Chandler News:
ended further development in
the Elliott test southeast
town. This well came in a gas-
ser several months ago, but
those in charge believed oil
could be found by drilling deep
er. This was attempted at
great cost and much trouble on
accounf of the hindrance of gas
and water. This week it was
finally decided no hope of get
ting oil and allow the well to
remain a gasser. This does not
put an end to further develop
ment in that locality as we are
informed that other test wells
will be put down in the near fu
ture. The strong flow of gas in
the Elliott well indicates that
oil may be found in that vicin
ity.”
