On This Day | Oil Crazy Early
Author

Prospects for striking oil in paying quantities are so bright out at the Des Lacs Western oil well on the Blum farm near Des Lacs, that all stock was taken off the market the first of the week, with the exception of 3,000 shares which are being disposed at $3.00 a share. The stock had been selling at a dollar a share. There has been some little excitement this week among those who own blocks of stock and those who own property in that vicinity are wearing broad smiles this week.
