Developments in the Lost Soldier

Mile structure. and upon Separation

important weeks in the year for To-

standing factors in this weeks pro-
gram are the big Hatfield gasser,

as fine as any on that dome at pres
ent; progress thru increasingly good
quantities of green shale oil at the
Bell Springs well on Separation
Flats; and PROCESS at the Ohio Oil
Company's we'll on section SO. at
Little Sand Springs.
Aside from the actual value of
the Producers and Refners well at
Belle Springs, this development is
OF major importance since 1t proves
q new field As oil producing after
several wells drilled in that neigh
bor-hood had seemed to disprove It.
The geological staff OF the drilling
company. not content with earlier
findings. succeeded In locating the
apex OF the lone and an oil we'll Is
the result. There only remains the
question of volume at this well,
since high grade green oil with a
p%arafin base now stands practically
hole-high.
Drilling at the Ohio Company's
well on section 36 is now going on
at 3O95 to 300 feet. having pene-
trated thru successive layers of
shale and n sand that may be mem
bers OF the Sundance. In each
stratum oil showings were encount-
cred and 1t looked like an oil well
each time. Oddly enough. black
oil, brown oil. and green oil have all
been found between the depths OF
294O and 300 feet.
Operations in the Mahoney Dome
