BAILER REMOVED
AT king TEST
Esperts "ShOOt" NichOI No. /
Late Yesterday In Effort
To Remove Lost Bit.

reSs at the hlng NO. lesC Ill
24-11-25, two miles east oil
town, last Friday, the sand
line broke and left the ybailer
in the we'll. Several days were
lost while awaiting a fishing
tool, which was received Wed
nesday and the lost bailer
promptly removed. NJ Thur
man was determined to play
safe, so he secured a special
tool for the job; it is said there
were only three in the ElDora-
do field and all of them in use,
on similar fishing jobs, hence
delay in removing the bailer.
The casing at the well was
renewed yesterday and a new
packer is now awaited. AS the
packer used, which is of the or
dinary type, failed to shut off
the water as a test of the sand
could be made, President Thur
man has ordered specially
constructed 8-foot rubber pack
err which he hopes will prove
effective.
Some have urged cementing
the casing on the strength of
the splendid oil showing of
last week, but Mr.. Thurman
has wisely decided not to do so
if the water can be shut off by
use of a packer: Should the
5-inch casing be cemented at
the presnet depth of 2140 feet
and the sand fail to produce,
drilling deeper would be diff
cult.
AS stated last week, the sand
uncovered at this well is a
splendid oil sand and was sat
urated with oil, even after be-
ing bailed out through salt
water coming from a thin sta
ia of sand just above the oil
sand. 1t is probable that the
oil has now been forced back
into the sand for some distance,
due to the heavy water pres
sure, and that considerable
bailing and swabbing will be
necessary when a test is made
before the oil will again show
up.
Mr.. Thurman said late yes
terday that he hoped to be able
to make a test of the sand early
next week.
Manager Myers of the Hemp
stead Oil Company has had his
crew Fishing" patiently for
the lost reamer bit at the Mich

The problem of bringing the
heavy bit out, which is broken
off smoothly where it connects
with the drill stem, is difficult.
AS a last resort, Mr.. Myers de-
cideG to attempt to sidetrack
hte bit with a shot. Mr.. Miers,
professional we'll shooter of Ell
Dorado. arrived yesterday and
the. well was "shot" late in the
afternoon. The crew went
back out last night and ran the
drill stem, but they have not
yet found out what success
attended the shot. The drill
is said to have been rotated for
two hours on hard formation,
about two feet above where
the lost bit had rested, and the
stem will be removed this (Fri-
day. morning to determine
whether the obstruction is dis
located rock or the lost bit.

the unfortunate fishing JOB to

Moore was popular and industrious
title in a decision match. with a
rich purse involved, he was capably
managed and made a lot Of money,
Several years ago he was per.
suaded to make an investment in a

fighter had $4,000 In savings. The
proposition looked good. An old
friend had presented it. All of
Moore's money went into 1t.
Investment Scars
The business fiourished spectacu-

worth 100000 Later it scared to
$4,000. Moore decided he had
had enough OF fighting. At the
height Of his skill and at a time
when the ring was paying its biggest
dividends the bantamweight stepped
down. Why work for a paltry
So 900 when you can make a real
fortune doing nothing?"
Moore hasn't fought for a year
or so Mostly he has been motoring
through the country and making
professional visits to stock brokers.

This was strange chatter, coming
from a fighter who had cleaned up
sufficiently in stocks to retire when
he was still good enough to whip
the champions. BY now you
