now enroute to this city from New

Flowing a solid stream of oil j.
feet over the top Of the 10.inch casing
for a brief period Tuesday night, the
Amerada Petroleum Company's test
near Brock marked the inauguration
OF Carter county's fourth great oil
pool of Importance, with boundaries
which promise to surpass in size the
territory now covered by the Hewitt,
Healdton and Fox pools.
Perhaps the greatest import of the
discovery is veriflcation Of the fact
that the surface of this county has
merely been scratched and that more
immense oil areas exist within its
bounds. Contemplation by many oil
men who have heretofore been absent
from this district as far as operating
here was concerned is now turned
into determination and expectation
can truly be prophesied, with refer
ence 10 the immediate future. that
derricks for tests will be up in every
corner of the county.
Large Companies Interested.
The manner in which the larger
companies, as well as the independ-
ents, are seeking acreage in the vicin.
