Oil Wells

Edgeley.-Ag great many people have
scoffed 1t the idea that there is oil in
this locality, but the developments of
the past few weeks have caused them
to change their tune. During the past
month several Oil experts have visited
Edgeley and thoroughly investigated
the conditions of the country. A ma
jority Of the visitors were very en-
thusiastic lin the belief that oil could
be secured here in paying quantities
by drilling to a certain depth. The
different gas wells in this locality
were visited, and the one at the EcSels
farm has every indication that the gas
is an oil product on account of it's pc.
culiar odor. The odor of the gas that
comes from the Eclsels well is quite
different from that of the other wells
in the surrounding country.
