Important Oil Discoveries II

Under the above heading the
Fort Worth Texas Oil Bulletin has
the following to say Of the we'll

The accompanying map, which
shows the great block of leases to
the Mississippi Oil & Refining Com
pany located directly on the crest
Of the Cypress Pond anticline, shows
also the axis of this anticline.
Several miles north OF the location
Of the No. well Of the Mississippi
Oil & Refining Company the Pitts
well is now drilling at depth of
around 1,400 feet. 1t will be
observed that the Pitts we'll is To-
Gated at least three and half miles
northwest of the axis OF the anti
cline, and it is Of course true that
the greatest accumulation and the
greatest production both Of oil and
gas may be expected on both TANKS
Of the anticline in close proximity
to its axis. Notwithstanding the
fact. however, that the Pitts well
IL located at least three and half
miles northwest of the axis OF this
anticline and probably too far north
for its northern closure in the Cy-
press Pond area, in drilling to the
present depth several highly i'm
portant showings Of oil and gas
haveibeen encountered. This fact
10 itself seems to render practically
certain the discovery Of several
prolific sands at the location Of the
No. i well Of the Mississippi Oil e.
Refining Company, this location
