CHICKASHA FIELD IS LYING UP
TO REPUTATION AS WONDER AREA;
LATE WELLS BIGGEST PRODUCERS

In many ways. the ChIckasha gas
field has. had the oil men guessing
since the start. The field il main.
tanning that record and producing
ono wonder after another In rapid
succession.
The first startling fact was that
a well with n volume OF 100000
cubic feet OF gas day. could pro-
duce from sand only i27i feet
deep. When later wells were drilled
dropping few million feet by vol.
ume. oilers took Il ms n matter OF
course. stating that the first well
In a field usually is the largest us
Il served to release the pressure.
Now comes the latest wonder In
the form OF the Magnolia No. 3. In
the southwest OF the southeast OF
section 2G.5n.Sw, which came In yes
terday aud which gauged yesterday
afternoon 5G.0O0,0OO cubic feet OF
gas n day. being the largest official
gauge 10 be announced.
Making the performance OF the
well more pronounced. Il is an east
offset TO the LeMaster we'll which
goes about 100000 cubic feet.
J. Il. Nlchlos has not announced
the gauge on his No. 4 we'll which
Is also said TO be a monster. per-
haps larger than the discovery well.
Despite the fact that there Is com
paratively little gas being marketed,
there seems to be no let up In the
activities and the work toward prov
ing additional territory goes stead
Ily forward. Ramsey interests have
completed n derrick In the north
east OF the southeast of the north
east of section 27-5n.Sw and. Il Is
understood. will start drilling In the
near future.
The proposal TO put one well to
10 acres, made by some OF the OPP
orators, is being put into effect.
Briscoe is sldddng his rig from the
southwest of the northwest OF the
southwest of section 25-5n-Sw, to the
center of the lease.
Others operators, II Is believed
will follow suit in the drilling out

WAGE BATTLE ON

Laws Residence and Officers
Engage In Free-for-AIl With
S. Mob Unemployed.
MANY INJURED WHEN
POLICE SWING CLUBS
Officials Of England Threatened With
March on Government Buildings;
Police Get Ready to Ward
Off Attack.

London, Nov. 22.-Two thousand
unemployed fought with mounted
and foot police today around the
foot of Nelson's monument in Ira
falgar Square in vain effort to
force their way TO the Downing
Street residence of Premier Bonar
Law.
Many were wounded in the milling
about the entrance to White Hall
while pedestrians fled from the
scene of battle and all roads were
blocked
Repeated police charges in which
heavy truncheons, the bobby's last
resort, were welded freely on heads
and limbs of struggling unemployed
finally forced the mob back from
White Hall and scattered them for
the moment up the Strand and Cock
spur street. Hundreds gathered in
front of the national gallery.
The battle was the climax of a
march Of unemployed upon Down
ing street. The workless demonstra-
ton sought to carry their cause
home to Britain by clamoring at the
gates of the premier's house. Thou
sands have come in from all parts
of the country to take part in the
demonstration.
The unemployed army apparently
divided its forces, for about ten
thousand are believed to be in the
city. Approach by another group
from the parliament street of
Whitehall was prepared for by cor
dons of bluecoated boobies, who
threw up barricades across the end
of Downing Street. In 1920 when
the unemployed last demonstrated
in extravagant manner their armies
converged upon White Hall from
several other directions, some com
ing down the embankment, while
others approached from Victoria
street.
The first clash today was un-
marked by the use of fire arms.
London's police, even when riot calls
are sounded are not permitted to
carry revolvers.
The unemployed, who had gath.
cred in great numbers in the square
about the foot of Nelson's Monu
Mentioning in small groups from
the east side of the city where many
found shelter for the night, attempt
ed to start march down White
Hall, past the offices Of the admir-
atty, and the war department ant
the forbidding entrance of Scotland
Yard.
They were met at the north ent
of White Hall, a point about q
yards from Bonar Laws residenc
by determined Gordon of police

from sidewalk to sidewalk.
The demonstrators tried rus
but their leaders crumpled in heap
against the blue wall while thos
behind could only shove good na
uredly.
After the first shock had bee
met, and the fight was on, mounte
police with light truncheons, charge
the head of the unemployed wedge

clsred In a speech prepared for de-

Merchant Marine and foreign trade
conference.
Alarmed at the possibility that the
American ships win take from them
some IS per cent of American exports

Every sort of discrimination has
been practiced against American
ships in foreign trade. Mr.. Plummer
said. but when Americans propose TO
do a little discriminating in favor of
their vessels British interests charge
the United States is trying to crente

"When giant American corpora

when such as they find, as they
do. that they can charter foreign ves-

Mr.. McGarry stated that so com.

to bear a discriminatory rate.
Within n few weeks the General

up with the railroads the problem of
reducing the rates. Mr.. McGarry said
today that he had no hesitancy in
saying hat reductions vera expected
to come from this meeting y hich

Said Mr.. McGarry. while we cal
conclusively demonstrate that the
Casper rates are much too high, it
can hardly be said that the evidence
warrants the establishment of the
same rates as apply from the Missouri
river to Cheyenne and Denver. Com
parsons might be made of rates and

We would accomplish more by asking
