PORTLAND SEES BIG MS BOOM Well Shot Yesterday Will Yield Half Million Cubic Feet Is Estimated Portland has been excited several times recently over new oil wells which gave promise of starting an ] old-fashioned oil boom there, and now , conies a natural gas boom. The following account of a well shot yesterday appeared in the Portland Com-mercial-Reviev/ yesterday evening: i “The days of the old natural gas may be back again in Portland following the shooting today of a gas well on the Miniks farm near Liber, two miles south of here, which is estimated will yield a half million cubic feet of gas per day, and may even go a million feet, “The well was shot by Fred Ewry after being drilled by F. J. Kenyon. Many Portland people are financially interested in the well. The pressure showed strong when the well was shot with a hundred quarts of nitroglycerene and the greatest of optimistic predictions are being made. “Arrangements are under way to begin drilling several more wells in that territory, and two thousand acres , of land in the Liber vicinity are under lease. i “If several wells of this caliber can be obtained, it is predicted that a gas boom will again be near. Even I conservatively speaking it is said | that three wells of the caliber of the one shot today would amply supply all Portland with natural gas and give the wells a long life. “While this well would have an estimated yield of half a million feet oi gas per day, it is predicted that it would not be forced that much in order to lengthen the life of the yield. - , Redkey Banks To Be Consolidated Soon Redkey, Ind., Aug. 10—Thomas W. i Harr, deputy bank commissioner, in a statement last evening, said: “I am free to state that the Hank of Redkey and the Farmers Slate Hank, both of Redkey, will be consolidated and operated under the new name, known as the Union State Bank of Redkey, which will be open for business on Saturday, August 18.
