That the Gala Belle No. 2. Sur.
beck farm in section $50. Cement
field, came in this morning for a
good well, WAS the word brought to
Chickasha this morning by Cement
business men, who stated that mis-
information came from one of the
men on the well. The amount of re.
ported production was not given,
statement simply being that good
oil we'll had resulted at the location.
An effort was made to get in
touch with Mr.. Gorton, whose com
pany controls the Gala Belle, but 1t
was stated that he was i'll. A Ce-
ment banker stated over the phone
however, that II the well had come
in IL was early this morning as his
information last night was to the ef-
feet that they were having trouble
with cavings.
1t is known that the we'll Is on the
verge of being completed They
have been practically on the sand
FOR several days and have been bail
ing some oil, it being the general
opinion Of oil men that the compile
tion of producer at the Calla Belle
location is only matter of time.
1t is believed that the hopes somo
held that the well would be gasser

cstion that when completed it Will
be an oler.
Several wells In the field are on
the sand and the next two weeks
should see nearly a dozen compile
tions One of the next wells to be
according to schedule, is

They were cemented in at 40 and
yesterday evening completed the
drilling out of the plug, the report
being That the operation left the
well in perfect condition, with all
water shut off. 1t is expected that
they will start the finishing job on
the we'll today, drilling in with ro-
tary
Ramsey No 2, Surbeck farm, off

stored to pre-war standing. At the
beginning of the year the total mer-

To this must be added the tonnage of
German ships Professionally under the

orders in French yards at the begin

Supplementing the reconstruction

proved this year. and estimates are
that the revenues. because of in
