Omemee Herald: While sew
eral Of the towns in the county
have been boasting of new oil
and gas discoveries, a farmer
near Omemee has been very
modest about advertising the
discovery of oil on his farm.
Jos. Lescault, who lives about
six miles northeast of Omemee,
discovered strong traces of Pc
troleum in his we'll six weeks
ago. He has on several occa-
sions since found evidence of
oil and it is believed that pc
troleum could be found there
in paying quantities. Old SET
tie rs remember that gas and
oil were found in that vicinity
more than twenty years ago.
It is the general belief that if
any of the oil discoveries in
this county ever become paying
pro perties it will be the wells
in the vicinity of the noun
