of bang the well with bang bucket being elm
being largely used In 1921 production from gus
amounted to 10 cent of the total gross production
in 1923 to Is million poods per production
Drilling
only by fresh borngs that production on an ofe can
be maintained or increased In 1913 1898 saens drilled
owing to the difficulty of obtaining labor and material this fell
during the to S243O sajens 1917 During revolution
airy period in 1919 only 5000 saens drilled of the whole

1000 saens registered In 1929 however
organization already in working order the
borngs was increased to 23661 saens estimated
4OOO sens VIII be completed by the end of the year.
From this increased drilling activity marked increase of pro-
duction is expected the year 1925
