DEEP TEST DRILLING
AT DEPTH ABOUT 1900
United American Well Making Prog
ress, Despite Minor TrovSIes;
Hole in Good Shape; Various
Formations Encountered.

A thorough test Of the shallow dis
trict around Tuttlc is in prospect
according to t. III. r. Sabens OF this
city who states that contracts have
just been closed for 100 shallow wells
TO be drilled by California and Ok
.ahoma City parties.
According to MIR. Sabens he has
secured 1000 acres in leases which
are placed in escrow in the Farmers
State bank at Tuttle to be taken out
as drilling is started. DR.. W. G. Will
burt OF Pasadena, Calf, and DR.. ].
G. Hedges OF Oklahoma City are at
the head of the interests who will
put down these shallow tests. Mr..
Sabens says The contracts state
that they are to drill every well $50
< feet unless the oil is encountered
at lesser depth.
Oil is High Gravity.
The discovery of oil in Tuttle wa.
ter wells some months ago is re-
spoEsible for this activity This oil
tests 80 gravity. It has been used
to run automobiles and gasoline en-
gines as demonstrations of its supe.
rior quality.
While tho oil was found in consid-
cradle quantities in the water wells,
no special test OF the sand has been
made for oil Oil men have stated
that If tho sand is properly develop.
ed, wells producing from one to tb~e
barrels of oil per day should rt dlt.
Considering the high gravity. a one
barrel well at less than 100 feet
would prove a paying proposition.
1t Is stated. The shallow oil has
been encountered at around 55 feet.
Deep Test Progressing.
The United American Oil and Gas
company's deep test on the Thomas
farm south OF Tuttle in section 10
SO Is making progress despite the
fact that from time to time the rig
has been shut down for sundry
causes.
Reports from the well state that
they are now at depth of approx
mately 1900 feet Formations have
been varied from pack sand and to
hard shale, at one time rock stra-
ia having been struck, necesstatng
the use of special rock bit. The
hole is reported to be in splendid
shape for test OF 5000 feet if that
is necessary. The company is un-
der contract to drill to that depth in
case oil or gas in paying quantities
is not found at a lesser level.
