DnlaneY's Company Has Well

and a few hundred feet south OF the
main street of the camp. The well was
drilled in fifteen feet Thursday even
Ing and is doing better than 1,4OO bar
rels at the present time, with a strong
showing of gas. Wells of this size were
not looked for in that part of the town
and an additional impetus to drilling in
the townsite was evident after the an
nouncement
Sipe Springs six miles east of Des-
demona and three miles west of COR

demona operators and leaSers at the
present time From all reports another
field has been opened. Tracts one mile
from the first well are bringing from
81 900 to $500 per acre, with nearly
all the territory leased by the big com
panies. There are some intermediate
tracts. however which are rapidly
changing hands.
Speculation is rife regarding the new
railroad about to be constructed py

speculation about the location of new
townsite, which it is said he contem-
plates. Word has been passed that he
will not make the present town the
stopping place of his trains and that
he will insist on moving away 1ew
miles from the present town The loca-
ton of the new town is being kept a

Ranger, Tex. Aug. .--Jakehamon
has been decided upon as the name
for the new town to be located just In
side Of the Comanchc county line on
the Wichita Falls, Ranger & Fort

from the office of Jake Hamon, who
is Interested in the building of the road.
Hamon has been building railroads
in Texas and Oklahoma for ten years
and this is the first town which will
bear his name.
The townsite privilege of the new
road has been given to Jack Langston,
and he will begin its survey at once.
The roadbed must be completed from
Ranger to Jakehamon within three
months, according to the contract made
with the construction company. The
cost will be about $4,000 a mile
The bed, according to the contract
Is to be completed from Ranger to Dub

ridge to Dublin within five months
Steel probably will be ordered soon so
that as rapidly as the roadbed is com

Hamon.
AS there are no difficult cuts to be
made, Hamon says he will try for
record in the building of the roadbed.

Plain Words About Graham

The well that deserves the closest
watching in the Ardmore district now
il the Johnson & Smith well in section
31-2s.2w. in the Graham district ms
we'll has an oil showing at 2,2S5 rect.
The 3inch tubing was set yesterday
and cement is being pumped into the
well today. When the cement sets the
well will be dried up and drilling Will
be done. II requires from ten to four
teen days for cement to set under
water and until after that time there
will be nothing to report on this we'll.
Whether it will be a well or not. no
one can tell for the hole has carried
from 1900 to 1000 feet Of water since
the sand was found.
This well is located southeast of Fox
and the drilling there has been so
treacherous that very few companies
will go in there and spend from $780,
600 to $50 900 to drill well.
More money has been spent IN FOX
than has ever been taken out of the
field. The wells that produce are light
and large per cent of them do not
produce At all.
The area there is freak.sh and when
that is said the whole truth is told.
Whether Graham will be freakish
or not no one can tell 1t may develop
into an important field and the offset
well may be failure. Only the drlil
can tell. While there are parties who
are enthusiastically buying in that loca'
lily there are others who are just as
successful in the game who are en-
Enthusiastically selling. on the whole
the we'll is very encouraging to the
country. it at least gives promise OF
resulting in another field for the coun'
~ and until other drilling is done there
will be a keen interest manifested IN
the situation.

Aualyzed Rolf Crude

]. T.. Smith who is drilling about five
miles northwest of Rolf. in Pontotoc
county near the Arbuckle uplift. has
well between 400 and 500 feet that Is
producing a small quantity of oil which
has been reported previously in this col
umn. A report from Rolf today states
that Mr.. Smith has had this oil ana
lyzed and it proves to contain per
centage of chthyol, and he is of
the opinion that he has discovered
an interesting area. 1t is also inter
esting to note that the oil found at
Homer near the same range of noun
tains in Carter county contains ichthyol
and il is possible that the Arbuckles
will yet give up much wealth more
than is found in its lime rock.

On Ricketts, I,'alnn

One Of the interesting wells In the

the L. G. Ricketts, farm. Tho well
was spudded last Thursday and at the
last report 1; had reached Il depth OF

reason that II is being drilled by the

further reason that there is produc
ton nearby and the location Is looked
upon with favor. The company has
made every arrangement necessary for

ArdmOre Boys Sell Acreage

TEX" Rickard, erstwhile famous prize
fight promoter but now one OF the big
oil operators of the Texas field, Mon
day closed a deal for the holdings of
Heenan & Coe, in the Ranger field.
The deal covers 730 acres of leases in
some of the very best territory in the
field and involves more than $1,000, ,OOo.
Rickard was in Fort Worth Monday
en- route to New York. He has been
out in the field for the past week. He
will return again In about ten days ana
expects to spend the greater part of his
time in Texas.
OF the 73O acres purchased 1873 lie
in Eastland county near the Stephens
county line and adjoining the J. e.
Barnes tract. The j. Z. Barnes tract
adjoins the Marie Barnes tract on
which the Gulf Production Company
brought in big well last week. An
other lease covers 90 acres in the Des-
demona field and in the new Sipc
Springs field Richard takes over 16c
acres. The remainder is in smaller
tracts scattered throughout the Ranger
district.
Rickard brought in another producer
Saturday when the W. 7. Barker well.
which has been a heavy gasser for more
than two weeks. blew itself in. The
well is making about 10000 900 feet of
gas and about 200 barrels of oil Rick
ard expects it TO prove one of the big
wells of the field.
Within u few weeks Rickard and his
associates will have ten wells producing
or drilling in the field. He has one
producer in the Cotton tract and one
on the Barker. He is drilling two more
wells on the Cotton, one on the Mos,
tract south of the Butler lease, two
more on the Barker tract and one on
the Coffman tract in Stephens County.
1t is Richards intention to develop
his holdings as rapidly as possible. He
state Monday that not only his Ran

Smyrna times., 1919-05-07

Smyrna Town Council has again
demonstrated itself to be a most pro-
gressive body, by at last doing some
thing for Commerce and other streets.
In voting to spend $4,000 in perma-
ment work, they have acted wisely
and met the approval of citizens gen.
orally. For some years Commerce
street has been in a bad condition.
Property owners and citizens have
importuned Councilmen for better and
cleaner streets, and that their efforts
are at last to be realized, comes as
welcome news in the wake of better
electric light plant and day current.
Tarvia X, a celebrated penetration
material, put out by Barrett & Com
pany, of Philadelphia, is to be the
composition of the new street which
will be rebuilt by a practical road
builder of Newark, Mr.. F. w. Lovett,
road like at present thru the town
of Newark, and of which many of the
most beautiful thoroughfares of
Washington, D. c., are built. 1t will
be a vast improvement over the pres
ent miserable, rutty, dust-covered
roadbed, and will help beautify and
advertise Smyrna as nothing else has
done in recent years. Smyrna is
surely nipping up in it's progressive
municipal improvements, and we are
most happy to note it.
