TRENTON LIMESTONE
Has Never Been Found West of the
Underneath.

1t was joyful information to all
VINO are Interested in the oil fields
near Roswell that Trenton limestone
had been struck. The drill ran into
the body of limestone last Sunday
at depth of SS5 feet. When Mr.. Is
aac Garfield, under whose superv1s-
ion the well is being drilled, left the
camp last evening at five O'Clock the
drill was still ploughing through the
hard, tough formation at depth OF
$50 feet having gone through ninety
five feet of Trenton Lime. Mr.. Can
field says the thicker the Trenton
limestone the thicker the oil sand
when struck This oil sand always
lies under the Trenton lime. The
country varies Mr. Garfield stated
that in all his experience in drilling
oil wells, covering a period of forty
six years he had never seen indica-
tions more favorable for great oil
field than right here. The rock and
lime formations and the salt water
encountered at a depth of 440 feet
in it will be permanent. At a depth
of 440 feet it was necessary to put
in a 10-inch casing to shut out the
salt water In drilling this water is
used, the casing being loosened en-
ough to let the required amount drip
down.
In this Trenton lime there is also
a tremendous amount of natural gas,
which is another sure indication of
OIL The lime is saturated with oil,
and specimens ON exhibition at the
office of the company in the Texas
block have a strong odor of gas and
petroleum.
Mr.. Garfield says: THE conditions
could not be more favorable, but no
man on earth cam judge or tell how
much deeper the Trenton lime will
run, and how deep under this lies
the oil sand. We may encounter oil
within the next ten feet. or it may
be several hundred feet. We have
not struck any fresh water, and salt
wateh carries oil. This is the first
time Trenton limestone has ever
been found this side of the Missouri
river, and wherever it has been
found in other sections it is a sure
thing that oil lies beneath it. When
you shear a sheep you know abso-
lutely that the sheep is on the inside.
So with oil. When the Trenton lime
is discovered above it is certain that
oil is beneath.
This Trenton lime received its
name about As years ago, when it
was found cropping out near Tren-
covered that it runs Through the wes-
tern portion of New York state, Penn.
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia. In West Virginia it is found
at depth of from 1900 to 2.200 feet
In Ohio, from 900 to 1900, and about
the same depth in Indiana The shall
lowest depths are in the western
portion -of New York and in Penn
sylvaaia.
As / have already stated, we have
drilled through ninety-five feet of
the lime and are still drilling in it.
In pennsylvania the thickness of the
Trenton lime IS from 20 to 80 feet.
ana again in West Virginia where
the great oil fields are located the
Trenton lime ranges in thickness
from 100 to 500 feet My experience
has been that the thicker the Tren-
ton lime the thicker the OIL sand. 1
