PROGRESS OF DRILLING TO
DATE SATISFACTORY; CREW
IS OPTIMISTIC
(By Special Correspondent )
Drilling at the Peterson Oil Asso-!
ciatod well, located on Section 28, Tp. j
20. N. R. 5 \V., a half mile east of the
Chickaloon coal spur and about two
.miles from Chickaloon station is pro
i
| gressing favorably as could be ex
pected in the formation now being
penetrated. At a depth of approoxi
mately 650 feet the drill encountered
fractured and faulted carbonaceous
shale and ravelly ground, necessitat
ing stringing casing and under-ream
ing before proceeding with further
drilling. Considerable delay has been
experienced this summer by break
ing of two pars and a fishing job when
the string of tools dropped to the
bottom of the hole. Additional parts
were received on September 1, which
wiki permit of more rapid progress for
the remainder of the season. Owing
to the shallow depth of hole there is
nothing to indicate the presence of
oil, despite many speculative reports.
The drill is now in carbonaceous
j shale, having passed through several
j coal seams. Nothing will be known
of the value of the structure for oli
until the drill has passed the 1,000
foot point, where a diamond drill hole,
'Sunk by the' Bureau of Mines several
years ago, was abandoned. This
hole produced considerable gas, which
also is present in the hole now being
; drilled for oil. Samples of the gas
!have been taken by J. J. Corey of the
Bureau of Mines and forwarded for
analysis to determine if it is ethane
or butane gas, the former being hydre
carbon gas indicating oil. Mr. Peter
son and his drilling crew are well
j satisfied with results thus far, and are
I optimistic of striking oil at th# proper
| horizon. Surface indications in the
structure point to this horizon being
i below the 2,000 foot point.

WOLVES ARE NUMEROUS
f Oscar Vogle, who has trapped from j
the province of Alberta, Canada, to ;
the Old Man Lake country, east of j
Chickaloon and beyond the Nelchina
j country, and who is now engaged in j
packing in his winter’s supplies, j
brought in the paw and scalp of a
| monster black wolf on a recent trip
out. Vogle reports to The Gateway;
the wolves are numerous at the head
| of the Chickaloon river and in the
caribou country beyond.
