writer was scoffed at when he pre-
dicted that there would be west
extorslon becaua Il would follow
the creek. Du! ~ extended eight
miles toward Dewey and followed
the creek ns far as there was any
creek toqfoilow.
The Same thing n true In tho Rird
Creek district nud right now there
tho several little creeks that would
likely develop OH ns an extension to
The Fiat Rock pool were they
drilled. Tho same In true northeast

the Day pool has been treek -ology
propoaitlon since the beginning
Recently biologists have been u
fertng to write articles showing the
Roientiflc reason for the trend fol-
lowing the creek and some assert
that the oil follows the natural
DRAINAGE, which may or may not bo
right, but one thing is certain TINT
wherever oil has been found In the
mid continent field In any quantities
there is u creek that has led tho wny
In drillipg. III for no ather rea aon, be-
cause Il has supplied water for drill
ing purpuses.
The first well at CARRIER was on
creek. The fret report on tho Cush-
ing field which the writer ever saw
was that Il would be likely looking
territory because Il followed Tiger
creek. This was before any drilling
was thought OF ana acreage could
have been had az ten cents an acre.
All this leads To but one conclu-
sion. Tho best md most likely look
Ing territory that has not been
drilled "a southeast OF the Gushing
field and certainly ought TO be
tested out IN these days when oil ia
needed TO win the war. 1t IL the
best bet In Oklahoma and strange TO
say has received but mighty little
attention from prospectors.
The valley OF the Salt creek MS II
winds It's way ala the way from
Cushing to Okmulgee, Is certain to
develop many now pools just as 1t
has the Youngstown pool which IL
doubtless the most sensational and
widely known OF any little pool
drilIed In years or since the days OF
Cushing II Is q good place for the
man who knows an oil field when he
sees II and q trip from Gushing TO
the Tiger flats ought to he of great
interest, although the road IL rough
