Bottom dry. Abandoned.
Strong showings of gas are reported from depths ranging from
255 to 696 feet in a 2,171-foot well drilled by the Producers Oil Co.
on the R. F. Arnold farm 31 miles south of Newcastle in Young
County. The gas showings here and in the Murry well, about 8 miles
distant, are said by some to have been decidedly the best so far found
in Young County.
Several wells in Archer County have yielded small quantities of
gas. At one well the gas is reported to have caught fire and burned
with a flame many feet high, but these reports were not confirmed.
