| nation next year of an operating, com
pany which will enable him to do his
own drilling work.
At the present time the Stevenson
companies, principally the sunourst'
has completed or IS drlillns or pre-
pairing to drill % wells, all OF which
are in townships 81, So and 80, range
2 west.
Of these the completed and producing
wells are the Ohio-Sunburst-D ayey
No. /. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES No. l,
Ohio Sunburst-Davey No. 3, Ohio-Sun-
burst-Davey No. 4, Ohio-Sunburst-Da-
/ vey No. 8, Ohio-Sunburst-Dayey No. q:
and Ohio unburst-Swazey No. >, all
on section "a. township 30 north, range
2 west: Ohio-Sunburst-Davey No , on
$50 w, observation-disclosures No

Zimmerman No. /, in 1885, W.
Oil in Thornton Mo. 2 Well
Most of these producing wells are in
close to and surrounding the central
dumping plant of the Ohio Oil company,
which already has connected up with
n half dozen of them and is engaged
in pumping them on the rod direct
from the pumping plant.
| III these the latest TO come III WAS
the observation-disclosures No, ,,
which offsets the Gladys Belle. This
hole had passed down through the hori-
zon in which the Gladys Belle found
production without obtaining results
and the drill was sent on down to the
Madison limestone at a depth OF l,64S
feet without e~ncountering oil. The
hole was bridged back about 10 days
ago to the oil sands. where it was shot
with an ~80-quart charge of nitroglycer-
in. At first it did not appear that
production would result. even after the
shooting, but later the we'll came in
and the oil rose in the hole to a height
Of 700 feet.
The same procedure will be followed
in the hio-Sunburst-Riebe No 1, on
1892 w. which, it is believed will
make q small production after shoot
ing, It lies very close to the Home
stake-Riebe we'll, which drilled in prac-
tically dry but which was shot and is
now pumping So barrels a day.
Gas in Barr Well
Considerable oil was brought out IN
the Sunburst-B oyce No. /. in 1885,
W. when it was brought in at 1879
feet. This well was a gusher but the
oil produced was in negligible quantity
as compared with the water and gas.
However. the well has been quiet for
some time and it is now being cleaned
out preparatory to carrying the hole
down to the Madison limestone.
Oil in commercial quantities was not
found in the Ohio-Sunburst-Barr No. /,
which was carried down to 1.122 feet.
but considerable gas was encountered
and this has been piped TO the field

where it is used as fuel in drilling OPP
erations. This well is located in =
$50 W.
Drilling is IN progress with vary
ing results on the Sunburst-Jarrett
No. /. northwest of the southeast of
$685. W. near the Gladys Belle; the
Ohio Sunburst-Halloway Mol. on the
southwest OF the northeast of 1882
w. Immediately north of the Davey
No. 3: the Sunburst-Suhr No, ], on
the northeast of the southwest of 10

Swears No. | and No. :, both on the
northeast of the northwest of 9-55-2

1882 W.

has been drilled to the Madison lime

drilled deeper later spn.
