acres of land in a strip about seven
miles long and from a quarter of a
mile to two miles wide.
It is hoped to strike oil at a depth
of about 2,300 feet. In order to "have
all the hole they need," as Mr. Chap

casing twenty inches in diameter.
This will become smalled as the well
goes down and the casing is installed.

operations and as the work progresses
more and more people will visit Ne

ago when a former test hole was
sunk there.
