BARTLESVILLE, I,T.
LOCAL AND GENERAL
What ia Transpiring at Home and Abroad
—Resume of the Week.
—The Big Wolf Oil company's No.
1 on the Meadows land, 11-20 7 is due
to be drilled in.
—Work has been started on the
erection on the erection of the plant
of the National Refining company, at
Coffevvllle.
—Tbe Corn planter people have a
large amount of pipe on the Big Lease
near Chelsea for a line to the Musko-
gee refinery.
—The story that the Standard Oil
company will build a pipeline from
Cygnet, Ohio, to Humboldt, Kan.,
has been revived in the east.
—The Columbia Oil company's test
on tbe McClure land, 17 218, which
was drilled in last week is making
about 20 barrels a day natural.
—D. Gunsbursr's test in section 31
27-17, near the Childers store, north
ofCood.v's Bluff, was dry, like every
other test drilled in that direction.
—Jennings Brothers have an 800-
barrel producer on the southwest
quarter of the northeast quarter of 21
17-12, Creek nation. It is located on
the Olga Kela land.
—F. W. Galer and J. A. Tillotson
have finished drilling their second
well on the lease in 20-25 14, south-
west of Nowata and have secured a
gasser estimated at 20,000,000 cubic
feet per day.
—The Milliken Oil company's No. 2
on the Frazee land, 29 21 8. has beeu
delayed by a fishing job after the well
was down 350 feet. The hole has,
however, b^en cleared and it i
thought that the well will be brought
in within a few days.
—At a meeting of independent refin
held at Chanute last week it was de
decided toortf&nizea state association.
There was some discussion of a plan
to establish a central distributing and
selling agency for the purpose of
handling the output of the indepen
dents.
—To supply the farmers of Kansas
with natural gas, electric lights and
water works is the avowed object of a
$50,000 concern given a charter
by tbe state charter board. The com-
pany is to be known as the Kansas
Farmers' Gas company, and its head-
quarters are Kansas City.
It is reported that the Litchfield
well on the northeast quarter of the
southwest quarter of 8-17-12, Glenn
pool is good for 2,000 barrels a day
It is flowing out of an eight inch cas
ing out over the walking beam, and is
a beauty. This well is two miles we«t
of the Glenn pool, and is three miles
east of Sapulpa, and is a purely wild
cat venture. Associated with Messrs.
Litchfield and Sawyer are some St.
Louis parties. These gentlemen
drilled two dry holes in the Glenn
pool where it seemed impossible to
tret a duster. Then they went out in
advance of the field and got a gusher.
Such is the oil business.
—The Union Oil company of Cali-
fornia has completed its eight-inch
pipe line across the Isthmus of Pana
ma The line is forty-five miles long
and extends from Colon on the Atlan-
tic 6lde to Panama on the Pacific
slope. A 37000 barrel steel storage
tank has been erected at each end of
the line and six additional tanks of
the same capacity will be built. The
work to date has cost $500,000. One
of the Union Oil Company's converted
tankers, the Santa Maria, is now on
the wav from Baltimore to California
This vessel Is ot 50,000 barrels capac
ity. A sister ship, the Santa liita,
vill leave the east in sixty days for
California. The first deliveries of
fuel oil to the isthmus will be used by
| the Panama Railroad and other indus
tries for fuel. There ia a demand for
about 3000 barrels a day on the isth-
mus.
—The Tulsa World says: "Tbe ex-
iggerated stories regarding competi-
ion by independent refiners in Texas
md the Standard Oil company, which
tiave been in general circulation for
he past ten days, are without an iota
if foundation. There has not been a
-ingle agreement signed for the sale
and delivery of oil in Texas, beyond
he shipments which have been started
ny the Prairie Oil and Gas company,
amounting to one thousand barrels a
day. The story to the effect that the
Frisco railroad has signed a contract
wivi Tulsa producers to furnish the
ra Iroad with one thousand barrels of
oil per dav, fails absolutely of confir-
m ition. if the contract has been made
thd parties who are a part of It, are
e<ceedingly reticent regarding the
i.nportant deal. A report from Sul-
itiur recently that Texas independents
iad signed up for immense shipments
rom the Tulsa oil fields Is as chimei-
cal as the rest of the pipe dreams
which have been promulgated on an
unsuspecting public.
