In tho matter OF gas wells. the
Chiekasha field is safely by the un-
lucky thirteen and romping away
toward what oil men believe viii be
production record for the south
west and without dry hole to con-
demn territory.
Demonstrating that the unlucky

broken string of producers, the Mag
nola No. 3, southwest of the south
east of section 26-5n.Sw. blew in
this morning for the fields four
teenth giant well with volume
estimated at around 35.00O,00O rubic
feet 1t is an east offset to tho Le-
Master No. 1, the smallest well in
the field and supports the theory
that the casing in the LeMaster
we'll was get too deep.
NlchIos Gets Thirteenth.
The Nichlos Drilling company
further shattered the supposed moo
doc" by landing in the fields thir-
teenth well, what J. b. Nichlos de
clares is the biggest well In the
field, larger in fact that his No. !
discovery well, which was the won
der of all shallow gas fields.
The Nichlos No. came in Mon
day afternoon and, according to the
owner threatened to tear the der
rick apart from the force of the
flow. 1t was estimated by Mr.
Nichlos as considerably larger than
No. i, which well gauged 49,500,O0O
cubic feet day. The Nichlos esti
mate, places the volume at well
above 50,OO0,GO0 cubic feet. The
Nichlos No 4 and the Magnolia No.

dfction in the field up to more Than
45O,0O0,OOO cubic feet of gas a day.
other Producers Busy.
With the Arrasmith and McBee
we'll in section 19-5n-7w, setting
casing on what is reported to be a
rich oil sand, other producers are
hustling to get to the 1927 foot
mark, at which point the oil sand
was struck.
Apparently the Mummert Drilling
will be the first to reach
that depth, following the report of
the oil strike by Arrasmith and Nc
Bee. The Mummert company in sec
tion 13-5n-Sw has passed the Nichlos
gas sand level at around 1900 feet
and is grinding away for the deeper
sand.
The report of the oil sand strike
in the Jones, Hughes and Badgett
well, section 15-5n-7w, several miles
east of the gas field, has put new
life in operation around that terri
tory. Luginbyhl ct al. in section
32-6n-7w and Cant and Arrasmith
in section 27-5n-7w, both wildcats,
are nearing the 1925 foot level.
More Rigs Are Building.
New rigs are going up on the
fringe of production in the gas
field and those already erected are
starting work.
Briscoe and Miles, section 35-5n-
Sw, a west offset to the Nelson
gasser, have spudded.
The Atlantic Oil company, section
25-5n-Sw, is moving in tools.
The American Drilling company
and Sandford ct al, both in section
2s-5n-Sw. are drilling, both being
down several hundred feet.
Briscoe ct al, wildcat in the
extreme southern part of Grady
county, section 36-3n-Sw, found
barren sand at 1775 and will con-
tinue to a deeper level.
Holmes, Wharton and Allen, Sec
tion 12-5n-Sw, are drilling at around
600 feet.
Nichlos, wildcat, the 20. C. w.
WELL" a mile and a half south of
Chickasha, section S-6n-7w, is shut
