Indications for oil are getting better dally, and aalong aa the aldea of tha well hold up there will be no atop to push down the casing. In case a pay ing flow of oil la atruck there will be a atop made to ahut off the water.

P eople liv ing near the well are taking more and more Interest ttaHy, and if oil la atmck In paying quantHlea half of the popu lation will be at tbe well aide about aa soon as the oil can force ita way to the surface.
