ONE NEW WELL is IN.
Citizens Consolidated Has a Gusher After
Many DELAYS.

Beaumont, Texas. November AFTER
many long and yexatious delays the Citi-
zens' Consolidated Oil company has sue
ceeded in bringing I'm its well on block 81.
Perhaps no other well on Spindle Top has
experienced as many difficulties or given
the drlcrs as much trouble as has this
well. 1t was thought to be ready to come
in more than month ago, but pipe was
twisted of after numerous other difflcul-
ties had been surmounted. In trying to pull
this pipe the derrick was demolished, ana
il was necessary to build a new one before
the well could he completed. There was
never any question to the wells being
a guSher when the proper depth should be
reached, but the innumcrable delays taxed
tine patience of all connected with the well.
The well is reported to have been brought
in as a sixinch with a thoroughly salts
factory now. 1t is the eighty-seventh gush-
er in the field.
Evidence going to show that the pressure
under Spindle Top is not decreasing is pill
ing up every day. Lionel II. Graham, presi-
dent Of the Texas oil and Pipe Line com
pany, and Royal A. Ferris president Of the
Exchange National bank Of Dallas, who are
in the city, went out to the field this morn.

the gate valve was closed and the pres

square inch, which is the greatest pressure
