     Headline:  Fourth Well on Davis Farm Shows Good Prospects for Oil

     An oil well on the William L. Davis farm in section 17 was completed
     last week and the owners, Reeter and Hirstein prepared to abandon the
     well and plug it as now showing of oil was found.  The well was drilled
     by Mkie Callahan.

     However, before the plugging operations began, after a lay-off of a
     couple of days, the well was bailed and a good showing of oil was
     found.

     An attempt was made to acidize the well but it did not bring the
     results necessary to do a thorough job.  Work on the well weill
     continue, and it is believed the well may turn out to be a producer.

     This well, is located south of the Carpenter well, and if it does
     produce oil, will be the seventh with commercial production drilled in
     the county in the past two months.
