Gladstone, Hill and Mckinney
Activities Set Excitement
Anew; Means Much to
Future Work.
NEW GASSER TO Be
DEEPENED FOR OIL
Gladstone Flows Stronger; Hill
Shoots; Gorton No Q Clements
Casing and Is Changing
Tools.

The events of the past few days
have meant more to the Cement side
of the field than anything that has
happened since the Gorton gasser,
more than a year ago proved that
there was production east of Cement,
or since the bringing in of the Gala
Belle proved that there is oil as we'll
as gas in the field
These events started with the
bringing in of the Gladstone No. l,
Big Whip allotment, in the se-sw of
3-5-9, which was followed promptly
by the blowing in of the Hill well in
the se-se of 1868 which well was
thought to be a practical duster, and
the wind-up came when the McKin,
ney Oil and Drilling company landed
$4,000 900 foot gasser Surbeck farm
se-se 3-5-9.
Gladstone Getting Stronger.
The Gladstone well is getting
stronger as the process of cleaning
continues. Tuesday morning the well
broke loose and during the day it
flowed five times through the eight
inch, the fluid going over the top Of
a 92 foot derrick and oiling down an
adjoining cotton field.
Work on the well is practically fin
ished, They are constructing tankage
and will attach the lead lines to the
storage as soon as possible. They
have the lines aimed in the slush
pit at this time. The flows of the
well are much stronger than anyt-
thing in the field which strengthens
the belief that he test will prove to
be good for around 300 barrels, possi-
bly, better
Hill Shoots Again.
The Hill well was not content with
one days performance. 1t is contin-
uing to shoot mud, slush and oil
from the hole from time to time. A
slug of mud and gumbo that has been
pressed into a sort of projectle, was
thrown from the well by the gas
pressure striking the crown plate
and tearing it loose. There is oil in
considerable quantities evident, but
whether they can make a producer
out of the well yet remains to be
seen, because of the condition of the
hole.
They can at least save the gas
however, and it is possible that they
can work it into an oil producer
The presence of oil in the hole serves
to help prove a wide territory.
Mckinney to Continue.
At the Mckinney well, they will
go on down for the oil sand that, il
is believed will be found around 81
feet deeper. The gas will be saved
however as there is dire need of it in
tn field to supply the wells that will
result from the recent developments

COUNTRY UF BOILING HILLS
The orumlins. Between Syracuse and
Rochester. N. ", Make Exquisite
Bit Of Scenery.

Between Syracuse and Rochester
lies ii country Of hills. known H. drum
iins. which Is one OF the most beautiful
and unique hits Of scenery IN the
eastern United States
The term drumlin Is nn Irish one
and Is applied TO low. rolling hills OF
glacial origin which exist In that coun-
try, and also In parts OF New York and
New England. This section between
syracuse and Rochester Is the very
heart Of the American drumlins.
Most American mountains and hills
were formed by violent disturbances
OF the earth's surface. and their rude
origin Is reflected In their ruggedness.
But the drumlins were built by the
great ice sheet which once covered all
OF North America The materials OF
which they are made were pushed to-
gether slowly by the crawling glaciers
nodded and tamped and smoothed by
The great Ice fingers as child makes
mud pies.
The drumlins look as though they
had been designed by some great In
telligence with a sense OF beauty. for
they rise In smooth, gentle curves like
those OF perfect human body. They
are remarkably uniform in height,
usually little less than 200 feet. and
so smooth and lenient are their
slopes that many of them are Guilt
waited to their submits. Some of them
are as round as half an apple, and 9TH
ers are long welts or rolls.
Scattered among the hills are num-
ber OF small lakes and ponds. clear
and pretty, and there is good fishing in
many of them. The drumlins are a
favorite playground OF the people in
Syracuse. Rochester and other nearby
towns but they are little known be-
