The diversity, .importance and suc­ cess of the public utility undertak­ ings controlled by the Cities Service Combany are realized by British in­ vestors itexestsed in American enter­ prises, but it is doubtful whether the company’s huge holdings in oil and natural gas fields are adequately un­ derstood. I t is realized here, for ex­ ample, that the Cities Service Com­ pany, through its subsidiary, the Era pire Company and associates thereof, is the largest producer of. high-grade, refutable oils in the world; th a t it transports not only a large part of its oVn oils, but.'purchases and trans ports and sells large quantities of crude from producers to outsider re­ finers? Lack of knowledge on this side is, however scarcely. surprising. seeing that even a discriminating party' of .leading American bankers, brokers and leading oil experts who recently made a tour of inspection, of proper­ ties owned and operated by Cities Service subsidiaries confessed that what they saw greatly transcended ex pectation. . . Amazingly Rapid Progress. : They •certaiftiy *v t*ie not prepared to* see sue!, achi-vemexjts as their visit revealed, fo r the progress* of the Empire groupe. has been amazingly rapid. From small beginnings in Butler County, Kansas ( five years a- go the .Empire,' which originally own­ ed but one natural gas company, has expanded until its total title and lease holdings in the United States and Mexico are ?ifl excess of >4,432,000 acres. Thirteen states are .represen ted in the American total—namely KUnias, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mex­ ico, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska Arkansas, Colorado, California; Lou­ isiana,-Alabama and Mississippi. The groppe also has1natural gas produc­ tion and distribution interests in Ohio New York State and Canada where the properties also yield oil in small; quantities.' - The lease holdings of the Empire Company mostly have been acquired well in advance of development prac­ tically Without cost other, than th e expense of.geological surveys and the taking of the leases. ’ The leases are taken for a period of from five to ten years, or as long as oil o rg a s a r is produed in paying qutantitleS. They are a t one-eighth'royalty, for oil anc from pne hundred fo two-hundred dol­ lars annually fo r each gas well, while the gas used off the premises. The rental charges paid annually in lieu of drilling are exceptionally low. All leases are free from drilling obliga­ tions, and can be surrendered a t any time, a t the option of the company h! for- any reason such action seems ad visable. From the 000 oil wells of the groupe in 1918 the output amounted to 17 032,700 barrels and from0 the 2000 gas wells a daily average of 94,920, 000 cubic feet was produced. Purchas- es from other companies amounted to 13,800 barrels of oil daily and 24,805 000 cubic feet of gas. The available market for the supply of natural gas is represented by 90 towns and cities, having a combined population of a million and a quarter, and the main 'pipe line system in Northern Oklaho­ ma, Kansas, and Mississippi covers an acerage equal to the land area of England, Wales and a great part of Scotland., Kanses Properties. Butler connty Kansas, where the Empire Company started operations is now an oil field of great import­ ance, its- average daily production in 1913 being in excess of 100,000,0<K barrels. The Empire alone producer more than one-third of tha t total, and a t the end. Of December last owned 1408 producing wells there. Now the company is .conducting a*gigantie drilling campaign in the vicinity and new wells are all the while being; added. But the scope of the- Empire enterprises in Kansas is not limited to Butler county, for tHe company has secured areas in other counties probably the deepest producing well E Y E S Examined Currently Glasses Fitted* . t AT MODERATE PRICES .

Indeed, the oil subsideraries of the Cities Ser­ vice Company own more acerage in the state of Texas alone than any oth er interest, with one exception, and the ac&rage is so located that, where- ever oil is found, the Empire compan ie3 will have adjciriir.g acerage. • Texas Oilfiields. The Texas oilfields are divided into three groups—the North, North Cen­ tral and Gulf Coast fields. The first two aren now usually classed together as "North Texas" and the total pro­ duction in that region is, approxi mately 163,500 barrels per day. in the United States today. In Starr and Zapata counties, adjoining the Mexican harder, those interests have acquired 335,000 acres of oil and lease Showings of oil have already been encountered and natural gas in com­ mercial quantities has been found. A still futher successful development is looked for, Empire holdings on the coasted district of Texas comprise a- bout 35,000 acres, On holdings in Lib­ erty Counties two tekt Wells are being drilled, and while th f recent tour of inspection was in progress it was re­ ported that one of them had begun to produce about 100 barrels.

The Oklahoma interests of the Em­ pire group are very important and in the "Osage” (old Indian reservation) 549,300 acres of gas and oil, held un­ derlease, are producing 1500 barrels There, the chief productive fields in- of oil and 23,815,000 ft, of gas. daily, elude the Petrolia and Burkbumett The Osage is looked upon by oil men areas.

In Comanche'county, operated by the companies. also in North Texas, an Empire sub- siderary owns leases slightly in ex­ cess of 22,000 acres. These holdings have been spoken of by many opera­ tors as the most valuable held by any company in the district. In Brown County Empire interests are engaged Great and Varied Activities. The enormous and varied activities of the Empire group include produc­ tion, refining, transportation and mar keting. Supplementary to what has already been said concerning their activities, it is well worth citation 5ft d l recovery, marketing and refin-* Ithat the Empire companies, which mg.

Indeed the operations of the Cities Service Company's Empire subsidar- ies are on. so great a ’scale, So varied and so wide-ranged, th a t it is impos­ sible to-deal with their ramifications in a merely superficial survey. Their interest and importance, however are naturally commanding - great and growing attention in the United State where the development of new and promising oilfields has become a vital national concern,, —Mr. Henry L.
