mean more to the field than any
drilled to date is that of the Cement
Drilling company located on the
Holding Strip" just west of the de-
pot in section 3-5-9 and at which To-
cation they have picked up a sand
at less than 1000 feet.
What this sand will make when
worked is not known, but Hudson
brothers who are drilling the well
think enough of it to stop and work
it. According to B. F. Holding, vice
president Of tie company, the top
of the sand was struck at between
$50 and 800 feet. The first four
feet of the sand proved very rich
They rat tailed down, Mr. Holding
says, and have total of Ga feet OF
sand.

case 1t becomes necessary to go on
to the Fortuna sand, they are en-

of the company, they struck a lime
rock a little less than 200 feet from
the surface and continued to find
the rock until a few feet before
their present oil showing was struck.

picked up something that has not
been reported from any other wei
in the field. The drillers say it is
