Big Gasser Blows In Near Denison
A gas well six miles northwest of Denison, Simpson Fell on the Wall farm, blew in at 1 05 this morning with an estimated 15 000 000 feet of gas. Fire and risk were averted as crews secured the site and waited for a control valve from Ardmore. Prominent oil men expect the field will yield heavier flows as sands were only lightly penetrated and the well started in June by Fleming Hardesty Elliott.
