OIL OOzES Way
into SHOT
WELL, REPORT
Crude Trickles Over Top of
Casing in Hole Not Yet
to Sands, 1t Is Said.

Reports from Lewistown Wednesday
night were that oil in the Sure Shot
well in the southwest quarter of Sec
ton IA, township Is north, range %
east. in the Cat Greek field, had risen
to the top of the casing and is trickling
owe the top.
The Sure Shot has not been drilled
for some time, operations having been
discontinued when it was a short dis
lance above the level where production
was found in the second sands by the
Mid Northern and Frantz gushers. II
has been known for some time that oil
was seeping into the casing but this is
the first time there has been report
of it going over the top.
Mile From Gushers
In view of the fact that the well is
drilled into the sand. oil men re-
gard the fact that the oil has forced
its way to the top as significant of the
extent of the heavy production in this
horizon. The well is virtually a mile
from the two gushers.
The report was brought to Lewis
town by an employe of the Mosby Con
solidated. While that company is not
interested in that part of the field,
the man had passed by the Sure Shot
and said he had seen the well. David
Trett of the Mosby Consolidated made
the report public.
Reports from the Frantz well was
that the flow has been pinched down
to 5000 barrels a day and is being
into the large $4,000 barrel stor-
age tank on the ground.
To Drill Sure Shot Down
The indications are that there will
be at least two additional wells in
the second production of the field by
July +. with a third soon after. The
No. g. an offset to the Mid
Northern gusher. is now down 800 feet
and with good drilling should make the
sands by that time. The 80" P%etrole-
has announced that its well will be
July 4.
The officers of the Sure Shot, prior
to the present reported conditions, had
announced that it would drill its well
down and should the conditions prove
as reported. it is considered that the
of heavy production in this
well are also good
The report of production in the Sure
Shot first came TO operators in Great
and occasioned considerable ex-
element. it being reported to be pro-
iucing heavily.
