Each of these 2 wells showed pressure of about 11 lbs. No. 9, being drilled to upper horizon, while still 100 ft from bottom, blew out Sunday AM with unexpected pressure of about 22 lbs and very large volume of water, probably In excess of one million GPD. Was placed under control after few hours, and we have shipped heavy mud, but are going to have considerable expense and will require careful handling to complete the hole and set liner. E. B. Hall personally on ground to arrange procedure. He has competent foreman in charge but will move a second competent drilling foreman to job, working foremen 12 -hour shifts until the well is completed. These wells prove our recent purchase of 1/4- section to be excellent water-bearing land. 8-105 F3 CG - Mr. W. H. Guild
