ticle in Ibis morning's Tltuavill Courier.
whlob It our opinion Is a correot solution of
the question of over-prodoclloo, and lb
revedte to be wed to decrease the produc
tion. After oatrylug out his statements by
fact ead figure, Mr. Patterson concludes
a follows, which w commend to tbe care
ful perusal ol oar oil men:
If my figure are right tbey prove at leaat
tbat w spend too much money for tbe oil
we get Nothing new or starring lo that,
lor It would be hard lo oonvinoe old opera
tor, tbat tbp average cost of getting a bar
rel Of oil into ft Pipe Line tank, Is lea than
f 1 per barrel. If so, tbe loo ger we eootlo
e the business, lb poorer a community
w gtl. How remedy lit Raise lb value
of our oil.; How to do that li the problem.
If my figure and ooncluiloo are right, then
butting dowo pumping well oanoot be
art of n well founded future plan, bee ma
it Is an Injaatlo lo lb many for lha benefit
of the law, la other word, a large number
of men having producing walls, most stop
their production becaua very small sum
tor an lo ft producing well and ale be
producer. Tbere are al least two practic
able plans I. a. to submit to your judgment
nd by your direction, either stop drilling
tor ft specified Hat or to stop new work for
given lime. For general future plan, if
w eould toll! all present producer, and
scare oarselves again! tba influx of outs
Id capital and operatprs, who would oper
ate only during our MMpeoaioo, no belter
plan than the latter ha ever been uggeted
to my knowledge. But 1 think I bave
down that we have beeo lo debt, are still,
nd are increaalog our debt just the coat of
the 391 well we had drilling September. 1,
and the 1M we bud commenced on that day
will be finishing all through the winter
moolbr. A ft present remedy I (advocate
lbs stoppage vf all drilling until m your
Judgement It (bould be returned. It coalt
nothing will work as Immediate remedy f
