1. GC: Now you have before you the well that is being drilled on the land of Madison Byron Wyrick in Bosque County, Texas. You will please tell us the conditions surrounding these operations at the present time, the depth to which they have drilled, the formations now being encountered and how they may now proceed to make this an oil producing well. You will also answer any questions I may ask you regarding these operations.
2. EC: Now, we find the operations at the present time just overcoming some difficulties which have been experienced in the last few days, and the depth to which they have drilled is now forty-nine hundred and seventy-four (4974) feet. The formation still remains in that of the black lime, and in the lower portions of the stratum here we find they are within the producing area, and that at any time they will encounter the condition which will make this an oil producing well, for the production is now on two sides of the hole already drilled. They will encounter this in the next few days, and we find there is only the necessity of drilling on into that strata that allows the pressure to break through into the hole as made. This may be encountered at any time. There are many places in present hole where this could be made producing well. Best that same be drilled into the production as being drilled. The conditions surrounding operations, the personnel, and the condition of the operators are still optimistic and really in better conditions at present than they have been for some time. Keep on keeping on.
3. (Q) How many more feet will they have to go or drill before reaching a strata that would produce the well? (A) In the present stratum we may find the producing well. In the depth that the operations have now reached we may find at any time a producing well, for as given, production is on two sides at present. The depth may be greater or lesser, depending upon the operations and the shifting of pressure as loosened by the operations. Of necessity operations are slow at the depth now being encountered.
4. (Q) Should they continue to drill deeper?

(A) As given. They should.
5. (Q) Are there any other suggestions regarding these operations? (A) No other suggestions. We find success will come to these, will they but keep the hole open and drilling in same.
6. We are through for the present.
