OIL AND GAS IS
STRUCK BY
ORILLERS
5-FoCt Vein Of Oil Sand Pierced
by The De BHque Concern;
Some Danger Of Fire.

A 5-foot vein of oil sand has been
pierced by the drills of the Grand
River Oil & Gas Company at De
Beque and is so rich in oil that the
company has sent samples to its
stockholders. The drill bit was drip
ping with the liquid when raised af-
ter striking the stratum.
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 minimizing
the danger of accidents from fire
If 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
down and will continue boring until
a heavier flow is found.
