The Taylor mill people think they
have struck oil. They are after better
water and are sinking a new well for
that purpose. Last evening when
down about sixty feet they struck a
layer of black sand, then a kind of
soapstone, then a pocket of dark liquid
much like crude oil with all the smell
that pertains to that stuff. This morn
ing the story was afoat over all North
Topeka creating more or less excite
rnent. So a Journal reporter went
down to see what was in it. There is
an odOr of oil about the premises
aside from that found in any engine
room, but the Taylor people are not
wild over the matter, and the super
intendent of the drilling work only adj
mits that they found indications of oil.
This much at least is an old story on
the North side. Such indications have
been noticed along the banks of Sol
der creek for years and have been
found in other wells in the neighbor-
hood in years past. It was these facts
that led to the serious attempt to solve
the problem by sinking the wells at
Shorey a few years ago, an attempt
that many believe was abandoned just
a little too soon. The Taylor mill folks
are not crazy over any prospect for oil,
but they do want to find a supply of
soft water.
