Oil Rig near Garfield Eyes Trenton Rock at 1550 Feet
The Crawfordsville Review reports a diamond drill near Garfield on Willard Craig’s farm, part of a 4,000 acre Darlington lease. A 12 inch hole, 70 foot derrick, and 40 HP engine drive a 20 foot daily progress as Wade leads the afternoon shift. If water stays away, Trenton rock at about 1550 feet will reveal oil prospects and a boom or not.
