OIL WELL REPORTED
75-Foot Pit Filled to Within Is
Feet of Top Near Sioux Line

A 75-foot we'll with oil and water
standing within is feet of the top, is
reported at Matho, near the Sioux
county line in South Dakota. Twenty
eight per cent of oil was found in a
we'll only IS feet deep, near McIn-
tosh. ( Near Marmarth gas has been
struck in several places.
The wide publicity given these re.
ports argues for their authenticity.
In fact, there is no reason why they
should be doubted. 1t has long been
known that North Dakota, and South
Dakota, too, rest upon almost solid
foundations of coal. And where there
are sufficient decayed matter and
pressure to make coal, both oil and
gas are bound to eventually come into
existence. d. ~
North Dakota will, indeed, be for.
tunate in the discovery of oil and gas.
Capital for development of such en-
terprises ought to be readily forth
coming.
