Medicine Hat's Gas Wells Spark Local Prosperity
The city earned the nickname born lucky after Kipling described its gas wells. 23 wells within the district produce at 480 pounds pressure, supporting a $285,000 monthly payroll across mills and elevators. Maple Leaf Company, Lake of Winds, Ogilve's, and four others drive production of 5,750 barrels daily, with more petroleum searches planned nearby.
