Observation-Disclosures Circus

There is something about the
knowledge that a circus is coming
that gives practically everyone. be it
man, woman or child, thrill" not
produced by any other attraction.
And during the past few years in
many portions of the country, there
have been movements started to
censor the moving pictures of the
drama, theres has been no cry about
censor for the big circuses. Cir
Gus men say the reason is "There is
no Hollywood among the big shows,
like the Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace"
Lovers of good clean amusement
who are also interested in the youth
Of the nation, realize that circus day
is the day of all days for young
America. Particularly is this true
when the Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace
circus, known for many generations
as peer of white top shows, makes
its coming known. The very name
is synonymous with cleanliness and
tented delight. And when the big
parade, more than mile in length
comes down the street, there is no
resisting the circus atmosphere, 1t
is just as much American. as the ma
tional pastime, baseball Red
FLOODED, and clean to the core, both
of them.
That is why, when the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus comes to GAINESVILLE,
O., for two performances on May /
it is safe to say that a majority of
the residents of this city, as well as
surrounding towns and villages will
answer the call"
Many new features, never before
offered the public, have been en-
gagged for the 1925 trans-continental
tour, and the management claims to
have the best program in the history
Of this great wild animal show.

SOME OIL AND GAS NEWS
CONCERNING THIS COUNTY

We take the following from the
GAINESVILLE Times Signal of April 10:
Edgar Miller and Wilbur Duvall
of the local Auburn automobile
agency, were notified Saturday ev-
ening that oil was struck on their
lease on the Male farm, five miles
south of Chesterhill, Morgan coun-
ty. 1t is said the we'll is now pro-
ducing between 35 and 40 barrels
day.
About five weeks ago another
well was drilled on the property and
when shot, produced on the average
of 80 barrels per day. This was
gradually decreased, however, and
the production settled down to about
20 barrels per day. Several months
ago Miller and Duvall, with Ross
Tolbert and his son, leased over 200
acres of prospective oil lands in
Morgan county, and after purchasing
their own equipment, started drill
ing. After drilling several dry
holes, the company was fortunate in
striking producer.
Mr.. Duvall stated Saturday night
that several hundred acres are now
under option by him and they will
likely be taken up in the near fu-
ture. He also stated that the com
pany will be reorganized and fur
ther developments of the territory
now owned by them and that are
now under option, will be made
as soon as new machinery can Re
placed on the property.
The biggest gas find in the Berea
sand ever known in southeastern
Ohio is being developed in the Brush
Creek township field and adjoining
properties in York township just

development of the Swingle company
and other companies in this territory
has been commented upon in these

columns before. but only recently
has it become known that there is a
real extensive gas field under way
there
The Swingle company months
ago put in a pipe line from their
property to Ironspot to supply the
Ransbottom pottery with gas, and
since then this service has been eX-
tended to other industries. These
later developments indicate that
there will be an abundant supply Of
gas for years 1t is not the inten-
ton of the company however 70
supply gas for domestic purposes,
but they will continue to furnish
industries.
AT the present time there are
nine developments in the York
township field by different com
panies and the Swingle company has
contracted for all this gas in addi-
ton to that from their own wells.
1t is estimated 100000 feet OF
gas per day was blown off into the
air from the various wells until the
Swingle company made provisions
for carrying it to the Ironspot and
Roseyille industries.
The recent strike in the Berea is
the richest found in this territory
in years Three wells have been
drilled in good for from one million
to a million and half cubic feet per
day. Two wells are ready to be
shot and will be in some time this
week. The operating companies are
now working back toward the Mus
kingum county line where there will
be further development. All the
companies operating in this terri
tory. with the exception of the
Swingle, are after oil and have dis
posed Of their gas to the SWingle
company so that the Roseville and
Ironspot industries are assured Of
a bountiful supply of gas for many
years The Swingle company also
has $500 acres of undeveloped ter
ritory under lease Immediately ad
joining the properties where gas
and oil have been found in paying
quantities.
