AN OIL BOOM

Just now this town and county
is experiencing another oil boom.
A great number of capitalists
are sending their representatives
through Knox County in an eff
fort to secure leases for oil and
|gas, and a very large part of the
territory has been taken up.
Only a few years ago some
wells were sunk in this county
and in almost every instance a
splendid showing of oil and gas
were had. We have the greatest
gas well in Kentucky now in
operation near Barbourville. 1t
has been flowing for thirteen or
fourteen years, and is as strong
to-day as ever.

In 1902, and 1903, we had
several oil wells that flowed from
their own force, That Was rather
shallow drilling and owing to the
fact that there was no pipe line
many operators We're discouraged
and quit the field. But the price
of oil is now higher than for
many years and every indication
points to a lasting and perma-
nent development in this field.
Every experienced oil man is of
the opinion that Knox County
will be paying territory; and the
activity shown recently indicates
they are very much in earnest
bout bringing developments.