—Records for September indicate
that stocks in tha Gulf Coast districts
were drawn upon to the extent of 900.-
000 barrels during the month. The
Southeast Texas districts are credit-
ed with an output of 927,500 barrels,
and the Louisiana districts 556,000
barrels. Railroad and vessel ship-
ments for the month amounted to 1,-
972,405 barrels. Refinery and field
consumption are estimated at 640,000
barrels, making the total requirements
2,612,405 barrels. Transfers of Jen-
nings oil to Texas storage, which are
included in the total of rail shipments,
are estimated at 200,000 barrels. De-
ducting this amount from the gross
total of movement and consumption,
gives a net total of 2,412,405 barrels,
or 928,905 barrels In excess of the out-
out. The shortage for August was
724,730 barrels, and for July 1,002,-
583 barrels. Demands last month
averaged more than 80,000 barre,s a
day, while the daily output was figured
at 49,450 barrels, leaving 30.000 bar-
a day to be supplied from stor-
age reserves.
—R. S. Stephens, fuel superinten-
dent of the Southern Pacific railway
lines in Texas has been looking over
the Indian Territory fields with a
view to ascertaining whether a supply
of crude, suitable for use on the lo-
comotives of the Southern Pacific sys-
tem can be obtained. Mr. Stephens
has expressed tbe opinion that any
one of several leases in the Creek na-
tion— Galbraith's, Lockwood's or the
Creek Oil company—can furnish all
the oil that ne needs, and some to
spare. The Southern Pacific's re-
quirements in Texas and Louisiana
run from 8,000 to 10,000 barrels a day.
It is proposed to get about 3,000 bar-
rels a dav from Indian Territory, if
the flash test of the Indian Territory
crude is high enough to permit its
safe use as fuel. Mr. Stephens took
back six samples of oil. and these
will be employed as a basis for deter-
mining whether the Indian Territory
product can be used. In the event
that it cannot be used straight on ac-
count of the low flash test, there may
be a way of mixing it with the low-
grade Texas and Louisiana oil, thus
making it suitable for Use In the lo
comotive fire boxes.

TUCKER S NEW SCHEME.
Increases "Uncle Jo h" Stock Without
loosing Control.
H. H. Tucker, Jr , general manager
and chief beneficiary of the "Uncle
Josh" Oil company, has apparently
sold about all of his firat issue of
"Uncle Josh" stock. The company
was capitalized for $10,000,000 when
it was organized under the laws of
Arizona. The stock was sold all
over the country at prices varying
from five cents on the dollar to twenty
cents. In othe words Tucker sold the
stock for whatever he could eet for it,
retaining just enough to enable him to
keep control of tbe company. Tucker
has never made a profit out of the oil
business. His profits come from tbe
sale of stock. His refinery and pipe-
line schemes are not profitable now in
a legitimate way. Unable to continue
the sale of stock from the original is
ue without, endangering his control
of the corporation, Tucker has amend
ed his Arizona charter (the "Uncle
Josh" company is unlicensed In Kan-
sHs.) so as to increase the capital
stock to #47,000,000. This amended
charter will enable him to continue
the sale of stock until bis control of
the concern is again threatened when
he will perhaps onbe more increase
the capital Shares of "Uncle Josh"
stock are given a par value of each
but since the increase Tucker is sell-
ing them for ten cents on the dollar,
except in cases where the purchaser
pavs for the *tock on the installment
plan. In such cases Tucker holds his
dupes up for twenty cents a share.

rels and in September 56.282 barrels.
