moved to the we'll of the Atlantic

Though the showing in the spray

state that the drill had just touched

Atlantic officials have made no pub

with reference to cleaning out the

lieve that they will go into the well
after January and drill deeper
for thorough test. The moving OF
tankage from Duncan supports this
belief.
