OPPORTUNITY To
LAND OIL Tests
REQUIRES ACTION
This Is Statement Of R. F. Thweatt,
Chairman Of Soliciting Commit
tee on Three.Way Local
Syndicate.

If Chickasha business men fail
to support the proposed syndicate
providing for the drilling by ]. b.
Nichlos Of three tests near Chick
asha to 5000 feet each, unless oil or
gas in paying quantities are found
at lesser depths, the opportunity
for three such tests will forever be
gone, r. f. Thweatt chairman Of the
soliciting committee stated this
morning.
"The Chickasha territory has two
dry holes at $500 feet said Mr.
Thweatt I've don't want any more
dry ones at that depth to condemn
our territory Geoligists have given
as their opinion that in this immedi-
ate territory a test is not a real test
unless it is drilled to a depth of
1900 feet. Therefore | cannot see
why Chickasha business men and
property owners will not come in to
support this proposition. They are
coming in, it is true, but it is slow
work. The committee has raised
about $4,000 on the 22,500 PROPOSE
tion. We must get the rest of the
money some way.
"The proposition Of Mr.. Nichlos
gives the syndicate $50 acres around
the well that is now being drilled
east of the city on the Beauchamp
farm. That's at the rate of $40 an
acre and we get an offset of 90
acres. It's not a donation proposition.
We are getting a run for our money
In addition to the Is acres at the
present well, we get one-third
interest in a we'll to be drilled as
an offset to the Harness producer
There is every reason to believe
that that would be a paying we'll
We also get one-third undivided
interest in all acreage secured in
the Harness territory In addition
we get 75o acres. inclding an offset
of 80 acres to the third well to be
drilled, south and west of the we'll
which is now drilling. That's at the
rate of $40 an acre, and we don't
have to pay this money to Mr. Mich
los unless he drills any well to a
depth of 5000 feet or bring in a
commercial well.
Prompt action is necessary. The
present WELL east of town. is about
2,200 feet deep. Mr.. Nichlos is drill
ing on a $500 contract. If ne drills
to the depth and gets nothing we
have another 800 foot dry. hQla. 10

To Ben Hooper, spokesman for
President Harding on the board is
given the credit for averting the

The calling off of the rail strike
occurred as result of a meeting
last night between members of the
rail labor board and brotherhood
chiefs Statements issued by brother
hood chiefs after the meeting were
to the effect that they saw that
public opinion was against the strike
and that the government forces
were aligned against walkout.
Leaders of the switchmen, train.
men, conductors, engineers and fire
3men concurred unanimously in the
decision to call off the strike. The
official wording of the resolution
was that "the strike be declared

Regarding the action, l.. E. Shap-
