More Excitement Now Than
in 1903 or 1917, Old
Timers Assert.

On account of frozen 2-inch
water main, operators of the AM
crada are unable to drill in their
well near Brock this afternoon.
Repairs are being made 10 the
line and II is believed the well
win be drilled in Friday morning.
The Sinclair Oil Purchasing Com.

connect with the well. They have
already erected storage tank to
take care of the oil until the line
is complete.

Vice president and general manager
Of the Amerada Petroleum Company,
whose presence was being awaited
preparatory TO drilling in the com
pany's test in section 20, 5s.le, ar.
rived here early this morning and
Immediately left for the location.
Operations on the test We're delayed
on account of shortage Of water.
Excitement Surger On.
The excitement of the boom created
by the Amerada discovery In the Brock
district is still surgjng on the tide
of the golden fluid with all sails set
as evidenced by the continued milling
of the traders, producers. and mem
bcrs OF the other branches Of the
petroleum industry on the streets OF
the city and the hotel lobbies, with
the Hotel Ardmore as tho chief gath.
ering point: Old timers who were
here during the Hcaldton and Hewitt
boom days do not hesitate To state
that the interest displayed in the lat.

existed in 1913 and 1917. The rapidity
In which acreage is changing hands
and the record prices being paid, they
say. surpasscs all previous dealings
of similar nature.
Chief topic of discussion last night
was estimate of the production which
the well might produce after being
drilled in and the same enchantment

Purchasers of acreage last night
turned their attention from locations
northwest and southeast OF the well 10
territory lying north, northeast, south,
southwest and west. as well as the
other directions. Acreage in all d.
rections from the well Is bringing
high prices. with very little close.in
stuff available for purchase at the
present time.
