1. GC: Now you have before you the well that is being drilled on the land of Madison Byron Wyrick, in Bosque County, Texas, and the conditions regarding the operation. You will tell us what is necessary to make a success of these operations, giving the formation in which they are now drilling, and what they will encounter in formation to production. Please give all of this full and complete.
2. EC: Yes, we have the operations and the well. We have had these here before. First, we find it will only be necessary to continue the operations they encounter the production as will be found as given. We must, for the success of the operations, keep full-hearted co-operation of all those interested in the operation and without dissension as to how operations should be continued.
3. Formation as encountered at present time shows the presence of shale, gray and brown and a lime with water, sands. These need not be of a detrimental character, for we find that the formation in the last 40 feet have changed very rapidly. This, as we see, in different as would be encountered from drilling in the present location and that as was given. However, we will find that with perseverance and care with tools, the operation in this location can be carried to success. Drilling with a tight line, short stroke, will prevent a great deal of the troubles now encountered by caving. The formations that will be encountered will be soon the change to a darker sand and lime with a gradual change again to dark gray cuttings, which will come to the very hard formation again. And then darker and brown, changing again to the black, and then encountering the formation in which oil would be found. Will not be necessary if bailing is kept close and not too much water to carry in the hole for other casings until the production has come in.
4. This we find if followed in this manner would insure success and production. Be careful of the nipple or thimble on drill. Be careful of knot on baling bucket. Also of the

chain drive on the sand line wheel; that there is not accidents to operators from this. Follow close in the instructions given. Do not be weary in troubles from water at present and of the caving in the shale. Slow yet sure if kept in the right way. We are through for the present.
