The Ohio Oil company drilled a deep well on the Smith heirs lease two miles south of town. Drilled to 2426 feet on September 14 the well showed oil and gas. It flowed about 70 barrels on first flow and may reach 100 to 200 barrels daily after cleaning. This seventh deep well in the field boosts prospects for a northeast deep-pay trend and more leases near Kansas and Grand View.
