EUREKA. Kan. Dec. 3. The
beautiful hills, slopes and valleys of
Greenwood county. far-famed ranch
and COW county produced some
thing in the last year besides beef
and farm products, Judging from a
report made on the county's oil
production for the last IL months,
compiled by A T. McColm, owner
OF the Scouts club here, an oil field
service covering all of Greenwood
county and the territory adjoining
Il on all sides.
For the year ended November I.
1922, the county and the territory
adjacent to 1t produced 379 CONNER
cial oil wells, with 12s dry holes. a
total OF sol compilations, McColm

fourth Of the number of wells
drilled.

Greenwood county wells alone
not counting those in adjacent ter
ritory-are now estimated 70 be
making upward of 1900 barrels OF
oil day--most OF It high gravity
production.
A year ago the Kansas City Refin-
ing combany ard Mission OIL COM
pany OF Kansas City went in with
Clarence Roth and william Faurot,
experienced operators on an unde-
veloped block of acreage northwest
OF Eureka near the northwestern
edge OF Greenwood county. The
territory surrounding the first test
was held entirely by those interests.
The first well was a 300-barrel initi-
al well OF good grade oil found about
1900 feet deep in 80 feet of sand.
The owners then started upon a
heavy but not immoderate drilling
campaign. They have completed 10
wells every one producer with out
put OF 1900 barrels a day. They
entirely control the pool, for oper-
ators who took acreage and drilled
wells as near as possible have In
every case met with failure.
The Marshall-Hill pool has been
opened by s. J. Polhamus and others

and Gas company, which Is an ex-

The SeeIey Pool Best7
The seeley pool promises to be
one OF the most prolific In the
county. 1t was found by Fisher
Lauck and Moore. These operators,
White Eagle, Johnson -Vickers, En-
pire and Phillips Elbing companies
now have excellent production from
the l,935-foot sand, which Is ir
some cases so feet thick. Location
is 523-11, also in the northwest
part OF the county.
The Brickett pool Is located south
west Of the Seeley pool, the geoiog.

except that sand is found deeper. II

scene of much development work.
The romance or a few mems de.
termination against bitter odds
brought about the discovery of the
Hardly Able pool in the northeast
city limits Of Eureka itself. Many

Ginnis and his associates started g

failures. Drilling was slow, in spite
of shortage OF money. In return fol
supplies and labor, they gave inter
ests in the well, and as drilling pro

creditors grew impatient and tht
