OIL FIELD NEAR
MADILL MAYBE
biologists Quoted As Saying That
Shallow Sand Is Paying. Many
Local Folks Interested

Quite a number Of local people are
financially interested in oil leases in
Marshall county near Madill and
Aylesworth and numbers OF them
nave expressed confidence that one
day an oil field will be opened up in
that territory. The Moore Oil &
Gas Company. with headquarters in
Durant is operating there and is
hopeful Of prospects.
Last Sundays Okianoman, carried
the following intervied credited to
N. w. Walther, of the Moore Oil &
Gas Company, which is interesting.
THE we'll being drilled by the
Moore Oil & Gas Company Of Durant,
In Marshall county, Oklahoma, is at
tracing more attention than any
well in the county since the Madill
wells were drilled about ten years
ago. There were thirteen wells drill
ed al, Madill at that time, nine Of
them producing oil and four were dry
which seemed to outline a small pool
of oil. These wells are reported to
have produced from 400 to 1000
barrels at a depth of 45O feet, of the
highest grade Oil that, up to the
present time was ever found in Ok
lahoma. Owing to the location of the
four dry holes. II was estimated that
this was small pool and would soon
be exhausted. About this time the
Gushing field, with its tremendous
production, was attracting the atten-
tion of the oil men of Oklahoma and
elsewhere. and the next year the IA
nous HealdtOn field of Carter county
on the west. On account Of the i'm
mense production of these two fields
and the price of crude oil being the
cheapest since 1900, the little field
at Madill was practically forgotten
until the year 1918, when the govern
ment made geological survey of
Marshall and Bryan counties, Okla
homa and GraysOn and Fannin coun-
ties, Texas. and in their report, in
Bulletin 120, described the Preston
anticline running through these
counties; they also stated that the

present anticline.

well Will be plugged back and the
sand at 625 feet shot. The sand
round at 625 feet was pronounced
py oil men who have visited the
well to be a splendid, hard sand,
and would undoubtedly make a long
lived pool.
Previous to drilling thqir test
well the company drilled for water
ABOUT 1000 feet down on the struc-
ture with a light rig. Both gas and
OIL were found in this we'll and they
are using the gas for fuel in drill
ing their test we'll. There was only
thirteen feet Of sand found in the
well drilled for water. A packer was
set with 2-inch tubing and the we'll
Is flowing every ten minutes produc-
ing water and considerable oil. A

well flows. and quite a large guam
tity Of oil has been saved from this
