AT OUTS WITH STATE PRES.
Ellsworth Record.)

That Ellsworth local union, A. S. of
H., local union with over 500 mem
bers, is out Of harmony with State and
National President J. n. Tittemore
was shown Saturday evening by reso-
lutions adopted at a large meeting
held in the Ellsworth town hall. At
the meeting a resolution was also
adopted denying any responsibility
for views expressed by Thos. Nimlos
in his tour Of the state making speech
es at Equity meetings.
Following are the two resolutions
brought in by the committee on reso-
lutions, consisting of J. F. Larson
Theo. Swanson and R. J. Cooney<and
unanimously adopted:
Resolution
We, the members of Ellsworth
local union, A. S. of E., regret ex-
ceedingly that controversy has
arisen between prominent state
and national officials of our socie-
ty, and that action has been taken
to discontinue the contract under
which the national union took over
the Equity News. Realizing that
all such controversies dissipates
the strength of our organization,
and retards is growth and believ-
ing that the publication of two
Equity papers in the state would
entail unnecessary expense and be
detrimental to the, progress of our
society,
Therefore, we respectfully re-
quest that no action be taken to
dissolve the contract between the
state and national boards with re-
gard to the publishing of the
Equity News until the next state
convention. We believe in the old
motto, Omitted we stand, divided
we fall
Resolution
Whereas, Mr.. Thomas Nimlos.
member of Ellsworth local union,
A. S. of E., is taking a very &C
tive part in the present contro-
versy between the state and ma
tional officials of our society, we,
the members of the Ellsworth To-
cal, desire to make it known that
whatever views Mr.. Nimlos may
express he is making as an indi-
vidual and, has not in any way
been authorized to speak for this
local.

The policy Of the company, 1t MAS announced. was to tap
the gas deposits before developing the oil possibilities OF the
properties, which are surrounded by oil fields Of large pro-
duction. A certain indication that the companys properties
are rich in OF! was the discovery recently OF . twenty foot oil

FROM TULSA. OKLA. OIL 4 GAS JOURNAL

In the Journal last week WAS printed a picture OF an alrplane
apable OF carving 100 persons. The picture was interesting az a
possibility OF what the future is to develop in matters OF aviation.
And, in passing, it is we'll to remember that this monster flying
machine is given its power by gasoline, the magic essence OF ener'
" from oil and gs wells. Gasoline i a wonder-worker OF the
strictly essential class.
The Elbing district in Township 23-4, Butler County, is the
most interesting spot in the Kansas oil region, as a completion
may be expected this week which should show whether or not the
iOharrel well on the Elbing farm, completed several weeks ago,
opened n pool OF any dimensions. There are several wells drilling
near the discovery well. winch Is still producing $50 barrels daily,
and one OF these is down nearly =, 100 feet, which is not far from
the sand depths in the Elbing well.

TIE PROPERTIES.

Besides 100 acres in Oklahoma In the Craig county gas
field. and $50 acres in Labete county, Kansas. Oil and Gas
fields. the company has under opt on over coo acres in Green
wood and Wilson counties. Kansas; two gusher producing
counties Of the Mid-continent field. Under our Labette and
Craig county properties there are two oil sands which have not
thus far been touched with a drI. The county adjoining
Craig has 5000 producing oil wells In these two sands, and it
looks as though we should secure the same kind of production
in the sand under our leases. A report has jdst reached US
that a SO barrel oil well has been brought in, one nile East
Of our Labette county leaaes. This oil was found in the deep
err sands. We have the same chances.
COST OF DRILLING.
One feature Of the gas fields is the extreme small cost Of
drilling. Well No. l, on our Craig county leases, was drilled
for STA to q depth of 4O feet, and with the other expenses
Incidental thereto. the entire well was completed for 81 900.
Only one joint casing is necessary.
1t has ben said OF the Ozark Oil and Gas Company that
they have started out with greater assets than any other COM
pany capitalized for this amount in the Stale of Missouri.
Should we secure a production of 10. 900 900 cubic feet OF gas
per day at the current rate of ten cents per 1000. the income
of this property would be 1866 900 a year. This Is a dividend
of over 700 per cent on the capita ization, and this Is only the
income from gas. The oil sands have not been touched.
