morning. through the swab which
was lost in the hole. than II has ever

location this morning.
Yesterday morning the swab pulled

hole about 1900 feet from the top.
After swabbing Wednesday afternoon
and evening, a great deal more fluid
came into the hole and there was
a perceptible increase In the show

Fishing tools were produced late
yesterday afternoon and the job Of
angling was scheduled to start this
morning. It Is impossible to even
guess on the length OF time which
will be required to hoist the lost
swab section from the we'll. The en-
couraging part of the proposition
among local oilers is that the swab-
bing process, as far as 1t went,
served to help the well materially.
