said they couldn't grant all the de-

would Just grant the increase in

OIL LEASING ACTIVE AGAIN
in THE ARCADIA TERRITORY

The past few days bring to the
minds of Arcadians memories Of a
couple Of years ago, when our town
was alive with men leasing land for
prospecting purposes. Time and again
the Arcadia territory has been pro.
nounced good by visiting geologist, and
their faith in the territory is further
manifested by the fact that drilling
continues.
The fact that an oil we'll cannot
be drilled for the small sum Of
few hundred dollars is sufficient evi
dence that people do not drill them
just for the excitement they get out
OF spending their money. A prospector
for oil, if reliable at all, must have
some faith in the possibility Of max.
luS u discovery.
1t is seldom if ever you hear Of a
big company like the Stanard or Gulf
Wildcating Almost without exception
they depend upon the small fellow to
prove the territory. However, they al.
ways get in on the leasing. Many times
this accounts for ono or two wells
being drilled and then the abandonment
Of the territory. The cost Of securing
the land, proving the titles, drilling
one or two wells, etc., represents an
expenditure of small fortune.
A little company cannot stand the
strain, especially in wildcat territory.
Prospecting To Continue North OF
A contract has been signed by Capt
Carter, of New Orleans, for the drill
ing of two wells, both to be located
on the James tract north Of Arcadia.
1t was reported this (Thursday)
morning that piping is being hauled
| to one Of the locations to be in readi.
ness when actual drilling begins. No
definite date has been set for the be-
ginning Of operations, but everything
is in readiness to begin on short
notice.
Derrick timber has been hauled to
the location to be drilled by the Sim
mons Drilling Co., on the Carl Goff
tract miles south Of town, and it is
expected that actual operations will be
started as soon as he derrick is com
pleted. This location is in NE Of NE
