The heavy trucklOads Of pipe, TIM
bers and machinery which have been
going through town the last few days
are from the late $50 Bill No. 2. which
proved to be a duster. The drilling
rig and pipe are being taken to the.
James Bough ranch near Arlington
where It Is being set up and the Ha-
ger -Stevenson-B -Bough well wiIl be
drilled ON that structure. The $50
Bill was unlucly from the first and
besides striking fissured material in-l
stead Of solid for considerable depth
they finally ran into an intrusive bed
Of lime which, according to the reports
Of the geologists. had no business
there anyway. Further drilling may
be done either to the north or south
Of the location Of the No. 2 later. The
drilling Of this hole has given valu-
able data for future reference and the
fact that this was not successful does
not mean that there is no oil on the
structure. The Hager-Stevenson
