The obvious object of such di-

With the completion Of the For
tuna No 2, section 6.5-9 in the
Chickasha district the new field has
taken on added interest to the en-
tire oil fraternity, when It was an.
nounced that the well is good for
at least 200 barrels
At depth Of 1888 and with the
bit % feet in the sand without hav-
ing penetrated it. the we'll set
record for the field by flowing 1870
barrels in seven hours Two large
earthen tanks have been FILLED and
the we'll is now hooked up to the
steel tankage. Drillers are busy
putting the producer on the map,
despite the fact that she is flowing
freely at regular intervals.
The Gladstone, for the Sonora is
also looking up It's volume is said
to have increased to around 100 to
l25 barrels daily As rapidly as
possible this well is being cleaned
and put on the pump Considerable
oil was taken from the well through
the swabbing process, but this was
stopped when the tanks sprung
leaks This damage is being re-
paired
With production for the field as
sured arrangements are now un-
der way it has been learned to lay
pipe line from the producing wells
to loading rack on the Frisco
tracks at the village OF Cement II
is understood the Gladstone is be-
hind this project and the work is

there in few days All eyes are
turned to this location for the rea-
son that when the rotary was pulled
away. they were on top of the sand
