men BORE FOR
OIL AT HICKMAN, KY,

HICKMAN, Ky, July "a. (SpI)-
Hickman is becoming excited over the
renewed oil activities. w. Fl. New
berry, OF Fort Worth, Tex, a million
are OIL operator, accompanied by his
geologist, came to Hickman and looked
over the "sunken lands west of town
and down as far as Reelfoot lake, and
both were of the opinion that oil exists
IN this region. II Is a matter of COM
NOR knowledge that natural gas exists
west OF Hickman, in some instances be-
ing tapped by shallow driven wells, not
over % feet from the surface. Mr.. New
berry has accordingly employed Judge
+ s. Moore. W. J. McMurray and
Judge W. 3. Amberg, attorneys, to So
cure for him leases on all land be-
tween Hickman and the lake that can
be had, amounting to about 40, 900 acres,
ana already n large portion OF this lease
has been closed up.
MIR. Newberry proposes to begin put
ting down wells Immediately, five Of
them, in search Of oil and gas, which he
believes Is here. lie is not selling stock
and Is asking no one for a cent. On
the other hand, he has appropriated
$500 0 to be spent on the drilling. The
wells, 1t Is understood here, will be put
down " the four corners OF Reelfoot
lake ana one in the center of the lake
If no strike is made outside OF the lake.
The leases Mr.. Newberry IL securing
are to remain in force for a term of
seven years from date, and as long
thereafter as oil or gas, or either Of
them, is produced from said land.
Hickman people are greatly excited
over the prospect and feel that Mr..
Newberry must believe very strongly
in tho project or he would not be will
ing to spend $3.50, 900 in searching for
oil here.
