The Frantz No 5 gusher, the fifteenth well on Cat Creek, shoots oil over 100 feet. Located northeast of township 14 18 in the Wildschutz tract, it joins three Frantz/Sinon wells on the lease with two more owned by Mid-Northern. Expect big flush production possibly in the four figures once measured.
A catalog of active oil wells in Eastern Fergus County lists multiple producing sites with section township and range designations. Entries include Frante No 1 and Frantz Nos 4 and 2, Great Western SESW 10-15-29, Charlies No 1 NW3 21-16-30, Ritter-Lawson NW NEJ 9-15-29, and Mid No 3 NW 13-29 among others.
Rotted OCR yields garbled phrases like "Every biuffe a in ots citer" and "Magiawe cso" with no clear name, place, or event. Readable bits hint at a local notice or column but lack concrete facts to summarize.
The Mid-Northern No 5 well came in last Friday with a slow flow of 1,200 to 1,500 C al. It sits 220 feet south of No 4 on the Wildshutz tract near Frantz No 2. The company labeled this well No 4 due to spudding order, but its completion status remains unclear.
The article notes rising oil activity with many landholders receiving bonuses for leases. A front page list shows producers and active rigs while operators plan to add four or five rigs before late spring. Some lease renewals occur every six months with per acre payments.
Fragments indicate multiple oil rigs active in Eastern Fergus with numerous identifiers such as Cat Ci'k Con and Brush Creek Dome. The record notes irregularities in keeping an accurate tally of wells while naming several locations and company references.
A fragment humor piece about miscommunication between spouses. It hints at men’s behavior during war and a failed attempt to use a vacuum cleaner, highlighting domestic quirks and the difficulty of understanding each other.
The report notes contamination concerns at an Atascadero facility owned by Lewis Enterprises. Investigators observed offsite effects near a nearby river and air warnings issued. The outfit plans a weeklong inspection to assess damage and containment needs.
