NEW OIL GusHER FOUND.
Well That Flows $50 Barrels Day
I'm Manitoba.

Helena. Mont. Aug. ga gusher that
spouts oil worth several dollars barrel
has been struck in Manitoba, just
across the border from Flathead field.
The well has yielded as high ass 300
barrels a day, but because IL has not
been properly cased the average is low
err. The government has accepted tine
well as a genuine gusher. With a little
development IL will be a fine producer.
Eek, erts say the ground on this side Of
the border shows much better indica-
tions. Oil in this district is excellent
for illuminating and lubricating pur-
poses. IL is pronounced much better
than that produced in either Texas or
California.
