from o5 to 1000 barrels day and one
group of five wells on section 38 have a
aow of 2,2OO barrels day. None of the
wells has been shot and II the opinion of
Ralph Arnold proves correct no pumping

The Midwest Company on June 20 had
eighteen flowing wells with total produc-
tion Of 1900 barrels day and was holding
its borings in check awaiting the COM
plction of additional storage and refining
capacity. The wells have been sunk
into the sand stratum about 100 feet on
the average. but in an effort to ascertain
the depth of the oil sand one drill was
sunk 247 feet without piercing the stratum.
How much thicker the oil zone may be
is matter Of conjecture only and the
geological experts say that a second oil
sand stratum will be found about $50 feet
below the first.
