Oil Strike North Bench Opens New Basin Field
Reports from Basin indicate a drilling shot on the Corfield tract north of Basin caused the well to bridge at about 140 feet, with oil rising through 40 feet as cleaning proceeds. Local investors, including W Innes Paterson and J R Bond, anticipate strong flow once the bridge is removed, signaling promising oil and gas potential in the area. Two additional wells planned, with W S Bert contracted for one. A large stockholder notes heavy interest and the district shows bright prospects. Also announced is a clearance sale of player piano rolls at Knight Campbell Music Co and a community initiation and smoker scheduled for July 24 with J J M’Inerney as secretary.
