To Use Diamonds
In Drilling Oil
Wells in Future

Norman, Okla, March 12Dia
monds will be used in drilling oil and
gas wells in Oklahoma in the near
future, Frank A, Edison, assistant
geologist for the Oklahoma geologi-
cal survey, states The diamond
drill is used to drill through hard
rock. 1t is about four inches in
diameter and contains six large
South American diamonds, which re-
volve in the drill and cut through
the rock,
Such drill will last about four
years and although it is very ex-
pensive, it does not cost as much
as the ordinary drill, considering the
time it lasts, Mr. Edison believes.
