To- say regarding the breckenridge
district The Breckenridge pool
was one district that was passed up
nN the big companies. a. they
thought 1t would turn out Ike the
btsdcmuua and Ranger fields.
as the production came from the
limo Tho same as IN the other fields.
however they were certainly wrong
as tho Breckenridge field has about
forty TO fifty foot Of pay sand. with
formations running about 100 feet
thick. and tAe production is holding
up remarkably we'll a. PRODUCERS
nat came I'm last OctQbcr for aO0O
barrels are sili making between
I2O0 and 1900 barrels. Tho upcr-
ators of the field are almost entirely
shut down, and there are now 80
wells shut down on top OF the sand.
The Walker Perkins well, which
came In last week and was reported
rs good FOR - high as 10000 bar
rolls per day, actually made between
LOCO ana 1900 barrels Of oil. This
well will not have any effect Of the
offset wells, as II is the ease down
there that big wells do not effect
the offsets Tho Breckenridge pool.
80 far, II absolutely outlined with
dry holes on all stdeB. and IL is
only the inside drilling that can
possibly effect the market hereafter.
The Humble Pipe Line company is
paying 81 per barrel for all the
oil that goes into its lines az ls
also the Magnolia Petroleum COM
pany, and the Texas company *
getting along nicely running all the
oil and paying for half OF It. Among
the Tulsa men who have been sue
ccssful IN the Breckenridge field
can be named j. p. Straughn. an
old friend OF W. II. Gray; The L.iv-
ingston oil corporation; Snowaen a
sweeney; Charles ROsser: I.add
Harmon, Paul KonZ, and "a few oth-
ers, and Il looks Ike the Tulsans
we're as conservative as the pipe
lines and stald away from the
field on account OF the limo formn-
tions.' The above coming from
Mr.. Knight, who has always had
the reputation as being the best and
fastest drillcr in the mldcontincnt
ll'l't Nlll'' MS plN IhlkAth - "a
Prosser died, will bu of great inter
est to oil men here. There is no
disposition on the part of Mr..
knight to cNaggerate the situation.
but on tho contrary, he is perfectly
willing to cooperate with oil pro-
duCcrs in the midcuntinent field to
bring about better price for oil,
HIS has two wells on top Of the sand
that will only be drilled In when
the market IL better, unless forced
TO do so. Mr. Knight is taking W.
K. Burncs, the gasoline expert, back
with him to Breckenridge, and viii
have the gas given "a thorough test
for gasoline and If II tests out rich
enough, may put in a plant.
George f. Brigham. representing
the North American Car company
in Tulsa is receiving many strong let
tors OF endorsement in regard to
tho new terminal facilities cstab-
lished at Blue Island inside OF the
Chicago switching limits by his con-
Cern. The yards are SO large that
the company is taking IN and stOr-
ing cars i'm addition TO the cars used
by rctinCrs in the midContinent field
that have been leased by this firm.
II is a brand new idea, and tho
BighamS are entitled to credit FOR
having initiated this service. IL
puts the Independent reflners in IA
good a position as any of the big
concerns that own their own track
age, and is a real genuine innova
ton that means much good for the
Independent industry. Just to show
that this service Is appreciated, re-
finers and markctcrs should call
up the nearest office Of the North
American Tank car company, and
arrancn for this serNiCn. II NNill
