sensations broke SO big and SO fast
Friday and Friday night in the
Wichita fields that the excitement,
which had become hectic in the last
three weeks, waxed into a mad hys-
terra Of plunging on leasing acre
age and stock purchases.
The scramble started with the re-
port published in Friday mornings
papers that a fifteen-foot sand had
been found in the BurkWaggoner
well at SIS feet in Block "a, Red
River Valley lands, six miles north
west of Burkburnett townsite and
five miles from hitherto furthest
west production of the Humble and
Hammond Art companies on the
Herndon and Fisk tracts. This re-
port precipitated plunging in the
territory northwest of Burkburnett
for distance of ten miles and stuff
close in around the Burk-Waggoner
west at fabulous prices.
Next came verification of the re-
port that the Humble well, a mile
and a half northwest of Burkburnett
townsite, on the Herndon land, came
in early Friday. The deep mud re-
the roads impossible for long
stretches, but this did not deter ex-
cited lease hunters from ,wading
over soggy fields and through pools
knee deep to reach that section for
personal investigation. The Humble
well was flowing By 7.o'clock Fri
day morning it had made coo bar
rels, by noon, 900, sand by. night
1900.
Next came the report that the
HammOnd-Art well had hit the sand
and was standardizing half a mile
northwest of the Humble we'll
Then the HammondR Ray well on
the Chenault tract, mile and a
quarter northwest of the townsite,
came in Friday Afternoon; estimat-
ed to be good for 1900 barrels.
Leases northwest of Burkburnett
shot up $1,000 at a clip as the
hours passed and by Friday night
Block GO, north of the Hammond-Art
well, was being sold at $4,000 an
acre, with several owners holding
out for $4,000 an acre.
Among the lucky owners who drew
direct benefit were J. c. Wharton
and F. c. Hall of the johnson Drill
Company, Wichita Falls, and their
lWO dsSOcldtSS, II. r. EuIuDHIey Ol
Fort Worth and L. Z. Jones of
Wichita Falls, owners of thirty-five
acres in the southeast corner of
Block "a, half a mile north of the
Hammond-Art we'll They have
derrick up and will start drilling
soon.
Thirty days ago this northwest
land was selling at $1,000 an acre.
Probably the luckiest outfit in get
ting in early was the Healdton Oil
& Gas Company which operates in
the CARRIER field in Oklahoma. 1t
bought twenty acres northwest of
Burkburnett a month ago for s24,-
600 and now it is valued at 100000
for the land alone. It is located in
Block CO. Many of the owners in
that section are refusing to sell on
any terms under S25,00O per acre.
