More Development Coming.
The steadily growing activity in
Grady is attracting other operators
and there are at times no less than
half a dozen new locations and rigs
to add to the given total. The first
of the new ones to get into the hunt
for oil here, come as result of the
pay well brought in by the Knox Pc
troleum company. This company has
a rig up for its No. 2 well to be
drilled just north and west of the
first location. The Gorton Trust,

field has rig up in the Knox terri,
tory for test. Tools are to be
moved in and operations started in
the near future.
This, in reality brings the num-
ber of operating wells to nine plus

there are four or five known blocks
of acreage where wells are to be
drilled in the coming year. One OF

YEAR 1920 SEES OPENING OF REAL HUNT FOR BIG
OIL POOLIN GRADY COUNTY, ONE PRODUCER GIVES
COUNTY FIRST OIL; MANY WELLS ARE DRILLING

vTHE year 1920 has seen the great
est activity ever displayed by
the wildcatters in Grady county,
nine wells have been put under way
during the year, there being two
completions. One of these is pro-
ducer of oil and break in of salt
water ruined the chances of making
an oil we'll out of the other finished
well. This leaves seven wells operat-
ing and with as many verdicts hang
ing in the balance.
Two or three times during the
past five years, efforts have been
made to start drilling campaign
in Grady county, but up to 1920, the
operations were not taken seriously.
The oil men, however have now
started what seems to be a system
attic and thorough search for oil in
Grady and in their hunt the wells
have been scattered to practically
all sections of the county, insuring
the test CT a wide range of terri
tory.

producer Of oil. 1t was that of the
Knox Petroleum company, on the
Shook farm in the southwest of the
southwest of SECTION 1853. In pure
ly wildcat territory, it was, after a
years work, drilled into the pay
sand at 2440 feet last fall There was
no gas, but the we'll rapidly filled
with oil, the fluid coming to a
standstill with about 1000 feet of it
in the hole. The operators were
troubled with a break in of water,
but the well has settled to about a
so barrel producer.
The next we'll to be drilled in,
was that of the Cosmos Petroleum
company finished few weeks ago
on the Hair farm in section 22-3-S.
At 2440 feet, the same depth as the
Knzx we'll, they struck sand. The
tools were changed from rotary to
standard and they drilled into this
sand. 1t proved to be stray and
did not produce sufficient oil to pay.
They went on to depth of 1865
where they were delayed by cavings.
Oil showed again at that depth and
they set liner to cut off the caves.

With this dose they drilled a few
feet and broke into a heavy flow OF
salt water, forcing them to abandon
the hole.
The Other Wells.
The other operating wells are:
The Tuttle Oil and Gas company in
section 1895; the English Drilling
company in section 15-5-7; the
Gladys Belle Oil and Gas company in
section 9-4-7; the Cannon Drilling
company in section 2-4-5 the Unity
Oil company in section 1885; Vance
Brothers in section 1863 and the
Alexander Drilling company in Sec
ton 35-4-7.
The description of these locations
show that they are scattered to
practically every district in the en-.
tire county. They are at various
depth, the Tuttle Oil company being
probably the deepest of the lot at
around 1900 feet and expecting, from
their geological reports to pick ur
sand at around 1900 to 1000. The
next deepest is the Cannon Drilling
company at slightly below 1900. The

other is near Tabler, another near

of Chickasha. There are persistent
rumors of test southwest of Poe
caset and another southeast, while
ii is reported that two more rigs
are to be moved into the Tuttle dis

known definitely, but owing to the
completion of only tentative con
tracts, they are not ready for defin-

Interest is far more intense and
with the ever increasing activity in

Chamber Commerce Members Form

Rats and how to kill EN-.

kats ana now 10 XIII en-.
That's the subject that is claim
ing the attention of number of
Chamber of Commerce members as
a general drive, with the eradica.
tion of the rodent in Chickasha as
the object, is being formed in detail.
AT a meeting of Chamber of Com
merce members, grain dealers, groc-
ers and other business men discuss.
cd the rat menace and told of the
damage that Ia done daily by the rat
family in Chickasha. One man
wholesale grocer estimated that rats
damaged certain merchandise In his
establishment from SIS to $25 in
single night. Another man. owner of
a seed store told OF colony OF rats
moving in on his place one night
and eating an entire bushol OF fine
seed corn. Hundreds and probably
more than thousand dollars damn
age every day is done by the rats
In this city, was the estimate of the
business men. In addition, it was
shown that rodents are carriers of
disease and being such are a men
ace to the health of the city.
Plans are taking form which will
call for a general drive against the
rats and mice of Chickasha. 1t is
expected that the drive will start
about January TO- when every bust
ness firm, office and residence in
the city will be expected to have
out a supply of rat poison of some
description. The driHs according to
present plans will run for ten days
or more and it Is expected at the
end of that time, there will be a
dearth of rodents and their kin ir
Chickasha.
Some claim that rats, being wary
creatures will move the entire colony
when a pestience or plague break
out among them in given locality
and it is the purpose of the Cham
ber Of Commerce officials to see that
some sort of critical a!ment gets
wide circulation among the tribe
here.
One Clickasha man says to take
calomel lin powdered form) and mix
with small amount of corn meal.
and place in a convenient place, and
place near it pan of water, and
that the rats will eat the meal and
calomel and will soon begin to lock
for the water, and after a full sup
ply of this will soon find that their
death Is near. 1t is said to be a sure
shot. 1t has been found very effec-
tive eradicator wherever used. One
good feature about this is, that dogs
and cats are not liable to cat this
mixture and lessons the danger
sometimes caused by the use Of
pcisons.
