Cabot to Drill Many Wells

Godfrey L. Cabot, of Boston,
Mass. owner of the local carbon
works. is doing quite a bit OF
drilling in this county at this
time, and before the summer is
over will probably start many
new wells.
On the Terrell heirs tract, on
Big Root, a rig is up and spud-
ding will be commenced Monday.
The S. l.. Sickles No. 2, on Row.
els Run, is drilling at 900 feet
and is expected in in a few days.
The rig Is up and drilling will be
commenced in a few days on the
A. j. Runnion tract near Rich
ardson. All of these wells are
contracted to L. p. Bickel, of
Parkersburg.
On the Thomas Wilson farm.
on Big Root. Contractor Martin
Crowley has a fishing job at a
depth of 1000 feet.
Locations have been made by
Mr.. Cabot for wells on the follow
ing farms: Hunt and Ball, Row.
els Run; F. B. Grim. near Rich
ardson: A. j. Holbert, Spring
Fork; Robert Law, Big Root; Jane
Yoak, Bull River; and Enos Civ
ems. Leafbank. While locations
have been made on all of the
aboYs farms, it is not assured
that wells will be drilled. as it
will depend to a large extent up
on the showing made by the wells
now being drilled.
The greatly increased demand
for the products of Mr.. Cabot's
lamp black factories and the con-
sequently better price thereof,
is said to be the cause of his un-
usual activity at this time. He
has the largest lampblack factory
in the world, located about two
miles below this place, and also
factories at Creston and Spencer,
as well as several in Pennsylvan-
la.
