Show SHOW FAITH IX LOCAL OIL FIELD. Faith thr.t the St. Cccrgc oil field is a potential producer is thown ,by the Escalante Explorations,, Explora-tions,, Inc., in starting new operations op-erations on the Bloomington dome. After spending many thousand dollars on the old Mid-American well, they were forced to abandon aban-don it and seek a new site, not because they felt there was no oil, but the fact that they became convinced they were not rightly located, caused them to make the decision to make the change. Many thousand dollars and much effort were spent in the operations, before the decision was made to move to 19, but nothing daunted, W. A. Ross, who hr.s had charge of local operations for the past two years, went east and secured another appropriation, in the neighborhood of $100,000, it is said, to push the new well tD completion. A high priced geologist spent two months in the field, and at the end of his work, upon his recommendation, the new well was .spotted near the apex of the dome. Ninety days should tell the story as to whether or not there is oil here. |
