MAP OF HEWITT FIELD, RE-
NISED TO NOVEMBER |, 1920,
COMPLETED BY BUREAU
Or MINES B.ARTLESVILLE

y revised edition of map Of the
Hewitt field has recently been pub
ished by the petroleum station of the
United States Bureau of Mines at
Bartesville, Okla. These maps are
drawn to scale of l inch equals
1000 feet, and show locations of all
rigs, drilling wells, producing wells
and abandoned holes in township
south, range west, up to date of
November !. 1920. In addition. derrick
floor elevations for every rig, and
well in the Hewitt field are given.
These were run by Bureau engineers
and are accurate, within one foot. In
addition, other information such as
drainage, location Of tank farms,
towns, etc, is shown. While the les
or and lessee data is correct in most
cases, no effort was made to accur-
ately revise that information because
of the constant changing of ownership
through sale of lease. The map also
shows the geological structure contours
on the Hewitt sand. The map is the
result of careful work of the Bureau
of Mines engineers.
These maps may be obtained from
the Bartlesville Chamber of Com
merce upon application accompanied
by postal or express money order or
check for 35 cents for each copy.
Because of the present state of the
public funds allotted to the Bartles-
vile station, a large issuance of these
maps without charge was out of the
question. However, the Bureau rea-
lized the prime importance to the in
dustry of issuing maps without delay
and therefore appealed TO the Bartles-
vile Chamber of Commerce to help
it out If possible, the chamber always
has had direct and warm interest
in the work of the station. even TO
the extent of cooperating assistance
in a monetary way. The Bartlesville
Chamber, appreciating the situation,
and in its usual helpful way, agreed
readily to take charge of the maps.
In this way. the Bureau of Mines
contributes its technical service and
the Chamber of Commerce makes 1t
possible for the maps to reach the

ARDMORE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. MAY PUBLISH
REPORT or BUREAU OF
MINES ON HEWITT FIELD

Errctt Dunlap chairman OF the oil
and refining committee, and James
Barron, secretary, both Of the Ard
more Chamber of Commerce, have writ
ten request to the United States
Bureau Of Mines, asking that the
local Chamber Of Commerce be per-
lnitted to have the manuscript of the
report of the government engineers
on the Hewitt field, which Is new
being compiled by the bureau as a
result of Il seven months investiga-
tion of operations in that territory,
I. T.. Swigart, assistant chief tech
nologist of the bureau, expects to
have the report completed in about
two weeks. Mr.. Swigart was one of
the engineers who personally investi-
gated operations in Hewitt, together
with f.. y. Schwarzcnbek, also petro-
leum engineer with the United States
Bureau of Mines.
lt is the plan Of the local Chamber
of Commerce to publish the report as
Z bulletin ana distribute the printed
reports through the Chamber Of
Commerce.
1t was through the local Chamber
Of Commerce that the bureau engi-
necrs were enabled to secure data
IN the Hewitt field. Through it, the
bureau was provided by local
office, financially aided, and other
! wise co-operated with.
As rule bulletins Of this charac-
;er are published through the gov
ernment offices at Washington, and Il
year or more would pass before the
pamphlets would be ready for dis
4 nlribution, thus losing the greatest
part of their value to oil men operat-
ing and interested in the field, before
these men could gain advantage OF
the many instructive criticisms, etc,
contained in the report. If the
chamber is successful in gaining the
consent Of the bureau to publish tho
bulletin through the Ardmore Cham
Der of Commerce 1t will mean that
he reports will reach the oil men al

viii be saved, and much valuable in
formation gained advantageously.

Summer School.
The State superintendent of Public
Instruction. Albert S. Cook, and
twelve of the County Superintendents
besides Mr. Fox, took the course,
which Mr. Fox says was most help
full and beneficial
rgt WAS hard work said Supt.
Fox, when talking about the summer
school this morning.
I'VE had five hours work every
day, pretty full day, but it was
most helpful, and feel that l never
have derived so much benefit from
any thing previous"
The summer school course for
school superintendent was conduct
ed by DIR. George Melchner, of Kan
sas City, Mo-, one of the most able
educators of the day.
At the summer school plans were
made FOR statewide survey of all
schools, to be directed by State Su-

all county superintendents will CO.
operate.
1t is proposed in this manner to
ascertain just where the pupils stand
and what advancement they are max
ing. When asked this morning con-
corning the several vacancies in the
local schools, Superintendent Fox
said he has many applications to fill
vacancies, and anticipates no diff
Guilty in finding teachers enough for
the Annapolis schools. Many of the
old teachers who gave up teaching
are again applying for schools.
There may be some difficulty IN
filing some of the county schools,
early in the fall, but. even this is
expected to be obviated.

GOVERNOR PLANS TO
TAKE A VACATION
And In The Meantime Appoint
ments He Has To Make
Will Wait Awhile
EMPLOYMENT UREAU

Governor Ritchie is seeking an arm
istice with the job hunters for the
present. He stated today that, hav-
ing got rid of the Racing Commission
problem, he will take vacation for a
while, in so far as the duties deal with
appointments He has only two i'm
portant salaried positions to fill, there
is no need for filling them at once, lad
he distinctly is not in a hurry about
them One of the places is the En-
ployment Commissioner, who will ad-
minister the Merit System law, and
the other is the Central Purchasing
Agent
Both offices are created under laws
which will go into effect on October l,
and while some time for preliminary
arrangements will be needed by those
appointed, no action need be taken for
two months, and there still would be
a short period in which the appointees
could look around before October 1.
The Governor has a grateful under
standing of this situation, and he is
doing no more now than occasionally
to ask a question of some one about
who would fit the jobs.
Generally. when the Governors
questions are answered, his face
shows no sign whatever of the i'm
preston made on his mind, although
he did permit a vestige of surprised
look to spread few days ago, when
in answer to a question as to who
would make a good Employment
Agent, the name of a well-known Re-
publican lawyer was mentioned. The
Governor seems to have it fixed indefi-
nitely in his head that his admins
tration is an administration for DEM
ocrats.
In addition to filling these two
places the Governor has several un-
paid commissions to name. which he
can do at his leisure. One is the
commission to study the situation of
the Maryland miners. The law that
was put through the last Legisla-
ture, after the defeat OF the Miners
bill. calls for commission of three
~ one TO represent the miners,
one to study industrial and welfare of
