In the above were failures Eleven

ot completions the completion tor that
division being 225 in number the esti-
mated average production' of those
wells being a traction less than 50
barrels dally Of the two divisions ol
Abe Cherokee nation the 79 walla in
the Bartlesville district are estimated
to be capable of a dally production ol
6650 barrels as compared with the
5527 barrels from the 146 new welis
In the shallow sand districts comprte
Ing Coadys Bluff Alluwee and Chelsea
In the Cherokee nation there were
twenty-five dry holes and eighteen

' The average production of the 93
wells completed In the Cherokee na-
tion were greater than that of the
wells completed anywhere else In the
-midcontinent field-that number hav-
ing a total of 34817 barrels dally production-
Six dry holes and two gaa-
era were drilled in the Creek nation in
June '

The Weber pool east of Bartles
ville is coming to attract attention
as the Glenn pool begins to decline
The entrance of Texas producers into
this field is significant The tendency
probably to underestimate Weber pool
wells and overestimate Glenn pool
wells' and if this' Is true the Weber
pool is a more prolific area than any
other In the midcontinent field The
new pool at Delaware eighteen miles
east of Bartlesville continued suffi-
ciently enticing to lead to the starting
of much new work but there were no
developments within the past month
to demonstrate to a certainty the char-
acter of the field Morris and Musko-
gee are In the Same class the success
counterbalancing the failures so far as
their Influence on hopes go although
the failures are in the majority
The distinctive feature of the month
in the Indian Territory oil field was
the storms which did great injury to
these improvements and entailed
heavy loss through the burning of oil
in tanks The Btorms had effect alsf
in reducing the number of completions

At-Cape Breton' there are Immense
collerles being worked under the
ocean - These submarine mines cover
a thousand acres and are being in-
creased steadily The mines are en-
tered at the shore and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than a mile It might be ex-
pected that the weight of the water
would force Its way into the mine
The bed of the ocean Is as tight as
a cement cistern A sort' of fireclay
lines the submarine roof of the mine
and the sediment above Is held in
place and packed down by the water
pressure until there is not a crevice
nor a drop of water from overhead

Kept It Hid from the Children
"We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food In
the bouse It goes so fast I have to
hide it because the children love it so
It is just the food I have been looking
for ever so long something that I do
not have to stop to prepare and still is
nourishing” -
’ Grape-Nuts Js the most scientifically
made food on the markeL It Is per-
fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be served at an In-
stant’s notice either with rich cold
cream or with hot milk If a hot dish
Is desired When milk or water is
used a little sugar should be added
but when cold cream Is used alone
the natural grape-sugar which can be
seen glistening on the granules Is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the fialate
This grape-sugar Is not poured over
the granules as some people think
but exudes from the granules In the
process of manufacture when the
starch of the grains Is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
of manufacture This In effect Is the
first act of digestion therefore Grape-
