Bartlesville, Okl. March 24-1919,
Had breakfast here and then visited the Empire
Co's building to see Mr. Supers on drill in relation to the
well record samples. Of nearly all the wells a record
is kept, but their main use of value is geology, rather
for other purposes. Mr. Trajer does the work in determining
some minerals as mica, pyrite, feldspars,
the lithology and chemistry of the logs. Has a laboratory within
own. In another lab, all the waters are analyzed and there
is a great variety, and at the same time a constant hot in relation
to the atmospheric springs. The recording system in McCups
department is elaborate and of thousands of orders.
At 2.30 P.M. started out on a large auto to the D.E.
to geology about Brushcreek. In the party are McCoy, Supers,
Byers and Trajer, a daffy young lot of geologists. From
Bartlesville we went via Ramona to Peru, Collinsville to
Claremore where we put up for the night at the Mason Hotel.
We started down in the Pennsylvanian section: beginning
(length 10') (length 10')
with the Derry Ln. and then the Hargroth. The former
(about 10')
in a thick persistent horizon. Then came the Lenapah,
a widely persistent zone.
followed by the "Big Lime" of the drillers or the Oologah.
The latter made a peak cliff down which we descended
to the First Fort Ln. the last one seen this afternoon.
In the Oologah we saw some Composita, Martini,
sixteen Comphryllum or Lophophyllum and crinoidal M.
