One of the operations of keenest in

Oil mpa on the Genou structure
north of the city.
The well is now nearing completion
in the lower Ellis, according to officials
of the with a depth of more
than 1900 feet. The drilling of the
well was through an agreement of the
Northfield- with the Reliance Oils, a
well known operating company. The
Mortified is backed largely by a group
of eastern men, ceatering about Ro-
chester. \. Y, several Of the eastern
holders in the company have visited
the field and were we'll satisfied by
developments this fall.
A standard rig is being used in drill
ing operations and is under the direc-
tion Of w. z. big Bill Mccullough, a
driller with long experience in drilling
IN Montana fields. He formerly was
engaged in operations in the Browning
field.
In the drilling of the well, several
small flows of gas were encountered.

through a sand at about 1900 feet

hole was filled with water at the
fine and it was impossible to deter

HARDING BACKS SPR0UL
FOR SEAT Of PENROSE
Governor Sounding Party Lead
ers Before Deciding on
Resignation.

Harrisburg. Pa, Jan. 4.--Governor
Sproul. influenced by national Republic
can leaders, is expected to take the un-
usual step of resigning as Governor
and accepting the appointment from
his successor as United States SEN
ator from PENNSYLVANIA, succeeding
the late 3oies Penrose.
This plan will be carried out unless
the political leaders from Pennsylvania
absolutely refuse to support Mr..
Sproul for the election next November.
There will be a conference OF the
Philadelphia and Pittsburg leaders
with Governor Sproul at the Union
League, Philadelphia late today. II
they approve Mr.. Sprouts candidacy
he will resign early next week.
The resignation will not be pre-
sented until after this conference and
until Mr.. Sproul has conferred with
Senator Crow, who Is lying seriously
III In Pittsburg hospital. Mr.. Sproul
is also scheduled to confer with Presi-
dent Harding next Monday.
II the present program goes through
as outlined. Governor Sproul will re-
SIKH UtNN utStldN anu VIII Abht hAN
place in the Senate before the end of
next week.
Developments in the last twenty
four hours are all favorable 20 the
Governor succeeding Mr.. Penrose.
He is the most outstanding figure in
Pennsylvania politics, and the only
obstacle TO his resigning and accept
ing the appointment is the feeling OF
the people that he should serve out
his term. But the sentiment OF enough
politicians is running so strongly for
the Governor that his friends believe
he can safely resign and accept the
verdict of the voters in November.
II is understood here that President
Harding will exert his influence on
Pennsylvania leaders in behalf OF Mr..
Sproul. and that this will he powerful
enough to bring 10 the Governors sup
port the Wares in Philadelphia.
There are few politicians here who
believe that Sproul will do anything
