Gypsy Oil company on the Matte
Morris lease in section 2S-2-3 is re-

The lost tools have been recovered
and three feet of hole have been
made since their recovery. This well
was reported several days ago at
1885 feet and that report ought to
have been corrected. However the
well is near the 1900 foot level and
it will be several days before it will
have reached the level of the gas

OPENS NEW OIL AREA.
Section 13 Has a Well one-haIf Mile
Ahead of Production,

Anedd or Pro0uctl0n.
The Producers Oil companys well
in section 13-4-3 bids fair to open up
another large area in the southeast
ern extension. An oil sand has been
found there and was drilled through
and the drill is on top Of another
sand at $40 feet and will be drilled
in today or tomorrow. One report
says the well is good for 80 barrels
even if another sand is not found and
a telephone report from the field says
that several bailers of oil were drawn
out and that the production cannot
be inteligently estimated until more
drilling Is done. To say the least of
the well it looks like it has extended
the field one mile to the east. The
location is in tn southwest corner of
section 13-43. II is exactly one half
mile east of the Westheimer G Daube
we'll on the south line OF section ID.
Several local people including Frank
Pruitt, Judge Champion and Shelton

1t is reasonable 10 presume that they
will have Healdton production now
within a short time. The southeast
extension is proving TO cover larger
area that many of the fraternity had
ever expected. while the wells are
not larger in the shallow sands yet
the area covered is large and it adds
millions of wealth to the field.
