Fortune smiles at last for West Virginia oilman Ferguson
Pittsburg trader Cy Ferguson long mocked as the King of Hard Luck Operators has finally hit oil riches. Four Standard Oil representatives offered 1.5 million dollars for his holdings, but he refused, believing the wells are worth double that. Ferguson, a McDonald Pennsylvania butcher, spent years drilling dry holes before discovering success in the Follawsbee field near the West Virginia line. He has sold some smaller wells but retains the best, now worth several millions.
