ABANDONED TEST
NEAR CNICKASHA
CASING, REPORT
Quadrangle on Williams Farm Shows
Signs of Gas; Rambling Comes
from Hole; Water AgItated,
States Land Owner.

The report that the abandoned
hole of the Quadrangle Petroleum
company on the Williams farm
northwest of Chlckasha in section
l0-7n.6w is showing gas after having
leen abandoned for months. is caus.
Ing considerable comment among oil
fans of this city.
The we'll drilled by the Quad
rangle company last summer to u
depth of 2500 feet has been branded
as a dry hole and was forgotten.
This week, however, some boys
passing the we'll heard rumbling,
according to the story. Mr. Williams
investigated and states that rumb.
lings can be plainly heard at TIE
mouth Of the we'll. The water Is
standing about rs feet from the top
and is agitated to certain extent.
Mr.. Williams states. He did not test
the well to see whether the sup
posed gas would ignite.
Various stories are being led-
vanced. Some state that the bit
could have missed a pocket Of gas
by a few feet and that it has taken
the gas this long to work its way
through the hole. Some think that
drilling was stopped just a foot or
two too soon and that the gas pres
sure is working up from below
Several who have visited the well
declare that the rumbling is crow
ing stronger from day to day
NchIos To Start Soon.
Work is to be resumed at the
test Of the Iowa Oil and Refining
company on the Beauchamp farm,
three miles east of tae city in sec
tion S1-7n-6w next week, according
to ]. B. Nichlos, manager.
They have been shut down several
days waiting for some four inch
drill stem. One deal for this stem
was announced as closed, but the
outfit selling the stem to the local
company, backed out and 1t was
necessary to make another deal. 1t
is understood that they have located
another string and that this deal
is expected to go through early next
week.
At a level around 27OO feet, they
have reported a gas sand II feet
in thickness. This strata, however,
has been passed up and the drillers
will go to the contract depth, 5000
feet. In case nothing is struck be-
fore the contract depth is reached,
and if the formations continue good,
they will drill to $500 feet, Mr..
Niclos declared.
