INVESTS SMI J
Big Oil Firm to Enter Young
County Field on Big
Scale
Wichita Fails, Nov. 20.- The
Panhandle Refining Oompanys
No. 2 MeCluskey is expected to
furnish the next important develop-
ments in the Young County oil
fields,, having reached the 2,500-
fool sand, and now making dril-
ling in preparations according to
the latest reports from the field.
This well passed up. two rich sands
one at 1,800 feet and the second
at 2,100 feet, without stopping to
test.
Oil men on the grounds when
the 2,100- foot sand was drilled
state that there was over 100 feet
of it, and it gave promise of being
good for around 200 barrels.
The interest which the Panhan-
dle first well aroused has been
intensified with the completion of
the Oklahoma Petroleum and Gaso-
line Company's well, as previously
reported, and the South Bend dis-
trict is experiencing what is very
much of a boom, in these days of
general inactivity. Operators from
the Wichita Falls district were
among the first to go into the
county, and there are continuous
recruits to the ranks of local opera-
tor’s, as well as many operators
from Breckenridge who are pre-
paring to put down tests.
J. B. Hedrick and Judge Scott
are reported* preparing to start
drilling in a short time the former
on the MeCluskey land, and the
latter on the Dooley'farm.
The Seaboard Oil and Gas Com-
pany is reported to have made
location for its No. 1 Graham, off-
setting the Oklahoma Petroleum
and Gasoline Company’s well on-
ly a few hundred feet.
The Panhandle Refining Com-
pany is reported drilling around
1,600 feet in their No. 3 MeClus-
key, around 500 feet in No. 4, and
to have the rigs on the grounds for
Nos. 5, 6 and 7 MeCluskey.
The Southwestern Miami test,
on the McKeen, the first to get
the oil lime, is reported flowing,
between bridges, after a shot
given last week. The well has not
been thoroughly cleaned nut and
no test has been possible, because1'
of the bridging of the hole. This
well was drilled about 80 feet into
the lime, entered at 4,000 feet, ac-
cording to reports, and continued
to flow from '50 to 60 barrels a day
while drilling was progressing.

NO. 2 MG CLUSKEY IS
DENIED OF INTEBEST
Several Flowing Wells Recently
Developed in South Bend
Territory
Authentic reports here Satur-
day stated that the No. 3 well of
the Panhandle Refining Company
in the South Bend field of Young
county, had been brought in from
a 2100—foot sand, showing an in-
itial production around 500 barrels
The completion is the second of
the week in the new field, which
was opened up several weeks ago
by the No 1 of the Panhandle Re-
fining Company on the MeClus-
key farm. Both Panhandle wells
are on the same tract. \ !
The entrance of anotheer well- 1
known local oil firm into the new
field also became known Saturday.
The Danciger Oil and Refining
Company, large operators in several
fields of this county, have pur-
chased 112% acres in the new
field for a consideration of $150,
000. /
The holdings are in five tracts/
and are practically offsetting tin/
leases on which the Panhandle ®
and Oklahoma Petroleum and Gas-
oline Company’s wells have been
brought in. The Danciger interests
are making preparations for an ex-
tensive development of the holdings
of the company in the near future*.
The holdings of the company lie
to the west and southeast of the
Panhandle wells with one lease be-
tween the Panhandle and Okla-
homa Petroleum and Gasoline Com-
pany’s lease. A fourth lease is
south of the latter company’s hold-
ings.
The new field lies in the basin
of the Brazos river eight miles
southeast of Graham, consisting of
about a section of land. The first
well to be brought in was that of
the Panhandle Refining* Company
which came in with an initial pro-
duction of 600 barrels from a 2540
foot sand. Since that time the Gra-
ham Syndicate has brought in a
well to the west and across the \
river from the Panhandle lease.
The well shows a smaller produc-
tion due to mechanical trouble.
Last week the Oklahoma Petrol-
eum and Gasoline Company brou-
ght in a well south of the Graham
well from a 2100—foot sand, the
same depth at which the second
Panhandle well was completed'.
Friday. The O. P. and G. (the
name by which the company is com-
monly known in this section) flow-
ed 600 barrels in 15 hours in in-
tial production.
The developments of the last
week have practically proven that
a new field has been opened up
with two sands showing oil in com-
mercial quantities. The develop-
ments have greatly increased the
interest in the field in this city and
its possibilities were being widely
discussed in local oil circles during
the later part of the week.
In addition to the Panhandle,
the O. P. and G. and the Danciger
interests, several other local com-
panies and operators have interests
in the new section, which will beVA
known as the South Bend field. v
Investigation Saturday showed
that acreage in the basin was prac-
tically controlled by local oil in-
terests. The Shamrock Oil and Gas
Company and Shamrock Oil Com-
paq, are among the companies
having holdings. C. II. Clark, presi-
dent of the Shamrock Company,
also has private holding there.—

FARMER GETS PAIR
OF SHOES AND 15c. FOR
BALE OF COTTON
Temple, Nov. 22—A bale of cot-
ton sold here Saturday for 3 cents
per pound, the lowest price record-
ed in years. It was “dog-ear”
cotton, weather stained and damag-
ed, ragged and low grade.
With the proceeds of his bale the
seller invested in a pair of Sunday
shoes, receiving 15 cents change.
This he offered in exchange for
a cold drink at a fountain. His
chagrin was great when his atten-
tion was called to the 2-cent war
tax. Being out of funds, he borrow-
ed the tax from a friend.

Burk Baseball and Jack Wynne
returned Aloud ay night from a
hunting trip to the Rio Grande
country. They report good luck
and a fine time.
