bubbling oil spring on the Pataulal
Creek is still putting forth a stroumi
of oil. During the past few davs
‘W. T. Cridelle has discovered twn‘j
other similar springs on dands near
the one located at the Cridelle mill
site.
The oil has been sent in to the
State Department and report shows
that it is oil.
An artesian well near the bub-|
bling spring was dynamiged smme!
months ago to cause a better flow
of water and it is thought that the!
shock caused the oil to come to thr.-l
top and force its way througa the
rocks.
A stock company will likely ‘'he
