With Casing Now Restirg
on Rock Work is Progressing More Rapidly.
(By H. B. Johnson)
In the midst of a dense thicket of
scrub oak, aspen and ibirch, a
powerful gas engine is laboring away
twenty- four hours of each day, .forcing a large drill deeper and deeper
into the earth in quest of oil.,
This well, located about three
quarters of a mile from Lost Lake,
and accessable only over trails that
.vind around among the trees, is
strictly a wildcat proposition, as it is
many miles distant from any producing oil well.
It is being drilled by the Decern Development Company of West Virginia,
and the work is in charge of Braden
and Foa-tney, who have had many
years of experience in oil well drilling, but who confessed to a new experience when they came to this location and cut the trees, swamped
the brush and cut a trail through the
forest for their trucks.
The casing is now down to a depth
of five hundred feet, • but this depth
appear in our next issue.
