A _ 100 barrel well was brought in during the past week on the Elk Basin Petroleum Company’s property, in the 1,600 foot sand. The new well is to be connected to the pipe line as soon as possible. The bringing in of this well was not un- expected, it is situated in what is egarded us proven territory. RUMORS The same fine flock of rumors still abound. It was reported today that a good well had been brought in on the Elk- horn property Upon investigation, we have just learned that there is no truth to the rumor. Also reported that a dry well had beeh brought in by the Midwest Re- fining Company in the Big Muddy Field. We e just learned from au- thentic sources that there is nothing to that rumor Reports also are that the famous Hjorth well, to the west of Salt Creek, a production of 1,000 barrels a large quantities is flowing over t top of the casing. From the be formation that we can get, most of the reports seem to be exaggerated; is understood that they have encountered consider- able oil, but the extent of the produc- probably proper, howing from 200 to 500 to day and that oil tive possibilities is as yet undetermined.
