Louisville Rapidly Coming to the

Front in Interest in Oil

Development.

LOUISVILLE, Ky„ Jan. lo.—Inter-

est continues unabated in the daily call

sessions of Kentucky oil securities at

their new headquarters, I20 South

Fourth Street, this city. Yielding to

the sentiment of the traders the man-

agement of the Exchange changed the

hour of call from 10:30 to 12I15. It is

no uncommon occurrence to find at

these sessions two hundred interested

sellers, buyers and spectators. The oil

news posted daily on the boards of the

Exchange are eagerly scanned from

morning to night by hundreds of visit-

ors. Louisville is finally on the "oil

map” and every one most enthusiastic

about the future outlook for further oil

developments in Kentuck>'.

XEHA REFIXERY READY TO OPERATE. XIXE-.MILE PIPE I.IXE WILL BE IX OPERATIOX BY

The Xcha Refinery, located at' Compton Junction, is now completed and ready for the oil and by the fifteenth the nitte-mile pipe line w ill have

been completed to Big Sinking and active operation begun with a capacity of from eight hundred to oite thousatid barrels of oil jur day of 24 hoitrs.

As will be seen from the above photograph, the Xeha is a most modern plant in every way, being constritctcd of stee] and concrete throughout.

The company has its office and large living quarters for its skilled employes. The plant manager is (', M. Lamason, who has been brought up in the refin-

ing business and has several under him of the most skilled men in the petroleum refining indtistry, both in Pennsylvania and Canada.

The Neha was designed and built under the direction of W. J. Homer, who has perfected a process of distillation from actual laboratory prac-

tice, having perfected it step by step and from actual test run has made a larger yield.

With the operation of the Neha this will be the second plant constructed in the Kentucky field by Mr. Homer. The Xeha was financed in tlie

East by Olcott Payne & Co. Very litt'e stock is held in Kentucky.

The Merchants Oil Company, with

offices at No. 714 Inter-Southern

Building, Louisville, started this week

drilling on its J. I. Shelton lease, in Al-

ISn County, where they have 85 acres.

Mr. Wallace Lee, a well-known geolo-

gist, went over this tract, and reported

most favorably as to same. The same

company has a deal pending now by

which they will take over acreage in

the Gainesville pool.

Iilaiie work, etc., etc. During the year 1918 :i grand total of 24,948 wells were comjiletcd iti the oil fields of the United v^tates.

Besides all these oil problems, Mr. This is almost the highest record, being exceeded only in 1913 when the eompletions were 25.207, and'iarfield's problems in coal and Mr. Me- greater by 2.593 than the number conijileted in 1917. In making nii this sum total Kcutuckv made aAdoo'.s problems in transportation were most excellent showing.

The reason is not far to seek. The oil ^.ral belief tlitit 1919 will he the banner year in the history of oil development in Kentucky,business was init in the haiuh of the

It was brought out during the pa.sl week jn a law suit in Louisville that the Eastern Kentucky

ris County, Texas, for the purpose of

electing a board of directors for the

management of the business of the

company for the coming year and any

other business which may come before

the meeting.

Last August a notice was sent out for

the annual meeting, but after the notice

was mailed, it was discovered that the

by-laws of the company provided for

the first annual meeting of the stock-

holders to be held on the second Tues-

day of January 1919, and on same day

each year thereafter.j

The company was organized almost

in the middle of the calendar ^ar, but

it was thought best to hold the annual

meetings just after tlie close of the

year, therefore, the first annual meet-

ing for the election of a board of di-

rectors, and the transaction of any

other business which may come before

the meeting, will he held at time above

stated.

It is stated that on account of the

fact that Mr. Hoffman has not been able

in the past, and cannot in the future,

devote any of his time to the business

of the Kentucky company, and because

of the further fact that the Hoffman

Oil Company of Kentucky wishes the

active efforts of its principal officials, it

is probable that some man in Kcntuckv-

January 11, 1919. Lexington, Ky.—THE OIL WORLD—Louisville, Ky. 5

During This Year is President

Tomb’s Forecast and He Asks

Recognition From Bankers.

"I liope that tlie hankers of Lexing-

ton will investigate the oil industry and

its vast resources, as evidenced in the

extensive production of the Eastern

Kentucky oil fields tributary to this

city, and be willing to extend to the

oil men the same, financial recognition

that they extend to the farmers .and to-

bacco growers, who ask for loanss to

finance their crops.

“The oil men are producers of real

wealth, as mticii as the tobacco grow-

ers, and considering that the oil pro-

duction of the Kentucky oil fields will

amount from $18,000,000 to $20,000,000

this year, I believe the bankers will

find the oil men as safe a risk as the

tobacco men in the matter of loans."

