The finding Of the deep pay in the No.
! is Of more than ordinary interest in
that many local people viii profit by
the discovery. The operators Of the well

a half interest and is composed of DR..

interest.
The well was started five years ago by
the Bristow Brothers and drilled TO e70
feet at which depth 20.foot sand was
topped which was estimated was pro
ductiye Of three to five barrels of %
| gravity oil. Drilling was continued and
carried on to 1000 feet where another
2U.foot oil sand was encountered. but
water beneath il forced the operators
10 case it off. Deeper drilling was car
ried ON 10 400 feet where 4 gas sand
was penetrated with production OF 49,.
100000 cubic feet. The Lone Star Gas
company was paid bonus of SIS 900
In sas 70 build a line to the well from
the town Of Zita and for THREE years
the well produced gas. At the end OF
the third year although stin produc-
ing about 600 900 cubic feet with rock
pressure diminished to 1870 pounds, the
gas was mudded off, and the well drill
ed Deeper. At 204J feet q 1j.ioot sand
was topped with production of 1000 600
cubic feet Of gas. underneath which was
found an S-barrel oil sand 30 feet thick,
a 15.fUot oil sand was found produc-
tive ~ lS barrels The next pay was
the present producing horizon at 264O
fet.
The persistent efforts put forth by
the operators of this test III seeking
a prolific oil pay in the Graham dis
tiict had brought i continuous round
o. CCngratulation from the members OF
the local fraternity in a most deserving
manner. Staying with II" for five
years has no doubt established record
for stick -toitiveness" which has been
well rewarded.
