POOR OIL IN BIG eUsHER.
Analytical Test of Texas Well Product
Shows Low Quality.

Shows Low Quality.
Marietta, O., Jan. 31.-Since the
striking of the great oil gusher at
Beaumont, Texas, every oil man in the
country is anxious to know the quail
ity. The first analytical test was
completed at the local refinery last
night and shows that the oil would
not answer for lubricating fine ma
chinery but could be used in its crude
state for lubricating railroad cars and
heavy machinery. The oil is of no
value for refining purposes owing to
the absence of the light gravity dis
tillater from which Illuminating oils
are obtained.