This was the statement of President

K. 15 . Tomb, of the Kentucky Oil Men’s

Association at the round table luncheon

of that organization at the Phoenix Ho-

tel last Saturday, which was attended

by nearly too prominent oil operators

and representative business men, and

which proved to be one of the best

meetings of the association in a long

time.

I’rcsident Tomb related how a few'

days ago he attended the annual meet-

ing of the United Commercial Travel-

ers at Masonic Temple, and one of the

speakers made the statement that the

tobacco crop of the Hluegrass this year

would net the growers a|)proximately

$15,000,000. The speaker, he said, ex-

patiated on the extent of the tobacco

crop and what this ])roduction meant to

the material wealth and prosperity of

1-exington, and incidentally mentioned

the fact that when a group of tobacco

men desired to borrow $175,000 from

the local banks to finance their crop

they had t?o trouble in securing the

money.

Commenting on this circumstance.

President Tomb said that the new

wealth created by the oil men now

tion, has been sadly neglected. In the

Bluegrass, of course, where the soil is

rich, and it was only necessarj- to tickle

the ground, the returns had been satis-

f.actory, .and this fecundity had perhaps

spoiled the natives, lulling them in the

lap of peace and plenty, and makingthem indififerent to the hidden resources

of the mountain sections of the State.

He said that he was glad to know that

enterprising men, with brains, energy

and money, had come from other States

to Kentucky to “help us find our;elves,”

and that their coming had inaugurated

a new era of development which prom-ises great things for the future of the

Old Commonwealth. He voiced a

hearty welcome to the new comers, andsaid that Lexington citizens are awaken-ing to the fact that untold wealth in

oil, coal and timber lie right at our

!

doors. In conclusion he pledged hearty

support and co-operation to the oil menof Kentucky .and to the activities of the

association.

Mr. Boggs, the other speaker, ex-

pressed his pleasure at being back in

Lexington and again being able to meetwith the “knights of the round table.”

He told of his tr.avels in the West .and

Southwest and how the oil developmentin those sections of the country is tak-

ing on renewed activity. He called at-

tention to the fact that in several of the

oil fields of Kansas, Oklahoma andouisiana, where the initial development

NO CHANGE IN PRICESFOR OIL WELL SUPPLIES

lITe StrandPITTSBURGH, Jan. 3. - Little

change in the prices of oil well sup-

plies, is to be expected in the near fu-

ture, according to the estimate of the

situation contained in a circular that has

been sent out to the trade by the Oil

Well Supply Company.

The circular points out that reserve

stocks of oil field equipment are lower

at present than is usual at this season

of the year, and that while the raw ma-

terials are more easily obtainable since

the signing of the armistice, the price

of labor still continues high with little

chance for any immediate reduction.

The circular says:

"l.:ibor is not prepared to accept a

lower scale until food products reach

a lower level. If America is to feed

a large part of the world we cannot

expect much reduction in food costs for

some time to come. If the warring

world wanted oil it is just as true that

the working world wants oil and the de-

mands lor supplies with which to orig-

in:ite and maintain production will keep

in line with the existent facilities for

furnishing supplies. Deliveries will

constantly get better.”

The Big Bird well at Wolfcoal,

Breathitt County, has attained great no-

toriety not only at home but abroad. AParis (France) edition of The Xew^'ork Herald, has a glowing account of

the well. The article, however, was

"off a few miles,” as it had the well

right in the heart of Jackson, Kentucky,

and further stated it was producing

1,000 barrels of oil a day. This all goes

to prove that if the people of France

wish reliable oil news from the United

States, it will pay them to “kick in”

with a thrce-dollar bill for a subscrip-

tion to Till; Oil IFoRi.n. This admoni-

tion likewise applies to the natives

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 27.-In'

assuming the office of Secretary of the

Treasury, I desire to say a few words

to the American people and particularly

to the splendid organizations of men

and women whose unselfish labors, un-

der the leadership of my great predeces-

sor have made the story of our war

finance one of the most glorious chap-

ters in the history of America’s part in

the war finance one of the most glorious

chapters in the history of America’s

part in the war. Millions of Americans

have contributed in the most vital, tan-

gible and necessary way to the winning

of the war. They have loaned their

dollars to their country with no small

sacrifice of personal comfort and enjoy-

ment and have given largely of personal

effort and service. For all time we have

disproved the standard that Americans

arc money-loving people, incapable of

rising above materialistic things. In the

eighteen short months of the war the

American people subscribed for $18,-

000,000,000 of Liberty Bonds and WarSavings certificates. The banking insti-

tutions and the people of the country

financed the requirements of the w ar in

anticipation of the Liberty Loans and of

the taxes for the fiscal year ended June

30, 1918, by the purchase of a total of

$12,500,000,000 of treasury certificates of
