A tube well was being installed at the West Pakistan Government Agriculture Farm — about six miles north of here. When the tube well was put into operation yesterday, oil, instead of water, gushed out. Authorities were immediately contacted and experts were called from the Attock Oil Company.

The indications are that this is dead oil because it neither evaporates nor produces gas. The experts are expected to give their preliminary report by today.

The agricultural farm is located in the Potwar area where the Russians had predicted oil deposits.
