cd following consumInation OF a con.
tract between Edwards Brothers Of
this city and c. A. Dulaney, p c.

whereby six shallow wells and one 2000
foot test are TO be drilled on a 20-acre
tract located on the Wiley Jackson farm
in the north half of the northeast quar-

l6, ls2w. Operations on the first well
are to be started within 4O days and
operations on the five remaining shal.
low wells must be started at intervals
Of 40 days thereafter Twelve months
is the time limit for the starting Of the
deep test, however. according TO the
parties interested in the contract, oper.
atons on the deep test as well as on
the shallowrer wells are to be com
menced Immediately Machines of the

Ell route to the lease.
The shallow production Is obtained in
the area al depths ranging from lsO
feet TO 200 feet. with estimate Of pro
cucton reported as at two to ten bar
rels Of oil Of about 20 gravity which
contains about So per cent lubricating
oil of a high grade and q small per cent

suits
Two shallow wells were drilled on the
Edwards Brothers lease years ago but
were abandoned when the operators
which drilled them left for BurkbWnett
