Approximate Production.

$500 barrels daily covered the
county TO date. while another repre-
sentative Of one Of tho most success
ful operating companies who covers
central Kansas pretty thoroughly
thinks about $50 to 300 pro-
the county and that the daily pro-
duction is right around 1900

estimate would be ESQ wells max
ing 1900 barrels 4 day, or n daily
average pCr well OF 40 barrels To
sum marize. ~ may be stated that In
most OF the II pools having direct
geographical boundaries and ac-
copied names the initial production
of most OF the wells is right around
two hundred barrels and most OF the
oil marketed ranges from 3S degrees
to ~ degrees, with two good wells
making 81 gravity oil.
The Roth. paulhamus, Burkett,
Secley and Sallyards pools are cred
tied with being Bartlesvlllc sand
producers. perhaps the only dubious
feature OF this contention being the
absence Of gas that is 30 uniformly

Greenwood county ia traversed by
this Nerdigris river, which heads In
the northeast corner of the county
near the TeeteI pool. and FaA river
and its tributaries Most everybody
In the oil business knows how pools
OF oil have been developed all along
the Ncrdigris river from its source
TO its confluence with the Arkan-
sas river near Muskogec, Okla, like
the NeoshO river to the tast and
the Elk and Cnney rivers to the
wCst-they are certainly oily
streams. The watersheds between
these streams traverse the country
quite uniformly from north to south,
with slight southwest trend In
places, and It Is along the slopes
OF these ranges Of hills that crude
petroleum. has found its resting
place. sometimes along the strcanA
bottoms, sometimes on the second
bottoms or bench lands and along
the middle and upper slopes and on
the high points.
It les noticeable that only three
or four OF the big produc ng com
panles are active in Greenwood
county the Mid-Kansas oil & Gas
Co, the Empire Gas & Fuel Co.,
Tidal oil company, and Phillips Pc
troleum corporation being about all.
except that the Skelly oil company's
refining subsidiary midland Rein
