Scouts FIocklng Here.
Yesterday afternoon, someone with
q hammer, started the word that the
oil scouts who had been here were
leaving and that there had really
been little trading.
If anyone is inclined to think
along these lines, let him stroll down
by any of the leading hotels and
watch. Let him go to the various
offices where the oil deals are con-
summated and take a squint at the
activity.
There are more scouts, producers.
lease men, contractors in the city
this morning from wider range OF
country than at any time since the
we'll came in. A veteran scout, who
has been "on" every wildcat well
tanned in the southwest in the past
decade, stated this morning that
there are more real scouts and big
oil men here watching the well than
he has seen on wildcat in the
southwest since the days of the
Healdton strike.
