DRILLING FOR OIL, THEY
STRUCK GASOLINE
I eland Fountain, who is employed
in the oil field at Bixby, returned to
that place Sunday morning after a
visit in the cir.y with relatives and
friends. He said last Friday, August
151st, he assisted with the drilling in
of a well that proved to have a clear
gasoline flow of 25 barrels.
Samples of the gasoline which ap-
parently had gone thru a natural re-
tming process underground, were ta-
ken to the Prairie Oil and (ias Co. at
Tulsa for a chemical analysis, show-
ed 100 per cent gasoline. It is the
wonder of the neijthborhood around
Hixby. Fountain said persons at the
well m cars put the gasoline from the
wells in their machines and it acted
ju-t like ordinary gasoline refined in
the usual way. .
