The casing now comes to a point 23 inches from the surface and the oily liquid that looks like water is flowing over the top of it. In a few days Driller R. A. West will go deeper and ralsp the cnsln?. He believes it will flow on the suriace of the ground when this is done. The water is unfit for UBe on ac count of the great quantities of oil that come from the earth's interior with. It. This well has now been dis covered for several weeks, but the percentage of oil In the water is the same greater, if anything, today than it was when first noticed. The I Dec7Jan6 well is unquestionably a freak, as no j ULiier inuiuKiiuu ui uii lias veeii iuuiiu In that vicinity of the county. Mr. West stated today that he would com mence drilling in a few days again, for the purpose of ascertaining what will happen to the percentage of oil and the strength of the artesian flow.
