WITH THE OIL MEN

Olin w. Jones of this city, promi-
nent member of the oil fraternity,
has been busy during the past few
his many friends on the success which
he attained in bringing in the oil
well known as the Olin Jones-Nelson
in the Robertson field Of Garvin u
ty and which extended the producing
area there 5-S mile 10 the southeast.
Very conservative estimates of the
production of the test when com
pleted is placed at 800 barrels with
predictions running as high as 1000
barrels. At any rate, it is regarded
as the best producer in the field. Sand
was encountered at 1882 feet.
Two very interesting episodes ac-
companied the drilling of this well,
both of which have given Mr.. Jones n
greater feeling OF satisfaction now
that it has proved to be n producer.
First items Of more than ordinary in
terest connected with il is the fact
hat ii was brought in on NJ. Jones
birthday. The other exciting event Is
the fact that the date of expiration Of
the lease was Sunday, November 20,
four days after it hit the pay sand
Mr.. Jones had possessed the lease for
almost five years. having bought It at
the time the first showing Of oil in
Garvin county was encountered IN
the BroadGate we'll which was later
abandoned as dry at $500 feet. Due
10 the short time left prior to tho
date OF expiration OF the lease,
fast time was required in drilling the
test. and II was performed in record
time. Drilling was started on Noven-
Der /. the 6 SIS inch casing cement.
cd at 134S feet on November ~, and
the plug drilled out and the well
brought in November II. Rotary tools
were used during the entire operation.

city during March Of the present
year and has been engaged here in
the real estate and lease business
since. Prior to his establishment In
