Show Mil LEASE HAS TWO OILraUCERS i WICHITA FALLS, March 2 2.--" Anyone Any-one who thinks the Btirkburnett field is falling off ought to go out and look at l those two wells on the McMahon lease, 1 west of the townsite," said a prominent oil man. "Together they are making more oil than any two other wells yet ! brought in, and the last one is the blgT gest well in north Texas." This latter well is reported to be making better than i 2100 barrels, and other weils coming in every day in the same vicinity indicates 1 that the field is just as good as ever. Other well-known oil men are equally as optimistic. V. Y. Mann, who was one of the firsjt producers to get into the field, says that, in his judgment, the wells now producing are good for eight to ten years on the pump, and, while he does not anticipate that they will hold up their present production for that I length of time, he thinks that they will I be good paying properties. Mr. Mann re-I re-I ported that the past week many in-; in-; quiries had been received from producing : companies in other states who are seek-' seek-' ing to buy wells and good acreage here, ; and that the influx of big oi men ano j companies is greater now than at any time since the field opened. He stated j also that he and his associates had given one of these companies an option for fifteen fif-teen days on block 12 of the townsite for $300,000, which price alone would make the stock In the companies organized on this block worth two for one or better. The deal haa not been entirely consummated consum-mated as yet, but the buyers have put up a forfeit and the deal will probably be j closed before the option expires. |
