I embezzled $1,000 from Dr. .George!
Probably by the time this paper1B. Livermore of Memphis about a |
reaches the readeos scores of local Anonth ago and also adniittf'd trying j
Oil enthusiasts will be speeding to 10 eash a worthless check for $75,
Orangefleld to witness he finales in signing the name of Wilson Mai
the development of another t.il well 'nrv- a prominent business man of
which If successfully brought in will Memphis,
brine the number of producers up
to thirteen.
J The Gulf Production company No.
1 Chesson is the well in question.
Last nipht the drillers reamed down
preparatory to set tiny ooreen and at
an early hour this morn’ng six 20
foot joints of 4 1 2-inch screen start-
ed in the hole.
The depth of this well is said to
be about 2.200 feet, which is prac-
tically 100 feet in excess of the
depth of the Humble Oil and Refin-
ing company No. 1 Winfree, brought ,
in last Sunday. j
The indications are very favorable j-
in this well and while the employes.1
of the Guifl company, from the!
roughneck w> general field superin '
tendent have been extremely ronscr-1
vative in their predictions, all expect t
a good well.
Thie well is located nearer to the]
public road than any other well and/
is considered as oecuying the hi/h-1
est point yet drilled in the field/ In
the event the well should "blow in"
before the wash pipe has hc/n with-
drawn. it is quite likely tYiat many
of the travelers along/the public
road will receive a Sprinkling ori
rather a baptism of oil. j
The belief is general that it will
not be necessary to hail this well \
wliich has eh'own an abundance of
gas as tbs depth has gone below the
atratum^ that might have been im-1
poverlahed by other wells brought
in in that territory. It is thought
that there is n bare possihilitv of a
Repetition of the Edgerlv Petroleum
company gas eruption because of
the extreme depth peneirated. It is
believed tht precautions taken bv
the coneern Would forestall any
damage by heavy gas pressure u ]
The Orange Petroleum com pan-
bad not reached the bottom of well
No. 2 Winfree this morning where
a new hole is being made w hen bv
the old screen is being sidetracked
Field Manager Billl,. Lucas stated
this morning that he larked three
joints of being as deep at the hot
tom of the old screen.
In the process of Opening up this
well, it required an extraordinary
quantity of mud to fill up the orivi-1
ties below. In the meantime oil and'
gas came up in such quantities that j
It was a task for the drilling force
to remain on duty.
Rumor has it that the Prownie-
Babette Oil company may drill next!
on the Foreman and Smith lease,;
although the rumor rould not be,
substantiated. Just how soon the:
lease will be drilled, or renewed, is
not known, although it is known
that the time for expiration of the
leasing is drawing very near j
Many of the best posted oil men
here are predicting that the next .20
days will witness revival in the oil!
business that will surprise even the!
most optimistic citizens. They hase|
their conclusions on the fact that in.
quiries regarding the field are in- j
creasing and that there is an in
crease in the number who invest!.;
gate the field personally and • yn <; s
themselves as ftfvobablv regarding
the future. It is believed that the
expected increase in the price of.
crud from 80 cents to $1.00 and’
$1.25 a barrel will serve as a suffi !
