Waiting on Tools.

While the west side of the Cement
field has been threatening to produce
a couple Of oil wells, the east side
has been plugging away until at this
time both the east and west are
knocking at the door Of production,
the situation being toss-up as to
which will drill in first.
In the east, 1t Is the Concrete Pc
troleum, Lemon farm, in the se-se
OF 2-5-g ana the Gorton No /, Rig
ney farm, in the ne Of the Sc of ~.
SO that are nearing production level
Have Good showinos.
The Concrete, after being shut
down shore time with boiler trou-
Bile, is at depth of approximately
1900 feet and is carrying the regu-
lar showings. They expect to drop
into the pay, possibly in the next few
days, given continued good luck.
The Gorton, Rigney, drilling with
standard tools is around 1,840 feet.
They have passed through some very
hard drilling and have easy shedding
ahead. Some fine showings have
been picked up at this test and the
well is being watched with a great
deal of interest, because of the fact
that producer there would extend
the field considerably more than a
mile.
Hawkeye Moves in Standard.
The Hawkeye, in G-5-9, believed t
have been on the sand for several
days, is moving in standard tools t.
drill in. They are cemented and
ready to go. The tools with which
the old Prosperity in 5-59 was drill!
ed are being moved to the Hawkeye
location. They are at the regular
$500 foot Fortuna sand.
The Prosperity is trying to plug
back to the 2,300 foot sand. This
wen had considerable production il
this sand. but drilled through it fol
deep test They were down neaI
the 1900 foot mark but their hole
has become so small that further
drilling was abandoned. The wei
has steadily produced some oil which
has been used for fuel. Also, from
time to time it has been flowing by
heads.
Other Operations.
The Gladstone No 2, drilling in 3

and the tools moved to this locatio
before there are further operation

The Central Producers in 1910 ar
drilling at around 1850 feet. The
