'S'OMVIE INTERESTING INFORMATION
ON. PREVIOUS OIL DRILLINGS
-•'Clinton News -Record.
Sir: -In view of the reported at-
.;• tempt to explore, by drilling, beyond
the known Onondaga formations • in
•- Iiuron County, the following. may
...prove of interest to many of your
readers, especially as over 70 years
has elapsed between the initial bor-
ings and today. However, it is a
L. curious fact how history repeats it-
• .:self.
This immediate search in Huron. is
-;not the first effort. In 1861 there
was the big oil boom in Lambton
County where oil had been found close
-to the surface,—between one hundred
• and three hundred feet. A. man dig -
aging for fresh water first noticed the
• ail seepage a few fact from the sur-
face. The discovery gave that part
• of Ontario an impetus only equalled
-by a gold discovery, and Petroleum is
•aptly nick -named "Black Gold."
The late Mr, Samuel Platt of Gode-
rich was intrigued by the discovery,
• and being of a far-seeing nature, de-
- cided to see if any oil existed near
Oodei,dch. In 1866 he formed a local
• company to drill for oil on the bank
--of Maitland River, north of Goderich.
Drilling to 686 feet without finding
s any oil (which was beyond the depth
•it had been found in Lambton), all
• of the shareholders gave up in dis-
.;gust, leaving Mr. Platt to carry on
alone;"whicli' he did ,spurred on by
'promise of a bonus from the town if
,. drilled to 1,000 feet. At 964 feet he
was rewarded by striking a bed of
r rock'salt-a substance whose presence
had not been suspected. All salt had
;'been imported from Michigan, New
York and England. A scramble fol-
lowed by the former shareholders to
'participate in this good luck as salt
In those days was worth more than
nit Thus began the Ontario salt in-
dustry, curiously enough by a mere
• flip of fortune.
Getting back to local interests and
.;perhaps one concerning Clinton very
'vitally, was the discovery, one day in
1866, by my grandfather, the lata
Henry Ransford, of oil bubbles oozing
• from bank of small creek crossing
No. 8 highway just east of Clinton.
Not knowing at that time it was
vegetable or marsh oil (an oil often
found along our rivers) he believed it.
' was Petroleum, doubtlessly intrigued!
'by the. Lambton oil wells. He gave a
eontracb to drill a deep well in the
".exact spot where the bubbles appear-
ed. What followed is well known and
"proved that the salt, discovered in
"Goderich a few weeks previously, ex-
tended eastward. The results were
'far reaching. He returned to Eng.
-:land, preparing plans for a salt re-
lining plant based upon the best -1
-known English open pan system
'which was a step ahead of the pro
-
-cess then used' in America. Thus the
Stapleton Salt ; Works, and hanmlet.
• `bearing the same name, came into ex-
• stence in 1868, continuing almost
-without interruption until 1918. Dur-
ing those fifty years approximately
half a million tons of salt were pro-
duced and sold, employing hundreds
of men. Soon other plants all over
Huron were established, opening up
the territory' asnothing else could
have as it provided work and a mar-
ket for countless thousands of cords
of wood as fuel,,es well as ready cash
when farm produce was not only dif-
ficult to raise, but of little value.
Logs were also marketable to be
manufactured into barrels, and later
the same equipment made apple bar-
, rels.
It is interesting to note how far-
reaching may be the consummation
!of a belief, coupled with action, p,ro-
dueing results undreamed of. Mother
Earth with her treasure chests. has
always been a lodestone to intrigue
and fire the imagination of men;
while Scientists tell us we have only
tapped the edge of her treasures.
In Lambton County drilling to 2092
, feet reported gas flows at 230 feet
in town of Sarnia. Petrolia has a
'recorded deep drilling to 3947 feet
to the Trenton formation, but no oil
or gas were found beyond the usual
oil well depth of 104 to 480 feet. In
Lambton salt is found at 1500 to
1600 feet which is below the gas and
oil horizons. It is interesting to note
that in Grey County, near Colling-
wood, in 1860 deposits of oil shale
were discovered and refined, produc-
ing several grades of oil. These
shales were on the surface. A drilled
well produced only gas at 150 feet,
in Trenton formations. A test well
]between Zurich and St. Joseph, in
the Hay Swamp, was unproductive.
Near Aisle. Craig in the Hamilton
formation, (which is the structure
producing the Lambton oil wells), a
small quantity of oil was found. A
drilling at Blyth gave black shales
and some gas at. 850 feet, while a
recent well in Goderich showed slight
traces of heavy oil in Hamilton for-
mations. Recorded log of drilling at
Mitchell to 2008 feet to the Niagara
limestone shows no results.
In localities where Gas, Oil and
Salt are found, the first two are al-
ways above the Onondaga,, or salt
bearing strata, usuallyin the Hamil-
ton limestone and shales.
Two curious facts indrilling the
last well at Stapleton are interest-
ing. At 680 feet the drilling tools
were highly magnetized while drilling
in hard limestone and, at 1160 feet
just above the first bed of salt, a
heavy flow of mineral water turned
the tools black. Sulphurous and Min-
eral water are found in many places
in Ontario but at shallower depths.
No drilling is recorded in this vi-
cinity lower than 15517 feet, (Code -
rich), that depth representing Soil,
Hamilton, Coniferous and Onondaga
formations.
I sincerely wish the new drilling
attempt the success it deserves.

of plant when fully grown usually is
about six niches; slightly smaller than

because of the charming colour of the

be called "Mickey Mouse". To be'
sure, its pea-green ,leaves are no
longer than mouse ears, but since
Tom Thumb is a perfect specimen of
