from fields to the south of Chick-
flshu arrived at the well and re-
mained on the job until lato yester-

on to Chickasha with the Idea of
getting a1 night's rest in preparation
for the watch party of today and to-
night and in fact until t'.ie verdict
is returned. '
A delay was occasioned yesterday
evening when the workmen at the
rig were unable to loosen a six Inch

time. Some of the 32nd degree fans
were preparing to spend tonight at
the well If this seemed to be necesfl
sary. Thoughtful ones were providing
themselves with lunch and a blanket
or two preparatory to pitching camp
at the location tonight.
As a result - of the excitement

quoted at $200 to $250 an acre. Some

Confidence in the reports that the
bit has picked up a good oil sand is
generally expressed by the; outside
oil men but without exception they
point to the fact that in the well's

is that -the drillers have yet to make
a well out of the formation at the
