ty, Arkansas. which created quite a
sensation yesterday by reason Of be.
ing the discovery well OF tho state
reported 20 he flowing at the rate
Of goo barrels a day from a crovice
In tho cap rock above the actual
oil bearing strata, has caused con-
siderable controversy among tho oil
bunch. Reports coming to several
OF tho larger oil companies late yes.
tcrday afternoon stated that tho well
looks like "A small producer only, and
that II was flowing steadily IS to
20 barrels "A day with the rotary
stem In tho hole"
The claim that because the oil
sand had not as yet been topped
when the well began to flow, thai
the crude was secping through IL
natural crevice In the cap rock, and
that when the drill penetrated this
cap rock, the chances were that a
big "gusher" would result. This the
ory has been contested by many OF
the oil men. and BIOLOGISTS, who
claim that since "A rotary machine
had been used, that an oil bearing
sand had possibly been passed un-
noticed. and that this oil was litter
ing through tho loose shale and
flowing up through the casing.
Excitement ran high at stephens,
Ark, when tho we'll was reported
flowing Saturday, and great throngs
of oil men and scouts were attracted
to the well. The well was capped
and pipe lines we're hurriedly laid to

looked for with interest. biologists
are of tho opinion that this we'll Is In
the syncline, and Is therefore quite a
triumph for tho eokologists" II II
proves as good ms first reported.
