FINCH & WHEELOCK, Proprs
Tulsa, Okla., June 5.—The Muskogee
district has another disappointment in
th'„ 'est on the Thomas Durant allot,
.nent, northwest quarter of section 10-
14-18, drilled by Sharp & Sloan. At
1,620 feet a showing of gas was found,
hut at a little more than 1,800 feet all
formations are dry, and none of them
too well developed. The location is a
mile south and a quarter east of the
discovery well,and will have a tendency
to stop prospecting in any direction
south and west of the first well, at
least for the lower producing sand. The
company that drilled the first well has
a lease adjoining the Siebold land and
filed it with the Indian agent for ap-
proval, intending to drill there, but
M. L. Mott,tribal attorney for the Creek
nation, has filed a protest against its
approval until a bonus of $15,000 has
been paid. The base is worth drilling
a test on. but the way the field is
showing anyone would be taking very-
long chances in paying that much bonus
for any lease in the Muskogee district.
This man Mott has both "mitts" out
wherever he thinks there is a dollar.
The Brown Oil company's test in
the northwest corner of section 28-13-
14, one location southeast of the first
well at Morris, after getting a showing
of oil at 1,470 feet, was drilled deeper,
and is making a 20 barrel showing in
the 1,600-foot sand. With a dry hole j
to the east, one northwest and one dry i
one and a gasser at Morris, two miles
and a half north of the well, south and i
southwest seems to be the only pay that \
can be found in the Morris district. The
Test Oil company is building a rig two j
miles southwest of the well, on the j
Wright Moore land, 3213-14. A rig
was up on the Nimrod Doyle land, 28-
13-14, southeast of the well, but since J
the test on the Nelson land, half a mile j
east, is dry in the regular formation, j
no sand at all showing, the Doyle rig
for L. E. Hainsher, will hardly be j
drilled. The rig that was used at Hof-
man has been moved tp a lease about
four miles south of the Morris well,
where a test will be drilled.
TEST NEAR MOUNDS.
Several months ago F. B. Ufer drilled
a test three miles south of the town of
Mounds, in section 30-16-12, and it is
generally believed that he found oil.
He is now starting another test to the
east, on the D. A . Willard allotment,
now owned by Low, in section 32-16 12,
near the center of the section. It is a
mile east of the Frisco track and three
miles and a half due south of Mounds,
a very important test.
TWO TO THE NOKTU.
Acosta & Co., at a test on the Jesse
James allotment, 6 18-12, six miles
north of Glenn production and two
miles and a half southwest of Red Fork,
have 3,000,000 feet of gas at 1,700 feet,
below the Glenn sand, with a showing
of oil. The hole was drilled without
rasing and a cave has two strings of
tools buried.
The Hull & Reese test, on the D. Ov.
erton 20 acres southwest corner of sec-
tion 5-17-12, is a 25,000,000 gasser 16
feet in the sand, with oil spraying. As
soon as a small string of pipe can be
handled it will be drilled deeper. It is
to the west of anything that far north
in the pool and is being anxiously
watched.
TWO GOOD ONES.
On the Belcher Ispocogee 80 acres,
southeast quarter of 34-18-12, north
and on the east line of Glenn production,
the second test for the Jones Oil com-
pany is showing for 400 barrels, a loce-
tion north of No, 1, which had an ini-
tial production of 300 bbls. after a shot.
One location west, on the Martha Hoi.
ante 80 acres, the second test for the
Page Investment Company is showing
for 200 bbls. The Jones company will
start No. 3 on the east line of the lease.
In the southeast quarter of section
18, in the edge of the town of Kiefer
and west of the Franchot & Neely 160
acres, the Holdenville Oil and Gas com-
pany's first test is showing for 300 bbls.
It is further west than any other well
in that pnrt of the pool.
Galbreath, Chesley & Colcord have
completed 16 wells on the Brook land,
15-17-12, east side of the pool, and fin-
ished the 80 acres. The last wells drill,
ed started at 100 to 300 bbls. On the
Robert T. Barber 1C0 acres, where the
same firm has two wells, No. 2, which
started at 700 bbls., is now pnmping 100
bbls. a day. It is the southeast well
of the pool and had 50 feet of sand.
They are pumping several wells on the
Nevada Berryliill 80 acres. Galbreath,
Chesley & Colcord now have 52 produc-
ing wells in the Glenn pool, their Ada E.
Glenn No 1, section 10, being the dis-
covery well of the pool, now 15 months
old nnd pumping, while No. 2, 14 months
old, is still flowing 100 bbls. a day,
starting at 800 bbls. They estimate
they have 750,000 bbls. of oil in ground
tanks.—II. L. Wood in Oil Citv Derrick.
COMPUTE COST OF ISLANDS.
Federal Officials to Answer Philippine
Critic*.
W ashington. — Acting on instruc
tlons from the president, the war de-
partment officials have undertaken tc
find out Just how much the Philip
pines have cost the United States
government. The president wants
this information so that he can an
swer the charges of enemies of the ad
ministration that the islands annu
allly cost the taxpayers of the coun-
try hundreds of millions, and that the
burden of carrying them Is growing
heavier and heavier.
