Two oil well drilling rigs have been
shipped from Chugwater, Wyo., by the
International Underwriters Associa-
ton, and are expected to arrive in Hol-
yoke within the next few days to oper-
ate in the prospective Holyoke fields.
The company has exceptional faith in
the possibilities for finding both oil
and gas near Holyoke and are prepar-
ing to place their resources at the dis
posal Of local men in an effort to put
down several test wells on the
land around the city. Just how soon
actual work will commence is not
known at this time, but II Is expected
that in a few short weeks the drilers
will be on the ground and going down
after oil. One Of the main things that
Is holding up development Is the mat
ter Of leases, as not enough have been
secured TO insure the drilling company
that they will be protected in their OPP
erations. The search for oil and gas
