Sunday’s happy ending to

months of test hole drilling
with only marginal results.
Falkenbury Drilling Com-

many sizable obstacles in
drilling their 36-inch diameter
shaft to a depth of slightly
more than 300 feet. A freak
subterranean formation had
earlier forced the drillers to
abandon another well shaft

site.
