Those who must make daily trips over
the road between Ardmore and the
field are impatient about the delay in
road work. This road carries a heavy
traffic and those who travel it are of
the opinion that the board of commits
sioners should be more diligent in
making repairs.
Harry B. Lamb is at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs A. j. Lamb, in
this city, suffering from burns which
he sustained in an unusual manner in
the fields He was on the Rose farm
Of the Magnolia and went into a small
room where the telephone is kept and
where the gasomoter is located. The
gasometer was leaking and the room
was full of gas when he entered but
he did not detect II by the smell and
was unconscious of his danger. He
rang the telephone bell to call central
and the telephone was short-circuited
and a spark occurred which ignited
the gas. Mr. Lamb was in the midst
Of the flames and sustained painful
burns about the face, hands and arms.
His eyes are not injured, he did not in
hale the flames. and while his fingers
are badly burned they viii not be per.
manently injured.
Carter.Love Oil company has reached
the pay in No. on the Johnson tract
in section 15-4.3, and the we'll is being
drilled in today.
Ardhoma Oil company No. 8, on the
Walker tract in section S.4-3, which has
been a difficult we'll TO drill, is being
completed and the company is being
repaid for its expense. The well was
drilled by 10y Childress. who kept at
his work until he now has II in good
shape. The drill entered a broken sand
eleven feet thick. at 1868. Lying under
this was a five-foot water sand and
beneath the water sand was another
oil sand. The total depth is 1894 feet.
The sand is of a pretty brown colcr
and the oil is OF n fine green quality,
which, the drillers say, is the finest in
that portion Of the field. For the reason
that there was no break between the oil
and water sands, the water could not be
plugged OFF. A two-inch tubing was in.
stalled and for three days and nights
the well made nothing but water After
that time the oil began TO come and
kept getting better until II is now good
for forty barrels, and the production
increases every day. A three-inch tub
ing was later installed. The company
will ouild a standard rig and put in q
g,s engine to handle the well, as the
water must be dealt with. Fifty feet
beyond the depth Of completion another
sand exists that win probably make six
ty barrels OF black grade OF oil.
The Woodruff OIL company, in Sl-3.S
has three producing wells on its farm
OF forty acres and casing is now in
transit. which will be used in drilling
other wells.
