has been attracting some attention
from the talent for several days, was
drilled in yesterday, but as it has been
caving very little can be heard from
it as regards the amount of oil it is
making. There is not the least doubt
but that it will make a good big we'll
and as a result there will be large
amount of new work started over there
in a few days.

ed the eastern half of the Reishman
farm, and are making preparations to
drill it as soon as possible. This part

drilled on the Edwards by Orcutt &
Co., in the same direction and only a
