(Teeswater News) High hopes Were held in this dis­ trict last week that this might be­ come another Turner Valley oil field —but it was another bubble that burst without even a splash. For the past few weeks drilling op­ erations have been under way on the farm of Warner Smyth, 12th conces­ sion of CulrosS, with the hope of strik­ ing either natural gas or oil. The well had been sunk only 1,000 feet when strong traces of oil were discovered. The rock brought to the surface and the drill in use was covered with the stuff. That was the first of last week, and optimists began to cheer silent­ ly—but too soon.’Drilling was contin­ ued in order that a sufficient quantity of oil would be obtainable to 'make the venture commercially cuccessful. Instead of hitting anything of value the drill operators broke through into salt, water. Straight through from here ‘they say; as 'China, so .possibly the brine was^t^e bottom of the China Seal No go, anyway, so the 1,170-foot hoje wgSyplugged and the drilling out­ fit moved to. a new site, the farm of R/ C;.
