Depths of wells and a strange oil tale from bygone era
A fragmented account describes a historic oil well with a makeshift tank and improvised derrick. It recounts the well’s high January production, then a drastic drop on Sundays, and oil traded at ten dollars before stabilizing to a few tenths of a dollar. The passage also touches on unrelated notes about Monaco and suicides at Monte Carlo, reflecting period gossip and civic concerns in a scattered column.
