Happenings of q Week
 From Texas Oil Fields
AT
 BURk RELIEVED

FL PASO September 6. = The congestcd condition of the Burk- burnett oil field is gradually be- cor,.nS ltieved and a steady routine Ot developments is taking thC plac2 of the spectacular and uncertain con- ditions of the northwest pool" said w. E. Arnold, who returned today from several weeks visit to the oil fields.
 The edges of the field have been practically defined with the exception of the north and west along the river bank bordering the Oklahoma line"
 MT. Arnold stated that there is still considerable speculation as to wheth- CT the oil crosses the river in Til man county. The Burk Fox well has proven the field to almost the edge of the Water.
 According to MT Arnold an offset is being drilled to the holdings of the Billie Burk Oil company property which should determine the value of this concerns holdings in the next few treeks.
 "The Silver Cycle, in block 75, has brought in well which is estimated at 2,O0G barrels and which has broken loose and shot uver the derrick on three or four occasions" MT. Arnold stated. The well has good location and is the largest we'll brought in by an B. Paso company in the northwest pool
 The Ranger-Burk Consolidated ha. one well on the sand which should bt in next week and two drilling" MT Arnold stated. They have encoun tered the usual difficulties growint out of the congested conditions. "The Fl Paso-Burkburnett and tn, Big also have two wells whicl should be in almost any day"

hue for stockholders, and the pessi- lnism of few weeks ago has given away to optimism. Heretofore it has all been going out, but the near fu- ture promises to see lot coming back.
 Encouraging Signs.
 The Fl Paso-Burkburnett Oil Com pany has reported most encouraging results from it's operations in the Burkburnett field and as soon as the congested conditions now existing are relieved, the company will be in a position to turn into the pipe lines.
 The Big Four along with the Silver Cycle, is subject to the same delays that all Burkburnett companies are contending with Pipe line facilities are being rushed and in a short time the available oil will be turned into real money to the benefit of these companies and their stockholders.
 In the Ranger field Ocean and Ranger Central are making progress and before many days, it is anticipat- ed that there will be sensational re- ports from these properties.
 The Pullman Oil & Refining com pany has been most fortunate in it's choice of holdings in the Desdemona pool and reports as given on the first we'll on the Desdemona townsite in dicate that when completed it will be one of the larger wells of the field. This news has been expected in all confidence since the bringing in of the big Reilly well, located some 15O feet from the Pullman. The Pullman company is in good shape to take care of it's production, as large stor- age was provided and pipe line con- nections made. The company has no problem as to drill sites owing to it's good fortune in having 61 close in acres in the Desdemona field The company is now drilling its second well.

OPTIMISM REPL LACES PESS|M|SA
 AMONG B|SBEE O|L STOCKHOLDERS

At the beginning of the oil excite ment Bisbee was in a receptive mood and quickly developed a frame of mind where oil was the all absorbing topic. The game was new to most Bisbeeans and the conceptions and ideas formed at that time as to what might be expected were bound to be over optimistic, at least in regard to the length of time that must pass be- fore it was reasonable to look for re- suits. Money and time are both re- quired to develop the best properties and to put any company on a paying basis. The money was given freely but most people were impatient and expected quick action.
 Not being properly prepared for even a comparatively short wait to see what, was to come from invest ments. there came a time when the public in some degree lost confidence in the ultimate results and there fol- lowed period when oil did not look as golden as it was painted.
 Recent local development in the Burkburnett, Desdemona, Ocean and Ranger fields have revived the lag ging interest and once more Bisbee is a Tive" oil town.
 Hundreds of Bisbeeans are now expecting dividends in short time or ~have held onto their stocks long enough to see them rise to a pleasing figure in view of the progress made upon the wells in which they have bought an interest
 Fortunes are not rsre a day: the person investing in an oil proposi- tion must do so with the idea that a wait is necessary. Sometimes it is longer than others, but quick returns are not possible. It takes time to make contracts and time to drill, and there are unaccountable delays in al most every drilling proposition.
 But things are taking on a rosier

O|L.F|ELDS ADD
 TO U. 5. WEALTH

According to Roscoe Ady, publicity man of the Ft. Worth chamber of commerce, in the Texas Bankers Journal for July, S150, 100000 year is the value of the oil yield of the north central Texas oil fields and that is 70 per cent more than the to- tai value of the gold produced in a year in the entire United States, in cluding Alaska.
 In less than 20 months vast amounts of Capital have come into the oil business in north, central and west Texas, MT. Ady says, and more than 1000, 900, 900 has been spent on leases alone. He puts the number of wells drilling or producing at 1900 and the production at 1S0,000 barrels daily. He claims that geologists predict this production will be doubled within a year. During the first quarter of 1919 the dry holes were only 12 per cent of the completions and the aver age initial flow per well of the pro- ducers was 416 barrels.
 MT. Ady claims that only 10 per cent of the production was brought in by the small companies the other 90 being the work of the big concerns.

