Strikes Gas On Hauser Farm Near New Richmond
Last week, L R Fiscus and crew drilled a well 2 1/2 miles below New Richmond on the J W Hauser farm. A strong natural gas vein was struck at 252 feet, halting further work while attempting to cap the well and utilize the gas. Tools weighing 120 pounds were placed over the mouth but did not stop the gas. Clermont county soil holds oils and diamonds, suggesting possible petroleum deposits in lower strata. Mr Hauserman, long in the Philippines for gold mining, has returned to the United States and is now in California. He is expected back soon.
