The mystery of all oil mysteries,
and if an oil WE'LL the champion shall
low we'll of these or any other parts,
was unearthed at Tuttle yesterday,
according to VIM lnman of this city,
who is showing sample of the prod
uct in the city today.
This well, which was drilled as
water we'll, is So feet deep, Mr.. In
man says and though they passed
through a vein of water about eight
feet shallower than that, they have
in addition to the water, some oily
substance which smells like coal oil
but has a gravity test of So. Thi
product was tested by Chas. Horn,
Grady county oil inspector for the
state The product is light in color.
Everybody in Tuttle has a bottle of
the product and is making wild
guesses as to what it is or might be-
The we'll was being drilled by Mr.
Landrum who operates a grist mill
and also sells gasoline and oil.
Tl0 presence of the oil in the well
was discovered when some of the
water was bailed out yesterday and
allowed to stand a few minutes with
the result that the oil promptly ap-
peared on the surface The operation
was repeated and shortly there was
enough of the product to bottle.
When a match is applied it burns
readily, more so in fact than the
average run of coal oil. Mr.. lnman
states. The sand taken from the bot
tom of the we'll is almost pure white
and appears to be practically like
river bed sand.
There is a possible solution of the
mystery in the fact that Mr. Landrum
has a gasoline tank sunk in the earth
at a point about 70 feet from the
well. Some think it probable that
there is a leak in this tank and that
the stuff in the we'll is the result o
seepage from this leak. Others point
to the probability that the gasoline
from the tank, if there was a leak
would evaporate before it would seeI
through the ground as far away al
