J 4d m HP : MILLION iter b Drill Pipe Froze at 2300 Feet. But Finally Released and Work Resumed. Work of drilling on the San Rafael oil well, the most extensive "wildcat" oil drilling project ever undertaken in the state of Utah, was temporarily last delayed week by the freezing of the drill pipe which, froze at a' depth of 2300 feet. Fishing for the pipe was successful and work of drilling resumed this week. In two months the well has been drilled to a depth of 2300 feet, notwithstanding delays caused by water shortage and loss of circulation. iThe location, is the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section 22, township 23 south, range 11 east. This is about 50 miles south, of Castle Dale and miles north of three and one-ha- lf the well drilled in 1921 by the Carter Oil company and Midwest Refining company. This well was abandoned at 3035 feet, a heavy flow of water developing at 2740 feet. Eight water wells have been drilled a few miles west of the camp, but only one is producing. This well, the second one drilled, is 217 feet deep and pumping 600 barrels a day. Another well which was abandoned at 430 feet is to be drilled deeper. About 20 men are employed at the camp, including truck drivers and others not on the rig. Drilling is continuous except during the men working shutdowns, three shifts or "towers" of eight hours each. A landing field has been cleared near the camp and officials of the California company and Loffland Brothers company have made several trips to the camp by airplane. Fay Merry is the California company's representative on the grounds and Doris Ballew is Loff-la-brothers' drilling superinrd tendent. RESUME OF FEDERAL BENEFITS facilities p.
