Area North

The border nose" area north of
the town of Sunburst, and far north
of the producing area of the Kelvin
Sunburst field proper, came back
into the limelight again this week
when Thorp- Holbrook No. 2, Sc
NV NE 2-36-3W, got 1900 feet of
oil in the hole when it drilled into
the basal Ellis at 2063 feet
This Is the area that attracted
wide attention in May, 1871, when
a well drilled by Slim Parent, less
than quarter of a mile southwest
of the Thorp completion, flowed
several heads of AIT gravity oil
when it was drilled into the basal
Ellis. Faulty condition of the hole
prevented it's ever being really
placed on production.
Despite the proof furnished by
this well that the area was one de-
serving attention, there has been
almost no additional drilling on the
structure.
Meantime. the Kevin-Sunburst
field proper had three competitions
during the week.
