good bet that It will. Az the World
man came by late yesterday this test
was drilling at 730 feet, In limy for
nation, and making good progress.
East Of II half mile, IN the same
corner OF the adjoining lGO-ncre al
lotment g, J, Wrightsman, this week
has moved IN with a machine and
apparently II planning to get started
40 once. II is on the Wesley little
head farm.
John Winemiller and II. G, James
got the other duster, in the north
west corner OF the north half Of the
northwest quarter, Wilson Bigpond
farm, section 81, 1913. II got the
Glenn sand at 1876 feet and. for a
few exciting moments.A looked like
another Wicey. Al i,7A It was
drowned out by salt water. However
there was sand nj from l,lS0 TO lao
feet that. while showing very little oil,
looked worthy Of shot; and this will
be placed today, II Is understood
Apparently the west is cut off

considered, this hole is deep enough
to get the sand today If It falls like
the Mogul test. which is south and a
little east, there are few who Will care
to test the west acreage farther.
II is generally hoped that the Mogul
company viii make a deep test. The
company has timbers on the ground
just "A location north of it, evidently
planning To offset the AneX well. It
seems hardly possible that this, too,
could be a duster; but no one could
have asked better shot than the
west Offset to the Wicey
South Of the Wicey NO l, the Tam
many on companys rig is up in the
northeast corner Of the Susan White
50 acres. The dope here is all with
the location, and It most certainly
should be drilled.
The Wilson OH company. however,
which has timbers on the ground just
half "A mile east OF the Wicey farm,
on the Grace Bruner plans to move
the location to the far northwest
corner Of the lease, which would
seem to improve the prospect little.
TO get figures that are undeniably
correct on the various depths at
which sands were reached in the three
principal tests, is hardly possible,
But the World man found the owners
obliging and would stake a good bit
on their correctness.
The Wicey No. went through II
cap rock formation and at 1870 feet
got pay sand. This was about two
months ago. Two feet in the sand the
hole filled up with oil and made sew
eral good flows. Next day II was
flowing beautifully and making more
than half "A tank a day. About two
weeks later the owners drilied II two.
feet deeper and doubled the flow,
which started off at very close to 400
barrels. Since that time it has
stayed" like relative on a visit and
has averaged in the last week more
than 800 barrels a day.
The Wlcey No. 2 got 10 feet OF pay
some days ago that the No. land
the Annex No. I. as well-missed. The
top Of 1t was at 1,675 feet Below il
was the same cap rock-taking for
granted that 1t was the same--that
the No. 1 encountered before getting
the pay, When the World man left
the ground yesterday it was drilling
in this shale. The 10 feet OF pay was
good. and showed for a paying well;
but the owners are pinning their
faith on the regular sand which. it
seems probable, lies-as in the No. 1
below this slate formation.
Yesterday the Annex test finished
driving out the packer which had
been stuck for three days in the bot
tom Of the hole, and cased. The drill
ers, however, are waiting for new
line that they expect today. The hole
Is about 1,677 feet deep-with two
feet of pay penetrated. The rig is
black with oil and the ground for a
rod around Is covered with it, for. it
