GOOD REPORTS FROM
I[l|PAH OIL FIELD

Several matters of Importance de-
veloped at the meeting of directors of
the Illipah Petroleum Company held
here yesterday. first of which was a
resolution passed that the company
shall acquire 224O additional acres in
the Illipah basin which embrace prac-
tically all asphaltum beds and ex-
posed oil formations. said to contain
the heart of the best land in the en-.
tire basin.
The report of Manager Amenda was
that the drill had passed the 401-foot
mark last Saturday morning and at
that depth had gotten into oil sand.
The well is cased with ten-inch steel
casing and is ready for a flow of oil
at any time. He reports that this is
the only company in the field upon
which full value insurance is carried
on camp, drills, ETC., and that the en-
tire interest of the field is centered
on operations of his company.
Amenda reported oil indications are
such that the field is removed from
speculation and that depth is the only
remaining factor in the development
of commercial oil.
His report also included an analy-
sis Of the gas flowing from the we'll,
which analysis was made at the state
university at Reno and shows it to
be saturated with hydrocarbon gas
to the extent Of 55.7 per cent and con-
tains nitrogen to 37.2 per cent This
analysis, he reported, is duplicated
only in the oil fields of Lima, Indiana,
Oklahoma and Teaxs. Oil from the
balings shows asphaltum base and in
the instances named wells were
brought in in gusher form.
Upon the showing the directors de-
cided to continue sale of present
allotment of $4,000 shares at ten
cents and thereafter to increase the
price to fifteen cents per share

CHIEF APPEALS FOR
FIRE PREVENTION
SATURDAY TO BE FIRE PREYEN-
TI0N DAY AND CHIEF GILLIAN
OFFERS GOOD SUGGESTIONS
FOR LOCAL OBSERVANCE

Now that the winter is about to
set in and everyone will soon be
starting to keep fires in their homes,
as well as places of business, schools
and places of amusement, would
suggest that all concerned should
examine thoroughly their stoves,
stovepipes, roof safeties and Chin
neys before starting their winter
fires.
1t will be to everyone's interest
to do these things beforehand, and
will undoubtedly be the means of
saving thousands of dollars worth of
property and possibly lives. 1t may
save you from being aroused from
peaceful slumber some cold, stormy
night and find your house in flames
with barely time enough to get out
into the street and watch things that
are near and dear to you go up in
smoke.
An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, and today the whole
United States and Canada are play
ing the fire prevention game, and /
can assure you they are playing It in
dead earnest. because it is doing more
to save lives and valuable property,
both real and personal, than all the
fire departments could ever dream or
hope to do.
desire to impress upon you the
Importance of fire prevention by tell
ing you to go over your houses, cell
lars, garrets. garages and clean up
everything that looks like a fire haz-
ard. Also have your electric wiring
inspected by seeing that there are no
naked or broken wires or insulators
or anything lying across the wires
that might cause short circuit. If
you do this you will be the winner
and profit by the same. If you need
any information, or we can help you
in any way, let us know, as we are
always willing and ready to help pre-
vent fires at all times.
October is our National Fire Pre-
vention day-the day set aside when
the whole nation looks over its prem
ises and gives things general clean
up before winter sets in. Our record
for the past year has been fair, but
we can do better, and know we will
do better. Let's Go.
Yours very truly,
BEN GILLIAN,
Chief Fire Dept.
