HUMMING ALONG
With ACTIVITY
First Cleanup of Two Hundred
Ton Mill Will Be Made
About December |

The new cyanide mill Of the Can
delara Mines company is running
like watch and Is now treating an
average Of more than 200 tons Of
ore daily with an extraction of met
ais considerably higher than was
indicated by laboratory tests. The
units now in commission have been
operating day and night without a
hitch and without moment OF lost
time Precipitation and filtering
were started this week and the bic
sand stacker was put in use Thurs
day. The long inclined COnveyor
used 10 stack waste sand from the
mill is similar in design to that EN-
ployed for like purpose by the lono-
pah Mining company at It's Desert
mill at Millers.
The first clean up Of the mill IS
expected to take place about Dec. l..
by which time the plant should be
operating nearly at capacity. 1t is
now indicated that the capacity OF
the present equipment will be ap'
proximately $50 tons daily, instead or
800 tons as rated by the designers
The tonnage is being increased grad
ually in order to develop together
the economic and metatlurgical
phases Of the process and early next
year additional equipment will be in
stalled that will give a capacity OF
between 500 and 600 tons daily

Unique Contract Exists
Between Texas Company
and Guy Cobb of this City

What is believed 10 be the only
contract OF its kind in existence Is
one which now exists between Guy
=. Cobb, prominent member Of the
local oil fraternity. and the Texas
Company. BY the terms OF the con.
tract. the Texas Com1ny reserves
for itself the right TO explore for oil
on acreage belonging to Mr.. Cobb in
the shallow field OF Stephens county.
below 4 level OF 1000 feet. and ex.
ercises the privilege OF ingress and
egress for the purpose of such ex-
ploration on, the lands. The contract
states further that Mr.. Cobb is not 10
drill any well on the lands to a greater
depth than 1000 feet or to take from
under the lands any oil or gas beyond
that depth. In the event that Cobb
or his assignees drill TO a depth be.
low 1000 feet, and get production,
the yield becomes the property Of the
Texas Company, all oil found above
1000 feet is the property Of Mr.. Cobb
or his Assigns.
The drawing up Of the contract,
which is dated September IL. 1920,
occurred following drilling operations
by the Texas Company on the lands
which resulted In the uncovering of n
shallow sand, but failed to bring pro.
ducdon in an attempted deep test.
The first test was put down by the
Texas Company in the northeast quar-
ter Of the southeast quarter OF the
southwest quarter OF section &c, ls.5w,
by Contractor Ed Felmlee Of this
city with standard outfit.
Four showings Of oil were encoun.
tered during the drilling, but the hole
was lost at 2002 feet and abandoned.
Following the abandonment, at loca-
ton was made on the Fort lease in
the northwest Of the northeast quar-.
ter of section /, 2s.5w and contract
was let to the Comanche Drilling
Company, for q 1900-foot test. Two
showings were encountered at 1340
feet and 17l4 feet, the latter being
so encouraging that operations were
shut down waiting on orders, which
later instructed completion Of the con.
tract and drilling was carried to a
total depth Of 1892 feet. The test
was standardized at this depth and
while cleaning out the hole, the well
blew in from a gas sand, blowing
the tools out and throwing water and
oil over the derrick, which caught
fire and was burned to the ground.
The derrick was rebuilt and opera
tons resumed but the company was
never able to get below 14O0 feet or
shut out the gas. Further efforts
to complete the well were suspended
and in June 1890. the Texas Company
disposed Of its acreage with the ex-
ception Of the tracts on which it is
retaining the deep rights.
Mr.. Cobb has leased the lands to
various operators who now have pro-
duction from shallow sands above
1000 feet.
