scribes how One wildcae oi6 well enera
operates
"sR 40 once eAelo will appear epos
the streets of the town ewo or three
Strangers and 10 few days they will
t0t 10 o@t In some way ehas they are
making Investigations to know If there
are mcO is the section who will lease
their land for oil purposes. They walk
about among the farmers and ranch
men and soon secure $4,000 or 10000
acres for dollar an acre or less.
"Then they send for an expert geol-
ogjst to go over the land and locate q
place to put in well. He makes
an examination and gives Il favorable
report. In short time a man is em-
ployed to put down a well, and in q
few weeks the derrick is put up, and
the owners Of the leases begin to make
arrangements to sell leases at high
prices. After the well is down 300 or
400 feet, the owners of the leases make
1t known that the log Of the well IL
first class--just like the wells at
Ranger, Caddo, or some other Oil field.
This creates little more excitement,
and some of the leases that cost so
cents or dollar now sell for SIS or $40
per acre. But the greatest excitement
has not come yet. Wait until they get
down about 1900 feet and then see
what will take place.
"All at once the report goes out like
wildfire over the town and the coun.
try where the well is located that they
have struck Showing of gas and
the excitement runs o little higher
and leases 20 up again.
'If you are not careful G bit will
get hung about this time, but it may
be q little later on.
Thea Comes the Cleanup.
"When they get down about 100 feet
farther, then the thing comes off just |
right; they strike a showing Of oil. |
BY this time the Oil dealers are wild |
with excitement and the leases 60 up
again.
'Now they get ready ana put a guard
about the well and allow no one ex.
cept some oil expert TO go about
It. Soon afterward bit gets hung OF
4 casing Is pulled apart. and there is
a six-weeks' delay, and during this de-
ay the owners get busy and sell at
several thousand dollars per acre near
he well.
"Just as soon as the excitement be-
gins to die down they send out a re-
bort that the bit is hung and it is Inn
possible to pull it, and they take down
he derrick and leave the country with
/ fine bag of money and the commu-
lity in wonder as to why they did not
.et more than a showing of OIL"
The takers got just what they went
fter-the peoples money, and when
hey got that they pulled up and left.
)nce in a hundred times 1t may be
hat such men really find oil and the
eighbors make money, but in most
ases the well is fake and poor men
nd women are stripped Of their
honey.
