ShaIlowcst Producing Sand.
Tho shalluwest producing gas
sand IN Nhe district is at the base
uf tho pcrminu beds and found at
kaw Indian country, II gradually
Increases In depth until It II found
nt 200 feet In the Deer creek field
Of eastern Grant county. This same
sand IL found nt 700 feet IN the old
, blackwell pool. 500 feet at IOncn
city, 500 feet at TDnkuwa ana 500
feet ~ Billings. This sand has
never yet produced OIL although In
several Instances the gas has been
very high In gasoline content, in
dlCdtlug that at some point In this
/ locality II may produce an oil well.
THIS sand is thought by some
operators to be the same as The
i.5OO-foot sand la the CARRIER field
which has produced an enormous
amount Of oil In that pool While
| this sand Is found nt the shpllowest
depth throughout tho district there
are four wells producing above this
horizon nt Garher including the
| Hoy sand at 100 feet, "A 1900
| foot said. the I[incr at 1900, the
| Hotson at 1,i0O.
The next horizon that produces
| oil and gas In any quantity In the
| district is that found at 1000 feet
| In the Newkir6 field aud at about
nine hundred feet In tho pool south
| Of Ponca city.
The ;G.gin Series Next.
The nest sand, which Is consist

| Is the Elgin series. consisting OF
| two or three separate sands in u

sand I'm the ponca city field and

stantly present over the entire dis
trict and ranging In thickness from
1910 1i0 feet. This sand produces
both oil and gas In the Ponca city
field at 2,l00 feet gas at Morrison

In only few cases. II is produc'
