DEEP WELL DRILLING.
A P~rospector Who 10 Leasing Land
for OIL Wells.

TOR Ou wells.
+. c. George, representing an East.
ern company engaged in deep well
drilling, Is meeting with great success
ut Huron in securing leases of lands
in Allen township upon which the COM
pany will prospect for oil and gas. Mr..
George has made a careful examiI.l-
ton of the proposed field and is conf
dent that his expectations will be fully
realized. In speaking of the project,
Mr.. George says:
THE peculiar feature Of the great
artesian basin of the state attracts ,le
attention of the geologist and offers to
him a plain solution of the means pro
vided for a lasting and generous sup
ply of water.
IAN examination Of the northwest
ern vein or Outcrop of the substrata of
the basin plainly shows the source of
the water supply and proof of its con-
tinuation. The vein extends to the
southern limit of the state, passing
around the east of the Black Hills
range, where it is much broken up by
upheaval of the range of hills.
Examining the eastern vein of the
basin we find it much lower, and COW
cred by a great mass of the so-called
Sioux Falls granite which is a mass
of stratified rock deposited over the
basin at that side, and covering a large
area.
1.-THE edge of the basin overfowing
at a depth of 100 to 200 feet below the
surface southwest of Sioux Falls, flows
away in a su~bterranean river with a
very strong current to the south, pos
sibly finding an outlet into Sioux river.
in prospecting for water in this ba-
sin we find evidences Of oil having a.
remote period occupied the strata from
which we get the artesian water flow.
Evidently displaced by the inflow of
water, which would force the oil out
by g%ravitation through the same force
at which the water entered, and caus-
ing the oil springs and surface Oil
found in the western part of the state
In many places.
Nov, assuming this to be an estab-
lished fact, it is an evident conclusion
that the lower strata, having no out
crop, must yet contain the oil undis-
turbed, yet under such great pressurH
that at certain points (Pierre) the ga
has escaped upward into the present
water basin through the shales. With
proper means by which the water may
be shut of, we may expect the devel-
opment Of a great oil and gas field"
