T'wnr"!!'1? i. m I' . it it' fa i A rvi V o Oklahoma's Best Wildcat Test In March, 1917, the Red Hill Oil & Gas Co., incorported under the laws of Oklahoma, was organized to prospect a geologically approved structure five miles east of Wood ward, on the Morrow form the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 23-23-20. Work was begun under this company's management the latter part of April. The formation bore out the geologist's report and in the lat ter part of November oil and gas in considerable quantity was found at a depth of 1565 feet but a test was not made to determine the exact amount. Drilling was continued till a depth of 1939 feet was reached when it became neces- F. W. Ewan sary to suspend operations till machinery could be purchased and, on account of war conditions, this took much time. In November, 1918, the new machinery, a big Lucey. rotary, with full complement of equipment for deep drilling, was in stalled and work resumed. Since that time good progress has been made. At 2118 feet a sand was picked up which carried oil and gas, estimated sufficient for a ten to twelve barrel well. The extremely favorable formation warranted the continuation of the drilling operations and the well is now down 2315 feet in lime, black slate and sand and a big producer is expected at any time. Geologist F. W. Ewan, of Newton, Kans., has surveyed the field and spates that the well is located on two well defined anticlines and his analysis of the cuttings enables him to say that he sees no possibility of failure to get oil in volume and with the indications pointing to a surprisingly large well. Mr. Ewan says the Red Hill is the best wildcat test in Oklahoma and that he knows them all. He finds a well defined showing of live petroleum in all cuttings below the 2118 foot level. Officers of the Company R. 0. Renfrew, of Renfrew Investment Co., is president; F. M. Cline is vice-president; S. P. Burter, of Childress, Tex as, is secretary, withvC. A. Johnson, assistant; D. B. Wyatt is treasurer. The president, vice-president and treasurer, with J. R. Herod, Charles Swindall, C. F. Henley and J. H. Warden, constitute the Board of Directors, and are all bus incss men of prominence and integrity, whose standing in sures a square deal to all. The drilling is in charge of R. J. Hopper, who has Had twenty years experience in drilling, two of which was in the oil fields of Roumania. He states that he has a ten to twenty barrel well now and that the formation is the best he ever worked in. Will Make Test Soon Preparations are now being made to test the production already found and as soon lis the necessary material can be obtained this test will be made. With the judgment of the driller and the geologist that oil in paying quantity has al ready been found, there is little room for doubt that a small well is assured. In the meantime drilling will be continued while the preparations are making for the test and the ex tremely favorable formation indicates that a big well may Red Hill Oil & Gas Co., Woodward, Oklahoma 11.

Issuo Certificate to Signed l'ostofflco be expected in the lower level, and just as soon as the mater ial arrives a test will be made of all the oil-bearing sands in the well. Everyone knows of the immense fortunes that are be ing made in oil. The Daily Oklahoman, of Sunday, Feb ruary 16, says that two shares of stock, par value $10.00, in a company which brought in a 12,000,000 foot gasser at Amarillo, Texas, sold last week for $1000.00 each. The Petroleum Age for February reports that stock of the Fowler Oil Co., at Burkburnett, Texas, is worth $15,000 for every dollar of its original capital. The same paper is au thority for the statement that a lease on a five-acre tract in that field brought $25,000 and the owner is receiving $1,000 a moflth in royalties from 4 wells. The Red Hill stands to make just as good showing as this. The company is capitalized at $200,000 with shares $10.00 each, par valuc.4 Its big acreage insures a big return to the stockholders on even a omall well of ten to twenty barrels, while a big well will give fabulous returns. The time to make the big money in an oil field is to get in ahead of development. That time is NOW with the Red Hill. Fill out the" coupon and mail it to the President at once. The par stock will be withdrawn when tho test is ready and be fore if the big pay is found. The Red Hill Oil . Gas Co., HKAVEKvHIGH.'HCHOOIi NOTES.

Hair the states In our country passed resolutions requesting the Im mediate submission of the Federar Sufrragc Amendment by the United States Senate. There are fifteen full suffrage States. Fourteen of them took the above legislative action. Our state Oklahoma only failed to memor ialize the Senate In behalf or the Fed eral Suffrage Amendment. In Oklahoma the House passed the memorial by resolution, House Con current No. 7, January 15th, the day It wns Introduced by Newman Hodges and Bobo. It was transmitted to the Senate January 20th, and was re ferred to the Committee on Privileges, and Elections. Tho chairman of this Committee Is-Mr. W. C. MeAllstor. In November 1018, the votcrB of Oklahoma went on record as over whelmingly In favor of the woman suffrage measure which had been re ferred to them. Mr. McAltster, chair man of the Board or Elections, was hostllc to woman suffrage and re fused in face of the unmistakable wish of tho people to certify the re turns on suffiage. Governor Wil liams finally proclaimed the suf frage victory without this certifica tion. In representative Republics It should bo impossible for one man to defeat the wishes of the many.
