White Rock s. D., Feb. 2.-Three companies
are making arrangements to start drilling Tor
oil here as soon as the weather will permit.
Investigations have proceeded until 1t Is known
that the gas comes from Trenton rock, the for
nation from which gas was found in such
abundance in Indiana and other fields There
are also surface indications Of sulphur, which
points to an oil-bearing territory. OIL men OF
large experience assert that somewhere in South
Dakota the oil fields of the north must have
a connection with those Of Kansas and Texas. In
drilling wells in this territory the work was
done in every instance with machinery not
adapted to the sand or Trenton rock, consequently
as soon as the rock was struck the flow OF
gas became so strong in some instances as to
make further work dangerous.
Leases for all the land where the gas-bearing
rock was first found have been taken, and
efforts are being quietly made to purchase the
same under guise or another. Land values
have not as yet made any decided advance. but
it is thought that as soon as drilling starts
no land will be for sale at any moderate
figures. The indications at present point to a
territory Of no less than thirty miles in extent.
and expert says that oil might be found
many miles from where the present interest is
conferred.
