Started Below the Concrete Plug at Three O'clock Yester day Morning Drilling at the Fat Elk well, which was suspended several weeks ago, was resumed at three o’clock . yesterday morning, and operations are now be ing earriad on 24 hour* a day. The ^installation of the six-inch casing was completed Wednesday evening, after the concrete plug at the bot tom had been drilled through earlier in the week. Indications of both oil and gaa were just as favorable when drilling was resumed a* they were when the cav ity was first plugged some two months ago. There was gas pressure ' in the well and the bottom of the concrete plug was greasy when it had been broken up anr* bailed out The Sentinel does not intend to make predictions of any kind, but it wHl not be surprised at any time now to bear that an oil sand has been penetrated. Scores of cars were driven over to the well yesterday and hundreds of visitor« have been over to watch oper ations this week. J. J. Jnteey, secretary-treasurer of the Coast Oil Co., who cams down from Portland last week, will remain at the camp for a part of the time at least. For several days he was working at the well and is now in charge of the office which has just been finished. Hooper C. Dunbar, president of the Belleview Oil Co., of southern Cali fornia, left yesterday noon for Lol Angeles, leaving a request for wire notice as to developments. He ex pects to return later. As a safety measure the officials of the company say that it may be neces sary very soon to refuse admission to visitors. Heretofore every one has been welcome to visit the well, and it will only be because of the need to protect the property that the rule may be changed anff all viskora for- .

And everything grown or pro duced in the two counties will be shown to a certain degree. There 1* also the entertainment side of a show of this kind, whose enjoy ment furnishes a relaxation from the daily business grind, and theee fea tures form a very agreeable addition to the more serious agricultural and manufacturing displays. Horse racing is one of these fea tures and the fair this year is assured of a large number of race horses than for many years. Carnival booths, ride* on all kinds of novel equipment, bicycle races, greased pig contests are but a few of the many entertainment features included on the program. There will also be a dance at The Oaks on Thursady, Friday and Saturday evenings, music to be furnished by the Silver Spray orchestra.
