In Stephens County

Duncan, Okla, Aug. 23.-Oll and gas
DEVELOPMENTS in stephens have not
reached the high mark this week. There
has been only one well brought in In
this district in the past ten days, the
Magnolia Petroleum in section IT, town
ship south range west.
Some of the wells have the drills
resting on the sand waiting.
The Magnolia in section 17.2s'7w
drilling at around 1860 feet, encoun
tered seemingly prolific sand at thai
depth, but penetrated the sand to a
depth of 20 feet and found a sand good
for 40 or so barrels. However, no test
has been made of the well.
There will be u revival of operations
in the Comanche district as a result oi
the Magnolia's strike.
Considerable territory has been ad
ded to the 1s-4w territory by the Alma
Midway Oil and Gas Company closing
a deal with the Fidelity Oil and Gas
Corporation, a California syndicate, FOR
a well to be drilled in section 34-ls'4W,
the Alma Company holdings.
The location made in section 34'ls'
4w is three or four miles from any
other location in that particular district.
The new location will lend an additional
stimulus to all activities in the east
side field.
The Big Beaver Oil Company on the
Dorrance farm has set casing and is
ready to drill out the plug. The Poin-
setta in section 16-ls-9w will drill in
soon.
The test being made by Fowler & Nc
Bee in section 2S.2s.6w is bringing good
showings. The drill has encountered
three showings in the last 100 feet.
The Lone Star Gas Company is now
pounding away on the north end of the
Deer Creek structure and will make a
thorough test.

showing strong. The log of this well
has all along shown the formation to be
much the same as was found in the

For the last week, activities in the

the situation shows some sign of i'm
provement. Several of the large refin
cries in the Mid.Continent field have
already done this. The poor service
rendered by the railroads in the move
ment of tank cars has also been an add
ed handicap which is causing the refin
ers great trouble. The only refined
product that shows any strength at all
and for which there is great demand
is kerosene. The stand taken by the
average refiner seems TO be to run as
little crude as possible, from now until
such time as the price of fuel oil and
other products will allow him to make
fair margin of profit.
