Oil and gas prospecting ends in Iowa with losses
Three attempts to find oil or gas in Iowa yielded little. In Louisa county near Letts a company closed after spending about 6000 dollars prospecting. Fredericksburg field in Bremer county produced nothing. The Sa county company and Angus coal region boreholes failed, and the state geological department remains convinced prospecting for gas or oil in Iowa is a waste of money.
