ANOTHER DEEP WELL AT WHITE OAK.
The great success of the deep we'll of
Colonel Jackson at White Oak has in
duced the Adar Oil Company, composed
of Messrs. Longmoor, Parshal and
Adair, to bore another. A large hole
was bored and no pains or expense was
spared for the purpose of thoroughly
testing the theory of deep wells in that
locality. They have bored well near
the old Barbour well. At S75 feet
they found very fine oil rock, with gas
and every indication of a good supply
of the oleaginous fluid. The well was
cased with sat inch casing, and pump
ing was commenced on yesterday
wednesday, morning, with a fine
promise of success. Great interest is
felt in the result Of this well, as it is
thought by many that it will test the
practicability of deep wells at White
Oak, though, of course, other wells may
be successful, even if the fine promises of
this one should not be realized
