--- Kirk Oil company and Cra-
ham Mineral Trust well No. on
the Bennett farm, in the northwest
of the northwest Of the northeast
quarter of section 81, 2s-2w, Gra-
ham district. is flowing 26O barrels
from the sand topped at 2,1SO feet
and penetrated to 2,145 feet with
the drill still in the pay. Gravity
of the oil tests "a at co degrees.
The oil is flowing into the slush pit
awaiting the erection Of a 1900
barrel wooden tank which is Bing
rushed to completion. At the pres
ent time there is no pipe line avail.

output Of the No. l from the deep
pay being carried through n 2inch

chasing company. Although uncon-
firmed reports have it that the
Sinclair people are running 3-inch
line to the field.
The No. is flowing with gas pres
sure from the 2,130-foot sand, which
assures the existence of prolific pay at
its present depth. When originally
brought In, the well was flowing with
a great part of its pressure believed to
be coming from an upper gas sand
drilled through at 2,045 feet. The hole

inch castings Saturday. shutting off the

has occurred, there has been little, if
any, decrease in the strength of the
flow.
AS soon as pipe line connection is
available it is very probable that the
operators of the No. = will drill deeper
into the sand with effort to get pro-
duction from two sands known to ex-
list at deeper levels, and which have
yielded good output in other wells in
the district.
Deserves Better Price.
Sufficient development has already
occurred in the Graham pool with sat
isfactory results to warrant the entry
into the field of a pfpe line of big ca
pacity which will insure immediate con-
nection to wells as they hit the pay.
There is no doubt but that in the very
near future more of the purchasing
companies will be i'm competition in the
2s-2w area. The gravity Of the oil,
which tests IS in the 2,G40-foot sand
and "a in the 2,130-foot sand. warrants
active interest on the part Of the pipe
line companies and also is enttled to
the Mid.Contnent quotation, for the
crude is equal to that found in the
Hewitt and other pools which are re-
ceiving the 50 figure. At the present
time Graham oil is quoted at the Heald
ton price. The Graham oil found dur
ing the past few weeks has a strictly
paraffine base. Many operators desir
