OF drilling was resumed Friday, at the

"ished" cut OF the well 70 the slow
method OF breaking it had to be resorted
TO. After that WAS successfully done
about thirty pounds Of the steel were
drawn out OF the well by the suction
pump. After the steel was pumped out
OF the well the work, OF drilling was re-
sumed and went along most satislartori-
ly until this morning, the drill working
beautifully through sand and shale, when
the l4-Ioot steel jars, weighing 200 lbs.
broke. As these jars had already been
welded three tines tie company has
decided to purchase new ones, and this
noon wired to San Francisco for new
set In the meantime a smaller set OF
jars on hand will be worked They will
not permit as rapid drilling bui vii serve
