The test is being: drilled jointly by the Carter Oil company, a subsidiary jof the Standard of New Jersey, the | Westerin Exploration company and | the consolidated Royalty Ofl company. | The Billie Creek structure {s approx- imately one-third the size of the Salt Creek field and generaJly similar to the great producing ‘area. It com- | prises about 5,200 acres of land which are well cituated within the structure. | All of this land ts held by the three | developing organizations. It {s expected that the firat horizon which should hold producing possibil lities will be entered at a depth of 2,- ‘200 feet. Taking no chance on failure to make a complete jest of the district however the interested o: tions are prepared to drill to a depth of 4,- }200 feet if it is found necessary to ion producing formations. ;A huge rig, equipped for winter op- lerations has begn erected at the scene of the test and with water and oil lines buried it will be an easy matter to continue the test throughout the winter under any form of Ipevere weather. Due to the winter operations the test should be concluded during the coming summer and if successful should be a great stimulant to the oll industry of the state. PIONEER MINER DEAD.
