OIL COMPANY SELLS
ITS STOCK AT PAR
Wildcat Company Finances Two More
Wells in Kibler Field.
Fort Smith. The Wildcat Oil and
Gas Company of this city has decided
to dria two additional wells in tne
Kibler field within the next 90 days.
The company has authorized the is
suance of an additional $21,500 treas
ury stock to be sold at par. This stock
has already been subscribed and tne
funds wrill be used p drill four wells.
The contract for two wells was let
some time ago to J. S. Totley, who
brought in the Wildcat No. 1 in record
time and who will spud in No. 2 soon.
A derrick for No. 3 in the same loca
tion, will be erected early this week.
One of the two remaining wells will
be located on the Bills farm, which
consists of 600 acres. This property
is owned by an estate controlled ai
Bolivar, Tenn., and its structure is
regarded with the best in the field.
All previous efforts to lease the prop
erty have resulted in failure, regard
less of me bonus offered, but on Sat
urday morning P. R. Thompson of this
city returned from Bolivar with a
lease to the land in his possession. It
is said the bonus paid by the Wildcat
company for this land established a
new record in the history of the local
field. Mr. Thompson spent a week at
Bolivar to obtain the lease, ^mong
its provisions is a clause that forfeits
the lease unless two wells are sunk
before the end of 1916, the first to be
started within 90 days.
Half of the Bills farm lies virtually
on top of the Kibler antecline. T*he
Wildcat people have all land leased
in section 36, adjoining the Arkansas
river.
