Late advices received from well
No. 2 drilled by the Red River OIL
Company in the Healdton field state
that the well is gushing oftener than
yesterday, that every indication points
to its being a bigger we'll than well
No. l, but owing to a pressure of three
,tmillions of cubic feet of gas it is i'm
| pos to determine what quantity
Of o.. = well will produce when
it settles down. The drill reached
only the first sand and as soon as new
piping arrives, the oil and gas of the
first sand will be shut off and the well
drilled to the second sand which will
be reached few feet less than 900.
The first sand was encountered shall
lower by a few feet than the first
sand in well No. /.
Main Pool Found.
When the Apple Franklin well was
brought in some weeks ago in the
Healdton field Ian oil man was heard
to make the remark, This well may
be a freak, it may be the only one
found Wait until the second well is
drilled and if it reveals oil, then we
will know we have a field The Sec
ond well has been drilled, the sand was
reached at lesser depth by a few
feet, and the oil gushed in greater
quantities and it is believed to be a
better well. Then well number one
was not freak, Carter county is the
home of the oil pool of the southwest
portion of the state and there will be
scores of new rigs in he field as
quickly as they can be placed there.
Well No. is almost in the center
of section As, 3w, and well No. 2
is nthe southeast quarter of the |
southeast quarter of section or about |
one-half mile from the first well.
when the first sand was reached the |
oil gushed so feet above the earth,
and it spouted oil much more fire.
quently than the first WELL
The result will be a very rapid de-
velopment of the field, the oil is of
a very fine quality, the wells are shall
low compared with some of the other
fields of the state the drilling is COM
paratively easy and the development
of the field will be rapid. All doubts
concerning the field have been re-
moved. Absolute confidence prevails
and the entire county will be bene-
flied immeasurably by the strike and
will the western part of
the county flourish.
Will Build Ardmore.

the home of the supply houses and
