 Little Rock, May 26-Since Janu- ary 10, the day on which the first gusher was brought in at Fl Dorado, opening up new and marvellous oil field which has become the wonder of the age, there has been nied for re- cord at El Dorado total of 125 chart CTS of corporations of various kinds, most of which are for the develop ment of the oil industry. These cor porations have total capitalization of $12,618,000. The tremendous vol tune of business that has been com pressed into these four months is clearly shown by the fact that during the seventeen years preceding, there had been only 76 corporations of all kinds filed at Fl Dorado.
 The oil development program in Ar kansas continues to enlarge and oper- ations are active in Lawrence, Ne vada, Independence ond other coun- ties. At Prescott there is a great in- terest in tests that will determine the outcome of the Sutton-Bluff City and Blevins wells. In Independence coun- 1 ty there are active operations under way at the Adams well. The Butler well, spudded in last week, has been sunk to a little more than 200 feet The Cave City we'll in the north part of the county will spud in this week. In Lawrence county preparations are under way for test to be made soon and several new interests have mani fested themelves in the leasing of new areas. The Big Six Drilling company, operating near Cave City, will spud in during the week; the derrick is al- ready up. Leasing in this section con- tinues with prospect for a test on 1 the southside of the river. This should have the effect of bringing about much greater activity in Inde- pendence county during the next few months. Companies are also being formed to sink test wells on either side of the Boone and Newton county | line.
