Vernon Well Creates Sensation at Sunshine Hill
The John Herschie well on A. H. Murchison, BE. H W. Pigg and Eugene Keltz blew in last Saturday and rose to an estimated 1000 barrels daily, drawing strong interest from oil operators in North Texas.

It extends the field north of Electra and is said to be the largest producer in the north Electra field, yielding Electra crude. The area was previously deemed unproductive.
