tested, in 21-3-2 and proves to be a
five-million gasser, and to have
rock pressure of 150 pounds. The
Watchorn well in section 6-4-3 has
rock pressure of $50 pounds. From
this it is observed that the rock
pressure of the wells in the Santa Fe

Healdton field. Prospects for a plen-
tiful supply of gas in Ardmore are
good
