BIG WELL NEAR LOCAL
COMPANY'S HOLDINGS

The promoters of the Burk-East-
land Oil & Lease Co., (the new COM
pany) are feeling jubilant this week
over the coming in Of the Texas
Chief" the biggest well in the Burk
field. Tie local company has a lease
within half mile Of this we'll directly
between it and some Of the other big
producers. The following from We'd
nesday's Fort Worth Star Telegram
tells something of the new big well {;
Evidently all previous develop
ment II the Burkburnett country was
outdone Tuesday with the bringing in
of the well of the Texas Chief Oil
Company, about mile and half
north of the Burk- -Waggoner well and
less than half mile south of the Red
River. What the well is making is a
hazardous guess as no tankage had
been provided and the oil is being run
out on the ground and into whatever
form of hurriedly prepared storage
available.
about all that is known is that the
well began shooting Tuesday and shot
thirty feet over the derrick until it
was brought under control After be-
ing pulled down, the flow was turned
into a six inch pipe and is now flowing
solid six-inch stream with a tre-
mendous gas pressure. Only estimates
Of the production are available, but
very authentic and conservative
sources report that it is by far the
largest well ever brought in in the
Burkburnett district.
The estimates vary from 5000 up
as high as 1000. The production will
be governed very largely by the gas
pressure, and authentic sources say
the well has the strongest gas pres
sure that has been found in any part
Of the field.
"There has been rumors for several
days that the Texas Chief was well,
but II was impossible to get to the
well or to get the report confirmed
The roads were impossible ard those
who could get through the fields we're
forced to swim a draw to get to the
well. All doubts were removed Tues
day when the oil shot over the der
rick.
This well is in the southeastern
part Of block 81 Of the Red River
Valley Lands"
