The TALES you probably never heard about

ABANDONED WELL

[Welland Telegraph, 6 February 1891]

At a depth of 810 feet, drilling at the Mutual Company’s well was abandoned on Wednesday, after finding but very little gas to increase the flow. Good judges estimate that the product is about sufficient to feed 50 stores, and if it proves so it will be connected with the pipe line. Much disappointment is expressed at the comparative failure of the well, when good indications seemed to promise better results. The company, however, are not discouraged, as there is sufficient evidence that there is plenty of gas in the neighborhood which can be had if a hole is only made in the right spot.
