has bored and capped two wells and is
drilling third, another company has
done the same thing while third
company has bored and capped one
well and is boring a second hole. The
men in charge maintain absolute re-
ticence as to what was found. It is
said that standard rigs are being used
and the holes range from 140C % ie0o
feet in depth. an being located within
short distance OF each other
It is all speculation at the scene Of
these activities as to what the pros

curiosity being aroused, but the con

found and information is being with
