October
6, 1910 – While drilling a well on the premises of Carl
Lundberg in Pelican Rapids today, natural gas was struck at a depth of 100
feet. Gas comes with considerable force and burns freely when a match is
applied, the blaze rising to a height of several feet.
Similar gas was found on the Brunk farm, five miles from the village, a few years ago, but little attention was paid to it.
The latest discovery indicates that the supply underlies a wide territory and business men are very much interested.
