Sundance Oil Co. reports No. 2 Whipple-Colton in Banner County producing well from the J sand at a satisfactory daily rate. Five rigs idle in the Panhandle. two new permits issued Morrill and Richardson counties. A nearby Colorado well No. 1 Nelson pumps over 150 barrels daily, signaling cross-border activity. Leasing tapers off in Sioux, Dawes and Box Butte counties after a summer flare, with many lands already leased.
