Moro than two weeks ago they

and yesterday afternoon started {

that they had lG foot oil sand

they did with thee barrel. They
were cemented on top of this sand
II is expected that they will drIll
through this sand and will ther

hitting the real pay.
These estimates are based on the
performance of the Gorton Trusts
well on the Wagner farm, just west
of The Knox, where they went
through STRAY" sand of about the |
same thickness as was picked up in
the Knox, then after a break In the

This we'll is three miles north of
Rush Springs. The first of the pres

Gladys Belle was setting and ce-
menting casing at an estimated
depth of around 220O feet. This
