PRODUCTION INCREASING.
Mid Continent

PetrOlia (Canadlan) --------------- A'1o
PRODUCTION INCREASING.
The estimate of mid-continent
production, as printed in the last
issue OF the Oil and Gas Journal,
shows that the mid-continent field
and the gulf coast fields are pro-
ducing 100000 barrels Of oil daily.
This is an increase OF 10000 barrels
daily over the estimate OF the week
previous. Practically all of this in
crease is due to Kansas, where the
recent completion of tremendous
gusher wells in Towanda township
is so congesting the local pipe line
facilities that the new wells are
partially shut in while other wells
on the sand are not being drilled
in until facilities can be prepared
for taking care OF the oil. The
Gypsy Oil Company on It's Shum
way has just drilled in another Is
OOO-barrel well and has other wells
on the sand ready to drill IN. The
Empire Company has also drilled IN
4 big well. The Gypsy's Shumway
lease still maintains its lead OF be-
ing the most wonderful lease in the
world. 1t has produced between
five and ten million dollars worth
of oil since last August, and is pro-
ducing oil at the rate OF about fifty
thousand dollars a day, or a million
and 4 half monthly
Another feature of the production
estimate of the Oil and Gas Journal
is that it gives Gushing and Sham
rock $1,000 daily production, while
it gives Healdton's production as
$4,000 barrels daily. This is the
first time that Healdton production
has been below the production OF
Gushing and Shamrock since last
fall. In this connection it must be
remembered there is much new
work going on in the Gushing dis
trict, whereas but little new work
