Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MONTPELIER, Ind, March 26.-The sec
ond big pump at the Montpelier station of

started and is now forcing oil to the big

pumps were installed, but they were soon
too small TO pump the oil of the Indiana
field out They were taken out and two
larger ones put In, doing the work until
about three years ago, when the production
became SO large that a larger pump was
needed. These have been taken out and the
mammoth pump that has been doing the
WORK was placed on it's bed and has been
running day and night since. Besides 1t
a smaller one has been going the greater
part OF the time. Again the runs began to
pile up and last fall the company began TO
get ready for another pump the size OF the
largest one. 1t was put in and is now going
and the two are pumping several thousand
barrels OF crude oil from this field daily.
Besides enlarsing the pumping capacity
the boilers were looked after, as they were
not large enough and the gas was getting
lower. More boilers were put in and stok-
ers erected to fire them automatically by
coal. The storage tanks were also too
email and two new ones were built. Many
other Important improvements were made
and now the station is the largest in the
Indiana field. The cost of the improve
ments represents many thousand dollars.
