BLACK CANYON OIL EQUIPMENT
SHIPPED TO TEXAS FIELD

The entire oil well equipment, be-
longing to The Black Canyon Oil &
Gas company was shipped this week
to a valuable oil field in Texas Mr.
E. z. Allen arrived from Wichita Falls
Texas. and superintended the packing
and loading of the outfit.
The oil leases are located at Bridge
port, Texas, on the Ranger structure.
The lease includes some 10000 acres,
and of this the Delta stockholders
hold some 1000 acres which have
been selected in parcels. and in the
same pro rata as the Texas people.
This looks like a very good way to
get the Delta county peoples rig in
active operation, as all the expense
our people are to in the matter is the
loading and freighting the outfit to
the new field.
