NEW' OIL FIELD IN ONTARIO ' Dutton, Ont. June 15.—Dreams,of' untold wealth from great oil wells have been started in this 'district with the blowing of a well with a flow of about 100 barrels' per day, on the farm of Geo. Hatton, on the fourth concession of Dunwich Town- ship, about three and a half miles from Dutton. The„ -,big well is the result of an investigation and dril- ling activities for three yearson the part of the Peace River Drainage De- veloping Company, which has a lease on 15,000 acres in_ the immediate vicinity where the large flow of oil was struck. One of the ren`iarkable features of the strike is the fact that the well was only drilled to a depth, of 375 feet and had just entered the rock when the well -blew. With the blowing of the well residents ofthe district, have visions of the develop- ment of a great oil field in the dis- trict.
