NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS
In Bellevue Territory, but Prospect.
ing for OIL Still Under Way.

In the prospecting for oil In the
Bellevue section there are no new de-
to report this week, but I
hope is far from being abandoned and
there are those who believe that field |
is to be developed over that way within |
the next several months. The location |
of the pool that is believed to exist is
a process of elimination. so to speak.
and every dry hole, with its scope of
country abandoned, is likely bringing
the prospectors nearer their goal.
1t would seem that Mr.. II. o. Roy.
and associates, have more faith in the
hidden possibilities Of the section than
all other operators. Mr.. Roy is cross
checking the country rather closely
with his tests. and has no hesitancy In
saying that a dry hole does not always
incline him to give up even limited
acreage. His present site Is I'M the
northwest corner of section q, town
ship 10. range II, and the hole is down
about AGO feet. Operations are again
under way. following suspension of
some days because Of lack of water.
He has lately put down two water
wells, lying to the east-say mile and
two miles distant-and these wells, he
thinks, will furnish an ample supply of
water for present operations and wells
to be put down later. That within
itself, coupled with the exceptional
number OF tests made within a limited
scope Of country. would incline one to
believe he expects to locate field
and he says he does.
Operations are still under way at the
Vance Chandler well. located in section
80 33s -oO-11-a mile northeast Of the old
town. According to reports, Mr.. Chan
dler expects to try for another test in
the well. his last try-out being failure
because Of poor seat for 4h-inch
casing. The well is down about 200
feet, and the two tests made were like
fiukes. The general Impression is that
Mr. Chandler will put down a second
/ well near his present site In the event
Of f.,ilure to get oil.
About two miles southeast Of the
Vance Chandler well the Transconti
mental Company Is making deep test
their well being located in section
3-10-11 Operations have been uniei
way for some time. and We're recently
resumed. following the setting Of eight
4 incl, casing. The present depth OF th'
well il between 27t)0 and $500 feet.
The Gulf Company. making deeI
test hi section 13-oO-12. is still operat
ing-at depth of around 29OO feet. y
the reporter is told. This location Il
across Bodcau from the old town.
The Texas Company, for SOM
months past operating In about tn
4 center of section 22!l19-11. is now dow
27OO to $500 feet. This is also to be |
deep test and operations are still untle
way. At this site there was a shut
down on account of a scarcity OF water
but that has been overcome by placin
a dam across the McDade sprin
