down of several days.

Six hundred feet of ten-inch casing
has been set. this being necessary

inch casing will be carried down to
the first Woodbine sand, which, due

which was struck at a depth of
nine feet, the bit passing out at 350,
will be penetrated at approximately
880 feet, 100 feet lower than at first
estimated.
Deals involving three blocks of

pects that four wells will be under
way by April 15th.
