this well was held up about n week.
The hole was $3.50 feet deep when
the crew started to driil in October

been run into this hole. The pay is
expected between 3.065 and 1000
feet, as the Dalton found the pay at
the 3,965.foot depth. This well Is
only 7I6 feet from the big producer
and good well Is looked for.
The Dalton field is now thoroughly
defined and the unsatisfactory re-
suits obtained south and west of the
discovery well has concentrated at
tenuon on tho eastern section Of
the field. Most Of tho acreage east
of the well ls controlled by Dalton
interests. To date only two derricits
have been erected east Of the Dal-
ton--the Miller-Dalton and the Will

OF great Importance 20 the Dalton
field Is the report that y. i. Hil-
dreth, well-known Fort Worth op-
orator, has taken over the Clark
Dalton we'll at a depth OF 4,035 feet.
Hldreth has agreed with the owners
OF this we'll TO drill TO a depth or
4,5e0 feet. According TO the Clark
Dalton company, a good showing or
oil was obtained In a sandy shalc al
1915 feet. which confirms the gem
eral belief that there is a decided
dip running north OF the Dalton, and
which was further proven by the
fact that the Magnolia company got
their pay 43 feet deeper than the
Dalton well. Mr.. Hildreth made a
complete survey OF the territory
around the Dalton and is OF the
opinion he viii get the pay In the
Clark-Dalton within the next 25 feet.
