stopped in salt water sand at 1916
feet.
McMan Oil company drilled a well
la short distance north of the Healdton
Field well. The exact depth cannot
be stated now, but it was little below
1000 feet
II. =. Nichols drilled two wells to
the northeast of the Healdton field
well, but they we're probably not drill
ed deep enough to catch the sand.
1t is certain that other wells will be
drilled near them, as that territory
looks much better now than it has
looked since those wells were drilled
in.
An interesting feature of the Heald-
ton Field well is the fact that it had
no salt water. Harris-Strawn No. 8
well located in the same section and
not very far away, had salt water
and found an oil sand at 1856 feet,
below the salt water. This sand was
plugged off with the salt water sand
as it Would have been a difficult mat
ter TO have saved il belor the water.
Another Harris-Strawn well located
nearby reached the pay sand at 500
feet and was drilled TO a total depth
of 1917 feet.
The Ardmoreite some weeks ago
called attention to the fact that the
north row OF wells drilled by the Har-
ris-Strawn company was a better set
of producing wells than those in the
south row. This company figured that
1t had an edge lease and it crowded
The south line in order to get pay
sands. 1t looks probable now that
the north side of the lease will pro-
duce more oil than the south side.
Men who have studied the situation
are of the opinion tnat It is new
sand, that 1t extends to the north and
that it will add much wealth to the
field. That it extends north is an opin-
ion based upon the fact that it did
not have the salt water sands found
south and west of It. Four hundred
feet to the southwest salt water was
found at 1116 feet.

HAS BIG PROMISES
No Salt Water Was Found in New
Healdton Field Well.

Some new features have developed
this week at Healdton which have
added materially to the interest there.
The big feature is the new sand in
section 1888 found by the Healdton
Field Oil company. The steel line
has not been run on the well and re-
ports are just little conflicting as
to the depth TO the top OF the sand.
One report gives the depth at 1912,
one st 1925 and one at 1850. How
ever. that is not material, as it is
known to be a little below 1900 feet
and 1t is also known to be a new sand
and one that is making oil of a high
er gravity than the average Healdton
oil.
The Rocco well in the southwest
corner Of the northwest Of the north
east of 3-4-3 drilled by George Parton
had an oil showing at 1900 feet but
had frequent water sands and was

Healdton development surrounds the

production is said to be about $50

d. w. Michaels left here today for
Oklahoma City. From there he will
go to Kansas where Mrs. Michaels is
visiting and after being joined by her
they will go to their home in Califor
mia. Mr.. Michaels has done a great
deal of work at Healdton in figuring
out the geological conditions, and he
is thoroughly of the opinion that the
will turn like a river and
run toward the northeast. including
the Watchorn we'll in section 7.4-2,
which is now at 1859 feet. He states
that geological conditions favor such
a turn of the sands.

GEOLOGY|S
RECOGNIZED
AS SCIENCE
AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS
HEARS HOW CONDEMNED Ac-
REAGs is RESTORED TO REC
ORD PRICES.

Chicago Nov. 15.-Oil and gas are
found in nearly every formation in
the entire geological series porus
enough to contain ii, but profitable
commercial deposits are found only
when the formation containing them
is enclosed within an impervious
stratum of rock or shale, usually the
latter. ]. c. Mcdowell, president of
Pittsburg gas and fuel company told
the American Mining Congress this
afternoon. In part he said:
probably the most successful ap-
plication of geology TO gas and oil
production is that of the last few
years in the mid-continent field in
Kansas and Oklahoma. 1t is safe to
say that during 1856 several mil
lion acres OF land have been leased
there, and strange to say not only
has Kansas acreage been brought
back into demand after years of alb
solute condemnation as worthless for
oil and gas purposes, by practically
all Of the larger producers, but re
cord prices for undeyelOped leases
are now being paid in that territory.
This condition has been brought about
by discoveries made on a strictly
scientific basis and by men who had
faith in the corrections OF the anti
clinal theory"

Kansas oil and gas pools as good

Production.
The most active company in the
Healdton field is the Extension Oil
company, which is one of the latest
companies organized. The company
is completing today very pretty well.
It is located in the northeast corner
.of the northwest forty acres Of the
northeast quarter of 24-4-3. 1t Is the
company's No. | well and Is being
drilled by 10y Chldress. 1t is di-
rect offset to the west of the Humble
well on the Tubbee farm and is a dag
onal offset to Ridenour- Baker No. l.
The sand was reached at 1O45 feet
and was drilled to total depth OF
about 1105 feet. The well is flowing
and it looks good for a production of
from $50 to 300 barrels. This com
pany's No. well on the same Mabley
tract is located one location to the
west of No. ! and is drilling at
depth between 500 and 700 feet. Les
ter Adams has this drilling contract.
Lester Adams is also rigging up for
another well in the southwest of the
northwest quarter of "a on the same
tract. The company's Offset to the
Fort Ring well in 23-4-3 has been com
pleted. 1t was drilled on the Lille
Wilson farm of twenty acres. 1t had
80 feet of sand and has a production
of from 75 to 100 barrels, and foca-
ton has been made for another well
on the same lease The company has
steel tank in section 22-4-3 and is
running its production to storage.
