The activities of the Day Oil

to be very interesting. EWeii No.

producing such a. volume of oil
that it is beyond control a good
part of the time. A 500 barrel
steel tank has been received and
placed onsthe lease, A location

barge equipment of ample capaci-

to secure all the product posi-
BILE from the Cumberland River
section.
Oil peopleiqeneralIy have had
cause to rejoice within the past
week over thef substantial ad-
vance in the price of crude. It
is not yet up to what it ought,
and in our opinion will, be at no
distant date, but an advance of
twenty cents per barrel is a good
starter, and it will have the ef-
feet of stimulating production
very materially, and it is the
firm belief of everyone posted in
the business that this advance is
only the beginning of the general
rise in prices until they have
reached the level prevailing at
the beginning of the year.
Mr.. o. C. Fink. one of our best
known local operators, is back
from a trip of inspection to the
Brush Creek field, and he is loud
in his praises of that section.
He has some acreage in that
territory on which he expects to
begin operations at no distant

ed a meeting of the Board of Di-

upon further operations of this
territory. 1t was decided to sus.
pend further operations on the
j. S. Royse farm, some three
miles out on the Stanford pike,
where they are now about down

account of their Star rigs, with
which they have been drilling

the hole down to the depth they
wish to go. They expect to have

tory and of getting good results
will not permit them to give up
until they have given it a
thorough test. Me. Palmer says
this territory has never as yet
had an intelligent test. al drill
ing having been stopped in the
shallow sands if they were en-
countered. They expect to move
the Star rig to another location
on some lease near by, and de-
velopment work will be prose-
cuted as usual while waiting on
the arrival of the ether rig.
Some very hard formations have
been encountered in the Royse
well, and it has taxed the rig to
the Limit, but with Suitable re-
pairs, now being made, it will
still do good work, but Mr.. Pal
mer believes in safety first" at
all times. Mr.. Palmer also says,
that to those who can combine
daring with persistency and at
the same time play safe, comes
the rich returRs chat inevitably
in the path of the oil production
of this country.
Mr.. T. Earl Williams, Burks-
wille, who has been for sometime
past a travelling salesman for a
wholesale grocery house, was IN
town during the past week and
gave out the information that he
had resigned his position so as to
be able to devote all his time to
the development and sale of his
oil and gas holdings in this terri
tory.
Mr.. G. A. Roy, Nlcholasyille,
KY. general manager of the
field affairs of the Roy petroleum
Company, writes that they have
not deserted Adair County, but
that they will resume operations
here soon in good shape. These
people own leases on consider
able acreage in Adair and they
have faith in it proving to be a
profitable field.
Somer set light crude oil, the
grade produced in this territory,
is now bringing $500 per barrel,
which is encouraging, but, judg-
ing from existing conditions, it
is safe to predict that the day is
not far distant when it will he
bringing at least double this
price. The question of prices is
simply one of supply and de-
mand. The demand for crude
oil ard its products is steadily
growing. and the supply of pro-
