Patterson Leedom have broken ground for a new rig on the Soaplat tract, located on a 45 ° line from the Oak Shade well, recently completed on the Baker. The new well is not more than 300 feet from a dry hole drilled by the same company four years ago, part of the rig of which is still standing, and the line passes within 200 feet of the dry hole. Another dry hole was drilled about 600 feet south of the big now building, by the Oak Shade oil company, about the same time that Patterson Leedom drilled their's, north of it. Pat terson Leedom drilled another cluster less than 1,000 feet north, and following the 45 ° line across the stream (Deer creek), past the old furnace and up the hill for a quarter of a mile, we find an other dry hole acarcely 800 feet south of the line, and on a till farther, a half mile or so,on the Eiseman farm, is a cluster in close proximity on the north, all of which were driled about four years ago if paying wells are found or, this special narrow line, it will be strong confirma tion of the straight line theory, though it is evident that no extensive field can be developed. The Oak Shade company will locate a couple of wells this week, and it is expected drilling will be quite active for a period in the immediate vi cinity.
