Preparations are being made today
by Arrasmith and MoBee to set
casing on tho oil sand reported ut
is27.47. in section i95.7w. on tho
Thomas farm.
Mr.. McBee. one OF tho owners.
stated this morning that after a con-
ference between himself. Arrasmith.
Bill Fowler and Walter Cant. all OF
whom are interested. II was de-
cided to SGT casing without further
corc.barrolIng.
The owners believe that they havo
a producing oil sand that viii mako
good well. They do not venture n
guess as to the probable size OF the
we'll, but all agree that Il will mako
an oil producer. Casing has been
ordered and should be run Monday
or Tuesday. Mr.. McBee declared
that they would perhaps lot tho
casing set IA days before drilling
and baIlng the well. Early In De-
cember. he says. they will deliver
TO Grady county an oil well.
Two Gassers Due Today.
Two new wells. and possibly three
are scheduled for the Chickasha gas
field today, according to reports
coming from the field this morning.
The new wells. the report says.
are the Magnolia No. 3. In section
26-5n-Sw, the Nichlos No. 4, samo
section and the Mummert Drilling
company in section 13-5n-Sw Mich
los and Magnolia, oil men feel cer-
tain, will yield large gas production
as they are we'll within the pro-
ducing area. II was known this
morning that they were practically
ready for competitions. Mr.. Nichlos.
at his office here, stated early to-
day that In all probability, his well
would be completed before night.
There was no official report from
company men on the Magnolia here
this morning. the information that
the well would be brought in today
coming from the field.
Some oil men here think the Num-
inert well in section 13-5n-Sw, will
result in we'll, while others ave
skeptical. Some who have seen
specimens of the sand state that
in all probability, Mummert will
have to go to the level of the Ar
rasmith and McBee well before get
ting production. He is now at the
Nichlos gas sand level.
However, reports from parties In
the field this morning, were to the
effect that the we'll probably would
be brought in today. The Farwell
City reports indicated that in tho
field the belief was that Mummert
would make well.
Briscoe Due Monday.
The J. J. Briscoe well, on the J.
M. Briscoe farm, south of Rush
Springs, is scheduled to be drilled
in Sunday night, 1t was learned. Hc
is between 1900 and 1900 feet deep
and, according to reports was sew
eral feet in sand when he backed
up and set casing.
It was given out definitely this
morning that the drilling of the plug
will start about midnight Sunday
and that the job of bailing the well
will get going Monday noon, accord
ing to present arrangements.
More or less Of a lull v9s appar-
ent in Chickasha today. Some OF
the oil men who have been here
for week, returned to their head
quarters today for the weekend.
Taking their place, however, more
new visitors arrived. Trading was
hardly as active last night in the
hotel lobbies as the night previous.
the answer being that the first
play" on the Arrasmith-McBee
strike of oil sand, had passed.
Many of the oilers will wait to
see the well tested before going any
stronger on acreage, it is believed.
At that, some of the big buyers
have plastered the area fairly well
with leases and up to last night the \
sections around the Thomas farm
were overrun with lease hunters.
1t is expected that the oil men
will be back in the city in full force
with more than full quota by Mon.
day morning.
