Better Things Promised.

The G. e. Burford well in section
1862 was on a cap rock at 1910
feet last night. 1t was drilled
through and salt water was found be-
meath. This well had a series of
fresh water sands and now since the
salt water has been reached it is be-
lieved that the water sands will dis
appear below the salt water. 1t is
believed the drill has reached the
level where the breaks will not APP
pear and formations more favorable
for oil will be entered. The well will
be drilled to a depth of at least 1000
feet

been sent by Secretary of State Lyon
to the registered voters of fifteen

FIELD STATISTICS.

Producing Wells and 49 rigs Up.

Producing Wells and 49 rigs Up.
During the month of June 102 wells
were completed at Healdton. Only
one well was abandoned. The field
has 1913 producing wells, 40 are drill
ling and SO rigs are up and building
The production is not far from 10000
barrels a day The number of com
pletions will be a surprise to the
oil fraternity as operations have been
slack. This is accounted for by the
fact that at the beginning of the
month number of wells were shut
down on top of the sand. Some OF
the drillers of these wells were pre-
pairing to move to Augusta and the
wells were drilled in to release the
tools. In April 107 wells were com
pleted, in May 90 and in June lO2.

price quoted by MT. Suzio sounded reasonable. He also suggested that a competent man be secured to make an appraisal of the machine. The last suggestion met with the approval of the city engineer, who was ordered to have the machine looked over by an expert and report submitted at the next meeting of the board. It was also recommended that a new set Of rollers be secured for the present roller at net price of $650. On recommendation of Chairman Hum- phrey it was voted to purchase steam asphalt and tar kettle from the Buffalo Steam Boiler Works company at $154.
