The Texas oil fields look (rood
Andy Hoey, former Nenanaite, who
disposed of his interests here several
months ago and left for the South,
where he is now “hotfooting it
around the oil fields,” as he ex
presses it in a letter addressed to
W. L. Packer.
“This is certainly the greatest
game in the world,” Hoey writes.
“Talk about money! Say, Bill, I
never saw so much in all my life.
You see old mossbacks here, worth
all the way from $50,000 to $600,
000, dressed in overalls and sitting
on the curb whittling, and chewing
tobacco. They all have ground for
lease, and when you ask them how
much they take to lease five acres,
they tell you all the way from $500
to $6,000 per acre, and they don’t
care whether you take it or not.
You must pay that amount on each
and every acre every year. They
! can’t say anything less than $5,000.
“Business lots in these mushroom
|towns are worth all the way from
i $3,000 to $100,000 per, and most
lots are 30x130 feet. I have got
tangled up with a few little real
estate deals, and if things break
right I should mop up a little. T
have one lease now on a piece of
property here that I have had onlv
three weeks, and I can get $1,800
bonus to let it go. All told, I have
(nothing to kick on since I have been
jhere. Right now, if I wanted to
'let go, I would be ahead over
j $2,500, and I have been here only
i about a month.
j “I have a little stuck into oil
(property here also, but I am not
| going to go very strong on that
stuff. Still, 1 think it is all right
•to gamble a little.”
He tells of having invested in oil
stocks which had dropped to $3 a
share, following the sinking of two
“dry” holes, and at the time of
!
j writing the stock had advanced to
$30. He says he cleaned up about
! $700 on the deal, and expresses re
|gret that he did not buy more
(heavily.
] At the time of writing, Andy was
j located at Sipe Springs.
