BEAUMONT DEVELOPMENT
TWENTY GUsHERs WE'RE BROUGHT

Five or Six Others Have Been Delayed
by Various Snecies OF Hard Luck.

mouth OF September is twenty The
August record was twcnty-thrce, and the
number brought In prior to August /, was
twenty, making a total of slXty-threc gush-
ers at the close of this month While the
list for August was larger than that for
September by three wells, the seeming de-
cline in activity is due more to the fact
that nearly all Of the September wells had
hard luck. The spouting of the Palestine
Beaumont well delayed work on several
wells for two or three days, and, besides,
threcfourths sof the wells drilled during
September encountered large bouldcrs of
rock or other causes of delay which were
very infrequent in the earlier wells. There

a rival Of the famous Spindle Top. This
opinion is not based on surface indications,
for oil has already been discovered in pay

the layman, that the prospects for fur

The Post has already contained some ref

no details have been given to the public.
Briefly stated the facts are that fine flow
Of fuel oil, similar to that found at Beau'
