Is Start on oil Field.
The Harness we'll IL decidedly
better start toward an oil field than
the first strike at Cement. and
there seems To be no reason for
anything but optimism in connec-
tion with the Harness proposition.
The first showing at Cement.
came in the old Funk well, being In
Grady county, In section 6.69. II
was little more than showing OF

less oil and not half the gas ever

operators at the Funk we'll were
forced to stop before they ever

thing. was the test on the Kunsmul.
Ter farm in section 1868. A dis.
tance of five miles separated the
two wells. AT the Kunsmuller prop
osition, a good showing of oil was
struck, but II was nothing more
than a showing. Not enough oil was
produced at either the Funk or the
Kunsmuller wells to fire boiler,
and the two together would not have
made half the oil that is now being
produced at the Harness well.
However, from the showings
struck at these wells, the Cement
field was developed. The Fortuna
company was one of the first to
go into the Cement field after the
showings at the Funk and Kunsmul-
Ter wells. Also, the Gorton Trust
was among the second wave of
pioneers.
Fortuna Makes Strike.
The Fortuna company made the
first real strike in the Cement area.
1t was always classed as the dis
covery well and was drilled in sec.
tion 1863, the Fortuna playing the
west side of The present field, while
Gorton pitched his camp In the east
side.
The first Fortuna we'll, was 40,.
600 foot gasser and created the
first real excitement in the field
Following that, the old Prosperity
in 500 came along with a big
show, with oil spouting over the der
rick, but in reality the we'll proved
to be a bloomer. Along about the
same time, Gorton on the east side
came in with his No. / Wade we'll
for a gasser. Then, about the same
time came the Gala Belle which is
still making considerable oil.
"Why Not Harness?"
From the start of the Funk and
Kunsmuller showings, indicating
that there was oil in the territory
somewhere, and with the Fortuna
and Gorton as development pioneers,
the Cement field has grown to one
of the most stable in the state with
scores of derricks and with new lifs
apparently being injected into the
