size made just ready to start work
on his company's property. The drill
can go to great depth If thought
necessary. and it is probable the deep
est sands will be reached before they
cease work. Thus far the oil has
been found in shallow wells, and 1t is
safe to conclude that the lower sands
will yield a still greater flow. There
