II is becoming apparent that there
is an inclination to play Jefferson
county for an extension OF the Kan
ger sands. There has been. for some
time, coterie Of spectators quiet
ly leasing, here and there, blocks Of
acreage throughout the southern end
of Jefferson county, but recently the
demand for acreage seems to be
growing and the territory enlarged
until now there seems TO be de-
mand for acreage as far north as
township south. range : west
From here the play reaches over
into Stephens county, where 1t con-
meets with the development in the
Duncan field. Those who are seek
ing acreage in this area contend
that there is strong probability
that the Ranger, Texas, formation
will be found in this area. At least,
many OF the advocates OF this the
ory are backing their judgment with
money which is going into the
hands OF the farmers, and just at
the man who needs the money.
