statement in regard to his work vork in the field altogether my experiments and tests show that oil is found in all the wells except two at depths from four hundred to seven bundled feet below the surface the wells cover a distance of about three miles from north to south and one and ore half miles from east cast to west nest the oil is of uniform character and in all wells rices n ses to the same level approximately three hundred and sixty feet below the surface by continued pumping the production increases the formation in the oil is found is sand and shale mixed varying in thickness from a few feet to forty five feet by shooting with nitro glycerin the flow is apparently increased although we have not yet experimented sufficiently to determine the size shot which is most effective according to the very latest anfor mation received from that country there is considerable activity all along the line the hunt people now have four rigs and are sinking as many wells this
