that the we'll drilled in in the Jackson

by Barnsdall & Co., which was reported
last week to be good for 1000 barrels
day, has been drilled deeper into the
sand and will probably be good for $50
barrels.
A few days ago the Sun Oil Com
pany's No on the Adds farm, in the
northeast extension Of the Elk Fork
pool, was drilled into the pay and was
reported big gasser. The well was
not drilled deep into the sand, and
since that time has been drilling itself
in on account of the heavy gas press
ure 1t is now much deeper in the
sand and it is believed that it will make
an oil producer. A gentleman who
came in from the well last evening
stated that it was spraying considerable
oil and some salt water and he be-
lieved that the well would make fair
producer.
