AS TO OIL WELLS

Numerous wells are being drilled
for oil in Missississippi. These
wells are being sunk in almost
every section of the state. Several
of them are down to a depth of
more than $500 feet, and drilling
is still going on. Gas. traces of oil
and actual oil, in less than paying
quantities, have been found in
three or four of them.
1t is regretable that no well has
been started In the territory near
Aberdeen. for oil will be discovered,
according to expert geological inn
yestigation, somewhere in the north
east section of the state within the
next two years. That locality first
producing oil in paying quantities
will be the FL Dorado of Mississippi.
The oil situation in this state is
worth watching, for several wells
now being drilled are down deep
into the earth, and may develop
into a gusher any day. A gentle
man just returned from trip to
Oklahoma. informed the writer that
the prairie section surrounding Alb
erdeen bears every oil mark of the
Oklahoma oil fields. Another gen.
tIeman just returned from El Dora
do, Ark. says the sandy loan and
clay soils north and east of Aber |
deem are similar in structure, for
nation and character of timber
growth to the lands near the gush-
er at Ell Dorado. Arkansas.
We believe the chance to get oil |
here is just as good as in any other
section of the state, if we will just |
go after it.
