full over the following information
which Is clipped from the Courier

On Wednesday night. the First Cald-

a terrific gas pressure was encount-
cred. Gas and oil were thrown high

some hundred feet above the hole.

II is understood that the Corpora
ti@i was offered $4,000 for this prop
erfS after the well was brought in.
