BEQUE STUCK FLOW OF OIL

Pny Sand was struck mt fifteen hun
that will make several hundred barrels
daily has been struck in the Carter
inland well. drilling about miles from
DeFcHue on the Battlement structure.
WAS the report received here this morn
Ing from the oil shale metropolis The
ray sand was encountered at about
LOO feet and is the same sand penetra-
ted In wells drilled some years ago
ever the DcBctuic field, but lower down
c,, the structure. Some oil was enco'lii-
tered In those w,,'.s. hut 1t is said that
tie well drilled In ty he Carter-ln'hmi
companies will develop INTO gush"r
when the sand is penetrated further.
1t is believed that the report Is an
authoritative one. as every EFFORT mas
lncn made today to verify 1t positive
,y before 1t was given publicity. Al
though the flow of oil was encountered
early Friday morning. 1t was kept n
secret until this morning. After the
first reports Of the strike were rcceiv-
cd In this city 1t was verified from
numerous sources.
The pay sands were reached at about
1900 feet. For n number Of days the
company had been preparing for rush
of oil or gas, and had thoroughly GEM
entel I'm their casing. The drilling was
stopped just after the bit reached the
oil sand, and 1t is said that. had the
well not been plugged Mt once. the oil
would have Ovcrfiowed the casing.
From this 1t IL estimated that 1t would
come in now as several hundred bar

etratiOn of oil sand. 1t might come In
Es a g,sher.
The report Of the strike will bring
