More Oil Prospectors.

S. S. Langabagh, representing the L. G. Neely A Co., oil well people of St. Marys, Ohio, was here Thursday looking over the Jasper county oil field. Mr. Langabaeh visited the oil wells in Gilliam tp., and thinks there is oil here in paying quantities. One well with a small pump had yielded 72 barrels in five days. He is very favorably impressed with the oil prospects hereabouts and his company, now owning about 400 wells in Ohio and Indiana, sent him here on purpose to investigate the prospects. He expects to return the first of next week and will proceed to lease land for oil purposes, after which his company expects to put down several wells.
