Gulf Coast Realty Co. well at
Sunniland, Florida, had been
passed in the work on the Florida
Keys. (The deepest well in the
| world is 1860 feet in West
Texas). s
In Humble No. 2 the first few
thousand feet were comparative
ly easy going. Coral and lime
stone yielded easily. but pro-
Igress slowed down when dolo-
/; mite was encountered. AT 5000
feet anyhdrite was found, an
especially hard substance. As the
drill was sunk it became neces-
sary to shift the casing from Az
inches to 3h. The casing of the
larger diameter weighed 100000
pounds, 10000 tons.
Aug. 80, 1947, it was reported
from Sunniland that the yield in
oil was 1000 barrels daily from
four wells. The Sunnilard field
is 90 miles west of Miami and the
Humble Oil Co, brought in all
four of the wells.
Not Top Grade Oil
The oil was described as nei-
Their Bonanza nor top grade.
Florida oil has an asphalt base
with specific gravity of 20 to Is.
The best petroleums are with a
paraffin base and twice the spe-
cific gravity of the Sunniland
field. The petroleum is shipped
by tank car to the Standard Oil
refinery at Charleston, S, G..
Production to date has shown
little natural gas, and this in few
thousands of cubic feet compared

Sunniland in Collier County,
came in as a flowing well.n This
was drilled by the Humble Oil
and Refining Co, and came in
April at a depth of ll.578 feet--a
little less than two miles deep.
The well produced gas-oil
ratio of rs cubic feet of gas to
one barrel of oil. or approximate
ly $4,000 cubic feet of gas daily.
Output was stated to be 200 bar
rels of oil day.
Three days after May IL, 1916,
il was announced on May IA that
the oil well being on Big Pine
Key above Key West, was down
nearly a mile-5,070 feet. The
engineers said it would be .un-
usual" if oil was found at less
than 10000 feet. Possibility of
salt water seeping into the drill
hole is not likely until the drill
has gone to 10000 or $4,000 feet.
There was trouble with Big
Pine well because the cementing
of the sides was not successful.
1t broke several times and the
hole was blocked with rock.
Mari was circulated continuous
ly through the boring to make a
smooth surface for the bit and to
help prevent water from seeping
through the sides.
Meantime, in June of 1916, it
was announced that the Republic
Oil Co., had abandoned hope of
commercial oil in Barnes
Sound, and that the derricks,
standing in eight feet of water
from Key Largo. were
being dismantled.,
Work on that boring was be-
gun in. September, 1914. To re-
trieve the finch pipe and equip
ment required 6 months.
In the year l945-46 Humble
Oils only producing field at
on the edge of the
'Glades, had yielded over 10000
barrels. Humbie's biggest well !
came in May 1. 1916. Up to that
date Sunniland had produced
1921 barrels from two holes.
The new we'll yielded about 200
barrels daily when the first news
about it was released early in
June, 1916. The three wells were
the only three producing wells
in the State. State Geologist Her
man Gunter reported, but he
said eight other wells were being
drilled. Locations h ad been
selected for three new ones, work
had been suspended on five. and
three had been finished since
April, 1916, without pro-
duction.

A juvenile riot was narrowly
averted yesterday when several
hundred school children, tickets
IN hand. were denied entrance to
the matinee performance Of the
Shrine Circus at the Uline Arena.
More tickets had been sold to
the children in the schools than
there were seats to be occupied.
The children quickly damned
the large lobby of the arena. Some
were unable to hold back tears
over their disappointment.
Julius Gay. circus chairman of
Almas Temple, which annually
puts on the circus for charity,
said that between 800 and 500
children were turned away. Many
were boys of the school safety pa
trolls wearinastheir white belts and
shoulder straps. They had been
given free tickets.
Mr.. Gray said the tickets will
be honored at the Sunday matinee
and evening performances. He
said the schools, where tickets
were sold, were supposed to report
the number four days before the
children were to attend. A num-
Der of schools failed to report. he

Army Officials Visit Seward, Confer With City Officials

General Young, head of the Army Transport Service in Washington, D.C., was in Seward for few hours this morning.
 The General travelled from Whit tier with party of staff members from Fort Richardson. Since the local press had no opportunity of securing an interview with the members of the party, the names and ranks of the officers present could not be learned.
 It was learned that some of the officials of The Alaska Railroad were also present at Seward, al though the only one who talked to the newspaper was Col. l.. A. Moore, assistant to Colonel John P. Johnson, manager of the rail- road. The subject of the visit was not discussed
 It is reported that a party, of Sewardites accompanied the Army officials on the Anchorage train, and that they are expected to re- turn to Seward some time today.
 While the purpose of the visit was not known at press time, it is gen erally assumed about Seward that it involved the status of the Sew ard Portage section of The Alaska Railroad.

mcRae Agent For Union At Builders Meet

A. c. McRae travelled to Anchor age by plane Monday morning to represent local unions at a meeting of the Alaska Contractors Associ- ation.
 At this meeting a master con- tract will be drawn up to cover all labor unions working with mem- Der contractors of the Alaska as- sociation. According to McRae, the contract will cover all unions equally, except for wage scale. In this manner power equipment op- orators would have a contract with the same general conditions as car penters, aside from the difference in the hourly wage.
 McRae also said that the safety program will be worked out so that one man in 20 on any job will have first aid training. In case of acci- dental death the cost of shipping the body to the point of hire, or an equal distance, will be borne by the contractor.
 While the General Contractors Association of America has been in existence for a number of years, it was said that the Alaska chapter l.. ly been formed.
