Oil & Gas Journal Work in many OF
the fields was practically at a stand
still during the week ending December
is. owing to. .severe winter weatner. IN
MANY sections OF the oil country, pro-
1 auction was curtailed to an extent not
experienced in many previous years.
In the MIDI Continent field the weather
has moderated, but 1t will require an
other week for operators 10 get tneir
work under way. In Kay county, OK
Iahoma, an important completion was
4OO-barrel well on the Tickel farm, sec
tion 3l-29-1, which is producing from a
sand found at 1855 feet. A deep-sand
producer was drilled ON this farm a
month ago. The Okmulgee Producing
& Refining company's well in section
25-14-11, Okmulgee county, which found
a deep sand at 2,245 feet ten days ago,
continues to produce 400 barrels daily.
In the Gushing pool, two Prairie OIL
* Gas company wells were drilled from
the Wheeler TO the Skinner sand and
started at 50-barrel gait. A 25O-bar-
rel well in the Layton sand and
I00-barrel producer in the Tucker for
nation were also reported. Among the
Bartlesyille sand formations at Gushing
were a 260-barrel well and one start
ing at 40 barrels daily. At Billings,
Noble county, duster was drilled on
the Deal farm and another was re-
corded in the Maranec district OF Paw
nee county, northwest of the Yale pool
In the latter development, 250-barrei

Oil & Gas Journal: The reports from
the wells completed lack interest this
week Most Of the few that came In
were small and their locations of no
importance. Mystery still hangs over
the Red Hill Oil 4 Gas company's test
in section 23-23-21 west Woodward
county, the owners of which claim they
have a hole full Of oil, but which they
have shut away from the curious after
giving them one peek a week or so ago
The well is owned by Woodward county
men. who have boarded up the derrick,
nut a barricade of barbed wire around
the rig and warned everyone TO Keep
OF the premises. A sample of the oil
from the well has reached Tulsa, and
the expert who had the sample said
he would like to convince himself that
the oil was born in that particular well.
The Cosden Oil & Gas company has
Just completed a rank duster in Woods
county, IL miles northwest of Ava
and 40 miles northeast Of the Red Hill
on & Gas company's mystery in
Woodward county. The Cosden well was
drilled $500 feet, and it is said that
IL did not get a single showing. The
well IL on the Drake farm in section
