Two Big Gassers Threaten Turn

Prosperity Rumor Proves
To Be False.

The business of taking stock OF
their properties has claimed the at.
tention Of the Gladstone, 1863 and
the Fortune, Csc, ever since the
strikes were made in the southwest
Chickasha field several days ago,
which process seems to be yet unfin-
ished, according to the best mforma-
tion obtainable from the field.
AZ the outset, the Gladstone was
estimated at 15 barrels. ndiations
at this time however, point to the
probability Of the well producing less
than that amount in it's present state.
1t was swabbed yesterday and -
barrels Of oil taken out.

During a period Of little more
than is hours, the hole filled up 1850

make around so barrels of oil daily.

depth Of 2206 feet.
