without expecting to pass, bringing
the percentage Of those really olassed
as eighth graders up considerably
higher.

Since the drilling in Of the shallow
wells in southern Kansas, and the
great shallow production east Of the
Yirdigris river at Nowata. and the dis
coyery Of the high grade permanent
producing wells at Madnl. nothing has
SO excited and enthused the operators
as the remarkable strikes Of oil and
gas made during the past few days
east Of this town.
The last well drilled is nearly
mile from the great gas we'll in sec
ton 1856, which has attracted the
serious attention Of oil and gas men
everywhere. This last well is making
thirty barrels at S69 feet; the oil is
high grade and its gasoline content is
pronounced. c. +. Colcord, who, with
associates, is developing the district.
Sharp the driller, Galloway. the well
known oil operator, and other promi-
nent oil men. state that drilling will
be at once undertaken at various
other locations east Of town as fast
as rigs and material can be placed on
the ground Casing and other mater

men are here from many states and
from most Of the fields in Oklahoma.
d. J. Mccormick of Mt, Carmel, Pa,

located a rig in section S-2.7, and will
commence drilling this week. These
men are the owners Of the Antelope

1t appears that the oil and gas pro-

Of this town proves that there is an
area Of probable shallow production Of
