STRUCK OIL AT DH DEQuB

A 5-foot vein of oil sand has bees
pierced by the drills of the Grand
River Oil and Gas company at DeBequs
and is so rich IN oil that the company
has sent sa"pies to its stockhc'dsTs.
The drill bit was dripping with the
liquid when raised after striking the
stratum, says tie Sentinel.
The flow Of gas is also unusually
strong. The company has cut off the
visitors coming on Sunday, and they
are now allowed only ON week days.
This is for the purpose Of minimizins
the danger of accidents from fire. II
the gas flow should ignite it would
mean a fearful loss to the drillers just
now.
The company was not content with
the 5-foot strata, but has gone on dowa
and will continue boring until q heavier
flow is found.
The oil sand was struck At 1900 fest
and it is thought that the oil stra4s
will be caught again by the time ths
1000 foot mark il reached.
The Colorado eprinss company will
probably be ON the ground By the fisss
