 Last week the operators at the hole encountered considerable an
 
 abundance of quicksand that serious ly interrupted them in their efforts to complete lowering the ten-inch casing Ill the process of clearing the hole of the obstruction the bail CT was lost, requiring a fishing job of q duration of day or two. But the company it is said, is well equip ped with fishing tools equipment and the job was disposed of with comparative ease
 The drillers apparently continue to manifest much interest in their operations, fully believing their eff forts are going to be literally re- warded. It is said the drill is now approaching q depth that is of much interest and the operations are being closely watched. All hands are engaged in work at the well and reports indicate they are going forward very enthusiastically.
