for some time this weekend. The
test cored five feet Of he~avily-Sat-
urated sand on February IS, at g.
053-58 feet beneath a hard cap at
3,049-53 feet. Legal troubles In con-
nection with titles delayed a test
early in the week and repairs TO
machinery caused further delay
Thursday. Considerable acreage has
changed hands during rather fren-
zied trading throughout the week,
high prices having been paid in view
of the fact that only n saturated
core forms the basis for the activity.

date development.
