Tho low prlco of crudo and tlio
prospoct of Its going lower has
not chocked tho Hearth for an oil

to glvo tho territory a thorough test.
They should bo drilling by tho Inst
of next week.
Rush Territory Active
Continued activity Is evidenced
around Rush Springs whore throe
wells are drilling with a fourth ready
to spfld In tho' next few days. Tho
Gladys Hollo Hill farm In section 9-4n-7w
is drilling and It is reportod
that they are around the 3000 foot
'.nark. Several showings have boon
reported but none have as ye
proved sufficient to make a well.
South of Rush Springs In soctlon
9-3n-7w. the Stover tost Is drilling
lit about 17.'0 foot with a rotary.
fhey reported a nice showing of oil
tit around 1500 foot but passed It
up for a deeper test.
Tho O'Quinn test In section ll-2n-fiw
Is a rig and they are moving In
rotary tools. There is every indieff
tlon that they will bo drilling within
a week.
Tho Forester test on tho Slayton
farm1 Is down around 2300 feet and

Quadrangla Gets Ready
Northeast of Chickasha about eight
miles the Quadrangle test on the
Williams farm in section 10-7n-6w Is
scheduled to spud between June 20
and July 1.
This well -will be drilled by Bad-
gett Brothers tho contractors who
drilled the Harness well eloven
milos south of Oaickasha In section
15-5n-7w and brought in a small
producer. The Quadrangle derrick
has boon comploto for several weeks
and the contractors are now moving
in a string of rotary tools. The
same outfit that -was used on the
Harness well will drill the Quad-
rangle test. The Badget interests will
move another rotary into Grady
county from the Walters field in tho
event they do further work' in the
Harness well district
Harness Well Flowing
The Harness well is still flowing
keeping up the gait it set soma ton
days ago when the packer and tub-
ing was set It flows regularly every
So .minutes and is putting about 30
to 35 barrels of fluid into tankago
every 24 hours About 50 percent of
t'his is water according to F. L. BSd-
gett of the ' contracting ' firm.
It is the general opinion of oil men
as well as the contractors that the
casing in the Harness well was set
too low and that probably six to
eight feet of the richest part of the
sand was cased off. Properly hand-
led it is believed the well would
have made 300 to 500 barrels. It is
possible that the well will be shot
a little later.
In addition to these operations a
vtudcat east of Chickasha in section
31-6n;Jw is scheduled to spud some

especially on tho south sldo and the
quality is pronounced excellent.
Replying to an inquiry Capt. Hen-
derson said: "No I didn't use any
smudge or do anything else to keep
the buds from freezing-. The tree is

Immediately east of us but it is ex-
posed on tho north. We have had
all tho peaches we wanted for some
time. Our grape vines will also hear
abundantly this season.
On Monday W. W. Yale who lives
on the hill on Eighteenth and Texas
was exhibiting some large Albertas
which he picked from a tree on the
north side of his house. They wera
of excellent quality and there were
quite a number on the tree. Other
neighbors in that vicinity report
some peaches on every tree.

today In a court In lloboken.'
The munitions were seized 'last

which was about to sail for Belfast.
Tho arms have been taken to tho
lloboken piil lie headquarters where
tho Investigation Is being mailo.
According to reports reaching gov-

covery of the nrms. It Is reported
that a member of ono of tho crow

r.era tors until Informed of tho dis-
covery by fodoral investigators. Tho
Fast Sldo cleared for Norfolk where
according to Chief of Police Hays
of lloboken she was to take a cargo
