Up a narrow mountain trail tliat leads to the front lines in Italy goes a column of U. 8. troops

slowed the allied drive on Rome, for the machines of war cannot navigate this mountainous terrain.

Cave-In Delays
Bailing Work At
Piedmont Well
Considerable Oil
Recovered During
Early Operations
Hard luck again has overtaken
j Ace Gutowskv's wildcat well north-
i east of Piedmont, with the hole
caving and crews forced to go in
witli drilling tools to clean out.
Yesterday while bailing, the
crews recovered considerable live
green oil from the hole.
Tlie test is in SE 8E SW of 23-
14N-5W. known as the No. 1 Wat-
son.
No estimates of the possible pro-
duction could be made while the
crews were balling Wednesday,
since operators have not completed
erection of storage tanks on the
lease. Tills work should be com-
pleted by tlie end of the week.
Small Producer Indicated
Scouts who checked the well early
Wednesday estimated the well would
make a small producer. Produc-
tion is from the Oswego limestone
horizon, the same formation which
produces natural gas in tlie Ed-
mond. Britton and Oklahoma City
fields.
The Watson well was drilled to 7,-
400 feet to find salt water in the
Hiinton lime, which is productive
in the West Edmond field. The
hole then was plugged back to tlie
Oswego zone, but after a series of
mishaps the casing collapsed and
had to be swedged out—a three!
weeks' Job.
Depth Is 6.810 Feet
Present total depth is 6.810 feet I
and the hole was not in the best I
of condition, retarding the inflow [
of oil into the hole. Outowsky had
! said earlier this week that if the
J well did not kick off and flow
! naturally, the formation would be
shot with nitroglycerine bombs.
