3d S. S. first 4 feet very liard, next 8 feet ver}' soft ; then 9 feet a little 

 firmer but not hard ; tlu'n 10 feet softer ; the remaining IG feet being about 

 an average sand. The first show of oil was at 21 feet below the top of the 

 sand. Ver}' little salt water and gas came into the hole while drilling, and 

 when the well was tubed there was not more than 20 feet of fluid in it. 



Natural i)roduction less than j of a barrel of oil with about 5 barrels of 

 salt water per day. 



The first torpedo exploded 18 feet below top of sand increased the salt 

 water slightly but not the oil and gas. 



May 8th. Second torpedo (3 pint shell) 6 feet below top of sand. No 

 improvement. 



May 11th. Employed the scratcher. No improvement. 



May 12th. Torpedoed 30 feet below top of sand. No increase either in 

 oil or gas.
