have completed their first well with
q rich strike OF the much coveted
art!ele-that peerless quality OF lu-
bricating oil Of which the owners
OF that field had a taste few years
ago.
As a rule, when an oil man strikes
the precious fluid his mouth at
once becomes 'dry hole"; and
this case Is no exception to the rule.
The gentlemen In charge are not so
extremely reticent as oil mt usual
ly are, however, and they acknow-
ledge having reached the vein OF oil
hoped for. They are evidently well
pleased and preparations are being
made to put down another well at
once.
oil from this vein has been used
all over this county for lubricating
various kinds Of machinery. We
have used it on our large printing
press and found IL excellent. No
refinement whatever was given 1t.
The oil is thick or heavy" and OF
yellowish brown color. II is said
to be worth - per barrel just as il
comes from tho grobnd.
We wish the present company
every success and hope our people
will give them reasonable encour-
agement.
