McQUIGG WRITES
OF PROSPECTS IN LIBERAL

The Democrat is in receipt of the
latest prospectus of the American
Fuel Oil & Transportation company
which company owns practically the
entire stock of the Traders Oil Corp
Grafton which drilled the test on the
Boles farm west of Liberal and which
came in a few weeks ago as a ten
million foot gas well.
The prospectus gives some inter-
esting information concerning the
prospects as effect the Liberal well.
A part of the prospectus is letter
written by President M. V. Nc
Quigg of the American Fuel, Oil &
Transportation Company, in which
Mr.. McQuigg says concerning the
Kansas properties of the company:
"The Kansas property has proven
beyond my expectations. Our new
well, five miles west of Liberal, Kas.,
and situated centrally on our hold
ings, has come in with the initial flow
of ten million cubic feet of gas
daily, the gauge standing at 625
pounds pressure per square inch.
The gas is extremely rich in Case
line content, and | estimate a high
recovery.
"The Geology has been proven to
be ideal throughout the whole depth
of the well, about 27O0 feet, and as
the gas has been encountered at the
top of the sands, | am confident
that greater depth will bring in an
oil we'll of great capacity.
This earnest belief is given further
credence by the fact that such quail
ity Of gas has in my experience al
ways been associated with oil.
This should be pleasing news to
the people of Liberal especially those
who have been suffering from severe
cases of "cold feet over the oil sit
uation.
The fact the present well will
produce great quantities of gas
oline makes the success of the Lib
eral field a certainty With the
present shortage of gasoline and the
consequent hike in price which is
bound to come soon a well of this
will be a good proposition.
There is much speculation as to
the condition of the we'll at this time
and a lot of people imagine the well
is "blowed up" Especially is this
true to those inclined to look upon
the gloomy side of things, as we'll as
those who knew there was nothing
here and were disappointed when the
we'll came in.
After talking to three biologists,
all of whom are working for big COM
panies, we learn that the presence
of water in the well is not in the
least discouraging but is a frequent
occurrence in drilling deep tests.
When the casing arrives the water
will be shut off and drilling will pro-
coed and the different members of
the company who have watched the
progress of the work all prophesy an
oiler.
The Democrat is afraid that Lib
eral is sleeping on her rights. At
this time the town could be receiv-
ing a lot of good advertising from
this test as well as the many others
being made and to be made.
Interest should not be allowed to
lag. The world should be told of the
development going on here and

A REAL TREAT

The Democrat received real
treat Monday afternoon when Mrs.
Paul W. Light brought a bucket of
fresh homegrown strawberries.
Mrs. Light is a strawberry special
list and is having unusual success this
year, the berries being of especially
fine quality.
The Light home west of the city is
a model of neatness, one of the finest
in the west, and the spacious grounds
are devoted to various small crops,
ne of the most important of which
i sthe strawberry beds, and regard
less of the season these produce the
finest fruit imaginable.
Mrs. Light has our thanks for the
treat.
