A Sure-Sure Thing

While am drilling out this big we'll on
the Okmugee lease in the field OF big
gushers. expect to get hold OF several
valuable leases in the shallow field belt
and drill several shallow wells. We can
drill six or eight wells in the shallow field
for about the same amount the big OkmuI-
gee we'll will cost. intend to drill these
shallow wells--onf on each lease of about
sixty or eighty acfes--where we have about
three chances out of five of getting from
%. to rs barrels of oil. 1t only takes about
week or ten days TO drill one of these
wells The flush production from "A. well
should pay for the drilling of same and
leave practically 100 per, cent profit from
the sale of oil in the first thirty or sixty
days. The drilling in of these wells would
make our company more permanent and
sure of success. And quick action can be
expected from them. The Shirt-Sleeve Oil
company is out to get the oil--its policy is
to drill in. and near, production to oper-
ate in both the deep and shallow fields. |,
actually believe that by following out this
policy. the company would be in position
to pay dividends to its stockholders even
before the big Okmulgee well has been
completed.
