Mr. Gwynne is in the hospital, where
he has recently undergone an opera
tion aui Mr. Head is absent in Tulsa.
The best report obtainahle is that the
sand was reached at 1860 feet, that it
was drilled out of at 1S9S feet, making
s. feet Of sand, very little or no gas
and production estimated at from
fifty to sixty barrels This report is
probably true.
Each oil man can figure for himself
what this sand means. The we'll to the
south of it owned by Gunsburg & For,
man reached the sand at 11SS feet.
This well on the Pugh farm is almost
700 feet deeper 1t is an entirely new
sand The gravity of the oil is said
to be "a, which is little lighter than
the average Healdton crude II is a
new sand, it is like finding a new
pool, it is probably an edge well but
on which edge no one knows. One of
the old time oil men says it means
that Healdton will be drilled over a
second time. He feels sure that this
sand or another at something like the
same depth underlies the entire poo
and after all it is realized that oil de
yolopment in the uealdton district
has just begun.

not been out to see it, He was a

JONES EXPLAINS
 CHART SHORTAGE FUNDS LACKING

The following communication was received in the last mail from F. Lester Jones, superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey: Editor of the Seward Gateway,
 Seward, Alaska
 My dear Sir:
 m your issue of March &rd, note that vou have a notlce in your paper entitled "The Government has stopped issue of Maps, Coast Pilots. These are withheld on account of war dan ger"
 This is true as far as our stopping our distribution of charts to the pub lie, but tt is solely on account of the fact of the lack of equipment and rcr- sounel, and funds that we are unab!e to supply any more than the navy de- mandS.
 Therefore, as to the merchant marine and public in general, we are unable to meet their requirements, even though they pay for this information 1 thoroughly realize the deplorablC condition, and further appreciate the fact that while Alaska needs every assistance and incentive to further its development, and especially is it necessary to give information relative to it's vast water areas, we are not able to do it. The territory is upper most in my mind, and as soon as we can renew the distribution of our charts Alaska shall get her share.
 In the meantime 1 am doing my best to get the necessary funds from congress. am, very truly yours,
 E. LESTER JONES,
 Superintendent.
