Several Wells Reached the Sand, But
They Are Not Showing Big.
PRODUCTION OFF 1000 BARRELS;
Butler Operators Are Developing Wells
in That Territory.
HARMOyY'S OUTPUT is 5000 BARRELS

Mcdonald McCurdy field. None of those
which reached the sand are exhibiting
rvmptoms of the old gusher class. The
territory, however, is spreading out and
there is no doubt but that months from now
wells will be drilled which will be good for
from 800 to 800 barrels day.

dropped LOCO barrels. Only two of the wells
which are given in the list below showed
