I.KHJU.V To arrive at an Intellgcnt decision In roferenco to tho drilling of a test well, wveral factors must bo taken Into account, (a) Kwlmatcd depth to which woll may bo drlllod. (b) Char acter of formations likely to bo en countered, (c) Possibility of en countering oitremo gas pressure, (d) Holatlvo Importance of log of well. The two systems of drilling In uso In tho I'nltcd 8tate aro termed "Standard" and "Itotary." Thero Is also uicd sometimes n combination of thesu two. Tho Standard Itlg System is that which has been In uso from the first day of tho oil Industry. It consists of tho holo being drilled by a succos Ion of porcusslon blows by the alter nato rlnlng and falling of a "string of tools." A string of tools consists of a rope socket to which the cable Is attached, a set of .drilling Jars, an nugcr stom, nnd a drilling bit. Tho average weight ot a "drilling string" Is from twcnty-flvo hundred to thlr-ty-flvo hundred pounds. The process of drilling consists ot 'spudding In" to a depth of usually about ono hun dred and titty feet, at which depth the normal manner ot drilling com mences. "Spudding In" means drill ing by raising the drilling string by countered at a shallow depth. Their means ot a Jerk line, ono end or the.! use generally Is very satisfactory to Jerk line being attachod to the cable j depths not exceeding one thousand In such a manner that tho tools aro i feet. Their great disadvantage, how raised and dropped by the direct ac- over, consists In their not being tlon of tho engine. equipped for tho proper handling of From a depth ot ono hundred and fifty feet on, tho motion of a walk- Ing beam Is used. The cuttings, or do- brls, of tho hole Is removed by means j of a bailer by which the hole Is I cleaned out cvory six or ten feet. Probably forty percent of tho debris Is removed In this manner, the malnder being plastered against tho sides of the hole. Water Is regularly dumped Into the hole for every six or ten feet of drilling. The Rotary System consists of tho rotating ot a bit, commonly called a fish tall bit from Its shapo, at tho end of a drill stem consisting of eith er four or six Inch hoavy pipe. At the top of tho pipe Is a swivel to which Is attached rubber hose from a large pump. During the course of drilling, wator Is pumped Into the drilling stem. It escapes through two one Inch holes on either sldo of the fish tafl bit, n hydraulic pressure of aproxl matcly 350 pounds to the squaro Inch bolng maintained wltbln tho pipe. Tho water goes down through the drill stom and out tho sides of the, bit. During the rotation tho water forces tho drilling debris. In tho form of muddy water, up on tho out sfdo of tho plpo. Each system has Its advantages. The Standard System Is that used In drilling practically all "Wildcat" wells. (It might bo explained nt this point that tho term "Wildcat" as In uso In tho oil country moans that tho woll Is being drilled away from a proven oil field.) For this purpose It has manifest advantages, first nnd foremost of which Is that any show ing of oil can bo Immediately detect ed. It IU bo readily seen that with n columu of water of a height total ing tho depth of tho well, small traces ot oil, when encountered, would bo forced back into tho sides of tho holo Instead of coming to tho surface. Anothor advantago of tho Standard Rig system over tho Rotary system Is that somotlmea great dlffl culty Is encountored with the Rot ary In tho drilling ott very hard wvic. The advantage of the Rot ary consist of a somowhat greater j spood In drilling, ureaier drilling unconsolidated sands. More control over heavy gas presaure. This control Is achlevod by tno uso ot wm II; KLAMATH'S CHANCES I - III.II.I r'VvnvwvvwijmjJ whirl, im. i. .i. ........ ,.. er heavily laden with mud which can bo plastorcd Into tho intricacies of tho sand to temporarily hold back tho flow of ga. In tho uso of cither systeiA casing is usod. Tho two use of casing arc, to shut off water and remedy what Is known as a "caving" hot. Some for mations aro of such character that when saturated by tho water that Is dumped Into tho holo for drilling pur poses, It Immediately disintegrates and falls Into tho hole. Tho ordinary manner of using casing Is that when tho holo has been drlllod lo a certain depth tho casing Us sot Into It. InBtao tho casing a smal ler holo Is drilled Into which is set tho noxt sot of casing. This process Is repeated whatover numbor of times becomes necessary. Sometimes It happens that at a point slightly be neath whero a string of casing has been set a water sand Is encountered, or tho holo caves In. In this case a string of casing Is lifted fifteen or twenty foot and held In suspension. A tool known as an underreamer Is low ered through tho cosing and expand ed when through. It drills a hole largo enough for tho casing to follow. This is known as undcrreamlng. Portable machines aro used where- ever tbo oil I expected to bo e fl 'casing or for underrcamlng. Thcso(tiany. poriaoie mncnines sometimes employ tho Standard system and sometimes the Rotary, but generally tho former. The oil fields of Pennsylvania, West I Virginia, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wyo I'mlng have been drilled by the Stand rc-jard system exclusively. Tbo notary method canto In uso about twenty years ago becauso ot the great difficulty In drilling thru tho formations encountered In south Texas with the Standard system. Their uso has gradually spread until most of the wells In tho field's of south Texas, Louisiana and California are drilled by this method. In some fields tbo wells aro drilled to the tep of the oil sand by tho Rotary and tho Standard system used to complete tho well. The manufacture ot oil well drill ing machlnory Is almost exclusively American, tho product of tho vari ous manufacturers being shipped to all parts ot tho world, togethor with American Drillers to uso it. Many "Wildcat" wells are drilled without the keeping of a proper log which Is of prime Importance. This log should bo an nccurato record ot the exact depths at which each new formation Is encountered, together with a sample of tho formation lt eolt. Tho matter of tho rropor keeping of logs of wells Is regulated by legis lation in some states, California lead ing tho way by most Intelligent laws on tho subject. Ariy oil company dril ling In that stato must report to tho OH and Gas Supervisor nnd keop an accurato record of tho history of each holo, open to Inspection of tho Super visor and his Deputies. The Califor nia law also provides that within proven flolds no casing that shuts off water may bo set oxcopt undotji the supervision of tho Supervisor or his Deputies. Many oil fields have been ruined Irreparably by tho flooding of tho oil sands with wator from wolls Improperly cased. The most prominent oxamplo of tho damage done In this manner has occurred nt Spindle Top. The Spindle Top Field, which covered only 320 acres, was tho most prolific oil Hold over dis covered in this country.