O|L |S STRUCK
 IN OCEAN WELL

ssEASTLAND, Tex, Sept. 6.-The Ocean Oil and Refining company's Brooks No. 1 well has drilled three feet into the first pay on top of the black lime and is making about 1900 barrels of oil from depth of S330 feet.
 The drillers finished setting the casing and started drilling on Wed nesday morning. At o'clock the well started flowing with strong gas pressure,a nd by noon all the storage tanks were filled and the well shut in to wait the pipe line pumpers to take care of the oil.
 The oil is 42 gravity paraffin base, the highest gravity oil yet found in the field The well has about 200 feet to go and will be completed in about 1G daystthrough the black lime to the pay sand.

TEXAS GLOBE O|L
 AND GAS CO. |S BARRED IN STATE

PHOENIX, Sept. 6.-The final chapter of the Texas Globe Oil and Gas company of pychic medium fame was written here late Saturday when the superior court handed down an order permanently dissolving the company and transferring all leases and holdings to the newly organized Texas World Oil and Gas company.
 This action by the court was the outcome of the investigation conduct ed by the Arizona corporation com mission in which sensational disclos, ures were made revealing methods of high finance which would have put Wallingford himself to shame. Thou sands of dollars worth of stock were sold all the way from 5 to 50 cents a share under methods which were branded as shady in the extreme.
 One of the principal witnesses in the original hearing was a psychic medium who admitted that she had assisted in the sale of stock by the recital of strange revelation, in which it was made to appear that she would accumulate untold wealth through speculation. In this strange vision the psychic was guided by the advice of departed spirit, who point ed out large gusher of oil which turned to gold in her lap as it fell to earth. The curiosity of many of those who heard this weird tale from the lips of the scholarly psychic was naturally aroused and when they asked for further particulars she re-

TOO MUCH OI[
 AT DESDEMONA

,DESDEMONA, Tex, Sept.F 6.-In spite of all that can be done it seems evident that the Desdemona pool is about to produce more oil than can be cared for. Piuelines are making every effort to increase the capacity of their lines so they can care for the new production. It is almost im- possible to get any more storage tanks to this field. There is immi- nent danger Of local over production, due to the intensive drilling on small sites that have been blocked up be- cause of the great demand for them. This will, of course, result in great wastes to the field.
 The Desdemona field is one of the greatest producing areas in the world and the oil operators, pipe line off cials and railroad commissioners are greatly concerned at the present out look for the pool The proven area covers about 3200 acres and, outside of the area in every direction are numerous wells producing from 50 to 400 barrels of oil daily.
 This once small country town now has a population of 10000 people and IS lIlCT6dSlIS 1dSJ.
 Machinery is being transported from the railroad station to the diff ferent localities by trucks and wagons at very rapid rate, owing to the few weeks of dry weather that have kept the roads in condition.
 With the exception of the 3S acres which is restricted from drilling, the townsite is practically covered with derricks and rigs, and on account of the large amount of gas in the air there is great danger of fire.
 It may develop that the Desdemona pool within a short time will surpass the Ranger district. The wells of this district have greater lasting quality than those of the Ranger field.
 It is evident that the deep sand re- gions of this state will be making large production for the next 20 years It is true, some wells which have come in in the Ranger field as large producers have slowly dwindled down until now they are producing but lit- tie, but on the other hand, some wells in the deep sand territories have in- creased their production. Considering the possibilities for additional pools and extensive inside drilling on big leases. it is easy to understand that the oil fields of Texas are likely to hold out for a number of years.

ferred them to officers and stock salesmen of the company.
 As the direct outcome of this hear. ing the tangled affairs of the Texas Globe were placed in the hands of receiver, and drilling operations of the company's we'll near Brady, Texas, were discontinued and the drilling equipment removed from that loca- tion.
 With the organization of the new concern an attempt will be made to resume drilling. The well is now down 920 feet, it is said, and the prospects are good that oil will be encountered at a shallow depth, as the hole is located in proven field
 Walter Wolf, prominent as one of the promoters of the old concern, and many of the other officers are not connected with the new concern, In fact only one, Harvey Hon, con nected with the old company, is off cially connected with the new. Under the provisions of the court order stock purchased at 20 cents will be exchanged on an equal basis for stock in the new concern, the par value of which is fixed at 20 cents share Those who paid ten cents a share for the oil stock will be entitled to only half the number of shares in the new and those who paid more than 20 cents will be en. titled to additional shares in the new concern to make up the difference. | Another clause of the order pro vides that stock in the new concern [ shall not be sold except on order Of | the corporation commission. Appli cation for the sale of stock in the Texas World was filed with the com mission today.
