1. GC: You will give us the conditions of operations at the present time, with any suggestions for the operators to assist in bringing in this well. You will answer any questions relative to this that I will ask you.
2. EC: Very near to drilling in production now. They are near to the break that will come in lime and sand, which may break through to the production, they have been drilling past and in for some time. You see they are encountering at present time in the drilling those same formations as we first entered into when we entered that of the bed formation. These we find are showing of the true Pennsylvania stratum. When we strike this that will come with this, not salt, more chalk, then we may expect this production to break through this formation. Keep on drilling. We find about the operations all are very enthusiastic regarding the new changes that are being found at the present time, and some of these are new to some of the operators. There is some discussion as to about the character of this formation.
3. (Q) What is the character of this formation? (A) Changing to this white. We have just given.
4. (Q) How far will they have to drill in this formation? (A) Depends upon the shift of the gases in that storehouse. As we see, we find some gases in the wetter formations higher above. This is exceedingly dry and porous. 4996.
5. (Q) Is that the depth they have drilled? (A) 4996 - this we should get production here.
6. (Q) Are there any conditions about which the operators should be warned? (A) Only those where we find the cavings give trouble at times, these needs be expected for keeping so much hole open as is necessary in this, for we may find with the pressure breaking in may bring in in many places through which they have already passed. In this case we would have a very large well, on increase, but necessary to clean thoroughly. Be careful of getting tools hung with these caves caving above, you see, where they are drilling. Short stroke, not

too rapid.
7. (Q) About what time can production be expected? (A) Most any time. More apt to be in the early morning hours when the tide comes in, you see, or when the tide changes from one to two afternoon or evening.
8. (Q) Any other suggestions for the success of these operations? (A) No. These will be successful here. Just keep that which they are doing, keeping everything in shape, overcoming those obstacles that we have. Though slow it's sure, for we have the wherewith to carry out the operations. Only needs the patience and the persistence as necessary. This will be successful - 1500 to 1.
9. (Q) Are there any specific directions as to how to prevent the tools from being hung by these cave-ins? (A) Given. Short strokes, not too fast.
10. We are through for the present.
