Enormous Oil Gusher at Callery Junction Valued at 35000
Butler reports a Callery Junction well began flowing at 300 barrels daily, later rising to over 400. Reed & Davin sold the lease to Forst Russell & Co for 35000 with 5000 paid up front and the balance due today. Legal disputes arise over title and ejectment as values surge and multiple interests clash among Gibson McBride Reed Davis and others. Local farmers and oil men anticipate the largest discovery yet in the hundred foot sand once toris are removed.
