PAYING OIL WELL STRUCK
IN HOPKINS COUNTY, Ky

Madisonville, KY, June 7.-An
oil well, believed to be from 800 to
$50 barrels, was brought in by the
Moss Hill Oil and Gas company this
week, the first producing well re-
ported by this company, which has
been operating for several months
The well had been drilled to a depth
of only $50 feet when the oil was
struck. A pump was secured and
set up and started and the capacity
was found to be 10 gallons the first
hour. A leak developed in the pump
which caused delay. According to
tests made, the quality of the oil is
fine, and the prospects for further
developments are very bright.
The company owns several hum
bred acres of oil rights in the south
ern end of the county and several
drills will be put to work at an early
date.
