is being torn down, the casing pulled
and the hole plugged. The official
log shows that the drill went to
depth of 3O03 feet, but it was stated
that the accurate measurement OF
the hole showed it to be fraction

When asked il new location
would be made on the company's
leases in the Ninnekah district Mr..
Jaggers said, "At this time there will
not be another location made on our
property there. The scarcity OF
drills, rig timsers, tools and casing
would not justify us in putting down
another we'll in this section now. OF
course if the Unity company should
strike we'll at the locations south
and east of Chickasha, we would put
down an offset on some of our acre
age, but until they do our activity
will be carried on in another field.
We have all we can attend to in the
CARRIER and upper Hoy fields. An
other thing, the expense of drilling
we'll in a wildcat field would not
be justified with us at this time,
when we have plenty of proven acre
age to drill out. Our wells in the
