Show AVERAGE 15 FT, DAILY AT MID AMERICAN An average of a trifle over 15 feet daily is being made by A. P. Mitchell, contractor at the Mid-American. At the close of Wednesday's shift the well was down 1517 feet. Mitchell has drilled 167 feet in the 11 days he has been on the job. - The formation is lime and sandstone sand-stone with occasional ledges of sand. Wjhen the drill hits this sand a good showing of oil is encountered, together with some gas. Mitchell received word yesterday that the Mid-American company had ordered a 3500-foot cable from California. Cali-fornia. The contract calls for a depth of 3500 feet if oil is not found above that point. Miller, Mitchell's partner part-ner in the contract, will be here shortly to aid in the work. |
