Gomena which for ten days attracted tho
attention of the entire world. BY valve,
flow Of the well was stopped Saturday and
Sunday the pipe was buried beneath

arrangements TO take care of and dispose
of the immense flood OF OIL that spouts
from the gusher. just how long that
will be is question, but knowing ones
say that MANY days Will not expire before
the oil is on the market. Indeed plans
for the disposition or marketing OF the
oil from the Lucas well have become
1qnown to s'me extent, although the ulti-
mate outcome of the plans which are now
on foot ure by no means certain. The
plan is roughly 10 pipe the oil to Port

markets. The Post correspondent IS pre-
