Operators Racing for First
Completion In Wilcox Ares

The Adams-Wilcox pool, scene OF
the completion of the sensational
Radigan-Hungerford gusher a short
time ago, is still the center Of inter
est Of Kevin-Sunburst oil field oper-
ators, six new wells being started in
this area in the last week A large
number of wells are now drilling in
this pool and as many were started
at virtually the same time the drill
ing crews are racing to see which
will be able to reach the producing
sand first
The Radigan-Hungerford interests
have been running only from two
to three tanks of oil daily, but are
constructing new ''gun barrel
and expect to be able to clean the
soil SO that it will! be acceptable
I'd the pipe line operators as fast as
it is produced. When empty tanks
are available the we'll still makes an
excess Of 1000 barrels daily, but the
small pipe line runs recently haye
not permitted the operators to run
the well wide open for any length OF
time. The company now has more
than $500 barrels Of oil stored on
the lease in field tanks.
The Homestake4State No. S6 well
is one of the most interesting in the
field, from a geological standpoint,
as it was impossible to determine
where the EllislMadison contact was
located. The yellow shale, usually
found in all wells of the field, was
missing and no ISunburst sand was
discovered. The lEllis4Madfson con-
tact should have been found at l,44O
feet, but the black lime continued t0l
1 .46O feet, where drilling was halted

NEW YORK, June 2.-Railroat

In the foreign group French and

land Gs and IS were strong. There is
a disposition at the moment to reduce
commitments in German municipal,

to the speculative reverses in Germany
and to the banking strain, as well as
on account of Germany's unsatisfac-
