agreement existing between certain rail-
roads of the United States and the Pa

The county treasurer's Office is expert

upon real estate. This rate is consider

In the First. Seventh Ninth Tenth

concerning the Beaumont field. Last
fall c. +. z. Caracristi, scientist and
oil expert, made the prediction that
10, 900, 600 barrels would beothe ulti-
mate production of the Spindle Top
wells. More than | | 900, 600 barrels
of oil have already been drawn from
the wells, and even now well occas-
ionally breaks something and runs
wild.
Even if the gas should become en-
hausted until it will not cause the oil
to flow, the wells will produce for
years all the oil that can be pumped
from them; at least, that is the belief
OF even the most conservative oil
men.
Oil men who saw a recent test OF

Sour Lake say that the well did much
better than at the former tests.
