LARGEST OIL WELL IN
STATE DRILLED IN SOUTH
OF CLARE LAST WEEK
®r-
Verette  Well in Vernon
Township Quickly Overflows Tankage
Test Shows New Well Flowing
210 Barrels Every Sixteen
Minutes
The largest oil Avell yet discovered
in Michigan was drilled in last Aveek
Thursday afternoon on the Verette
lease four -miles south and one east
of Clare. The Avell, OAvned by the Mammoth Oil Corp. possesses an enormous steady pressure and in a test taken several hours after being drilled in
shOAved t;;at the Avell had a capacity
flow of 210 barrels In sixteen minutes
or over 19,000 barrels.per day.
.Officials expect that the floAv of this
well will subside considerably when it
settles down and is thought that the
capacity Avill then be in the neighborhood of 10,000 barrels. It is situated
nearly one-half mile due east of the
Mellon-rollock Stougli No. 1, Avhich
was brought In last Aveek with floAv
of over bOO barrels. OAvners of this
Well .ire contemplating drilling deeper in an effort to increase the iIoav-
age, as the Avell is said to be in only
six inches in the Dundee.
Available tankage at the Verette
well Avas-.quickly filled by the enormous flow and it Avas necessary to construct a large pit for the ovei: flOAv.
Gas and oil fog was in the air in
every direction and presented a very
grave condition in case ,a spark
originated on the grounds. Six State
(Police were-secured, and patrolled the
"grounds for many hours as a precaution against any conflagration.
Workmen for ihe Pure Oil Co,
-worked all night in an effort to run
a pipeline from the Avell to their
pnmping station one mile to the Avest,
but hundreds Of barrels of oil hart
been shot Into the air and to the pit
before this Avas accomplished.
The Mammoth Oil Qorp. have already
commenced the construction of a derrick to the north of the present well,
while derricks for offsets on tho
gtough, House and Slentz farms are
being erected. It is stated that locations fcr twelve other Avells have
been spotted.
• The "Currie Avell, Avhich struck an
exceedingly high grade of oil when
they had drilled into the Dundee a
ishort distance last week Thursday
was declared .dry after drillers had
penetrated tin? full depth of the Dundee without securing su'Iicient quantity. It has been stated that other
tests Avill be made in this vicinity in
the near future.-

In all ages the term "golden" indl-j

truly said of Mr. and Mrs. Amos H.

of Clare, that their -fiftieth wedding
anniversary, which occurred on Sat-*
urday, August 6th, "Was a golden;
event crowning a, halt century of

have been their pleasure and good
fortune during this partnership ofj
usefulness that is now golden in their

this happy father ahd mother may
