tract lying on the bank of the river
and Is covered with Oh tanks, There
is an oil tank situated Within three
feet of the well. This land is part ot
tho 300 acres included In what rs
known as the jerks tank farm of
the Prairie Oh \ Gas company.
There has been some doubt express
ed as TO whether oil wells could be
safely" drilled I'm "a tank farm, owing
10 the danger from gas combustion.
Tho L. O. ~ G.. do not seom TO think
tho danger is serious and the fact
that they have already drilled one
well on tho upper edge Of this tank
farm would Indicate that they VIII
drnl up the entire tract II 1t seems
10 he OIL bearing territory. II So We
viii have the strange spectacle OF an
extensive body Of land covered with
tanks and derricEs.
The Prairie on & Gas company do
not own AN the land south OF the
Julia smith or between it and the
