In Marion County the Carnegie Natural Gas Company and Bartlett drilled on the Z. Huteon farm near Dent's run, Manchington district, and struck a promising pay. The first pay in the thirty foot sand flowed at fifteen barrels per hour, suggesting a producer comparable to the Higgin Botham well one mile northeast. Drilling paused for tankage before deeper work, with potential extension to the northwest if successful. Other districts yielded only modest results, though the McKowan Creek field in Walton district produced a better well than average and the Big Thjun area showed potential for around thirty barrels daily.
