ing the oil zone from 5056 to 1896,
excluding the gas zone, 50z7 to

zone a 5,000-gallon slug of acid
This procedure has proven sue

the development of this area, seven

oil present in the field. This area

Bulletin No 751C.
This well is financed by business

Fort Peck dam. The contractors are
Kroeger Son and John Leland.
This well is reported drilling at
around 1000 feet. The red beds
were found just below 800 feet,
logging 80 feet higher than the

CLAIM SHOW
OF OIL CORED
IN Deep TEST

REPORTS of showings of oil in the
California company's 1O,0O0-foot
deep test on Nesson dome in north
Dakota are contained in the fol-
lowing item which appeared in the
Minot Daily News:
RAY, N. D.-.Statements to the
contrary Notwithstanding, informa-
ton is in the possession of people
of Ray that three distinct showings
of oil have been encountered in the
drilling of the deep test well on the
NeIs Ramp farm on Nesson flats
in southeast Williams county.
Persons in position TO know con-
tend that an eight foot core Of
heavily saturated oil sand was bret
to the surface within the past week.
To what extent this showing might
develop into a producing well Is
something that observers would not
predict.
One subject that is being discus
sed is that of validating leases In
case a producing well is brot in.
Sentiment is expressed here that
despite the natural urge to have the
field developed as rapidly as pos
sible. that the landowners of the
district will adopt a reasonable at
titude toward time for valuation
The log of the well is a closed
book so far as the general public
is concerned. 1t is available only
to a federal inspector who visits
the property weekly. The 1887
legislature amended the old law
which made such logs available to
all interested property owners.
Leases on about 5000 acres OF
state lands in Mckenzie county call
for the drilling of a deep test we'll

fore Sept. /, 1888. Recently the
California Company applied to the
state for an extension of 80 days !
in order that operations on the i,

could be completed and the. same |

Unless drilling is started by the
prescribed date, the leases will

ROTARY TOOLS
GOING SLOWLY
IN HARD LIE

Slow progress is reported from
the proposed Devonian test of the
California company ON Dupuyer an
ticline. IL miles southwest of the
town of Dupuyer in Teton county,
as the rotary bits encountered the
flint-like Madison limestone. Gable
tools used in a previous test on
these lines, south of Dupuyer an
ticIine. had difficulty in making
hole and the use of rotary bits was
watched with interest by rope

the lime is so hard that in some in
