we're unable TO lower the water more

however showed considerable gas.
Mr.. McBee declared. Three things
are responsible for the water stand
lug at 250 feet IN the hole. he points
out. u) There could be leak at
the bottom OF the easing. t2l The
pressure OF the hole full Of mud and
slush standing on the open sand for
many hours could have driven the
sand full of water and pushed the
gas back. t3) There is n possibility
that the drill went slightly too deep
and picked up a water bearing sand
below the gas sand
AT any rate" Mr.. McBee said,
whether we make well there or
not, the presence of the gas show
ing proves that we are not out of the

but now believe we will make some
kind of gas well out of the test"
