Narrative

At approximately 7:20pm in the #10 entry on #2 unit the miner cut into a hole that had water coming out of it. At that time it appeared to be a bore hole. At approximately 9:45pm the section foreman went into the #10 entry and he could smell crude oil. At that time it was determined that the hole must have been an oil well.
