In Sundays Ardmoreite the Hern-
stadt well in the northeast of sec
ton 6, an Offset to the Crosbie well,
was reported in. The item should
have stated the Gunsburg-F Forman in
stead of the lIernstadt well. Both
of these wells are drilling side by
side. Both are offsets to the Crosbe
well, and offsets to each other hence
the error in reporting them.
The two companies which owned
the Whittle we'll near Wilson failed
to agree upon the question of deeper
drilling, and the well will be aban-
doned at a depth of 1000 feet. The
rortion of the company who desired
to do deeper drilling will drill another
we'll nearer Ardmore, and as soon
as the location is made, it will be
reported.

for pneumatic tires, comes from Brit
