OIL SHOWINGS
ARE PREVALENT
AT HATFIELD

During the past week officers OF
the Hatfield No. 2 Oil company have
been very much encouraged over the
progress that has been made and
over the showings that have been en-
countered.
Monday evening drilling was sus-
pended with the hole standing at q
depth of 1905 feet. At the present
time ten inch casing is being landed
and within a few days this work will
be completed and the hole carried
down to the Dakota sand II neces-
sary.
Several years since oil was en-
countered at the Armstrong well near
the lake but later drilling failed 20
strike this oil. Hatfield OIL com
pany has drilled two wells during
the past couple years and IN both
cases excellent gas wells were
brought in. The test well being
drilled by Hatfield No. 2 is consider
able distance from the No. 2 well
of the Hatfield Co. and Is much
nearer the original we'll drilled by
Mr.. Armstrong.
Appearances are that this new test
well IL in the oil zone and not in
the gas one, as during the past week
two fine showings OF oil have been
encountered at depths which In Hat
field wells No. / and 2 showed gas.
The baler and tools have been COM
ing up covered with oil and all in
dications are that the wall creeks
In this well should produce oil in
stead OF gas.
President Hatfield Monday evening
decided to stop drilling until the ten
Inch casing could be landed as 1t
VIII require only about 1000 feet OF
additional drilling to carry the hole
to the Wall creek sands, where II is
believed that oil will be encounter
ed. In case oil Is not struck in the
Wall creek sands the hole will be
carried to the Dakota sands. which
VIII be found at approximately 1000
feet.
Directors OF Hatfield No. 2 OIL COM
pany state that stock r. being sub
scribed very satisfactorily and that
this test well viii be complied this
winter.

of a small r that chung to the
wall. while Mrs. Roberts went
