best best information obtained the

finding of any large quantities of oil
IN the Big Injun sand in this region
was quite surprise to me, since
previous drilling in almost every di-
rection from this region has shown
this formation to be very limey and
broken containing very little good

has always been based upon the pos
sibility of finding it in the same sand
as that in which the Woodford and
Edwin wells found gas, which, by
the way, is the same as the Jarvis.

has recently proved so productive
on the Judge Golf and other farms

was encountered in well drilled
several years ago on the Summers
farm. five miles east of Weston, and
it then held small quantity of oil.
These facts show that the sand in
question has a wide distribution in
