 Coming into the postoffice with it, he asked the postmaster to smell the contents of the bottle. The latter declared it to be crude oil. Murphy departed for Anchorage and when he returned he told the postmaster that the scum from that well was only the drippings from the slabs of bacon that were hung in the well for preservation.
 Later on, Bergstrom moved across the river as he could not use the well water.
