Two now wells In tho chickasha
field are IN immediate prospect as
result OF strikes made last night
by the American Drilling company
and stogncr and Baldwin. Both OF
these wells are In section 23.5n-Sw,
Just north of the section In which
the discovery well was brought In.

southeast. southwest. southeast OF
section 20. picked up the sand at
$50 feet and rat-taIled 30 feet into
t. They intend TO feel" little
deeper before setting casing. but
will have the pipe set in the next
few days. Stogner and Baldwin,
sometimes referred to as Sandford
ct al. are In the west half OF the
northwest OF the southwest OF the
same location. They are setting
casing at depth slightly less than
1900 feet.
Are Important Developments.
oil men are attaching much inn
portance TO these two strikes. First:
These are the first wells promising
big gas production west and north
of production row" The Stogner
well is nearly half mile west and
a little more than a half mile north
of the discovery well. Seconds:
These are the first potential pro-
ducers across the creek" from the
discovery well. In other words,
they are on the west side OF the
Little Washita, while production up
to this time has all been on the
east side of the bend the little river
makes through the present field.
Both wells are on the Sandford
farm.
These are also the first wells
west OF the Little Washita In tho
immediate vicinity OF the field to
drill to production depth They ex-
tend the field west practically as
much as did the LeMaster, the
Vaudeville or the Nelson wells east.
The operators and lease holders in
the north areas are greeting these
strikes with as much satisfaction as
did the believers" in the southern
areas rejoice over the wells far
south of the original producing
areas.
Other Operators Busy.
The picking up of the sand I'M
these wells is bright spot in what
has apparently been lull for a few
days, but which, in fact has been
period of much activity for the drill
ing wells, none of which in the inn
mediate territory have reached pro.
duction depth.
Grogan ct al, spudded a new we'll
this morning in the northeast OF
the northeast of section 34-5n-Sw.
Ramsey has well under way in
the northeast of the northeast OF
the northeast Of section 22-5n-8w
while the Magnolia is hammering
away nearly a mile to the west in
southwest Of the northwest of the
same section.
Far to the north, Watts and
Streube are down about 400 feet in
the northeast of the southeast Of
section 4-5n-Sw.
Reports Are Conflicting.
Conflicting reports come from the
location Of Marmett in section 13-5n.
Sw Some say this well is nearly
1000 feet deep with no showing,
while others claim that they are
nearing the 1000 foot level at which
point Arrasmith and McBee picked
up an oil sand. Efforts to get in
touch with officials of the company
failed.
Holmes, Wharton and Allen. sec.
tion 12-5n-Sw, are drilling in hard
formations at about 1000 feet.
There We're reports on the street
this morning that Luginbyhl ct al,
In section 32-6n-7w, had completed
their contract to 2.5O5 feet without
picking up pay sand. The report.
however, did not come directly from
Mr. Luginbyhl as efforts to locate
