Is Making 8,000 Barrels
Nearby
Bristow* July 10.- -Production took
an upward trend in the poor farm dis-
trict today when the H. F. Wilcox
well, No. 4 Hcneha, came in making
400 barrels oil an hour, 1500 barrels of
ojl was put* in the tanks during tho
lirst 45 minutes. Tope of the sand
was reached at 31 JIG feet and it was
drilled three feet in. The gusher is a
diagonal offset to the Roland gusher.
Four 1600 and ten 20 barrel tanks
are erected at the well and a large
slush pond with high banks has been
completed.
H. F. Wilcox, his father, Geor&e
Dye, vice president, and Superinten
dqpt Blodgett and several other offi-
cials of the company were on the
ground to see the bringing in of the
big producer and were not disap-
pointed in their expectations.
The new gusher proves the big pro-
duction stuff in the poor farm dis-
trict and will inspire still greater de-
velopment in that territory. Albert
Kelly of this city is owner of the fee
on the tract on which the big well is
brought in.
The big producer created another
sensation in the Bristow territory,
and has its effect in encouraging
more development in all the fields in
the Bristow territory besides the poor
farm district.
Several other wells in the neigh-
borhood of the Roland and Wilcox
gushers are near the top of the
Dutched sand and interest of oildom
will be drawn to the terrtt rv south-
west of Bristow for some time to
come.

Chicago, July 10.—Tho windy
city stood open-mouthed today as
it watched the performance of
the newest ctV^Qnering champion
invader.
Frank Jackron, Kellerton. Ia.,
chief of the ''barnyard golf" art
ists, took on all comers and the
way he took them!
Jackson is concededly the class
of the horseshoe pitchers.
Chicago put its best against
him e,nd although they made ring-
er after ringer, they couldn't
score. Jackson crowded every
ringer.
One out of every two horse
shoes Jackson pitches, on an av-
erage, is a ringer. He made 19
in one game.
Every time he pitches a two
a,r.d one-half pound shoe, it turns
over two and one-half times in a
flight of 40 feet and lights with
calks facing the peg.
Jackson has made a life study
of the game.

Derrick, and Ilia bunkie, Karl C.
Parcher, stopping at the Kails to-
day.
The two yotyig men are riding
n motorcycle for the trip. They
have covered several thousand of
miles this early in the season and
expected to keep running until
they reach Los Angeles, late in
the fall. They will winter ift the
western city and return to
Drumright in the spring, accord-
ing to schedule.
Russell and Parcher are typi-
cal, husky lads from the oil field
section of Oklahoma. Thefr only
complaint about Niagara is the
fact that they could jmt get into
Canada with their machine. Ill
Oklahoma, it seems. It requires
some time to secure a license for
a motorcycle. The travelers were
halted at tho other end of the in-
ternational bridge yesterday aft-
ernoon and told that the machine
could not be passed. They were
obliged to "hoof it," as Russell
expressed it.
