now as tho it would
be possible to bring the big gas mems $
convention TO Tulsa next year.
The town is growing so rapidly
and is sure to reach the 10000
mark in population and the new addi-
tions to the hotels will be gladly well
coined.

To Start Another Test

The Gushing Oil & Development co.
seem to think that they have a pool
among its leases in 32-19-S, as 1t has
a rig for the third test after drilling
two dry holes. All three wells are
in the same quarter section. 1t Is be-
lievod that the great amount of sand
found in the first two wells have
served as an incentive to the drilling
of another test. The first wells had
eight sands, all of which were Of sub
stantial thickness, but all were dry.
The first well is located in the north
west corner Of the southwest quarter
of the southeast of 32-19-S and was
abandoned at a total depth of 2,S55
feet. They moved northeast from this
well to drill No. and 1t is located in
the northeast corner of the southeast
quarter of the section. 1t has just
been abandoned and was drilled to a
total depth of 1880 feet to the bot
tom of the Tucker.
Number is located in the south
east corner of the southwest of tie
southeast of the section, and the com
pany already has a rig standing on
this location.

sumed than produced and that oil is
an absolute necessity for the continue
uon of the European war, or, If our
own country should enter this war, the
price of coal is creating an increased
demand for fuel oil which is only cur
tailed by the lack of railroad trans
portation.
The rumor that the Pure oil COM
pany had been optioned is likely to
be decided during the present week.
There is likely to be a curtaimcnt
Of drilling on account of the lack OF
material, which, of course, helps the
price. There is too much difference
in the price between eastern and west
ern crude and the latter ought to make
an advance at once"

waiter i. Corcoran of the James G..
Corcoran company, pipe line contrac-
tors IS president of the Ignite Prod

MS guest in Tulsa yesterday.
We have opened up the Arkansas
ne'ds, which are very rich in by
products" said Mr.. Robinson. For
the time being we are confining our
efforts to the major by-products. but
In time we will develop the various
products which can be taken from
the ignite oils and distillates.
\ Base for Paints
our principal product is a base
Tor Weatherproof paints. This is Il
rich carbon, which also contains oxide
of iron. magnesia, manganese lime
and silica in the proper proportions to
make the greatest known iron pre-
Isefvative The entire structural steel
y OF the Chicago elevated railway sys-
TEN was painted with paint made
our processes and formulas, seven
years ago and today stands as the
best painting job in America. We are
manufacturing the paint base for the
general paint manufacturing trade.
and also making the paint ourselves
for the Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee
and Louisiana trade.
Close to German Product.
'In addition we produce with the
same process distillate which con-
tains a big percentage of ammonia
and fannie acid. Then we have a rich
black oil, which analysis very close
To German icthyol. This is used as
base for tick eradicators, animal REM
edies and soaps. Also we are pro-
ducing fifteen million cubic feet of
gas per month, which we burn against
a slow roller for gas black, a very
valuable product.
Prom what | have seen of Okla
homa Ignite, I believe the same by
products can be produced from the
Ignite found in this state"

The Ada Wells

Up to this time it has not been
heard whether or not the well of the
American Oil & Refining Co. has been
drilled into the pay in 3-4-7, but il
presumably has not. 1t is located
in the southeast corner of the north
east of the northeast of the section
and is on the Norman farm. At last
reports it was on top OF the sand,
with a light showing of oil and gas.
The Mascho well, in the northeast
corner of the southeast of the north
east of 3-4-7, has been cleaned out
and is flowing about 20 barrels per
day. 1t will be shot with dynamite
again in hopes of increasing the flow.
The well of the Oil State company
in 34-5-7, which is just north of the
above wells, has been completed. hav-
ing been drilled thru the sand found
in the Mascho WELL and it is good
for about 100000 feet of gas.
