(Original Caption) 8/2/28-Winkler County, Texas- This gusher, accepted to be the largest in the United States, was brought in by the Skelly Oil Company of Tulsa, OK, in its new field in Winkler County, TX. The day the well blew in, oil flowed at the rate of 900 barrels an hour, finally advancing to 1,200 barrels an hour. It is roughly estimated that the well is worth $20,000 a day.
