OIL OF AN EXCELLENT
QUALITY TAKEN FROM
WELL IN SHELBY co.

Good progress is being made on the
well in Shelby county near Carlisle,
where oil is being sought, according
to P. ]. McAlpine, who has been di-
recting the drilling. About so gall
Ions of oil of an excellent quality
has been taken from the well, ac-
cording to Mr. McAlpine, but or
course this is not regarded as con-
elusive evidence of the final out
come The drilling. is financed by
Florida company and only Florida
men are Interested in the venture.
Gated is the most rugged you ever
1.-The country where the outfit is
located is the most rugged you ever
saw" said Mr.. McAlpine. TT is only
II miles from the Aldrich dome as the
crow flies, but requires trip OF ~
miles to get to it"
Mr. MeAlpine also was in charge
of the most recent drilling at Aldrich
dome. The well there was sunk 1850
feet and a flow of gas strong enough
to blow out the tools was encoun-
tered, but they have been able to stop
the flow of water. According to Mr..
McAlpine, $4,000 has been spent in
sinking this well 1850 feet through
Aldrich dome. 1t is estimated by the
owners that the expenditure of $4,000
more will determine definitely the
character of the two lower sands
which are known to exist. Whether
this will ultimately be done has never
been definitely decided
