| OKMULGEE, Okla, Dec. Is
Bringing In Of a 2,000-barre
we'll in Section 25, Range ID
Township II, by the Okmulgee
Producing and Refining Com
pany last Friday, opens up q
distinctly new pool Of gusher
oil about fourteen miles west
Of Okmulgee and doubtless will
have the effect of transforming
into a rich oil producing area
what heretofore has been
strictly gas territory. With the
string of tools hanging $50 feet
in the hole, the well Is flowing
an average of 1900 barrels ev-
cry twenty-four hours. The
Okmulgee company Is making
three more locations adjoining
this we'll and Ia moving rigs in
to drill at once. When the tools
are withdrawn the well should
easily make 1000 barrels.
Early last June this well was
drilled into the 1,900-foot sand
and made so little oil that II did
not pay as a pumper. While
the territory surrounding the
we'll was considered as good
only for gas, a few gas wells
near this location had sprayed
as high az 25 TO 30 barrels
daily.
Opens Immense New Pool.
The Okmulgee company re-
Gently brought in a thirty mil
lion foot gas well about three
quarters of a mile from the new
gusher on the extreme east end
of their block of 500 acres Of
leases. The gusher location is
on the extreme west end Of the
tract and virtually proves
that the entire block is under
laid with an immense new pool.
The gasser itself is spraying
about fifteen barrels Of oil,
which is saved by a dripping
plant. The company is drilling
two more wells adjoining the
gasser and, barring accident,
they should strike the sand
within the next ten days. Gas
from this well is piped TO okla
homa City and intermediate
towns. ..--~.,

Development Being Pushed.
The okmdlgee Producing and Re.

latter part OF 1910 by taking over seven
independent oil companies .sard their
holdings These holdings when con.
solidated termed the complete cycle of
departments in the oil business neces-
sary to assured success, namely. the
producing, Transporting and refining
branches. The company now owns in
lee simple or holds leases on 1000
acres Of oil, gas and coal lands,
operates 2,OOO-barrel refinery, string
Of railway tank cars, pipe line system,

The company owns two operating

200 RESERVISTS
OUT FOR DRILL

Two hundred strong, Pendleton re
servists comprising four companies
turned out for drill at the Roundup
grounds yesterday and for two hours
or more brushed up on tactics in the
school OF the squad. platoon and COM
pany. During that time they also
faced fire from a motion picture ma
chine and stood the test without
flinching. The machine used was one
owned by KEN & Wright
At the outset the entire force was
aligned in one company under George
Hartman. but proved too large for one
command so was divided into the
previously formed four companies. the
single men under Dan p. Smythe as
captain; young married men under
Captain c. C. Vinier. Silver Grays un-
der Captain Cranston and the Spanish
War veterans under Captain Hartman.
The Roundup grounds made an
ideal drill ground and It is the inten-
ton OF the various companies to drill
there in the future whenever practi-
