The firm has seven wells now on their propert that are producing some of the high- est grade oil found in the state and also a gas which carries a larg: amount of gasoline in suspension. The Elk Basin is expecting to make use of the casing-head gas in the near future and thereby add considerably to its income and the wells in that field may soon be put on gas pumps which will also increase the gas and oil production considerably. The field is producing its oil fron! 1700 to 2200 feet and resembles the Berea sand oil fields of the east in this respect.
