well held UP fairly well for the time
being, hut then declined rapidly and
was not 10 be compared 10 making
the money that tho large wells ut
Gushing did. Since tho completion
uf tho AleH well nothing anywhere
near SIS Sizs has been developed in
he Bristow district but several
nave made better than five thou
aand barrels on initial appearance,
While during the first week ot De-
.ember the year Just past, the RO-
tnud OH company finished n second
well that stnrted of ct 200 barrels
hourly In July tho Wilcox on &
GAS CO. finished we'll with an
initial production Of 5000 barrels,
vhile tho Garter oil company, IN
No. cat. had ono that started Off
in excess OF 5000 barrels daily. Ad-
dit!oual operations ala not show any
wells Of any special slze, although
something in tho way OF large wells
can still be expected.
In addition TO tho large well that
was developed In the Bristuw area,
several others that showed an in
itial production OF better than six
thousand barrels. with a fairly good
five thousand barrels. wero found
during tho year Just closed. but they
arc not given Those who predicted
that this state had reached It's high
level have been more than convinced
that this area IL still capable OF pro-
ducing wells OF large sizes and there
viii bo numerous new pools and
large wells added before the final
curtain n runR down on oil opera
tionq In oklahoma
Although oklahoma has just
Il J. us.tf
in tho amount OF oil produced for
one period. 10 is very likely that tho
present year will not provo so large
unless some pools OF great magni-
ude are uncovered, as at the pres
ent rate OF consumption and the de-
clining production the oil man will
have 20 look elsewhere FOR his
supply

Although the Gushing pool lost
It's laurcls as having the largest
producer ever finished in oklahoma,
It still retains one ToCord--that In
having the largest number OF gusher
wells ever completed within one dis
trict, This development first came
into prominence i'm 1913. when the
Prairie oil a. Gas co. drilled IN tho
first Bartiesville sander on the Fred
Tucker farm In 3-17-7. The pro-
ductlon OF the pool from then on
ntcadly increased and during 1914
this wonderful area was credited
with n production OF 47,222,250 bar
rels. In the following year the oil
produced was 70,704,s54 barrels,
nearly double tho output OF the pre-
ceding year.
This pool, then at its height,
caused an almost complete shut
down in the other districts and was
the factor causing credit balances
to be lowered TO 40 cents and even
lower per barrel At this time the
pool produced In excess OF two hum
dred thousand barrels daily for the
first seven months of tho year,
reaching at one time nearly three
hundred thousand barrels daily
on both sides OF tho Cimarron river
In the northern pool, wells of an
enormous size were brought IN and
tho pool heightened until 1t covered
10 miles in length by half as many
in width and covered approximately
$4,000 acres. After the development
in the Bartlesville sand started to
decrease and the production de-
cllned, the Tucker formation was
found and II was in this stratum
that the second largest we'll in Okla
homa was struck.
This we'll belonged 20 the Gypsy
oil company and Frank Gillespie,
