We are sorry to report dry hole al
the well near the State bridge in Green
township. Drillers George Holeman and
Phil Blum went up last week to drill the
we'll to the Bslltown sand, expecting tC
reach it near the 1000 foot depth, bu
found it at depth of 1858 feet. When
the sand was tapped there was smal
amount of gas apparent, and as the drill
further penetrated the sand there was 4
mere suspicion of oil in the sand-pump
ings, but so slight was the showing tha
the venture is considered a complete
"duster." Whether the operators will
drill for deeper sand has not yet beer
determin but IL is doubtful. p. S.-I
has since been decided to drill the vel
about 250 feet deeper, to the Cooper sand
George Holeman and Willis Harmon
went up today to begin drilling.
