 into the hole. The sand was quite soft until the rock had been penetrated 

 30 feet, after this it was very hard until quite near the bottom, where it 

 was found to be soft and coarse. 



Natural production about 5 barrels of oil with 10 barrels of water during 

 the first twenty-four hours. Three days later it was pumping 6 barrels of 

 oil.

 Good sand all the way down to 30 feet. Oil came in while drilling, but
