Griffith, Monroe Co.. o.
From sll reports the shallow sand
we'll which was drilled on the Geo.
roth farm will not cause decline
In the price of oil. According to
the eeologist or whatever he was.
they were to get a 20 barrel we'll
at a depth of I6o feet but they did
mot get 1t there and went 24o teetI
and their labors were crowned with
a heavy flow of water instead of oil;
we feel sorry for the R.A. OIL COM
pany as they will still have to make |
their living by their daily toll, but |
such is life.
