Saratoga, Texas October 30-At this
writing the Hooks well has reached a
depth of 1913 feet They found rich
coarse oil sand at $40 feet, which they
drilled through to lime rock formation,
stopping at the depth Of 993 feet. The
purpose Of the company Is to develop each
oil stratum as they pass. AT S65 feet they
struck flow of oil and gas that caused
the recent blowout; the six-inch casing
was placed just above this stratum and
they have been trying to bail out the hole
above the S65.foot vein, but the excessive
pressure fills the casing with rock and mud
as soon as the drill pipe Is removed. The
casing between the six and nlne-inch casing
has been thoroughly packed at the casing
head to prevent the sand wash from filling
the oil Is forced up between the two and
through a small hole less than onefourth
OF an inch in diameter; through this hole
oil is forced out at the rate of six barre S

the well we'll In hand and II will no doubt
be brought in in due time and prove
gusher.

and report q find of about fifteen feet OF
rich oil sand, with fine quality of oil.
This field is beginning TO attract the at
tention of oil men all over the country.
