Producers "Cut Up"
Word from the field received by
phone this morning from reliable
source, stated that the Gala Belle and
tn Caddo wells, "cut up" to some con
siderable extent yesterday. The Caddo
is said to have made several strong
flows yesterday, flowing an estimated
200 barrels at one time.
The Gala Belle also made several
flows of more magnitude than usual,
creating considerable excitement.
Both wells seem to be getting strong
er, reports direct from the field state.
Tankage is being erected at the
Caddo as fast as possible. The oil
flowed yesterday at this well, went
into earthen tanks, but will be saved.
The Gala Belle also flowed into the
slush pit as all available tankage at
the well is file dto capacity.
Activity Continues.
The same activity that opened the
week, in the way of rig building is
continuing in the field. Reports are
that lumber is being hauled out of
Cement in every direction daily to To-
cations where new wells are sched-
uled and rig crews are hammering
away on new derricks everywhere.
Leases are still going up in price,
and are being purchased now by com
panies who intend to drill. This ap-

mant stated. Locations are being
nearly every hour" he said.
"Things are booming and getting bet
ter every day"
Nothing From Hill.
There is nothing to report at the
Hill we'll in 1863 or the Williams test
in 1868. Both wells are drilling, the
Hill at about 2,1OO feet and the Will
liams at practically the same depth.
Both are around 200 feet off the pay
as yet, but are being watched daily by
operators, lease men and more on
lockers.
When those wells come in, granting
that they are producers, the big thing
is due to take place, oil men predict.
From all indications there is due to
be a forest of derricks over the field
in the next 80 to 60 days.
