MORTE POWELL WRITES
OF OIL GAME
Morte O. Powell, former winter
nan.ager of the Alaska Mines Corpor
ition, in a letter to local friends from
l*ong Reach California, gives the fal
lowing: interesting glimpses into the
Oklahoma way. He says:
"Made a trip to the Texas and Ok
lahoma oil fields last winter, visiting
things about the oil game that T did
not know before.
"If oil would soil for $2.50 per bar
keep. Drilling shallow wells is very
josts about $1,500 contracted, with
casing and pumps, so a dr y hole d >es
not “hurt" like one of the deep ones,
which some twines cost $X0.000 or so t •
hill. Of course shallow wells do not
produce so heavy is the others but 15
rears to the well, pumping from one
to twenty barrels a lay. is quite a
flu:?. Oil was sc. ing at $11.50 per
tnrrel when I was th.ve but dropped
later to $1.75 I went to see a pro
position in which E. E. Powell and
»ther Nome iieople are interested in
it Chelsin. Oklahoma. There* is one
especially good feature about it in
:hat there are two kindts of oil in the
urea under lease, which comprises 180
teres. One kind of oil sells as high
is $3.50, and the other would go for
17.00 per barrel if he" could get any'
mppl.v. They did not have but one
veil that was pumping when T arrived
here. Two others had been brought
n but were put ‘on the hum” In try
ng to fix :hem. So they kept on
Induing and had two 5 barrel wells
ind a good gas well when I left.
Phey also intended to fix the well from
vhich they got the cylinder oil. It
vas leaking water so they could not
ret a supply of oil. This well is 800
eet deep, somewhat lower than ordi
nary crude oil, which Is found usually
ibout 500 feet down.
“Sliould the oil business pick up
ignlin before Spring I will go back.
3. E. was pretty ill when he landed
n Cheslia but recovered soon. We
lave had no news from Nome down
tore this winter. My wife and I drove
lown to Los Angeles from Seattle in
- car after coming out last fall. It
vas a fine trip. Then I came to Long
leach, where ft is cooler than In Los
Ingeles. You can thank your stars
’ou are not out here among all this
robbery and murder stuff.” Some
one is likely to rob you if you stop on
he street to look into a show window
r talk to some one. Crime appea
o be increasing every day.
“Hoping to see all hands in the
Spring and with regards to nl! the
