The Tippit well, west of Gainesville.
in Cooke county, had twenty feet of
sand at a depth of about 2S00 feet.
The sand was shot and the owner is
having a difficult time I'm cleaning II

of the center Of the section. This Is
ahead of production in the southeast
extension, and is a very interesting
test
Some interest is being manifested

we'll and the drill is still in the gas
sand These reports stated that the
sand had been passed through, but the
company itself was mistaken It Is
rather difficult work to drill or to
know much Of well when It is trying
to make progress through hole filled
with thick mud in order to hold the
gas back such as is the case with this
well
districts state that the Athey well in
1872 reached a salt water sand at the
exact depth of the salt water sand in
the Plains well in 1928 and If these
wells are running together the Plains
people should reach a sand at 1855
feet. Much salt water has been found
in this oil area and the heavy salt
water sand which discouraged owners
I'm 5-2-3 did not justify the abandon
ment of that well, and the knowing
ones assert that Wildcat Pete will be
drilled deeper some of these days.
