Evans Gets Attention.
Al this particular time. the Evans
well is drawing a major portion OF
the attention. especially with refer
ence to people In the south end of
the county as well as stephens
county oil men. Persistent rumors
for several days. have had II that
the Evans well was threatening to
become a producer.
Definite information on II is still
lacking. The best data on the well,
which IS not official. is that a gas
sand was encountered. They have
set the eight and quarter pipe at
depth reported to he 1887 feet and
have cemented. This cementing
process was completed Wednesday,
according to reports. Acreage prices
are mounting, as result OF the
furry caused from the reports. The

plans are to drill into the sand some
time next week.

Mr.. Nichlos.
The formation at this depth, he
says, corresponds with the Cement
wells. If this holds true on the way
down, they should have at least

southeast of the southeastern ex
