south of Cat Creek oil field, has
10-inch casing set at $50 feet, for
formation shut-off. and is now
drilling below 1141 feet. It is the
intention of the owners to under

down to the Mosby sand where
oil and gas showings are expect
ed. This horizon has shown oil in
many wells in the district although
nowhere in commercial quantities
Drillers say-that there is always the
possibility that this horizon may
produce, so precautions are taken
to have the hole in shape when the
Mosby is penetrated.
Rattlesnake Butte structure is a

field that has produced around

production is found in one of the
four known sands above the lime.
