WELLS ARE WATCHED
Both Knock at Door of Produc-

cations Now Wait on
These Two Tests.

While last week in the Cement
field was featured by locations, this
might properly be termed rig build
ing week. in the field for number
Of locations of few days ago are
now rigs or building.
Work is under way on two rigs
for the Foster Oil company of Tulsa
in 6,5.9
The rig for Caddo No. 2 is build
ing in 36-6-l0.
In $50 the rig is complete for
Prosperity No. 2, this well being an
offset to the Gladstone No. /, good
producer.
Work on the derrick of the Hawk
eye company in 6-5-9 is practically
complete and work is to start soon.
In 1868 the DR., Van is a rig In-
terested in the project are John Pitt
man and John S. Graham.
The Central Producers in 1910 is
rig and they are waiting on
string of tools. Water we'll is COM
plete.
The Gladstone derrick in 3-5-a
which was blown down some weeks
ago is being rebuilt. They have
about 700 feet of hole and will deep
en- the we'll to the sand as soon as
possible
In 2-5-9 the rig of the Concrete Pc
troleum company which was blown
down week ago, is being rebuilt.
The rotary tools from the Gala
Belle will be used here.
An offset to the Gala Belle is the
Carson No l in 11-5-9. 1t is the
Hoffman Oil company of Kentucky.
This is on the Bert Lackey farm.
where the company will drill eight
wells
Blackwell interests have made a
location in the se-nw of 1853 and u
drilling contract has been let The
well will be know mas the Reed well.
Wagons are being loaded every day
in Cement with rig timbers being
hauled to new locations and in every
direction from the village are to be
seen piles of lumber where derricks
are in process Of construction or
where work is to be started at once.
While the rig building is the fea.
ture Of activity, the chief interest of
the field centers around the Hill
well in 1863 and the I. w. viii.
liams well in 1860. Both wells
have hit gas sands at around 1000
feet and are drilling Every indica-
tion points toward two new produc.
ers at these tests and it is a race to
see which one will score first
They each have about 100 feet to
go before the depth of the oil sand
is reached. Some are betting that
the Hill well will come in first as 1t
is being drilled with a rotary and
better time is expected there. Both
are knocking at the door of prodUc.
tion and it is known that several 10.
cations are being held up awaiting
the outcome of these tests. One, in
particular is a town lot location IL
the Hill well proves a producer OF
oil, the townsite of Cement will soon
look like the top of a pepper box, oil
men say. 1t is known that three
tentative locations have been made
in the town and all are waiting on
the Hill test before starting work on
their rigs.
The Prosperity No. l in 500 is
now answering all the descriptions
Of a deep test They are plugging
away at around 5000 feet, and re.
ports say their formations are good.
Also, in 35-6-1O, the Fortuna No.
is getting down around 5000 feet.
There is apparently no though of
abandoning either until probable
depth of 5000 to $500 feet has been
reached.
Oil is being loaded regularly from
Fortuna No. ?, and Gladstone No. 1
at Cyril.
