BAILED WELL.

The drillers started bailing the well
during the middle of the week and
when the well was bailed to the bot
tom of the hole, large quantities of
oil were brought out. Five times the
bailer was run to the bottom of the
hole and oil of high gravity, similar
to the Lockhart crude, was brought
up.
Driller Armstrong ordered the crew
to put the bit back in the hole and
drill the well deeper into the forma-
ton, which is believed to be 200
feet deep. This is expected to be
completed shortly and then the well
will be completed.
With the heavy gas pressure in the
hole, it is probable that the well will
flow.

LAND LEASED.

The territory around the Thomas
Jordan test is practically all leased
up and should the well be completed
as a producer, there would be drill
ing rush. Both the Magnolia and
Grayburg pipe lines run near the
well, which would make it easy to
care for the production.
Another important wildcat is the
Bailey Robert Quinn. a short dis
lance from the field. Casing was set
in this test at 1900 feet over a good
showing in the Serpentine. Compile
ton of this we'll as n producer would
prove several hundred acres on. the
Riddle lease to the north.
The Gulf Production Company COM
pleted its No. Riddle in the proven
area for about 200 barrels at the regu-
lar depth.

IMPORTANT WELL.

The Pierce Junction field has been
averaging between $50 and 800 bar
rels for several months and this new
well is the first producer completed
since last fall, of any consequence.
Oil from the new well is being
flowed into earthen storage until ar
rangements can be made for storage
facilities.
The Lockport field, near Lake
Charles, La, was extended 1000 feet
west by the Vacuum Oil Company'S
Miller No. 8, which was completed
exactly a, week ago. This well came
in for $500 barrels of pipe line oil.
from 1902 feet, and was holding to
it's initial output late in the week.
A slight increase in the temperature
of the oil had been noticed. but this
was not taken as a serious indication
of salt water, due to the depth of the
well. The output is pipe line oil So
far

FIELD YEAR OLD.

About a year ago the first we'll in
the Lockport field was completed by
the Vacuum Oil Company, in its
Miller No. /. This test made about
the same amount of oil at the begin
ming as the recent producer, but Mil
Ter No. 1 has since gone largely to
salt water. Its cuput is now about
1900 barrels of fluid, with approx
mately 200 barrels of oil.
Since Miller No. 1 was completed
drilling has been going on continu-
ously at Lockport, and several dry
holes have been abandoned in efforts
to locate a salt done.
Just now seven tests are drilling
which might properly be classed as
wildcats, though some of these are in
territory that is considered proven for
production. All of the tests but one
are being drilled by the Vacuum, since
this company holds all the acreage
considered good for production,

WELL AT HULL.

Hull got a 15OO-barrel well in the
Cuffs No. So Phoenix Development
Company. The sand was picked up
at 1850 feet. Mecom Oil Company's
No. 4 Taylor, a workover, was good
for $50 barrels from 402S feet.
Two small producers comprised the
competitions from South Liberty. Sin
clair's Condict Fee No. 4, made 25O
barrels from 1926 feet, and No. 0
Deussen Fee, Gulf Production Com
pany, pumped 40 barrels.
At Saratoga Paggi Brothers No. Z
Lewis flowed 800 barrels from 1925
feet, but the Rio Bravo and E. W.
Skinner each abandoned a well.
Humble got an SS-barrel pumper at
Goose Greek in its No. 6S Sims
Smith.

QUIT THREE WELLS.

Among wildcat operations in Other
parts of the Gulf Coast, three wells
were abandoned, all of them in Texas.
The Gulf Production Company gave
up its Davis No. 4, in Fort Bend
County, as a failure at 1900 feet.
In jefferson County, the Houston Oil
Company abandoned its Sun Davis 3
at 1900 feet, and the Vacuum Oil
Company quit its R. Teel No. 1. in
Hardin County, at 1920 feet. None
of these wells had showings.
Sixteen competitions made up the
work reported from oil fields in the
Texas coast during the week. Initial
production amounted to 6300 barrels
from nine producers. The total out
put of the district was 5000 barrels,
which represents a decrease OF more
than 5000 barrels against last week.
Orange showed the best wells. The
Gulf Production Company worked
over its No. Lee Hager Fee and got
2000-barrel producer from 1920
feet. The Orange Petroleum Com
pany's No. 6 Chesson, a new well,
made 1900 barrels initial flow from
1888 feet. Atlantic Oil Producing got
a 1S-barrel producer in its No. 4
Moore, a workover, and the Gulf got
a dry hole in its No. 10 F. 7. Peveto.

HURLEY SCHOOLS PRAISED
BY STATE OFFICER
The School System, Officials and
Instructors Commended by State
Supt. Callahan.

The school beard is in receipt of a
letter from John A. Callahan, state
superintendent of public instruction,
in which he commends the local
school system, the school officials
and the instructors, making parti-
cular mention of the new South Side
building. The text of the letter in
part is as follows:
Il find on my desk report of
supervisor Schmidt who visited your
schools February 10th. | note from
this report that everything is going
along very nicely and the supervisor
comments especially upon the fact
that both student and teacher re-
action were very satisfactory.
Evidently the administration of your
schools is in good hands. 1t was
therefore felt that it would not be
necessary to call your school board
together for a conference especially
as the supervisors time was limited.
| have comparatively few recon-
mendations to make as based upon
the supervisors report.
Il note the enthusiastic comments
of the supervisor with reference to
the addition and remodeling of the
south side building. This appears
to be very excellent modern type
of structure now and your board is
to be congratulated upon its step.
| am quite sure that this will relieve
the situation in your community to a
considerable extent. Permit me to
express my pleasure at this good
report rendered"

School Children Given Physical
Examinations.

Dr. DeNevue, state health officer,
from Rhinelander, assisted by Mrs
Josephine Gerry, county nurse and
Roy Melvin, physical training in
structor, gave the children of the
Lincoln school building a thorough
physical examination on Wednesday.
He examined the children for faulty
heart and pulse action, as well as for
goitre indications. Ninety-five per-
cent of the children manifested
symptoms of goitre in different
forms, he said. DR.. DeNevue re-
commended that treatment be given
only to those children whom it would
benefit. The treatment, which CON
sists of one iodine tablet per week
will act as a complete preventative
of goitre development as well as a
curative, it is claimed. The school
board will purchase a quantity of
these tablets and they will be given
out as indicated by the teachers, but
only to those pupils whose parents
wish them to have the treatment.
The work will be done under the
supervision Of the county nurse.
The children were also examined
for adenoids and defective tonsils,
DIR. DeNevue will return and will
finish the work at the Meadeville,
Hinkle and Kimball schools, next
week. The South Side school
children as well as those at Montreal,
Pence, Cary and Gle, will be
examined by local physicians.
