pumps today (Tuesday); tonight we
are bridging the bottom of the hole
with cement and will finish that to-
morrow Wednesday,. We are doing
that to make the we'll safe. Last
fall, when the former drillers' land
ed their 6-inch casing, they did not
take the precaution of cementing it
and shutting off the water, for they
had just passed through a large
strata of water, but merely set the
casing on shell. We are afraid that
that water might break through the
shell and work it's way down the hole
to the oil formation and ruin the
well, so we are spending several
hundred dollars now to place this
cement and protect the hole.
.&E Week or 10 Days Yet.
ut will take week or 10 days for
the cement to settle, so we can drill
it out at the bottom and then go into
the oil formation with dry hole
and test ont the production. We
shall personally be more than happy
if the well does not produce more
than 10 barrels day, for that will
put this state on the oil map as hav-
ing oil in commercial quantities.
"This we'll 10 down only about
2,100 feet. The biggest wells in Cal
ifornia are at depth of $500 to
400 feet. We cannot go down that
far with this we'll, but it will soon be
proved by my company or my asso-
ciates or some other company, start
ing with the sized hole that will
permit them to go 5000 feet or
better. what porduction there may
be at that depth.
1--WE want you to share our satis-
faction over the prospects at the
Crescent. Few people realize what
oil development will mean to this
state or this community Let me tell
you this: l have an arrangement
now with some of my California
friends-they have visited the we'll
and are lin Seattle now--to under
take, as Boon as this we'll comes in,

them $4,000 AANs " &3 ~ -

in conclusion. "After we open the

PETR0GRAD CLAIMS SUCCESS
Says Teutons Have Been Pushed

Fears for Kovel Allayed,
It Is Reported.

LONDON, August 1o.-A
further advance on the part of
the German army, which is at
tempting to capture the important
Russian fortress of Brest-Litovsk,
was announced in Berlin officially
today. The statement says that
outer positions of the fortress
near Rokitno. before Brest-
Litovsk, were penetrated.
Announcement also was made
in Berlin of the capture of two
forts north of Novo Georgievsk,
which hac been invested by the
Germans for several days. In
taking these forts 1000 prisoners
and I25 cannon were captured.
Novo Georgievsk itself is in immi-
nent danger as the Germans con-
tinue to progress.
The German forces advancing
on Brest-Litovsk have defeated
the Russians near Biala, to the
west of the fortress, within range
of the guns of the stronghold,
while a short distance northwest
of the fortress the southern bank
of the River Bug has been cleared
of Russians, according to an
Austrian official communication.
Russian successes on the left
bank of the River Bug, where,
Petrograd claims, the Germans
have been pushed back southwest
of Voldava. and in the region of
observation-disclosures, have allayed
fears for Kovel (on the main rail-
road line between Brest-Litovsk
and Lutsk), although government
institutions already have been
withdrawn from the city.

Russian reports do not concede the
total loss of Kovno, asserting the Ger
mans have captured only the fortifica-
tions on the left bank of the Niemen.
while positions on the right bank are
still held by the defenders.
Russian forces still are holding forti-
lcations at Jesia. two and half miles
