Company Sering For Oil At
Buffers Landing.

The Homer Petroleum com
pany. consisting of a group Of
Kansas oil operators and bank
ers. have been drilling a test wei
at Buffers Landing. and strucl
oil at the unusual depth of 4e
feet.
This well was located near an
old well which was drilled in
1869 and which produced con-
siderable amount of oil estimat-
ed at $50 barrels per day from
$50 feet depth. At that time oil
was not 30 valuable as it is to,
day and transportation troubles
were numerous, but several at
temps were made to market the
oil from this we'll even at that
early day. and barge was built
about 20 feet by 100 feet and
drawing about four feet Of water
when loaded. Three attempts
were made to bring this barge
down the Cumberland River. but
after losing three barges loaded
with oil. this plan Of marketing
the oil was abandoned, the casing
left in the we'll and the hole care
fully plugged.
Last fall Mr.. Homer together
with Fred W. Eastman. both
Kansas oil operators. visited the
oil well and secured a sample of
the oil, and had it tested and the
test verified the account of the
past history of the we'll from Mr.
D. C. Mitchell, who owns the
farm that the well is located on.
Mr.. Mitchell was a boy and lived
in the neighborhood when the
well was drilled in and remem-
bered all the details and delights
in recalling the incidents con-
nected with the loading of the
barge with oil.
The sample of the oil secured
tested 80 gravity, 25 per cent
gasoline. 40 per cent kerosene,
80 per cent gas oil and S per
cent residue,
MrSHomer and his associates
secured about so, 600 acres OF oil
leases in Clay, Jackson, 0verton
and Macon Counties and have
moved a drill outfit in from
Bowling Green, KY, and will
give this section a good test for
oil.
Their first test well was locat-
ed 200 feet from the old we'll on
the Mitchell farm. and they got
q small we'll at 46 feet. and a.
fiow Of gas at 80 feet, but cased
both off and they are drilling on
down with the expectation of
finding the big pay sands at 400
feet.
Mr.. E. F. Crane, a well-known
race horse man and oil operator
of Elmira, New York, is heavily
interested in this property and
removed to Nashville, Tenn,
where he has established head
quarters in the Stalhman Build
ing, and this will be the office
for thia cevelopinp COMPANY.
