ANOTHER BIG WELL
Chatham, June 20th,—In 55 work
ing days, Bruette No. 5 Well, 10
miles s.w. of here, was drilled to
completion at 3290 feet, with the
last 32 feet of excellent gas and oil
pay. When this latter was first
struck, Oil came up and went over
the top of the 70 steel derrick and
has been flowing, by heads, ever
since. A 450 barrel oil tank has
been set at the Well and already
several truck loads of Oil have been
delivered from it, even before the
Well was completed.
Under present conditions, it is
flowing 100 barrels of Oil and half a
million cu feet of Gas per day.
E. P. Rowe, consulting geologist,
350 Bay St., Toronto, has now made
the location for the next Well to be
drilled at once, viz, prairie No. 8
which is directly in line with Bru
ette Nd. 5 and 2,000 feet distant,
Competent critics believe that Prai
rie No, 8' will make history in oil
production, if seven big Wells, all
producing and within a mile of it,
mean anything. All of them have
both Gas and Oil.
