1. LS: You will have before you the well being drilled on the land of Madison Byron Wyrick in Bosque County, Texas. It was given in a former reading that production would be reached at 4242. You will please tell us why this was not accomplished when that depth was reached. You will also tell us at what depth they are drilling at the present time and at what depth they will find production, giving the formation in which they are now drilling and the changes they will find to production. Is there anything wrong with any individual concerned with the operations or organization? Will there be a necessity of setting another string of casing, getting new sand line, drill line or a belt, and any other information necessary to make a success of these operations.
2. EC: Yes, we have the operations here. These we have had before. There is not much change in conditions regarding operations at present from that when we had it here before. There are a great many changes since we had this at first, for as we see there have been changes in the formation by slides produced under the earth's surface, so that we find when the depth of 4242 was reached we changed in the manner of formation entirely, and there was at that depth (or foot and a half below) a drop of six inches and the formation then encountered carried some water, with some gas and a show of oil with the formation as is found on top of oil that has been trapped for a great length of time. Through this depth, that is, through this formation, or the slide, we will find the depth will be here one twenty-three, and when this has been drilled through we will find the greater change, again coming to a white or whitish gray porus lime, gradually changing into the hard black lime, and when the depth of 4568 is reached we will again encounter the production. This we see will not require any new setting of casing until necessary to get or to bring the production in.
3. In the formation then we will find the great changing, gradually to the black and the depth as given. Not necessary for new sand line or belt, as each may be spliced

and will be of sufficient to finish or complete operations. We do not find troublesome factors among the operators. We find much discouragement among many, yet the changes as given show the how the condition has changed.
4. In the conditions about operations, necessary some attention be paid to the walking beam, as it wiggles on the center. Also the headache post needs bracing, else there is chance for the trouble to some operators. Only necessary that they continue in the way as has been given. We find the amount necessary for completion will be on the average of $10 to $12 per foot, of the drilling. Drilling at present at 4433. So follow those conditions as given. As to time that will be required to reach this, depending upon fuel, weather conditions, and the conditions regarding operations among the operators.
5. Do that. We will find the production as given.
6. We are through for the present.
