OIL GEOLOG|ST
WARNS AGAINST
WILDCAT WELLS

Warning against wild cat"
schemes from the Texas Fields was
noted here yesterday by j. r. Strang,
a former resident of the cas-. side of
the valley who has been identified
with oil companies for the past five
or six years, was visitor in the val
ley the early part of the week, calling
on old time friends and putting them
wise, more or less, to the oil situation
in Texas
According to Mr.. Strang there is in
the Northern Central Texas district
approximately 10000 square miles of
oil lands, oil being in reach Of the
drills. But a geologist survey of
these oil lands has proven that only
two per cent of the total is high struc-
ture land. This means that the other
% per cent of the land is low struc-
ture land and is not oil producing. Oil
floats on water and it is in the high
structure land that oil can be drilled
for successfully.
In this district there is now being
produced over two hundred thousand
barrels of high grade oil daily which
sells for 1925 per barrel at the wells.
At the present time there is under
operation of drilling some 1000 wells
which cost an an average $4,000,
There has been some two hundred
million dollars spent in development
work in this district to date,
While only two percent of the TO-
600 square miles is considered as oil
producing lands, still, Mr. !Strang
says, it will fall below that amount.
Millions have been spent, millions are
being spent and millions will be spent
in this district, some of which will be
returned to the investors but some of
which will never produce cent of
returns.
The buying and selling of oil stocks
is not away to make money in the oil
business, states Mr.. Strang, unless
one buys old line stock, such as STAN
dard and Union oil.
Oil companies are not promoted to
make money for the investor but for
the promoters which is sort OF like
the bartender who in the good old
days invited to have a drink and who
replied, "This stuff is made to sell.
not to drink"
The way to make money on oil IL,
Mr. Strang says, to buy and sell oil
properties.
Mr.. Strang and associates control
some five million dollars worth Of
Texas oil fields property.
