j. +. Bristow, manager of the Kirk
Oil & Gas company was here yester-
day afternoon from the Graham dis
trict. He states that on the Bennett
farm, in 81 2s2w. the well that has been
drilled to the 270-foot sand will make
from to s barrels. The well is clear
Of water. 1t has eighteen feet of sand
and has been tubed but pumping ma
chinery has not arrived The deep
well on the same farm, which went
into a sand at 993 feet, has been drill
ed twenty-six feet into the sand and
has not passed through 1t. The well
is carrying water ami the production
cannot be intelligently estimated. The
water comes from above and the first
work to be done is to shut of the water
which may require several weeks
These two wells give the owners an
opportunity to study the sands. A
series of sands have been found in both
of these wells. The north well had
sands that carried oil exclusively, while
one of the shallow sands in the south
carried oil. The company is Of the opin'
ion that the better sands lie to the
north and the Kirk company will con
tract six other wells and they viii be
to the north of the wells already drill
ed. There is a reasonably good chance
that the Graham district will give up
lots of oil. T. V. Richards and asso
ciates are getting ready to start drilling
operations on the Lee l.. Gait farm, In
section 1922, and because of the sands
found in section 81 more interest at
taches to the well.
