DOUBLE SHIFTS ON THE
CARTER WELL MONDAY
AFTER MI CHI TROUBLE,
DRILLING HAS AGAIN
BEGUN IN EARNEST

Reports coming from the Ohio Mil
Ter test well near Orlando, is to the
effect that traces of oil sand have
been found at depth of less than
1000 feet. The drillers and operators
are keeping close council and nothing
definite can be ascertained, but the
fact that the promoters of the oil com
pany are out in tlSe field quietly TAX
ing leases in that neighborhood is in
dieatNe that something is doing.
Work is steadily progressing on
the Carter test northeast of Guthrie.
Practically all trouble has now been
surmounted and the drill is actually
biting for the first time in two months.
Under the new management there has
been much trouble. First baler was
lost, then the entire set of tools were
lost in the hole and then the casing
collapsed and that necessitated the
pulling of the S-inch casing; when
that was accomplished IL was found
that the first string of 10-inch casing
had become detached and it was nes-
essary to make a iointure, when that
was done the "bull-wheel," whatever
that is, broke and that required time
to rectify. But the trouble is over
and results are now expected.
When drilling was stopped ''for
want of funds" by the Cimarron Val
ley company several months ago, the
drill was working in black, oily
sand that looked mighty good to the
drillers 81 am betting dollars to
said Nose Weinberger,
who knows every foot of the wells log
that oil will be struck within 2SOO
feet"
The No. One Oil Company, that has
charge of the drilling, has spent more
than $4,000 since taking hold of the
work. One accident followed anoth-
er and it seemed that nothing could
be accomplished. But hard work and
the substituting of high class work
men for the incompetents that first
had charge has pulled the well from
almost certain abandonment to basis
that has every appearance of being
very sound. seH
Il figure that it will take so days Of
actual drilling to finish the well to
32s0 feet" said Mr.. Murdock who has
charge for the Haskell interests. Oil
was struck in the well at 1900 feet,
out not in quantity sufficient to justi-
y the company in stopping. "The
fact that oil was struck is proof pos
tive that oil in paying quantities un-
lerlies this county and explodes the
