the inclination gradually decreases. The Mississippisn rock were
deposited and took form under water but were eroded when
elevated above the ocean surface. There ia perfect conformity
between the strata of the coal measures and the upper surface
Of the Mississippian deep well records in Kansas show that there
Is but little hope of ever securing oil production below the
Mississippian In this territory.
EXCEEDINGLY FAVORABLE PROPOSITION.
EXCEEDINGLY FAVORABLE PRoPOsITION-Your
block of leases are In the territory that in my judgment. are
an exceedingly favorable proposition for the following reasons.
FIRST-Because you have three sands. the first at about
325 feet. the second at about 4O feet. and the third at 600
feet, and you will strike the Missippian at about 100 or $50
feet.
SECOND-Having three sands. you have THREE CHAN
CEs OF GETTING PRODUCTION.
THIRD-The shallow depth of all the sands--the deepest
being only 600 feet-reduces the cost Of drilling so that is
ONE OF THE MOST FAVORABLE SPECULATIVE PROPO-
SlTIONS | HAVE EVER SURVEYED.
FOURTH-The fact that you are now on the eastern edge
OF the heaviest and longest continuous producing Oil structures
in the world looks favorable that you should get production.
FlFTH-The fact that a short distance to the south west
OF your block Of leases is the famous Nowata field in which
over S coo producing oil wells have been drilled in. and to the
north of your block, a few miles. are several producing Oil
wells and only a few milea from your block of leases is the Weimer
held with several producing wells with heavy production TO the
west, to the southwest and to the northwest. and with light
production in two directions from your block. it is reasonable
to expect that you may get production.
SIXTH-There is a well developed structure and several
minor structures on your block of leases and the major stguct-
ue, upon which made the Well location. Is well defined and
has sufficient rock dip and sufficient concentration area THAT
1T PROMISES WELL FOR PRODUCTION.
S~EVENTH-Becaus the general trend OF the main
streams on this block of leases is to the north and east. ana
the main structure, upon which made the well location has 4
slight trend to the northeast which is the general trend of the
main Oil producing structure OF Kansas and Oklahoma.
EIGHTH-The structure and geological conditions are
very sim lar to those in the territory in which there is heav!
production close to you. WHICH IS AN EXCEEDINGLY
FAVORABLE INDICATION.
NlNTH-The entire proposition offers many favorable
indications because there are three shallow sands giving three
chances at production at a minimum depth. The block OF
leases is within the area of probable production as indicated b!
the Oklahoma Geological survey.
There is heavy production to the West Northwest anu
Southwest of this block of leases and there is light production
in the immediate vicinity and there is a well developed struc
ture AND THE WELL LOCATION is PROPERLY MADE On
THAT STRUCTURE. AND 1T is REASONABLE, UNDER
SUCH CONDITIONS. TO BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL Sk
CURE PRODUCTION. HAMILTON Z. ANDERSON,
