First shipment of oil froIi the field
southeast Of Gambler was made to-
day through the new pipe line laid by
the Buckeye Pipe Line Co.
The line is six miles long, from the
wells drilled by +. Marion Snyder, Az
miles southeast OF Gambler, to east
of Bladensburg. The initial shipment
was 300 barrels. The line which was
completed but Monday cost approx.
mately $4,000.
Oil men are watching the develope-
ment Of the Knox county field with
considerable interest. II wells now
being drilled show up as well as those
now being operated there is strong
reason that the number of operators
in the field will increase in even
greater proportion.
At,least one firm of independent op-
orators from Kentucky is on the
ground and have been getting busy
taking block of leases and are max
ing preparations to begin operations
within short time.
Snyder, who was first in the field,
is pumping two wells and is drilling
his third, which is No. on the Will
liam Hancock farm. Monday night
the drill was down some 600 feet and
was expected to reach the Berea oil
sand by Wednesday. If the we'll comes
in as expected on Wednesday and it's
showing justifies it will be shot
Thursday.
Drilling in this territory is shallow,
around 700 feet, but experienced oil
men are ready to stake their reputa.
tions upon the statement that the
Knox county field is the most promis-
ing in its prospects of any lately de.
veloped in Ohio.
Snyder brought in his first we'll ear
ly in the winter and Immediately put
down a second and started the third
which is about to come in. The two
wells now pumping never have been
fully tested to their daily capacity.
Phe oil grades as Corning oil but is
said to be really better than Corning.
The Verno Oil Co., of Mt. Vernon,
is drilling its No. / on the Ullery
farm, IL miles north of the Snyder
outfit. The drillers are about ready
to start casing.
The Prue Oil & Gas Co. have made
location on the w. p. Bebout farm,
one mile south of the Snyder rig on
the Hancock farm. Berney & Stevens
are moving rig to the Marvin Dud-
geon farm, 2A miles west of the Han.
cock farm.
There is quite bit of activity In
going after Unbiased territory with
some farmers showing a disposition
to drive rather sharp bargains. Those
who are disposed to be reasonable and
fair are finding the operators dispos
ed to meet them more than half way
