Roads leading into Stephens county
from the nearest points on the rail-
roads are crowded with teams hauling
rig timbers and supplies. Breckin-
ridge, Caddo and other towns in the
county are preparing for growth
that will rival that of Ranger. The
wells of Stephens county are scatter
ed over wider area than those of
either Eastland or Comanche coun-
tv, and the average initial produc-
ton is greater.
Not many can accurately predict
the future Of the great new Texas
fields b,lt it seems certain that pres
ent production. will be doubled within
year The present production is
more than 100000 barrels dav. This
is worth more than S165,000,00O
year The value of the entire gold
production Of the United States and
Canada is $84,465,00 annually. Oil
from the new Texas fields is worth
practically twice as much.

the third quarter should be not less
than 2OOO0,oOO barrels and for the
fourth quarter about 29,0OO,OO0 bar,

for the year of 100000 barrels OF
light oil.

Those Familiar With Field De-
clare Production Will DOu-
BILE in Year.
THE PREDICTION OF
EXPERTS HELD GOOD
Many at First We're Suspicious. and
Scoffcd at>the New Fields, !.
Chasing the Prophets
Boomers"

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. TT was
in the latter part of January 1919
that the new North Central and
West Texas fields attained a daily
production of 100000 barrels. Geolo-
gists and operators familiar with the
fields declared that this production
would be doubled within year.
Many scoffed. The prophets were
classified as boomers" The world
was still looking at the new fields
with SUSPICION. The consenus of
opinion seemed to be that the new
Purkburnett pool would be exhausted
in few weeks at most. The g'ooms
pointed to the many wells being
drilled and told each other that Burk-
burnett would be a memory in few
months.
just five months after new fields
attained their first 100000 barrels
daily production they were making
100000 barrels. Burkburnett, in
stead of being memory was a
very present reality. 1t had more
than doubled it's share of the pro-
duction and the new extension to the
northwest was opening up bigger
and better wells than had ever been
found in the area.
Out at Ranger there is a geologist
who is recognized as one Of the lead
ers in his profession. He is con-
suited by the experts of the big COM
panies and it is not unusual for for
tunes to be spent or withheld on his
bare word.
In recent statement, made last
May, to be exact, this man declared
that the production of the deep sands
of West Texas will be doubled within
the next year. He pointed out the
fact that big companies are under
contract to drill in the very near flu
ture on many Of the leases which they

OIL OUTPUT or
TEXAS IN 1919
g. MIL. BARRELS
This is Estimate of Experts,
Basing Calculation on
Production.

The total oil production of Texas
for the year 1919 should reach 94,000,-
600 barrels worth $184,000,000, ac-
cording to an estimate recently made
by experts who based their calcula-
tions on the production recorded for
the first half Of the year, says the
Fort Worth Record.
Fairly complete figures show that
for the first six months of 1919 there
was produced in Texas 34.187,850
barrels, of which 10,786,990 barrels.
were heavy oil produced in the Gulf
coast region and at Corsicana and
23,400,800 barrels were light, pro-
duced in the north central and west
Texas field. Figures, except those
for June which were estimated, were
based on pine line runs, tank car and
water shipments and sales to local
consumers.
There was an increase of only IA
per cent in the production Of heavy
oil in the second quarter Of the year
over the first quarter while tho in
crease in the production of light oil
in the same period was AZ per cent.
For the second half of the wear q

heavy oil is anticinated 1t is believ-
ed +hot the new flush production in
such fields as Hull and West Column
hia will offset the gradual decrease in
DRILLING in the proven districts but
that the new fields at Barber's Hill
and Blue Ridge may result in a small
pain for the period. On This theorv
the estimate on the production of
heavy oil in Texas for the year is.
22.000.O00 barrels.
Producers are receiving good
price for their oil in north central and
west Texas. Vigorous drilling cam
paigns are on and validating is being
done on scale never before attemnt-
ed. This is especially true in the
Rurk burnett. Ranger, Com anche and
Sterhens county areas. The actual
production is now more than 100000
barrels and it is confidently expected
that this will BIO doubled before the
wear is over. The extension of the
Burkburnett pool and the constant
opening ND of new areas in Eastland
and Stephens counties make it habar-
dous to estimate what the fields will
produce.
For nresent PURPOSES the estimate
is based on the ratio of gain shown

ond quarters of the year, or As per

! hold and that the smaller companies
will be compelled to get production
soon in order to keep alive.
Prediction Has Held Good.
This prediction has held good to
date. In the short time that has
elapsed since it was made the in
crease in production has been at a
rate that, if continued will see Il e
West Texas production doubled in g
much shorter time than one year.
There is constantly increasing &C
tivity in both Eastland and Comanche
counties. In Stephens county, where
many of the companies holding large
acreage were slow in getting started
to work, there is enormous activity.
On June 20 there were 258 locations,
rigs buildings, rigs up and rigs on
the ground in that county. Forty
seven new locations had been made
during the preceding week Prepa-
rations had been made to begin drill
ing on fully 80 per cent of these loca-
tons within the period; of 80 days.
The Texas company is the largest
generator in Stephens county and the
Oldest. For more than a wear after
the bringing in of the McCleskv we'll
at Ranger, the public accepted the
McCleskey as the discovery" we'll of
the deep sand country of West Texas.
1t then transpired that the Texas
company had completed three wells in

key was brought in at Ranger. One

The Texas company was an oil COM

ems county was isolated. No railroad
entered it and the population was
sparse. Nothing was learned by the
outside world of the fortune that
had been unearthed by the Texas COM

OKLAHOMA FIELD
IN FEATURED BY
BIG PRODUCERS

Tulsa. Okla.-Oklahoma and Kan
sas oil fields both dropped off in pro-
duction a little during the past week,
the daily average production of Okla
homa being 219,350 barrels COMPARED
! with last weeks mark of 219.550 bar
! rels: and Kansas averaged only 81 900
barrels compared with last weeks
mark of 1885 barrels. The Okla
homa slump is attributed entirely to
the Healdton field, which dropped 400
barrels, while Cushing was increas-
ing 300 barrels above last weeks
mark, and the other fields of the
state were holding their own. The
Kansas decline on the other hand. is
attributed entirely to Colorado. which
dropped heavily, while Augusta made
feeble increase, and the other
fields of that state increased about
400 barrels. Production is as fol-
lows:
Oklahoma: Cushing, $4,000 bar
rels: Healdton. 1850 barrels other
fields. 144,700 barrels. Total 219,350
barrels.
Kansas: Eldorado $4,000 barrels;
AUGUSTA, 1900 barrels: other fields,
1850 barrels. oTtal 81 900 barrels.
Big Wells Feature Oklahoma.
Two large wells. each flowing 90
barrels per hour were COMPLETED in
Oklahoma territory during the week.
While one of these was not actually
completed during the past week, in
one sense of the word, it really may
be classed as a completion of last
week because something was done
with it that brought up the produc-
ton. The big we'll in question is the
Marland Refining company No. 6 on
the Brett farm, in the southeast quar-
ter of 8-25-2e, in the Ponca City field
Drilled in last June Goth, the we'll be-
gan flowing 600 barrels from sand
from 3.871-3,877 feet, but there was
800 feet of open hole, and during the
past week 300 foot liner was set,
shutting off this open hole with the
result that is flowing 80 barrels per
hour 1t filled 250 barrel tank in
two hours Wednesday, and it was
necessary to pinch it in until addi-
tional tankage could be erected. The
