The Prescott daily news., 1921-03-25

Formal announcement has been made by members of the Daniel Oil & Gas Company that the location for the Blevins test we'll No. will be made one day next week, and that immediately following the big news work will begin on the derrick which will be rushed to completion so that actual drilling can begin as soon as possible. The location of No. 1 and No. 2 were made by J. J. Victor, a noted geologist now in the lE Dorado fields and who has the reputation of having never located a dry hole. Here's hoping that he will maintain his reputation for locating oil wells.
 The Duckett No. 1 is the scene of constant activity now and very satis- factory progress is being made, al- though quite delay was experienced Tuesday and Wednesday of this week when a 33-inch rock was encountered by the drill bit on Tuesday morning about II o'clock, and after drilling about twelve hours on this boulder the bit went through to the soft for nation again. The we'll is down to a depth of about $50 feet. The forma- tions encountered in the past week are numerous streaks of rock from 510 to $50 feet depth, dry hard gum bo; six feet of shell formation. On Tuesday a considerable showing of gas was found which was very visible on the ditch and slush pit. Driller Boutee attached very little import ance to this showing, other than it indexed what was to follow.
 "Dan" Boone, one of the drillers handy assistants, has gone to his home at Kansas City for a brief visit and his place is being filled by Robin Hamilton of Prescott.
 The "bachelor quarters" of the drill ing crew at the we'll was the scene of lively and enjoyable good time last Saturday night when the drill ing boys gave party in honor of

Remarkable Belgian Gun.

One of the most curious products of the Belgian gunmakers' art, says Pop ular Mechanics Magazine, is now in the possession of Colorado sports man. This gun is remarkable for Its arrangement of seven barrels in one, the composite tube with its cluster of parallel bores being about the size of a gauge shotgun barrel. Seven .22-caliber rife cartridges are inserted In the breech openings, and fired sim ultaneously by single firing pin and hammer. The shell ejector is a re- movable disk with seven holes, which swings back when the lock is opened.

some unexplained manner, and lost
his life. His motor plunged from IN

ed. Roesel was thrown from the car
in its flight and was injured in the
head. and It is believed that he was
unconscious when he struck the wa

get to him. The car was across tho
road and facing the pond. and it IS
evident that he was trying to re-
verse his machine to turn 1t around
and sent the machine forward by
