UNION COUNTY OIL
DEVELOPlIENT.

The Prairie Oil and Gas Co., be
tween IeXline and Dalhart, Texas.
near the Union County Line, in a
bout I 800 feet have encountered
the same formation, almost foot for
foot as is encountered in the Burk
burnett field This we'll was held
up for several weeks fishing for
tools, having three strings in their
well at one time. These they have
recovered. Mr.. O'Donnell, their
driller is one of the best in the
profession with years of expert
ence Speedy completion is predict
ed.
The drill in the Perico we'll is in
blue shale, and are making salts
factory progress. They have had
very little trouble since breaking
through the hard rock formation
they encountered at about 20 feet.
This was 80 feet of flinty, hard
rock.
Buffalo Well No j. Odiorne, is
over 300 feet down and all the way
in hard rock. The drilling i'm this
we'll has been very difficult A
cone shaped point used in their
special bit lasts but short time,
and these points are very eXpenS
i've. IL takes iS hours to temper one
of them. We noticed several dis
carded points. and as hard as they
are, they had been worn smooth
iE drilling through the formation
they have to contend with. The Buff
falO people have had but one fish
ing job and that small one. One
OF their drillers had the misfortune
to get a piece of steel in his eye
and is now under the care of a spe-
cillist.
Mr.. Bert Gould. of the Shorty
Gobbler Well was in Clayton Tues
day making preparations to start
drilling again. They had juts receiv-
ed car load OF casing, between t2-
900 and $4,000 feet and will be run
ming full time in short while
Casing OF the size used by the Snor-
ty GobbleP is hard TO get and the
price asked by some dealers is as
tOnishing. Mr. Gould informs us hc
spent several weeks in Oklahoma
trying TO trace casing for sale, anC
that from 81 to s. per foot was be-
ing bid for same. Casing of the
smaller dimension was reasonably
plentiful We have heard some
talk about the time consumed in
the drilling Of this well, but it is
our opinion that these gentlemen
have had more than their share of
hard luck, and we predict that sue
cess will be their reward
We are informed chat drilling has
again started on the Boise CITY wei
No 4. The work is being done uu-
der new management, and expert
drillers are i'm charge A syndicate
is being formed to take over large
block of leases near the well.
