Producers in Sand.
The Central Producers at 9oclock

sand and had struck the slight break
in the sands that is in line with the
log Of other wells IN that section of
the filed. The sand they had drilled
through, however, was about four feet
thicker than that Of the Fortuna

From O'Clock Yesterday evening
until 8 O'Clock last night oil rose
about 500 feet in the hole. 1t was ex-

The Gladstone was creating con

had not penetrated the regular 1900

running a doubleIcugth bailer like a

fluid steadily gained on them and last
night was standing within a couple of
hundred feet of The derrick floor.
There was some water with the fluid,
but not enough to hinder operations
The plan, according to reports cir
culated in Cement is to clean out
as quickly as possible, erect tank