VMVMVWWWMWAAMAAAAAMAAAAAAAMMMMA enty five thousand barrels a day when brought In. Within five years the oil sand had, been flooded by water nnd the production reduced to less than one tenth ot Its former size. Tho well of the Crater Oil and Gas Company which spuds In tomorrow, ono mile north ot Merrill, will uso the Standard system of drilling. The only difference In their equipment from that ordinarily used Is that tho drilling string 1 heavier than that UBCd any othor place on the Pacific Coast, It weighing 5500 pounds. The steel cable 1 1 inch in diameter In stead of 7-8 Inch which Is tho size generally used. Tho tools of the Northern Califor nia Oil company whoso well, six miles southwest ot Merrill, will start drill ing early next month, will be ot tbo In Monday's artlclo will bo dis- stead of a single engine being used to furnish power, twin engines will be used. Tho principal reason for tho ubo of such hoavy tools nnd machinery Is that water, elthor fresh or salt, will be encountered at many places whero it will not be practicable to set .cas ing. Drilling with a holo continually full ot water tbo drilling blow, is cushioned and loses from thirty to fifty percent of its weight. To make up this deficiency extra heavy tools will be used. , in Monday's article will be dis cussed the various types of petroleum and the reasons for Its being differ ent in various fields and tho kinds to bo expected in the Klamath Basin. Today s News Today T. ATCRITERILLI A general good time is in store for all who attend the celebration at tho Crater Oil company's well, half a mllo north ot 'Merrill, tomor row. The entertainment program Is in charge of Guy Merrill, and starts with the big barbecue, and dinner at 1 o'clock. A baby beet and two sheep are to form the cen tral part ot the repast, and ther. will bo trimmings, Including plenty ot lemonade furnished by the com pany. Speeches by Mayor W. B. Wiley, R. C. Groesbeck and others will fol low and an athletic program Will entertain tbo throng. This part ot the program will contain many but. prise events. At 3 o'clock tho drill starts, to bo kept going until It s determined whether tho Judgment ot tho pro moters ot tho enterprise, on the soundness ot which they havo stak ed thousands of dollars, Is 'to be confirmed by tho discovery of oil. This will bo a momentous occasion In tho history ot Klamath and the. directors and shareholders ot the company want all Klamath county present .to participate la the thrill ing moment. While It Is designed to make tha day an entertaining holiday, the la-, structlve features will not be over looked and W. C. Lehman and the corps ot drillers, men who have had years of experience In oil explora tion and discovery, will explain te all Interested visitors the uses ot the various machinery and the geological facts connected with the petroleum Industry. It Is planned to make the oc casion a red letter day, as Its Im portance to tho future development ot Klamath deserves, and nothing will be spared In tbo way of In terest, Instruction and entertain ment. IS LAKEVIEW, June 25. The local wool market opened with a rush last week when W. A. Massing!!! bought Con Taylor's clip for 16c. Previously tho best offer was 15 c, and buyers seemed to be more or less reluctant to pay that figure. However, as soon as It became known that Mr. Masslngill was able to pay 16c other buyers met the figure and a large number ot grow ers sold at that price. In three days about threo-fourths ot the wool' tributary to Lakevlew had bees' sold. Bids will be received today by the Klamath Livestock Loan and Mortgage company for approximate ly 300,000 pounds of wool, which Is In the warehouse here. It prices hold to the level set In tha Lakevlew sales and local auction would place some 148,000 In the hands ot the wool growers Immed ii.tcly. RELIEVE SAFE CRACKERH ARE IN HIDING PLACE.
