OIL WELL is
GIVING HOPE
What Is Supposed To Be Oil
Bearing Rock Has Been
Bored Fifty feet.
Oil Experts Say This Rock
Must Be Pierced Before
Can Be Found,

The work at the oil we'll at Sui
phur Springs is becoming more in
teresting during the past week or
two than at any stage of the drill
ing. There are certain things that
must occur before oil is reached, and
when they do occur the driller be-
gins to feel that thrill a poker player
does when he gets three aces in the
first deal with big jack pot on.
When the old we'll was drilled. the
first appearance of oil was made
when rock was struck at 200 feet,
but bad luck came and the we'll had
to be abandoned. The same rock
has been struck at 200 feet. In
order to go through this rock an ex-
pensive drill was purchased to ex-
pedite the work; but drilling through
rock is slow process, at best. This
rock has been bored into fifty feet
and it is not known how much deep
er it must be bored.
1t is admitted ~ all drillers that
the, reaching Of this rock must occur
in all oil fields before oil is struck,
and since some oil has been found,
hopes are high that the sign will
prove true and that beneath this
rock oil will be found.
Secretary Martin of the Meridian
Oil Company is not talkative. He
says he is very hopeful, but that the
best way to prove that the oil is there
is to find it. He says he has the in
dications and he is. going after the
oil. II it's there he will get it.
