The verdict at the Nlchlos No. 2.
Farwell farm and the LeMaster.
Muse ct al. both In the southwest
of section 2e-5n-Sw. will not come
until next week. II was indicated
this morning by statements from
the owners.
Both are coring the sand to de-
termine its thickness and the quail.
ity OF the sand In the lower levels.
Indications are that the setting Of
pipe, first expected to come today.
will perhaps be delayed a day or
two until the coring process is com
plete and both operators know def
initely where they are "at."
Both Are to Cement.
j. B. Nichlos, owner of the Mich
los No. 2 and Mr.. LeMaster one of
the owners of the south offset to
the Nichlos, stated that they will
cement the casing 10Th have good
seats for the casing in gumbo and
no water trouble has shown up.
They prefer, however, to take no
cahnces of getting possible leak
at the bottom on an uncemented
pipe.
Both are making arrangements to
move in casing today or tomorrow
to set when they have satisfied
themselves as to the extent of the
sand. Several days will be required
for the cement to set, making the
bringing in date some time next
week.
Mr.. LeMaster expressed the be-
lief this morning that when the
wells were measured with steel
line. it would be found that there
would he very little or no dip in
the sand. The added depth of the
wells, as compared with the Nichlos
discovery well, he says, is account
ed for by the difference in eleva-
tion. Oil men are elated at the
prospects for big field. The depths
of the wells run little more than
1900 feet at the top of the sand,
while the bottom of the discovery
well is 1911. There is a difference
of about "A feet in elevation.
Dry Sand at Ninnekah.
Jim Arrasmith, principal owner in
the Arrasmith ct al, well on the
Mutz farm in section 31-6n-6w, two
miles east of Ninnekah, stated this
morning that they had Is feet of
sand with the bottom of the hole
at 1891. The sand however, does
not carry oil or gas, he declared.
They are drilling deeper and at the
reported depth, they were still in
this sand.
The Arrasmith, McBee and Fow-
ler well, in the southeast of the
northeast of section 1-5n-7w, is drill
ing at 200 feet with rotary. They
expect to pick up the Nichlos sand
at slightly below 1925 feet.
New Showing Is Reported,
Local men have awarded a drill.
