az the contractors to go, and. Judging
i5m the fact that they are now, down
In feet with the eight-lnch, i Is rea-
ohable to estimate TINT the well can be
Mad TO n depth of 300 or 1900 feet with
q and certainty The Chicago Crude Oil
|nnony Is composed of Texas capitalists
Ia are we'll known. and they have pur
sbslderable money into the company, while

nation Of any well In the field to ge' oil
ia well is about 1900 feet north Of the
