Oil Market Quotations
"OIL MEN EVERYWHERE
HAVE OPTIMISTIC VIEW AND
SPIRIT" STATES ). w. JONfE

s. ". Jonte, with the Sun Company,
has returned to this city after q three
weeks "trip through the fields of Louis
dana, Arkansas and Texas. Mr.. Jonte
states that conditions appear to be in
fair shape everywhere.
Mr.. Jonte states that the most i'm
portant development which he observed
4 during his trip was the Smitherman
we'll at Haynesville, La, four miles
from the Arkansas line. with a reported
production Of 5000 barrels from a sand
found at depth of 2S55 feet and which
was drilled so feet in. This well is a
rank wildcat brought in by Shreveport
people. and the nearest production is in
the Homer field, which is II miles
southeast. The operators of the Smith
erman well are said to own a block OF
more than 10000 acres. Mr.. Jontc
states that there are five or six new
rigs being built about the Smitherman
discovery we'll Many new locations
have been made. Representatives OF
all the big companies are on the ground
and according 10 reports, they are try
Ing to buy out the Smitherman people
The Smitherman holdings arc in "a
sections in townships 23-S; in l-22-S;
and in 1913.
The Louisiana Oil and Refining Com
pany, states Mr.. Jonte, is completing
a pipe line from Homer to the well and
the Standard of Louisiana is said to bf
contemplating the construction Of
lateral from its HomerEl Dorado main
line.
Another important development which
Mr.. Jonte noted was the finding of th'
deep pay sand at Pine Island, La, II
the old field. The sand, which wa
found at q depth of $500 feet Is as higl
as 10 gravity. one yAell drilled to th'
sand. states Mr.. Jonte, Is producing
l4OO barrels and all Indications arr
that many more wells will be drilled
to It. The thickness OF the deep sant
has not been determined as yet as l
has not been drilled through. Th
average depth Of the sands found II
the field heretofore was about 22OO-2SOl
feet.
Mr.. Jonte states that the III Dorado
field Is booming. Its present daily pro
duction reaches $4,000 barrels. Man,
wells are drilling. Operations are nov
being carried on there in fine manne
and the water troubles which were ex
perienced when the field was first dis
covered have been eliminated by mean
of Improved drilling methods.
All the operators throughout the ter
ritory which he visited, states Mr.. JOINT
are divided in their opinion as to whel
market conditions will regain normal
''They all have an optimistic view an
spirit" says Mr.. Jonte.
