CHOCTAW w COMPANY
PROPOSES REFINERY
FOR ASPHALTIC OILS

The following interview has been
given the Ardmoreite by the active
spirit in securing the erection Of a
refinery for handling road and as
phalt base oils:
Probably the most extensive oil
fields in the neighborhood OF Ard
more are those which are strictly
asphaltic base oils, and which conN
tain no light products whatsoever,
and therefore produce no kerosene
or gasoline on distillation, or il any,
only small amount OF kerosene.
The lighter oils, which are found
in what is known as the Healdton
ijeld, seem to be confined largely
to that particular area now pretty
fully developed, directly west CT
Healdton, but new fields OF the
heavier oils are being opened up or
indications are shown all over the
country for forty miles west, and
fully as much south and north OF
Healdton, and there are many other
areas in the immediate districts
surrounding, which will be fully de-
veloped later on.
AT Wheeler, about seven miles
east from Healdton, oil Of this char
acter has been produced for some
twelve years, and the wells are hold
ing up to their original production.
These wells are small, but as they
are found in sands at a shallow
depth, the expense of drilling them
lis not great, and the oil being heavy
Nnd yiscous, these wells do not pro-
duce great number of barrels per
day, but they will furnish produc-
tion AMIDST indefinitely. Larger
wells have been found of the same
character of oil at a deeper strata
near Fox, which is known as the
Wild Cat Jim territory, and direct
ly west of there, near Fox, in what
is known as the Two-Four Country
another extensive field is being de-
yeloped
These oils furnish large per
centage OF what is known as Petro-
lene. This is a brown oil which
furnishes the basis for the manu-
facture of asphalt by synthetically
building it up with oxygen and by.
drogen. They also produce lubri
eating oils, gas oils, varnish oils
mineral rubber, and some kerosene

oil is asphalt, for which the great

from here to Tulsa and Chicago,
where it goes at low rate, while
local refinerieS are forced to send
their refined products by rail trans
portation and sell it in Chicago ter
ritory. 1t is plain therefore, that
the logical place for a refinery for
these heavy asphalt base oils, is
right at Ardmorc, where the asphalt
can be sold in surrounding terri
tories, and where the supplies are
now abundant and will be more
abundant, and that such a refinery
has manifest advantages over the
light refinery, which must compete
for business by car transportation
in distant territory.
"The Choctaw Refining Company,
a local Ardmore concern, is plan
ming the erection of a five hundred
barrel plant to make road asphalt
and the higher grade asphalt as well,
together with lubricating oils, wakes
varnish oils, etc. By intensive manu-
facture, it is shown that a barrel OF
this oil is more valuable than the
light oils, when properly manufac-
tured, and it would seem that a
five thousand barrel refinery would
find sufficient raw material for its
operation in this territory. Figures
made by experts show that the in
Stallation of such a plant on a
proper basis, and continuously op-
Grated for one year, will return the
first cost with a liberal added profit.
This appears to be the most needed
refinery and the most profitable one
for this district. 1t has been CON
stantly stated that the asphalt de-
posts OF Ardmore were her great
est asset, and this is going to be
realized through the asphalt base
oils

Suggestion for a Camping "Trip.

Buy a bottle of Chamberlain's

leaving home. AS a rule it cannot
be obtained when on a hunting, fish-

it be obtained while on board the
cars or steamships and at such
times and places it is most likely
to be needed. The safe way Is to
have it with you
