The following descriptive article,
which appeared in the Dallas News
Saturday, is from the special cor
respondent OF that paper and fairly
/ describes the Burkburnett situa-
tion:
The new oil field on the Burk-
burnett townsite and adjacent to il
is 4 wonderful field. The sand is
reached at about l,750 feet Wells
generally come IN flowing as much
as 100 barrels an hour. They have
settled down after the first flush
production, but none OF them are
old enough as yet to indicate how
rapidly they will settle down or
how far.
The first well came in few
weeks ago on the Fowler land Just
at the north edge OF the town. Five
or six Others have followed this well
in succession. Within a week or
two there should be fifteen or twen-
ty wells producing on the town
site or near it. Most OF these wells
are beng drilled with rotary rigs
and they so down very rapidly.
mere Is plenty OF water available
for drilling from shallow wells. The
first thing driller does in this field
Is to make a shallow water well. |
men ne spuds IN. Plenty of crude
OIL is available for fuel, but it is
rather expensive as the oil IS worth
80 and commands premium,
so ihat the estimate OF value OF oil
from TINS held IS $50 barrel.
one OF the wells that Is consid-
cred representative is that OF p.
Hammond SUI leet south OF the
discovery well. 1t was flowing into
me tank thursday at an estimated
rate OF IOO barrels an hour Mean
ime, the Fowler well was not flow
hg, something having brldged the
'asing or otherwise obstructed the :
low. Putting the well in condition ;
vas expected to be an easy tas.
Ample transportation exists here,
IS the old fields at Burkburnett and
,Icctra were supplied with pipeline
acilltles, and these we're readily
connected with the new production.
Advent OF the townslte field led,

THINKS IT BETTER TO
STICK TO PROGRAM
Engineer Num- Intimates
Work Will Be Begun at
North End

State Highway Engineer Mum does
not believe it will be advisable tt
change the plans for the Pacific high
way to the Clackamas county line, and
to start at the Salem end instead OF
at Aurora. While starting at the north
end will leave a gap of about. three
miles, it is believed that this can be
taken care of in a short time.
The original proposal called for the
paving of the entire stretch of road,
a total of 1928 miles. Funds were not
available for more than is miles, now
ever, and it was decided to start at
the north line, working south. A pro-
test has been filed asking that work
start at Salem.
it is thought possible that's the state
will be able to stretch their money to
cover 20 miles, although this is not a
Certainty. The estimated cost of the IS
miles is $4,000, this allowing 10 per
cent for emergencies. 1t is possible that
the total for the 10 miles will be re
dueed when the bids for the concrete
art made. The county has ~signified its
Intention of making an effort. to pave
d stretch of the road reaching a mile
IEOIh Saith.
The highway has been divided into
two sections according to the specifica-
tions prepared by the engineers office.
The first section, 10 miles in length,
goes to Gervais, and will cost around
100000, and the remainder will cost
around $40, 900 when completed. This
does not include the grading done by
the county, which in this case, will not
be excessive.
Three varieties of surface are pos
sible, according to the present plans,
asphaltic concrete with a gravel base,
asphaltic concrete with a broken stone
macadam base, and concrete. Asphault
will probably be used it is believed.
The .evacuating for the states part
of the road will only total some 2,400
cubic yards of gravel. In the matter OF
the figures are higher, however
Crushed rock totalling some 10000 lin
ear yards are required, and 32,40O cubic
Yards of broken rock is required. The
total surface to be paved is 100000
yards for the first section OF
the road, and $4,000 for the second.
Work on the road will probably start
in a short time. The county is prepar-
ing to start work on the grading, and
the state will be able to begin opera
tions when the contracts are awarded.
