more wells on the Thomas farm, all
of which will be started just as soon
as possible. There will be great
deal of drilling in avery short time,

FROM Mondays Daily. ''1'..' Il '@ 81,
The excitement regarding the
strike of McMullen & Shay and
the Carter Oil company in the
Maxton sand over at Elk Run is
still very great and there is quite a
lot oftalk about it, . It seems that
this territory is without doubt
the greatest freak that has ever
been opened up in the southwest.
In fact there are old operators
who say that they have never
known Of territory which; produced
Oil in paying, Quantities from So
many different sands, There have
been wells, drilled in, in.every one
ofthe sands; known in this, section
to be the Big Ibjuh in that territory
and in all all, o3f them good producing
wells have been the result, The
first start-of was the we'll drilled in
by Cummings & CO. on the Smith
farm in the Berea Grit. This well
was good one and a number OF
other wells were started. at once.rtA
short time afterward Shay & Nc
Mullen drilled a we'll on the Bohlen
lease and in this we'll they got a
flair show in the Keener sand .bt1t
