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;. Armstrong on the 8th conces-
East.. .
