Big Pine Key Oil Well
Sets Florida Record
For Deepest Drilling
PASSED 1852 FEET OFF,
SUNNILAND WELL ON
SATURDAY; MAY END
AT $4,000
BY JOHN r. vosBURcH


City Editor, The Key West Citizen
All records for depth of oil
wells in Florida were smashed
ABOUT noon Saturday by the Big
Pine Key well of the Gulf Oil
Corporation. The drillers passed
the 13,5l2-foot mark held bv the
Humble No. Gulf Coast Realty
Co., wen near Sunnyside. Fla.
heretofore the deepest well in
the state.
By noon yesterday the rough
neckS," as drillers are known in
the oil game, HAD reached 1880
feet. 1t was doubtful, however.
that they would break the record
OF the deepest well in the world,
l6,6OO feet, held by a well in
West Texas.
James A. Tierney of Shreve-
port, La, geologist at the well,
said it was doubtful that drilling
will be continued much past the
14,OO0-foot mark because of the
prohibitive cost. No oil deposits
have been struck but some "oil
stains" as they are known to
biologists, have been revealed in
the material brought up by the
drill.
These stains, which are usual
ly visible only under the micro
scope, are an indication that de-
positS may be in the area. Tier
ney would make no predictions
other than to say that prospects
are good"
Meanwhile, a second Gulf well |
on Sugar Loaf Key, started early |
in October. passed the 3,000-foot
mark yesterday.
The Big Pine Key we'll broke !
all records for the Gulf Oil Cor !
poration a couple of weeks ago
when it passed the 1887 foot
mark. heretofore the deepest i,
that the company had ever
drilled. The day crew, under H.
L. Jones happened to be on duty |
when the state record was set. !
Several Key West men are work |
ing in the operation, which is
being conducted by Lyle Ca
shion, contractor.
Cashion built an articifial
island in Cowper Blight off Big
Pine Key before the. well was
started. Drilling is conducted ID
hours a day with day, morning
and night crews each handling
eight hour shifts under Robert
Tickle, production foreman, of
Freeport, Texas.
The former record well in
Florida, the Humble No. 2 Gulf
Coast Realty Co, is dry-hole
we'll drilled on the edge of the
Sunnyland Oil Field in Collier
county a year or so ago. Sunny
land is a village near the well;
Everglades is the nearest town
of any size.
Because of the extreme depth
of the Big Pine Key well it was
necessary recently to change the
drill casing from 4H2-inch to
3l2-inch size. The larger diam
eter casing weighed 100000
pounds.
The first few thousand feet
were easy going, Tierney says,
the coral and limestone yielding
easily to the drill, but when
dolomite was encountered the
progress was slowed. AT 8,0OO
feet anyhdrite, an especially hard
substance, began to appear and
is still the principal material be-
ing brought up.

What kind of a report do uni versailles send out to parents?
 Ans. No reports are ordinarily sent out to the parents of univers- ity students by the university or the colleges which make up uni versity. (The word college is ire quently used in this country to re- fer to a secondary school, and re- ports sent out by colleges of this type are similar to that which we printed in our issue of July, 1945. However, parents of student un- der the age of 21 may ask for a report from the university on the students conduct. Otherwise the only report consists of the publi- cation in national newspapers of the results of comprehensive ex- aminations taken at the end of the second and third years of the course. The highest grade is a First Class with distinction in a special field, then come First Class Honors, Second Class Hon. ors, Third Class Honors, and a Pass. Students who make no at tempt to take an Honor Degree are simply listed under this final category.

Cooperative Competitor Helps Veteran Stock His Store

Americans generally are eager to help the returning veteran to become established in civilian en- terprise, but it is questionable how many would be as coopera- tive as certain Mitchell County, Ga, business man whose generos- ity is recorded in recent issue of the Camilla Enterprise.
 Visiting the store set up by a veteran, this Georgian, who was long-established competitor, noted that the stock was made quate and knew that little was available from wholesalers. He re- turned to his well-stocked store and hauled part of his own stock down to the veteran, telling him he could pay for it when he sold it. Further, knowing that the vet eran was new in the business, he told him that when he was ready to go to Atlanta to buy goods, he would be glad to accompany him and show him the ropes"
 While I'm not advocating that every veteran should be treated by his competitors as in the case above," Harriette Burson, associ- ate editor of the Enterprise, ad- vises her readers, "I would re- mind all of you that there are any number of courtesies we might show the veterans that wouldn't cost us a cent but would mean lots to them"
