forts to get oil and aeema to drive out
the gas when that commodity la found,
even In quantltlea. H la for thla pur
pose that the casing I driven Into the
well, the effort being to hut out the
anil kMn It from flowing Into
the well and destroying the oil and
gas conditions. -
Thla casing has not been crowded
down ao closely the past twe days as
It waa prior to that time for the re
son that the formation through which
the drill was passing seemed to be
firmer and of a character that would
stand up for a day or two without the
support given by the caalng. But
ahortly after the drill etruclt the oll
bearlng sand vein thla morning there
was a cave-in of sand and dirt, filling
the full distance of the well not pro
tected by the casing and making U
necessary to clean out the well before
further drilling can be done.
The strata of sand struck thl morn
ing was of a greater depth than any
before found In the well, and the oil
prospect were more marked and the
percentage of oil greater, o that there
wa rejoicing over tne prospects wuu
the water was forced In and did Ita
work of looeenlng and caused the
cave-In that' made the delay In drilling.
The drill haa reached a -aepin oi
1100 feet; the water was shut on ai a
depth of 1033 but broke loose again
shortly after the 1100 depth wa
....k.H Th earth caved In for a
distance of 30 feet, and now the caalng
must be driven down tne tun uepiu w
the drilling and then the well be
cleaned out.
A new wire cable waa attached to
the drill today and the manilla rope
discarded bo that the drilling can be
continued to a depth of from 2200 to
2500 feet.
In the face of all the difficulties
that have visited the well and the
driller who are working In It the
drill still continues to go down from
day to day. When everything goe
