An average shot in the Casey field is 85 quarts, though some operators persist in drilling deep and using 120 to 150 quarts in all wells. "The bigger the shot the better the well" is the motto of some of the operators in the Sig- gins pool.
The shooting is done by a contractor who follows it as a vocation. He is usually an agent of the company who manufactures the explo- sive, and often works on the percentage system, receiving from the company a stipulated sum per quart for the explosive sold....
The nitro-glycerine is hauled overland from the factory in square tin cans holding eight to ten quarts each, and stored in quantity in buildings erected in some out of the way place at various points in the oil field. When a well is ready to be shot, the agent who does the shooting transports, in a light buckboard buggy, padded and fitted for the purpose, a number of these cans to the well. There the glycerine is poured into cylindrical tin cans, called "shells, " about five inches in diameter and long enough to hold 20 quarts of the explosive.
