OIL WELL PROSPECTS
SAID TO BE GOOD.
The' oii" drillers on the Syler
farm reached a depth of 1200
teet Sunday and suspended ope-
rations to let in more casing.
The drillers arc especially reti-
cent about the work and little or
no information can be had by
parties who.drop by at the well
and ask questions. It is known
however that the geological for-
mations passed through to date
are favorable for prospects of
an oil find and that the McGhee
interests, who own the lease and
are doing the drilling are well
pleased with the progress of the
work and the indications so
far encountered.
Should this well prove dry it
is said upon good authority that
the McGhee people will drill two
other test wells in the imme-
diate locality of the present
well before giving up operations
at that point.

Baron Reading, or Rufus Daniel Isaacs, has been Lord Chief
Justice of England since 1912. He has been referred to as “the
greatest Jew in England." He has been a member of the British
cabinet since 1912 and was given his present title five years ago.
He is .».» years old. Baron Reading was educated at Brussels, in
Hanover and at the Middle Temple, London. He was solicitor-
