' THE GREAT CUSH ING OIL FIELDS I'cthnps very few people can bn found today who hnvo not henrd of thn crest CushinR oil fields. In 1913 oil and was were dlsrovered northeast of CusliIng nml since thnt tlmo hundreds of oil und c.is wells Imve been drilled and millions of barrels of nil nnd an oxhnustloss supply of natural bos produced. At omo tlmo this was the Kn-nteit producing oil fli ld In thn world, hnvlnc a dally output of from 360,000 ti IIIO.OUK InrtelM tier day At the present din It Is the (treat ost oil producInK field In thn state nnd h.n u dully output of from 35,000 tn 10,000 barrels. This field has spread until todny It mtrrounds thn city on three Hides, In November of lait year a (jond well In thu Ilartlesvlllu sund was broUKht In one nnd one half miles to the northwest of tho city in wildcat territory This Is a. 450-bnrrel well nnd has been main taining that flow since tho fore part of November. At the present time over 10 welli are drilling In this new field nnd more tins are bcliiR put up. Several of the Inreo companies are operating In this field nnd development during the next few months will be very ureal. In the history of tho oil development In tli In country no other field has ever seen Ho many wells drilled on thu strcnirth of ono producer, or hli:her pi Icert paid for leases. When tho CiifdiliiK oil field was first discovered tho men of tho city knew nothing about thn oil K.mm and only n vciy few reaped a direct flimnclal benefit, but this Is not true of the last discovery. When tho Thompson well was broiiRht In last November every foot of lenses In tho field with tho exception of 40 acres was held by farmers or local men of thn city and the finnncl.il benefits derived have I very (Treat.
