ness light on the Santa Fe road from

er period This comRny at Healdton
is producing oil from its leases, but is
not drilling any new wells at this time
Prairie Oil & Gas Company's wen in
S-23 in the Fox district is drilling at
a depth of about 100 feet. At a depth
at about l,545 It had a 95.foot sand
which made lots of water and a gas
production OF probably one and half
million feet. The presence of the wa.
ter made it difficult to estimate the
gas productions
The presence of gas in the Prairie
well in section s, has encouraged own.

zation. These people, il is stated, will
begin within a short time to drill its
well which has been shut down at 200
feet for several weeks.

ton $50 on the Albert Stait acreage
is drilling past the 1000 foot level. Rig

favorable as the company had intended
to abandon the well at 1000 feet If
nothing had been found up to that
depth.

Yarhola Pipe Line Company's 6.inch
oil pipe line from Healdton to Cushing
has been tested about 70 per cent OF
the distance. Only few minor leaks
developed, and they have been attended
to- About five miles of pipe remains
to be laid at the Gushing end and this
delay has been caused by the scarcity
of steel. The pump stations have been
completed, but they are not equipped
yet with the engines, which have been
ordered The machil,ary which the
company already hi installed at
Healdton, will be used to pump oilfinto
the line from this end and the water
viii be pushed out at the Cushing end
to finish the test on the line when the
last pipe is laid The company has a
scarcity OF steel storage room and is
anxious to begin making oil runs.
