Indications are that early next
week. the Chlckasha gas field will
have there moro producers. with
several more wells nearing the level
OF the pay sand and perhaps one
or Two ccmented ON the Niehlos
sand.
The next producers are to be the
American Drilling company. San.
ford farm. in the southeast of the
southwest Of the southwest OF sec.
tion 28-5n.Sw and the Stogner and
Baldwin we'll. Sanford farm. in the
southwest OF the northwest Of the
southwest OF the same section. These
wells cemented about the same
time One OF the officials OF the
American Drilling company stated
this morning that they would drill
In early next week. II is believed
that the Siogner well will be drilled
In about the same time.
Skid Rig In Sec. 10.
After trying for period of some
ten days to loosen the frozen cas-
ing, Arrasmith and McBee have CIV
en- III 'he job and have skidded
their rig on the Thomas farm, sec
ton 19-5n-7w where a good oil sand
was picked up at slightly below
1900 feet.
Samples of the sand have been
tested and there seems little doubt
IN the minds of oil men that they
will make an oil well. When they
started to set casing more than two
weeks ago, It became frozen in the
hole with the bottom joint about
400 feet above the sand. All efforts
TO loosen the easing have pre- n
unsuccessful. It is estimated that
some IL TO 20 days will be required
to drill to the level of the sand
again. The rig was slSidded 100
feet south and work is to start at
once.
est rOIIHdttOn III OCT. ".
Holmes, Wharton and Allen, in
the southeast of the southeast of
section 12-5n-Sw are still testing the
formations at about the level of the
Nichlos sand 1900 feet in an effort
to determine the advisability of
setting casing.
A. A. Holmes, one of the owners
of the well, reported some days ago
that they had picked up a gas sand
that had considerable kick" in it
and that they expected to get a
well. They are testing the thick
ness of the sand and are today un-
decided about setting casing, accord
ing to p. z. Allen, who is also in
terested in the well It is consid-
cred to be very important test
for the reason that it is fully two
miles north of the main producing
area.
Rigging Up al Harness.
After a shut down OF several
weeks, the offset to the old Harness
well is to get started again for a
test of a reported sand at around
$500 feet, according to those inter
ested in the well this morning.
Drill stem is on the ground, it is
reported and the work of rigging up
for the test is under way. This well
has been under way for months.

awarded yesterday by H. B. Spencer
