HATFIELD OIL CO.
STRIKES GAS FLOW
LOCAL OIL CONCERN DRILLING on
EIGHT Mile LAKE STRUC-
TURE ENCOUNTERS GAS

A strong flow of wet gas was en-
countered last Monday morning by
the Hatfield Oil Company in their
well now being drilled eleven miles
southwest of this city.
The gas bearing sands were tap
ped at a depth OF IT'S feet.
Those who are acquainted with
the log of the gas well drilled near
tho present Gene of drilling opera
tons several years & say that the
striking of gas at a depth of slightly
more than 700 feet indicates that the
present well is being drilled at least
500 feet higher up on the structure.
The Hatfield OIL Company is al
most entirely a local concern, the
majority of the stock having been
sold in small and medium sized
blocks to citizens of this community.
Ecforo selecting the location for the
well on the Eight Mile Lake Struc-
ture the directors of the company
secured the services of one OF the
best known biologists In the country
n his report was so favorable that
the company refused to consider a
number of attractive offers made by
large oil corporations Interested In
the structure.
The Hatfield people have protected
Themselves well in the way OF acre
K adjoining the present location
having acquired a total of more thar
1900 acres OF prospective oil lands
In order that there be nc costly
delays in drilling operations the
Hatfield OIL Company purchased only
new materials for the drilling of the
welt and are now fully prepared to
drill the $500 or 1000 feet neces-
sary before penetrating tho Dakota
sands.
