The irrigation test well being put
down on the McGee land adjoining
town, has been giving much trouble.
The hole caved so that it had to be
cased. The first water was cased off,
but it soon worked down below the
casing and caused more caving. At
last report the drill was on the rock
at 33 feet, and it was expected that
the heavy water supply would be en
countered in the gravel below the
rock. Accordingly perforated cas
ing was prepared to be seated on the
rock.

P. Collins Investment Co. of Oklaho
