Article Text: Prestonsburg, March 3.--For several weeks oil prospectors have been busy on Beaver Creek, this county. Yesterday they struck oil in paying quantities at a depth of 300 feet. Additional wells will be sank as rapidly as possible, and a great deal of money is likely to come into the county at once to develop the promising oil fields. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ KY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
