Over in the southeast part the
field, there is still great activity, new
wells coming in almost daily, and
numerous new locations being made.
In this area nothing new has devel-
oped in the deep test and all the pro
duction is coming from the shallow
sands, running $40 to 600 feet.
While nothing definite has been
give cunt, it is generally believed
that the Mckinney Oil and Refining

oped something promising, at least.
This belief is based on the renewed
activity in the leasing game in that
immediate vicinity No drilling has
been done for more than a week, on

ools As soon as the 1ew tools are
installed, it is reported that drilling
will be resumed, and something is
