The discovery Of a rich oil district In
the vicinity Of Beaumont is not cause
for surprise. The southeast corner of the
state has had oil pro@pectors at work for
two or three years past and fine well
was sunk at Sour Lake some time ago,
yielding up a splendid quality and qlan-
tity OF oil.
in TACT an expert from the West yir-
GINA and Pennsylvania regions declared
that for quality there was but one other
well in the country equal to the Sour
Lake flow A small refinery was built
near the Lake and some excellent work
done, but frnm some cause the operations
were stopped aud this promising property
nov lies idle. The want OF railroad con-
neetiUls, the Sour Lake well being njne
miles from the railway and accessible
only over the worst possible dirt RIA s
may have had something 10 do with the
unpro1tableness or cessation Of opera
ttons at that point.
But the fact seemed to be clearly es-
tabllshed than that whole region covered
rich oil field.
