is the estimate made by the conf
dental representatives OF oil con-
Germs for the Hickman, or western
Usage, district This estimate Is
based on actual figures as OF March
81, showing 224 completed wells
making an average production of
222,42 barrels daily, with 4 total
production of 4O,928 barrels The
production i'm the Hickman has in
creased at tho average rate OF 1900
barrels per week for the past eight
weeks and the official estimate
status that. with the number OF wells
nearing completion and drilling, the
field should Keep up this average
weekly Increase Tor the next four
months al least. or a total OF &c
weeks at 1,2O0 barrels increase per
week.
At the present time In the IIIclt-
man there are 1S1 drilling wells,
about 80 new rigs and about p new
locations. In making a number Of in
sido locations the past week CHE
first 20 be made In the field, the
Prairie oil x Gas CO. realizes the
value Of the flush production and
Is going after Il. Itsis learned also
that the Carter Oil company, one
Of the important operators In that
field, will maze all its inside locu-
tions at once. Naturally all the
other companies will follow suit
Figuring, therefore. the present
drilling wells, rigs and locations, the
new wells 10 be started on inside To-
cations and the limo wells that will
be drilled for protection, there
should be fully coo completed wells
by September /.
Evidently the various companies
operating in the western Usage are
starting a period OF storage tank
buildings Skelly-Philllps are going
TO erect two $1,000 barrel tanks in
the southwest Of 25-27-5e. The Gulf
Pipeline Co. has two $4,000 tankst
that arc being used as working
tanks, the Cosden Pipeline COM
pany has one 90, 900 tank that Is now
filled with crude up to about IS
feet and another Of the same size
will he completed the coming wee,S.
The Prairie had one 55,000-barrel
working tank in the field.
The Kay County Gas company

The Sinclair Pipeline company
2,525 barrels. the Prairie 7225 bar
rolls the Gulf 11,725 barrels, the
Cosdon S,540 and the Oklahoma
Pipeline company 9,0SO barrels. The
Sinclair company has recently added
a steam system OF two boilers and
two 1sN4XlS Fairbanks pumps to it's

has been watched with great inter
est by all companies. and there has
been a multitude of scouts on the
job. Tho lime was penetrated at
about ISIS feet and the top OF what
should have been the Hickman sand
at 2,92i feet, continuing to 2,932
feet, then a broken formation of
slate, sand and lime mostly slate
to 1910 feet, then into black slate.
The test Is drilling at 2,99O feet
and should get the Mississippi lime
at between 5000 and 5000 feet. II
is Peters intention 10 60 ahead
with an S-inch hole into the lime
either to producing sand or hole

and make a deep test. The sand en-
countored at 2,924-32 feet was not
more than so per cent oil sand, the
( balance being greenish shale; from
| 2 932-70 feet the formation was not
more than 10 TO IL per cent sand.
This was undoubtedly the Hickman
sand or where II should be. Several
other companies including the Mar
