Sapulpa, I. T., Oct. 3—The
facts about the finding of oil a
short distance south of Sapulpa
are becoming known. A repre-
sentative of the Standard Oil
company visited the locality a
few days ago and made a thor-
ough test of the oil and found i
that it was strong in petroleum.;
Farmers in the immediate vicin-
ity of the tind have been using it
for machinery for some time,but)
did not know its value. The
Frisco railroad has been aware j
of this oil deposit for several
months, and it is said the roftd
intends to build its south line
out of Sapulpa to within a short
distance of this oil tind. . The
discovery is in an almost direct
line with the great oil belt that
extends from Kansas into the
Choctaw nation. Preparations
are making to develop the oil
fields as soon as those in posses-
sion can be assured protection
by the government.—K. C. Star.
