Guard Their Well

No authoritative report can be OBJ
tained from the well southeast of Ma
dill in section 7-7-7. The hole is full
of water and has showings of both oil
and gas. Casing has arrived to be
used in shutting out the water found
above the oil, and when the well is
clean, deeper drilling will be done.
This well is interesting because ii is
the first oil found around the 1000
foot mark in that section, The com
pany has been engaged on the well
about a year and some of its leases
were in bad shape when the oil show
ing was found. 1t is stated now that
the leases are in good shape and the
company is ready to complete the
test. The fact that as soon as the
strike was made, the news was sent
to Tulsa and the field was immedi-
ately invaded by scouts of the big
companies This is evidence that the
company thinks it has well. No
one is allowed to come near the well
and a reliable report cannot be oh,
tained.
Lee Hager, a celebrated petroleum
engineer, is in that field taking leases
1t is reported that he promises to be
gin immediate operation. Mr. Hager
is president of the Tidewater Oil Com.
pany and is well known in the oil
circles of every state. The fact that
he thinks well of Marshall county,
lends hope that a field will be brought
in there before the end of the cur
rent year.

Will Drill Near Ardmore

The Dubois Oil Company are haul
ing their rig on their location which
will be in the northeast quarter of
section 49, township four south, and
range one east, on the Gorman-Mc-
Carly farm.
These are the people who are going
after the $4,000 bonus from the City
of Ardmore, and their well is within
six miles Of the city limits.
Col. J. A. Puffinburg located this
well and will have the management
and control of it.
These people are financially able to
make a thorough test, and it is re-
liably reported that they intend going
to the depth of 5000 feet, if necessary.
They expect their rig to be completed
and hope to spud in by August first

When Cushing is Gone Most of Us

Gushing, with It's regularity of

he made his first oil investment, and
he has been successful in his opera
tions. The plans of the company
now are to put a rig on their leases
at once and ]. T. Jackson will have
charge of the drilling. Mr.. Jackson
is an old-timer in the business; he
is successful and practical oil man,

will be brought in there. Reports
state that the ArhucRle field is seep-
