Indiana Oil Boom Gathers Momentum Indiana is fast becoming one of the largest ojl producing states of the mid-contintent area, according to the Indiana Department of Conservation. I In the department report for 1919 there wen* 156 drilling permits issued. Wells drilled numbered 130 of which 59 were dry and 45 became producing wells. | The most promising well yet completed was brought in July 14, by the Gillium Drilling Company, an independent outfit in Section 20, Linton Township, Vigo County. Experts estimate that the well will produce from two to three thousand barrels daily. Drilling opperations have started on a newly discovered oil pool near Fontanet, an abandoned coal mining area, which geologists pronounce the largest oil structure yet found in Indiana. It comprises approximately 10,000 acres. Petroleum Highlands, as it is referred to officially is located about twelve miles northeast of Terre Haute and is believed to lie the pool that fed the old Terre Haute Prox well, which produced for forty years in the heart of the downtown ' district. The rich oil structure originally located by an aerial survey, has been radarized and seizmographed by three different companies recently and is now declared by petroleum engineers to be large enough to accomodate more than 1,000 oil wells. Drive carefully always.
