developed.

Only a few weeks have elapsed since the
famous strikes of oil i'm the fields sur
rounding Beaumont were made, and Indi-
ana capital has gone to Texas for the de-
velopment of the field. During the last few
days capital direct from Beaumont. brought
by one who is interested in successful en-
terprises there, and who has for four years
been operating in the Corsicana field Of
Texas. has been invested for the purpose of
developing Indiana oil fields.
A few days ago Nj. NJ. Bright, represent
ing the German-American Oil Company of
Beaumont, came to Indianapolis TO confer
with John II. Davidson. of this city, who
is the local agent of the company. rela-
tive to the Texas business. He had been
four years at Corsicana, and in the develop
ment of that field acquired knowledge of
the general rules regarding the location of
oil. He became interested in the Indiana
fields, and as the result of subsequent talks
with a number Of oil men operating in the
local field he concluded that an investiga-
ton would do no harm. Yesterday. as the
result of his investigation. the transfer Of
500 acres of land i'm five separate tracts was
made to him
The land was purchased as farm land"
and at a price little above the market price
VI Siiiil Il ldIu OGlSlle Oh l0t Oi QlStIlCb.
Several men are now out making contracts
and buying other tracts. Mr.. Bright said
last night that he and his associates
already have invested $4,000 in Indiana oil
lands.
He said his judgment was that the field
had been only partially developed and that
there soon would be a scramble for oil
lands such as there was when the oil first
was discovered here. He did not think
the field as good for enormous prospective
prohtS as the Beaumont field. but he did
believe IL worthy the investment of capital.
He declined 10 give the location of the
tracts purchased. as il would tend to in
fate prices of land which may now be
bought as farm property. Ii is proposed,
after the desired lands are secured. to
promote a stock company for the further
development of the field. Associated with
Mr.. Bright i'm the work are John RI. David

company with which Mr.. Bright is connect
