FIND REAL
GAS SAND
AT LINDSAY

The cave-in az the test well Of the
Cnickasha Development company
drilling at Lindsay was cleaned out
yesterday, disclosing the fact that in
stead OF a pocket OF gas, the gas was
evidently from a stratum OF gas sand
which the bit penetrated just as the
caye-in occurred.
On account Of this fact it was inn
possible al that time to procure a
sample Of the sand and II was thought
that the gas had come from a pocket
and had in part caused the caye-in.
The drilling is now through the red
beds, and with casing down to solid
drilling. they are now at a depth Of
about SEQ feet in a blue shale forma-
ton The same formation was evil
dent at practically the same depth IN
the Healdton field. which fact the
drillers point to as at least a good
omen.
