REEMAN REDDING
PLAY LEADS ALL
OTHERS IN STAT
Potential Lease and Drilling
Investment Greatest
of Year
With 22 drilling wells and at least
six other rigs, the Freeman-Redding
play in Clare county leads all others
in Michigan outside ot the shallow
lime drilling booms in Southwestern
Michigan. • From the standpoint of
potential lease and drilling investments, the Clare play may well be-,
come the biggest of the current year
Drilling operations currently center
in the discovery sector of the Van
Horn pool, although several outlaying
tests, drilling or projected, may spread
activity over a much wider area by
ini'd-October.'
Still under pump test last week waa
Pure Oil Company's Switzer No. 1,
section 27-19n-6w, Redding township,
1 1-2 north of the Higelmire discovery
well. The Switzer on pump tests early
in the week was reported producing
"" "15 barrels or less." It has been
acidized at least three times, and as a
commercial addition to the play is,
mediocre at best in its present status.
V" However, the fact that the Switzer
apparently has structure (it is rated a
foot higher on Monroe than the discovery) and oil, is of considerable importance and a direct result of othen
testing, particularly south toward the
discovery.
Closer to the discovery sector but
also in a questionable commercial
stage early in the week was Gulf Refining Company's Van Horn No. 2, SW)
SE "NW, section 3-18n-6w, Freeman
township, east offset to Higelmire No.
2,and Gulf No. 1 big flush wells. Gulf's
Van Horn No. 2, originally bottomed
at 3,881 feet showed around 1,800 feet
of oil natural and reacted poorly tq
acid. Deepened last week to 3,885 feet
(11 feet in Monroe) it filled up and,
made one or more flows. Acidized it
rated from 80 to 100 barrels production. It was being deepened Tuesday
of last week with operators holding
hopes of picking up the 14 1-2 feet in
pay found on Higelmire No. 2, the
west offset.
Closest to completion "but expected,
a week away is Socony Vacuum Oil
Company's Van Horn No. 2, SW NE;
NW, section 3, east offset to Socony's
Van Horn No. 1, the well that hit
3,800 barrels, on an initial flush test.
v Socony currently has six wells drill-
* ' trig and a seventh rigged to lead all
other companies in the play. Pure
has four drilling and three rigged.
. Of the outlying tests, Pure Oil Company's Zink No. 1, c n 1-2 aw se, section 27, Redding township, with 1,23"}
feet in September 26, was the deepest
in relation to the Switzer extension,
It is about*a half mile east and a
quarter mile south of the Switzer. A

WINTERFIELD LAD
FATALLY SHOT IN
HONTINGTRAGED.
Vernon   Dunn   Victim   of
Accidental Shooting
Sunday Afternoon
(By Harrison Correspondent)
A tragic accident which occurred
late Sunday afternoon, in. the northwest corner of Clare County, shocked
and grieved Clare County residents,
when Vernon, the fourteen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. James Dunn of
Winterfield township, lost his life.
Vernon, together with two companions, Robert Gable, 13, and Ernest
Kennedy, 14, all armed With repeater
shot, guns had spent the afternoon
hunting ducks in the Clam River in
Winterfield township. Enroute home
the boys were walking down the road,
when at the bridge on the corner of
section 17 and 20, they had to step
from the road to let a truck, driven
by Virgil Blackledge, of Winterfield
township pass. The Dunn youth jump^
ed from the road to the edge of the
bridge, setting his 16 guage shot gun,
barrel up, on the bridge edge as he
jumped. The gun slipped, and in falling from the bridge, struck the iron
structure, breaking the hammer and
discharging the shell in the barrel,
which struck and instantly killed thcj
lad. The charge entered the boys
head in his left cheek, at the corner
of his mouth, passing out behind his
left ear.
Mr. Blackledge stopped to aid the
youth, then notified officials.
Coroner Andrew Friz, of Clare, examined the body, pronouncing accidental death due to a gun shot wound.
Sheriff George Bates, who was called,
to investigate the accident, reports it
accidental in the careless handling
of firearms.
The Kennedy and Gable boys were
exonerated of all blame of the accident.
Funeral arrangements were made by
Undertaker H. L. Dunbar of Marion.
CLARE'S HOMES
WAYS
More Than  Forty  Homes
Built in Past Three
Years
(By Chester A. Richard)
Since*" Peter Galium built the first
house in Clare, just west of where
the Mason building now stands, the
residences of the City have vied with
the business .blocks for supremacy.
The first thought of the pioneers has
ever been to provide comfortable and
pleasant homes for their families.
The first brick house was built here
by W. S. Cooley, on west Fifth street,
about where the post office now
stands.
Year after year new homes were
built, and the humble homes of the
settlers gave way to the more stately
homes of the leaders of our city's Civic
and commercial activities.
For a time the building of residences settled down to an occasional
house or two a season, but with the
coming of the petroleum industry new
homes were in demand and during the
past three years (since January 1st,
1936) forty-four permits, for the erection of residences, have been granted
by city officials.
During 1936, building permits were
granted as follows:
Robert Gardner, frame, W. Fifth St.
R. E. Joslin, frame, N. McEwan St.

that Jane Addams did in Chicago and
Madam Schumann-Heincke for the

Rev.    Charles    Mackenzie
Spoke at Hotel Doherty
Wednesday
"Service is the rent we pay for being alive in a world like this" was the
keynote of the address given by
Lieutenant-Governor Rev. "Charles
Mackenzie, of Mt. Pleasant, who spoke
to the Clare Club Wednesday evening,
on the subject "The Philosophy of
Kiwanis," Rev. Mackenzie pointed
out that the greatest lessons can be
learned from studying the lives of
men who have had enough of what it
takes to enable them to succeed in
spite of obstacles. Tie explained that
even in times such as the world Is
passing through, the men who are
really equipped with ability and the
wiil to succeed are usually employed.
Tha .world's woxk^and- -the., world's
bills are being' handled by the men
who are succeeding. Rev. Mackenzie
expressed the hope that the men who
are endowed" with the abilities which
aid in success might take advantage
of every opportunity to assist the person who is less fortunate. If Kiwanis
helps in any measure toward a realization of this goal then it will prove its
right to existence. Tim Cotter, program chairman for the meeting introduced Rev. Mackenzie.
Tho following men were awarded
fifty pins, by President Harry Wehrly,
for perfect attendance for fifty consecutive meetings: Harold Fleming,
Albert Haley, Dr. C. B. Neff, Donald,

other companies held leases on anotlt-

Earlier drilling, by lumber companies, for salt, showed indications o_
