OIL FIELD NOW LIKE
MANY RINCED CIRCUS

The oil field is like many-ringed
circus, so many attractions and spec
tacular feats are being pulled off at
the same time that the observer must
be unusually keen if he grasps every
thing that transpires. While all eyes
were on the Hover-Schwartz, Unit
Petroleum. Lucky Strike and Big
Six. the Mid-Northern quietly slipped
into the sands, and, before those out
side the official circles knew any
thing about it, they had oil over the
top of the casing in Wildschultz No.
3 at a depth of 1888 feet.
The Mid-Northern Immediately be-
gan setting six-inch casing, obtaining
a very good production. which is
said to about equal that of the other
Mid-Northern wells recently brought
in.
