The Comanche Chief from Comanche, Texas • Page 4

OIL GOSSIP newspaper Bears Springs Sipe A newspaper story sent in from Eastland to the daily press during the last days of last week had a strong tendency to the lease market in Sipe Springs terri- big oil companies at a rate of three torv and in the whole country as to one over any other county save will in all probability be followed by thedevclopment of the large holdings of some of the big com panics nearer Comanche. That we are in one of the most productive oil spots is brought very forcibly to our minds when it is realized that Comanche county holdings are sought by for that matter. Whether the articles referred to are a part of a scheme on the part of the speculators to throw cold water on lease speculation in this section or whether it was pure ig- noranct on part of some reporter is not known, but it is Kastland and tion of that. in the Hanger see PIONEER CELEBRATES EIGHTY SIXTH BIRTHDAY On Sunday, Oct. Hi, people, including children, grand i quite evident hat the ai iiy 11 great grand-ehildren and damaging to oil development of the county and were wholly untrue in the they leave.

It is a fact that the casing is being drawn at the well, but only tor neighbors and friends gathered at the home of Win, Hanson, age Mi. to eat a birthday dinner with him, which would be on Oct. 14. nble io request of his children that Uie purpose of umlrrre.unii^ an.i hp Sumlav, or rest putting down a larger casing in order to dig the few remaining feet to the oil sands that are sure to be encountered. The drillers struck a black shale at a little less than 2500 feet which is suposed to cover the black lime just above the oil sands, and this shale proved caving which was an unexpected occurrence for that depth and as a consequence casing had to be inserted in order to pre vent losing the tools in ease ot a and the small casing could not afford to to be inserted at tlial depth.

It is in reality a fact that the showing of this well is excellent and those who are drilling the well' are absolutely confident that oil will be encountered at a little giva ter depth than in the Duke well. No attention should be paid to the newspaper story which was either a monstrous bone head or an effort to bear the lease market of 'omanehe county. As to how real oil men look upon the territory is best seen in the fact that higher prices have been paid for leases in that section than at any equal distance from actual production anywhere in oil field. New Contract Made Near Hasse A contract has been closed for a pool of land northwest of Hasse ex tending from the railroad at Hasse to Hush Creek and to within a mill of the Leon on which oper stions are to be started in the next weeks. Mi Shoemaker and Leap are the and while have some sixty days in which to get the work under way prepara lions arc made to begin work at once, and it is expected that machinery will arrive at Has se within next week.

This is the exact territory on which an effort was made to get drilling sonn two years ago and oil men realize in ii one of best prospects in whole field and spleidid acreage has been obtained. At the Gillette and Collins Well The derrick for the ill ette and Collins well which is being put down on Sturkie property is practically completed and the machinery is almost all in place and it is probable that it will be spudded in within the next week X)IL LEASES, ROYALTIES, ASSIGNMENTS, FILED Leases.
