Ece-NoShee Casing Set

After considerable delay the cas-
ing has finally been set in the Nee
No-Shee well which is being drilled
north of Lamar with the intentions
of striking oil if that necessary pro
duct can be found in that vicinity.
After passing through 200 feet OF
salt strong flow of water was en-
countered and several weeks tins
have been consumed in trying to
case this water out that a further
test may be made. 1t is reported
that the well is now down about
$500 feet with fair indications OF
oil.
