COUNTIES GET THEIR
SHARE Of THE GROSS

Oklahoma City. June ll.-Thirty one
counties In Oklahoma have received
s2,2S7,4l9.G9 during 1916, 1917, and 1918
as their share of the three per cent
gross production tax on oil and gas
produced in the state. The tax Is di-

state, which goes 10 the general revenu"
fund and one third to the counties In
which the oil and gas Is produced TO b."
divided equally between the school and
roads maintenance funds.
In addition one county, Ottawa, has
received s43,937.lG during that period.
but air of this Is the gross production
tax on material principally lead and
zinc. The tax on mineral is one'half
of one per cent.
To June !, according Ia figures furn.
ished by Bruce Oft. chief clerk In the
auditors office who is in charge OF the
collection of the gross production tax,
the counties OF the state have been
paid total of $2.331 ,3jG.s5, divided as
to years as follows: 1916, S5l0.22S. .i3:
1917. s945. 1861; 10 Is. S75,333.O5. For
the first five months of 1919 the coun

CORRECT GAUGE ON
NEW ARDMORE WELL
FOR FIRST FOUR DAYS

Correct guage on the first four days
flow, ending Monday morning on the
new Texas companys well in section
81. As, 2w, was made public last night.
The first "a hours the flow into the
tax was 800 barrels, with two flows
going over the crown block and lost.
The second days flow was 3l2 barrels
with three flows lost. The third day
was 397. and the fourth day was 4l2
barrels
This guage record shows the well IS
gradually improving as the screw goes
deeper into the sand. \ report from
reliable source says that for one "a
hour period the flow was as high as
4SO barrels, and for another 27 hour
period it mounted up to $50 barrels
The sand has not been drilled through,
and there is no telling how deep 1t
runs However, it is thought it will
at least have the thickness of the
Healdton sand, which is $50 feet maxi
mum.
Local officials have stopped drilling
operations awaiting further instruc-
is not entirely under control and every
time the drill starts up it gets away
from them and spOuts over the derrick.
The drillers say that if the next few
screws into the sand result as favor
ably as the last few have it will prob
ably eventually make a thousand bar
rel well. This well was drilled two
feet deeper Monday.
There have been conflicting reports
as to the gravity Of the petroleum
from this well. This is explained by
the fact that at the top of the sand
u heavy oil of 29.5 gravity was found,
but after the screw got into the sand
the test showed a gravity of 35, with
gasoline content averaging % per
cent. The quality is considered to be
the same as that OF the Fox field oil. d,
