1t is not an oil gusher, but an oil

But deep well may furnish as con
stant and steady supply Of oil, as
gusher, In boring for water you may
strike a wet weather well or never

not tell one from the other. Boring
for oil has the same uncertainty; You
may strike practically an inexhausti

for the boring You csnnot tell and
will never know, until you try. But,
where there is much smoke, there is
some fire; :" and where there is little
oil. there is likely tobe more.

waste from the gas tank but the great

joint owners of the property, saw it
for the first time Saturday He
carried dipper with him, and dipped
the oil from the well until he was
tired, without making any impression
upon the supply. He took long stick
and stuck it down the hole without
touching side, edge or bottom. With
the result that every time Mr.. Frier-
sou dipped his individual ticker re-
corded rise in his stock.
1t is enough not only to encourage
but to enthuse man, to actually
see the oil running out of the ground
faster than he can dip it out. and of
course the owners will not hesitate to
explore the source from whence it
comes. They will begin soon, next
week perhaps, with a well borer, and
and will go down into the earth five
hundred CT thousand feet.
Success to them
