S-inch well down to the oil, and is
therefore one of the largest wells on
the hill, there ing only two or three
other S-inch wells on the hill.
This well threw out beautiful mug
get of crystallized sulphur weighing
two pounds. This, with the crystal
formation in the rocks shows that
there is cavernous formation under
Spindle Top.
u. The German American company is
also working in the Corsicana field,
where it has seven producing wells.
The Houston Beaumont Oil company
brought in a splendid gusher late this
afternoon The flow of oil, which was
allowed to escape through horizontal
pipe, was tremendous, tearing loose
one joint of the horizontal pipe and
throwing it aside. The action of this
well showed conclusively that the pres

According to what may be termed
