ANOTHER OIL CONCERN.
Prominent Florence Men Organize
The Acme Oil Company.

The latest venture in the way of
an oil company is that which was
formed today by several well known
men of Florence, and the concern
will be known as The Acme Oil
company The new aggregation
launches out under the most favor
able conditions.
The following officers have been
chosen for the first year: j. j.
ODonnell, president; J. d. Ran
dol, vice president; E. E. Hanger,
secretary Oscar Bauman, treasurer;
Judge @ ID. Bradley, legal advis-
or, and r. l.. Kelley, consulting
engineer.
The above with the addition of
I. H. Newkirk and h. H. Paxton
and with the exception of c. d.
Bradley, constitute the board of
directors.
Four thousand acres of land
located IL miles southeast of the
city has been-secured 1t is stated
that development work will be
commenced just as soon as mate

The drilling machinery to be
used will be sufficiently heavy to
drill to depth of 1900 feet if
Unnecessary hat il seems s.gessr,,s,,xl to be the
depth of 2.2OO feet. 1t is evidentlv
the intention of the company to
Ind the oil if it exists for there are
few drilling outfits in the Florenoe
field that are heavy enough to hold
the drill at the end of 1900 foot
cable The oil indications there
are the same as on the other oil
land of Florence.
Inc company as yet has not de-
cioeo on tie amount of it's capital
lzation. Stock will be placed on
the market shortly and orders for
the same will be taken in about n
week. 1t is thought that OPERA
tions will be commenced in about
