Drilling Operations Suspended at Bugg
Test Tuesday
Drilling operation were suspended at
the Bugg test, nine miles southwest of
town, Tuesday afternoon. The shut
down will he for a period of about
two weeks, Contractor Leibee stated,
Wednesday. A shortage of fuel is
one of the reasons for the suspension.
The liole is reported eased and in jioo'l
eoiulition, but its depth has u«t reeent
IV been announced.
Marwell Test to Go to Bartlesville
Sand It is Stated
A renort from the Marwell test \iiorth-
•nst of town on the Britton farm (-2
20 5) indicates that a thorough test
will be made by that company. The
hole will be put down to the Bartks
x ille sand, it is announced. This sand
should be found close to 3,800.
A gas showing was reported in this
r#st last week and tlie formation en
eountered is considered very encourag-
ing. If completed to the Bartlesville,
it will be the deepest tost in this s« <
tion.
Plan to Deepen Duffy Test Has Been
Abandoned by Contractor Leibee
The idea of purchasing the easing,
and equipment and deepening the lMu
fy oil test, six miles northwest of town,
has been abandoned by Contractor .1
1). Leibee. owing to the number of
leases iu the hands of speculators. It
he is awarded the casing on his bid, lie
plans to pull the pipe and plug the hole
and abandon. Many hoped that this
test would be deepened, but the sight of
a few dollars in eash probably tempted
some beyond their strength of resi-t
anee and tliev traded the future for tie
present.
The Roxana Oil Co., on the Stout
farm, nine miles north of Marshall, is
reported still drilling at 1600 feet.
Rapid progress is being made in this
test . Vine hundred feet of hob- w; s
,inade in the first nine days. The Ron
ana interests are leading the way out
of the Garber field ro the southwest,
and there are many indications that
they are following the trend correctly.
