BUCKEYE FIELD
EXTENDED TO EAST
BY SHAFFER NO. 1
New Test's Completion Indicates Field is at Least
Two Miles in Width
A lull in Buckeye township's record
of completions was noticed this
iweel., with only two tests logging
production from the Dundee lime,
but it fore-shadowed an unparalleled
fortnight of. completion activity.
Numerojiis projects were hovering
over the promised land, midweek,
and casing operations on seven tests
were being rushed in preparation for
the final stab of the bit into the- expected producing limestone.
Extending the field further to the
east .from the J. V. Wicklund Development company's discovery
quartet, Gryden Petroleum corporation's Shaffer 1, sw se sw in section
(12, was completed early in the week
for an hourly production gauge of
from 50 to 70 barrels initial flow.
fl_he Shaffer, although running considerably Ipwer on structure than tlie
original production to tha west, has
definitely indicated a producing area
of at least two miles in breadth and
is certain to open section 12 to im-
Snediatei development.
As the pendulum swung this week
.from the Shaffer to its-greatest arc
in section 14, a strike of 450 barrels
riatural production was made by
Marshall H. Bauman on the Wager 1,

at a depth of 3553 feet two weeks
ago, the Wager picked up the pay
sand at 3622 feet and was deepened
to" a total; depth of 3650 fee*. Operators are considering the advisibility
ot treating the well with acid.
Completed late last week for an estimated production of between 40 and
50 barrels hourly, Michigan Producers & Refining corporation's Frances

awaited completion of the Muskegon
Development company's McMahan 1,

Geological importance of the test
was due to its position on the northern rim of the present production in
sections 25 and 36, and to the indication of a connection of the upper
and lower fields by thei McMahan's

completion. Final drilling record, on

Remember the , cat hunt, wherein
several hundred of our local people
journeyed to the Roscommon Reserve,
where they ..met Jim Catron and Blain
Brennan with their dogs? And although everyone had ,a fine' time the
cats .were still running when the
hunters decided to come home. However, last Sunday was a different
story with some of onr local men
when a few of our cat specialists met
Jim Catron at Leota'and within, a
Short time had a nice'cat on the run.
"Woody Woodcock heard the deep
baying of the hounds, tried to follow
them and got lost and the rest of the
boys were for a long time, fearfui
;that "Woody" would have to stay itt
the woods over night. • "Dead-Eye?*
Larman and ."SurerFoot" Clute were
so overwhelmed by the disappearance
'of "Woody"' that they failed to see
the cat following in their footsteps
and it was only the alertness of Jim
Catron that saved the day and killed
the cat. However, the boys brought
home a nice twenty pound cat that
measured about 5 feet from tip to tip.

When Christ Arose
When Christ arose on Easter day,
The sunbeams burst through clouds of gray;
The violets bloomed their bluest blue.
And hyacinths increased in hue
While jonquils looked a bit more gay!
The hilltop breezes stopped to*"play
With tulips blooming by the wary;
The starry-eyed narcissus knew
When Christ arose!
As angels moved the stone away,
A choir of lilies breathed a lay;
Wee buds were christened with the dew,
And bluebells chimed the anthems through!
Each flower rejoiced, and knelt to pray
When Christ arose.
