Start Drilling Again After the force at the Delhi well north of here got the sixinch casing all pulled last Friday, it was found that the underrim. mer was so firmly forced into the shoe that it was impossible to get it out without ruining the shoe. The shoe is a piece of hardened steel pipe which is fastened on the end of the casing to to protect it from being battered by the pig bit. It was necessary to go to Wichita after a new shoe. This was done and the men got back Sunday.

Monday the work of settin; the pipe back in place was started and was finished Tuesday. Drilling will likely start again today and the question of the supply of oil will probably soon be definately decided. However, it is possible that they may have to go considerable deeper if the present showing is not in paying quantities. This will, of course be determined when the hole is bailed out which will he done as soon as the pipe is back in place.
