Chase County. Kansas.

Since the recent discovery by the
Empire company of its big well in
23-9. in the northwest corner of
Greenwood county. the territory TO
the north over In Chase county is re-
ceiving the big play In that state.
This particular well in question
was reported as starting off at a
900 barrel clip but later report says
IL has settled down into the 1000
barrel class. However, this is some
thing that operators could not be
expected to overlook, as it was
known that the Empire well had 100
feet of genuine oil sand, something
out OF the ordinary for that state. In
this same locality they are beginning
to open 5000, 900 to 10000, ,OO0-foot
gas wells, the gas being struck about
zoo feet above the oil bearing sands,
and this fact seems to make 1t the
best discovery recorded in that state
for many months past.
The new field is so close TO the
Chase county line that 1t was natural
| for the big companies and indepcnd-
| ent operators to go after leases over
| the line in that county and today nc
| less than a dozen wells are about
to be started, The price OF leases Il
| high and acreage in big demand, anc
will probably continue 30 until th'
territory Is tied up and drilled.
Some OF the operations under wal
are as follows: In 2l-21-9 Bartles
vile operators have secured severa
thousand acres and are rigging M
for a deep well. which will probabl'
be drilling within the next 10 days
This we'll will be straight north o
the Empire well.
Tho Marland Refining compan,
has spent in the neiehhorhood o
81 ,OO0. 900 for leases In the centra
part OF the county, and are prepar
ing for an active drilling campaign

COME as much of an interstate
question as the river beds which sep

almost led to war on numerous oc-

The Constantln we'll in Arkansas is

dorado and while technically speak
| ing the well itself Is shut in and is
not burning. there is however, a
| great number of geyscrs which have
' broken out at great distances from
, the well and these in some instances
| are on fire. caused by the curiosity
| OF some OF the natives to find out
| whether or not the rumor that this
gas would not burn were true.
Recently while a party OF eight or
10 persons were near the we'll, after
having been cautioned to stay away
one of the aforesaid smart boys IN
match as aforesaid, and SO far
there are four deaths and of course
the Constantin company Will be
