COMPLETE TEST OF
SECTION is ASSURED
Big Heart and MillrOy Attract Attention;
Shallow Production Found; Trend
Runs North and West

In Stephens county the oil opera
tors are exceedingly busy according
to authentic reports and the activity
shown is evidence that not an acre
Of the prospective territory is to go
by without a thorough test. Espe-
cially does this seem to be true of
east Stephens county, where there
is much scattered production of both
oil and gas, coming from both shall
low and comparatively deep tests,
and where dozens of new locations
are now active.
The east Stephens county field is
apparently II continuation of the fa-
nous Healdton field. OIL men point
to this fact and declare that the
Loco and Fox fields Immediately
north and west Of the Healdton, is
evidence that the trend runs north
cad vest .rom Healdton. The
northwest edge Of the Healdton field
extends within o bout a mile from
the southeastern corner of Stephens
county The Loco field practically
six miles west from the southeast
ern corner of the county, and the
Fox field about five miles north of
the most northern eHaldton produc-
tion, seems to bear this theory out
The development now progressing in
east Stephens county is extending
northwest from the triangle formed
by these three fields, namely the
Healdton, the Loco and the Fox.
Attracting the most attention in
this section now is the production
o. the Millroy. These wells, which
now number several, are shallow
production and are located in 13, ID,
25 26, 2 s., W. The average depth
of the wells in this district is from
425 to 450 feet and the production
is reported to be from so to 200 bar
rels. In the Millroy district there is
strenuous activity and acreage is
selling at handsome figure. The
Big Heart. Magnolia and others, are
playing an important part in this
section
From this point the production still
spreads to the north and west The
Veldum, located in 22-1st5w has just
brought in a gasser. estimated at
five million feet, the drill striking
the pay at about $40 feet
Other development in the section
is as follows: The Big Heart in 49,
2s-4w is pushing development rap
idly and has landed some good pro-
duction.
In 36-1s-5w development is under
way The Producers company OF
Texas have shallow production and
are drilling a deep test. The Demp-
sey epople have also made a loca-
ton in this section and the Lomore
company, it is reported has made
ten locations there.
The Mckinney company in S6-1s
CIV has completed their rig, theiI
tools are on the ground and they
are ready to spud in.
The Wichita Falls people have ;
rig up in 35-ln-4w, but have not start
ed drilling.
The Piedmont outfit in 25-2n-4v
is drilling at practically 700 feet witt