At the present time the war depart-
ment officials have only the vaguest
idea of the total expenditures Involved
in supporting the Philippines. At the
| recent session of congress statements
were made on the floor of the house
| and senate that the cost of the Asiatic
| possessions ran from $100,000,000 to
$500,000,000 a year. It was asserted
j that the expense account was rolling
; up higher and higher, instead of di-
minishing, and that the only propei
solution of the difficulty was to gel
rid of the islands by turning them
j over to another keeper.
Now the president has given the
word that the facts must be forthcom
ing. The work of digging out the fig
ures has been intrusted to Gen. Clar-
ence R. Edwards, chief of the bureau
of insular affairs.
Gen. Edwards believes that he will
be able to show that the enemies of
the Philippines have greatly slander-
ed the islands. He thinks that $10,-
000,000 at the most will cover all an
nual charges traceable to the archi
pelago, and even hopes to scale the
total down to $5,000,000.
RULES FOR A LONG LIFE.
Man of 90 Gives Friends Benefit of
Hit Own Experience.
Chicago.—An exponent of the sim-
ple life is John L. Retsln, just 90
years old, who has these rules for
longevity and contentment evolved
from his own experience written out
for guidance of friends:
Sleep seven hourB.
Arise early, as the birds do.
Go to bed at the same hour every
night.
For relaxation smoke a pipe after
each meal.
Indulge yourself moderately. In the
evening, a game of cribbage.
A glass of wine occasionally.
Cultivate strawberries and flowers.
The outdoor exercise tends to prolong
life.
Don't worry.
Don't get excited.
Know when you've had enough. Re-
tire at middle age, though even on a
modest income, and live quietly.
Keep your mind occupied by read-
ing history.
It was a memorable occasion, Mr.
Retsin's birthday party. The cribbage
board came out from its corner in the
walnut whatnot, and the dinner set
that has been in the family since 1473
was placed on the festive board. So
carefully have these clumsy, brown-
figured cups and dishes and tureens
been handled for 400 years that not
one Is broken—even chipped.
The old man lives in a cottage 'mid
trees and flowers. From the front
windows of the little house two pieces
of marble statuary, one representing
"Youth," the other "Love," look upon
the placid garden.

Former Nominee for High Office Now
a Policeman.
Ottumwa, la—The police depart
ment of the city of Ottumwa has the
unique distinction of having as one of
its patrolmen a former candidate for
the presidency of the United States
in the person of George E. Taylor, a
negro, who, on July 6, 1904, In St.
Louis, Mo., was given the nomination
by the National Liberty party, an or-
ganization made up chiefly of negroes
of the south.
On the official ballot of the cam-
paign of 1904 the name of George E.
Taylor, National Liberty party candi-
date for the office of chief executive,
appeared In seven states and his sup-
porters numbered over 300,000.
Taylor was given the tenderloin dis-
trict beat by Mayor Thomas Jefferson
Phillips as a slight recognition of his
efforts in assisting Phillips' boom for
the governorship of Iowa when Mr.
Phillips was the Democratic nominee
in 1902,
George E. Taylor was early in life
made an orphan and spent his boy-
hood days in St. Paul, where he at-
tended public school. He has studied
law, and for a time practiced at that
profession. At one time he published
a newspaper in Oskaloosa. In poll-
tics he was originally a Republican,
then a National Liberty advocate, and
now a staunch Democrat.
New Smoke Preventive.
Washington.—A new and simple
proceeding to cope with the smoke
nuisance Invented by a Munich me-
chanic consists of a series of small
tanks filled with water, over which
the smoke escapes. Is claimed that
by this arrangement smoke and soot
are absorbed by the water, the re-
maining gases escaping In the form of
a small, transparent cloud of white
steam.
otherwise known as the Uncle
Sam Oil company. The article
is illustrated with reproductions
of the big ads the company
formerly ran, showing the big
lines promising dividends, the use
of the emblems of American in-
dependence and the
"How to spehd money."
the reproduction of the "come on"
ads. Colliers runs this comment:
"The bait set to catch suckers; in
Tucker's full-page advertisements
emphasis was always placed on,
expected dividend returns; thej
total dividends actually paid j
amounted to 810,050." The Uncle.
Sam company scheme is called by-
Colliers "A typical investment
take."
The New York paper calls at-
tention to the fact that "While
more than a million dollars was
taken in from stock sales in the
two years of the company's exist-
ence, only 870,482 was received
from the sale of refined and crude
oil Again, by way of contrast,
the company's postage account
was 818,364, while cash dividends
(and this from sales of stock) of
810.818 were paid. More than
821,000 was charged to the ex-
pense of selling stock in addition
to the 8245,000 paid to newspa-
pers."
"Probably Tucker convinced
himself that he was acting in
good faith," continues Colliers,
"when out of the total receipts
of stock sales of 81,020,856 he
paid for newspaper advertising
8245,150, and tor pipeline con-
struction 8226,575. His refinery
construction account failed to
equal his advertising account by
more than S34.000. He seems to
have been of the type of pro-
moter who spends a toilsome
week over the construction of a j
page advertisement of a proposi-
tion, and then runs out 'on the
job' for a day or two and orders
his foremen to 'get busy, and do
enough work to make a new
photograph.' He knew nothing
about the oil business from ex-
perience, but this ignorance, like
the other details of this case, is
characteristic of the investment]
fraud that is organized to victim-1
ize the small investor."
