The south and east lines of the south.
east extension to Healdton have in all
probability been defined as far as the
shallow sands are concerned and the
attentions of the operators are being
directed to the northeast portion of the
extension. The Extension Oil company,
the Carter Oil company and the Michorn
OH company are drilling in that portion
Of the field. The sands are proving
regular, there is no sign Of feather.edg.

that the east side Of 13, the southeast
portion OF ~ and the north side Of
section 1S-4-2 will produce a vast amount
of oil. The Roumania has begun a well
