3. (Q) How much more lime will they encounter before breaking through, and the color of same? (A) The color will gradually change to near white, and there will in the present stratum be twenty-eight (28) feet.
4. (Q) Will they have to drill twenty-eight more feet before reaching production? (A) Twenty-eight more feet before reaching the production area again.
5. (Q) Are they drilling straight through this lime or on an oblique? (A) Near an angle of twenty-six (26).
6. (Q) Is the pay sand right under this lime? If not, what is the formation? (A) (Interrupting) IN this lime, for as we have given, they will make the successful termination of these operations, for there is production on three; yea four sides and bottom of the operations to the present time, and in any of these formations that show the stratum of oil in same may be made the producing well. Drill into that area in the six thousand fifty- six (6056), see?
7. (Q) How many feet of present lime have they drilled through? (A) Three.
8. (Q) How much longer should it take to drill to production? (A) Six to eighteen days.
