After diligent and thorough ex-
I plorations into the depths of the
' earth, in quest of oil, the work was
: brought to a final close Tuesday
; of this week, when the two cam
i panies interested in the nroiect n-
j greed that it was useless to continue
the work further. Up to the time
the drill had reached a depth of 1600
feet, the project held some favorable
hopes that oil would be-found, but
from that depth on to the present
1SC0 feet level the drill has reached,
the prospects grew less favorable
with each day's operations. Earlv
; this week a definate form of granite
rock was encountered, which is a
fundamental basis for the belief
among all oil promoters that it is
useless to look for oil when this rock
is found in great quanity. The
drillers have been working in var
ious forms and color of this rock for
practically 260 feet, in hope that it
might prove to be a ledge or boulder
in which event, oil might yet be ob
tained. However, these hopes were
blasted by the fact that the last 18
feet of core taken out showed a
very pretty form of granite.

great aeai or interest has been cre
ated in the outcome, not only locally
but throughout the state. In fact the
state geologists have watched and
encouraged the movement, continu
ously since the first leases were ob
tained. The companies have spent
many thousand of dollars in labor,
fuel, machinery, etc., in putting the
test well down, and we believe a
fair and thorough effort has been
made to sound out the possibilities
for oil in this part of the state.
We learn that the work of dis
mantling the equipment and shipping
out will begin at once, and will re

after which Nehawka will settle
