holdings of the Healdton Oil &
Gas Company will after drilling
the remaining locations in the
acreage purchased drill : for a
dedner producing sand This
acreage lies principally in sec-
tion SI adjoining the big sec-
tion 6 immediately on the north
In section 6 the producing sand
in some wells has a thickness of
350 feet and oil" men believe
that a deeper sand In section 31
may have a similar thickness J
Acreage that ten days kgo was
selling fpr $2 to $5 has advanced
to $10 to $50 Since the drilling of
the new lftagnolid well in section
-23 which lied in a southeasterly
i direction from the" proven field
- The producing oil sand in 23 is it
a different depth from that en-
countered ' in the field' proper
