Quincyans Drill Deep Well Near Meyer Lease for Main Pool
G A Urban and Will J Ruff of Gem City Oil plan a deep well on the Vose tract near Colmar after an eleven foot oil sand was found at 430 feet on the new Meyer lease area sold to an Ohio company for 40000 dollars. A second deeper sand shows little oil while weather and flooded creeks delayed movement. The party will shoot the new well with nitroglycerin in four to five days and then push toward the Vose tract for a producer at water depth if oil exists.
