| is through the sand, and practically dry In its
present condition the venture, perhaps, will

it tomorrow with liberal dose of high explo.

Reports concerning the Roth Oil Com
| pany's well on the Campbell farm are various
and conflicting. The well tapped the paw to-
| day, and the owners think they have pro-

| the drill has penetrated the rock to depth of
l6 feet and the we'll has made one small flow.

present indications it will not break the mar
ket. The well is shut down during the moving
out of the boiler and if no bad luck happens
its owners will get stsrted to drilling again.
