From what biologists and experts say apd
from all the signs now Il hand and Whlcn
are of great Significance the wells at

An important factor In favor Of oil being

here In town, the well al BraZoria, both
over 1000 feet, never Went through IN
inch of rock and that the other 500 o q
encountered rock and that the well bored
by Mr. Guy NJ Bryan near Bryan Heights
did not strike the rock. As biologists now
agree that oil Is the primary consistent
OF all mineral Substances as we'll as stone,
the tnding of rock on the heights when
the county goes a long way toward prove
