Field Work.
The initial test Of the Red River
Oil Co. on the Franklin farm, in sec
ton s, township south, range 3 west,
will be put on the beam as soon as
the power is completed, Two or three
attempts were made to pump the well,
but owing to the fact that the gas
had been drowned out and that fuel
for the gas engine was not available,
these efforts were unsuccessful. The
well was then agitated and made sew
eral flows. A gas trap has been put
in place, and it is believed that no
further trouble will be experienced in
pumping. The second test of the
same company, on the Mcclure farm, in
the southeast corner of section ).

about 100000 feet of gas and it is
