Tuesday afternoon about 3
o'clock, the crew on the Morris
well, which is being drilled by
the Winnsboro Petroleum Com-
pany, hit the Woodbine sand,
which they have been hunting

survey which shows the Wood-

round 2300 feet, but due to
the dip in the rock formation,
which in this instance was in
favor of the drillers, the sand
was found at 2082 feA, which

The drill found rock one and
one-half feet thick just over the
Woodbine sand. As soon as the
bit penetrated this rock, the
drill immediately went to the
bottom of the sand, fourteen
feet in thickness, at which
depth drilling was stopped, the

The Chamber of Commerce
