Gas on Squaw Greek.

Talking about oil and ga4 in Cen
county, Indications a-plenty are com
ing to light. One Of them is in q
well drilled number Of years ago by
Harry Hamilton on his ranch near
Sweet. The well was sunk about 400
feet. Gas poured from the well and
in such proportions as to occasionally
shoot water out of the well casing as
high as the derrick. Drilling was
stopped when hard shale was struck
as the equipment was not strong
enough to continue farther.
