That the Fox district has wealth OF
sands has been demonstrated in the last
few days. The Plains Oil q Gas and
Franklin 4 Phillips both have found
deeper gas sands in sections 20 and 90.
The last report on the Plains well was
in error in showing the gas sand 10 be
ten feet thicker than il was. The eS.
act log OF the well follows: The first
gas sand was found from 1898 to 2oeS.
This is the sand that made 100000
feet and had rock pressure of 200
pounds. Five feet of blue shale was
passed through and another gas sand
was found at 202S. The drill is now
at a depth OF 2044 and is still in the
sand. The pressure blew the mud from
the hole. which indicates that the pro.
duction was greater than 10000 900 feet.
The well Is now being mudded for deeper
drilling. This well is on the McCown
farm In 3o-2-S.
Franklin & Phillips. Dougherty No. 2.

There is some interesting territory
in the township east Of Fox. in the
Graham district. whore oil has been
found in sections I, IS and 81 and in the
last section 1t seems the best chances
exist for the reason that the oil is
found at lesser depth. The Kirk Oil x
Gas company has two wells on the sand
in section 81 and will start the third
well this week. II Is also reported that
George W. Chafree win drill series
of wells in that section on the Jim
Burrow farm. oil men who have seen
those wells are Of the opinion that the
chances are good for the opening up OF
an area that will produce large guam |
tity OF oil from about three different
sands.
