EDITOR ENTERS
 THE OIL GAME
GRIFFIN SMITH HEADS PARA GOULD COMPANY THAT HAS BOUGHT VALUABLE LEASES IN TEXAS FIELD.

Griffin Smith, editor of the Daily Press of Paragould, brother-in-law of the Daggett boys of this city. has entered the oil game. And when we say entered" we mean all that the term implies, for Smith never does anything by halves or quarters. He and eleven other substantial business men of Paragould have purchased S45,000 worth of leases m the now famous Burkburnett held, have organized a stock com pahy with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars and will at once oegln the work of sinking wells on the leases.
 MT. Smith has just returned from a trip to the oil fields of Texas and m the issue of the Paragould Daily rress of Saturday he writes most giowlngly of the wonderful oppor- tunlties for making big money bv investments in oil stocks. A portion of the article that appears in the Dally Press follows:
 K. P Taylor, c. w. Highfan and Griffin Smith returned last Satur- day from Wichita Falls, Texas. and the Burkburnett oil fields, where they spent several days looking over territory in that area which is inst now pulsating with life and action oi such terrific moment that one is reminded of the lurid descriptions ol the Yukon gold rush and the early uays of '4s in California.

if stated authoritatively that the oil fields are paying annual dlVloenos of sixty; per cent on two huiioreo n;llion dollars of capital.
 Many of the wells, however, have been promoted by wild cat organl- cations interested only in purchas- mo a small amount of acreage some where near the actual geological sur vev-anvthing near enough to per init attachment of the name burK to the coperation, and hundreds or thousands of dollars of stockholders money have thus been squandereo uselessly. However, there are doz- ens-eyen hundreds-of companies doing business on the square, DOT inc carefully and conscientiously TOT the purpose of making good, ana they give accurate accountings to their stockholders. The wells Ill the north Texas fields stretch over vast area, from Burkburnett on the Red River, south to the Colorado river. One of the most gratifying features to oil men is the small per centage of dry holes in the Texas fields. the small number of "gasers and the large average initial produc- ton. A table recently compiled and published in the Fort Worth Record shows that only slightly more than twelve per cent of the wells are dry. This is regarded as remarkable, con- sidering the amount of "wild cat ting" that has been done. The same table also shows that the average initial production in the Texas fields was 416 barrels per we'll. It IS l conservatively estimated by experts that the Texas fields this year alone will produce oil to the value of one hundred and thirty-five million dol lars, while gold production in the ! United States is only eighty-four million dollars and silver sixty-one million dollars. Alaska's gold mines produce only about fifteen million dollars annually These are the cold indisputable figures that tell the story of the golden lure of the Tex. as oil fields.
 Messrs. Taylor, Smith and High fill closed a deal while in Wichita Falls for a lease for which they paid forty-five thousand dollars They are preparing an association of Paragould business men who ex. pect shortly to promote an oil com pany and will perhaps place stock for sale on the local market. The five acre tract will be turned over to the corporation on special assign. ment, provided it is not sold out. right within the next few days. Ii is understood that bid has beer made to purchase the tract at sixty five thousand dollars, or profit o1 twenty thousand dollars to the mem bers of the association. Those who are backing the venture are as fol lows: Griffin Smith, president; w

one young man with whom the Para gould party came in contact stated that he had for several nights been walking four or five miles out into the rural section and sleeping in a deserted cabin in the woods. The Burkburnett oil field proper is about fifteen miles from Wichita Falls. Here activities are wholly beyond de- scription. Oil derricks dot the sky line like thousands of towering giants, and the continuous chug, chug of pumps serves to call ones attention to the fact that Mother Earth is yielding up her rich harvest of paying liquids at each stroke of the big pumps. Derricks are con- hstructed in almost every back yard

Burk we'll, one of the strongest producers in the field, and for which an offer of S1 1,125, ,O00 is said to have been re. fused. The territory embraces what is now commonly referred to as the Burkburnett extension field, an arss which until recently has not been looked upon as on exceptional value
 A number of wildcat" concerns
 however, bought land in this sector at moderate figures because it was necessary to put down wells and comply with contracts. To the ut. ter surprise of the most sagacious oil men, these wells began coming in with a whoop, and the most startl. ing feature of the venture was the fact that they were all gushers
 There are thousands of wells in the Burkburnett field, but only few o1 them are gushers. In the extension field, of nine wells drilled to com. pletion, NINE have come in gush.
