Invisible Halfsole
The Western World at Bandon last
week published a first page story
entitled, “New Oil Drilling Project
to Start After Jan. 1, Prepared for
Definite Test,” and goes on to say:
What promises to become the moot
comprehensive oil drilling project yet
undertaken in this part of Oregon
will begin shortly after the first of
the year, when operations under the
direction of John A. (Jack) Kelly will
start on land in section 15, owned by
John Nielson of Bandon, in the Bill’s
Butte locahity abobut three miles (air
line) southeast of Bandon, and about
five miles by road.

composed of four 250-h. p. butane gas
motors. The hole will be 14 inches in
diameter at the start and will reach
the oil sand at 1214 inches in diame
ter The operation, with the initial
equipment, will be prepared to go to
a depth of 7500 feet, according to
Kelly.
Drilling will be continuous through
out 24 hours of the day. Under or
dinary conditions, it is estimated that
a depth of 4500 feet will be reached,
if necessary, in 20 days.
Kelly is by no means a novice at
the business. For ten years prior to
1931 Kelly was under contract as a
driller in Burma and India. The Bur
ma road, the lifeline of Ciyna in the
struggle with the Japanese which is
so much in the news today, was
traveled by Kelly when elephants and
oxen were the only means of trans
