The ship's pre-landing maneuvers were nothing unusual, he added.

The announcement sets forth the fact that oll and water were encoun- tered in Well No. 3, the second well near Marmarth, at 6,700 feet. Efforts were made to shut off the water so the well would produce oil alone but these failed and the company has not con- cluded that the oil and water occur naturally together as frequently is the case in the limestone formations common to the Rocky mountain region. For the last month fluid has been pumped from the well at the rate of 350 barrels a day and half of this quantity is oil, making the oil pro- duction 175 barrels. Visualize Producer If oil production continues at thi ratio the hole will be clearly a com: mercial producer, but pumping wil be continued for several months ta see if the oll holds out. Further de- velopments in the field will await the result of this pumping test. The discovery well was drilled to a depth of 8,300 feet and produced a small quantity of oil at that horizon, but it may be plugged back to the 6,700 foot level and oil produced from ° there, Whether this will be done will depend largely on the pumping test on well No. 3.
