A wildcat Is wildcat, and the man

wants to win All be can when he

should he lose. SO we are fortu-
nate enough in this case 20 get an
option on some royalty for but
little money. II the well now drill

Again, i'm Kevin-sunburst IL feels
like old times to watch the out
come OF the two wells on the West
side, north Of Kelvin. Many im-
portant pools have been opened up
in Kevin-snnburBt. But most OF
them were found accidentally. An
operator who drilled well after well
finally bumped into q gusher and
thereupon 8 new pool came into
existence.

Kevin-sunburst is the one spot
where the pressure has not yet

STOCKS SUPPORTED
AFTER EARLY LOSS
New Buying Checks Decline
Caused by Profit
Taking Sales.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 15.-Proft-
taking interrupted the rise in stocks to-
day, but new buying checked the de-
cline after heavy volume of week end
selling orders had been executed.
Prices fell back 81 to SIS in the first
half-hour when traders who had ridden
last weeks sensational rally disposed Of
commitments. These declines were re-
duced to the extent of dollar or SO in
many instances, although volume con-
tracted when the market hardened.
Turnover in the first half hour ap-
proximated 100000 shares against
100000 on Saturday. Most of the SELL
ing orders were for blocks of moderate
actions which featured trading in the
previous session.
United States Steel dropped s2.12 to
s46.87 before meeting support. Ameri-
can Telephone reacted SIS to S127.75
and then regained more than 50 of its
loss. American Can halved 81 loss
which had carried it down to $3.50,
and losses CT 50 to So for American
Tobacco B. Case. Union Pacific, New
York Central, Consolidated Gas. West
inghouse and Du Pont were also re-
duced
The early setback was generally in
line with brokerage house expectations,
for leading commission houses felt the
market could hardly maintain so swift
an upward pace without pausing for
breath. 1t was pointed .out, also, that
the technical position had been weak
ened by the stampede Of short covering
which had swept prices higher last
Thursday and Saturday, but it was
nevertheless reported that considerable
short selling had appeared during the
rise which would tend to correct such
weakness
Commentators believed that although
repurchases by badly pinched shorts
had given the market its initial mo-
mentum, the sensational recovery had
gone far toward improving sentiment.
1t was suggested in some quarters that
the market was attempting to discount
an improvement in business which
might be set in motion by the new effort
to relax credit tension, although 1t was
admitted that actual results of this
move might be slow in making them
selves evident.

severe jolt of the explosion of nitro
