WONDERFUL WELL
that SPOUTS OIL
Like Thanksgiving Day, Always
Comes in November.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)


TAZEWELL, VA, December 20.-A very
peculiar oil we'll exists near Paynes
Creek, six miles from Barboursville, and
has puzzled the oil men Of the whole
country round about.
The well, which is now in the middle
of the creek, flows regularly every No
venber, but never at any other time Of
the year. During the month it flows at
intervals, discharges great streams of
oil, gas avs salt water and suddenly
stops to flow no more until November
comes around again.
This strange we'll was drilled in 1910 on
the bank near Paynes Creek, by old
settlers, who were after salt water, from
which to obtain their salt. The ma
chinery used at that date was of the
crudest nature yet the drillers succeeded
in getting down 450. feet. when. to their
establishment and dismay, they struck
an immense stream OF oil, which flowed
for days and weeks.
In the course of time the bed of the
stream changed until at this day it flows
over the top of the well. Since then
during every November the water over
and around the hole boils up through the
force Of escaping gas.
AS far back as the people in the neigh
borhood can recollect the we'll has
made these annual eruptions. This year
the disturbance came somewhat earlier
than usual, attracting more than ordi-
nary attention, owing doubtless to the
fact that oil men are operating in that
section Of the country.
