PROBLEM SOLVED FOR MONT. GoMERY COMPANY.

 Yesterday.

George B. Mechem, senior member of . well known firm of New York capitai- ists was entertained at dinner given at Fleming's restaurant yesterday after. noon by the members of the Board of Directors of the Montgomery and Neches River oh Company of which Phares Cole man of Montgomery, Is President. NIT. Mechem is stockholder Tn the com, pany and spent yesterday in Montgomery en route from Beaumont. Texas, to New York.
 Several prominent Montgomerians con- stitute the Board of Directors Of the Montgomery and Neches River oil Com pany, which recently struck a gusher on Spindle Top Heights near Beaumont, and he stopped here to have conference with the local capitalists concerning the marketing of the oik
 In an interview MT. Mechem talked in- terestingiy about Beaumont and the de. velopment of the oil region. He said there could be no doubt about the per manency of the oil development, and that it would revolutionize the question: of fuel throughout the manufacturing world. Mir. Mechem said that at the present time the only question as to the success of any of the companies which own gush- CTS on Spindle Top Heights was the mar, keting of the oil; and that he was glad to state that this problem had been solved for the companies in which he was in- terested, inasmuch as he had success fully organized in New York City large transportation company fer the purpose of putting this oil upon the market. He further said that 1t was source of es- pecial qualification to him that the Mont gomery and Neches River oil Company was to be one of the principal benef1ci- aries of his new enterprise, and that they would have no trouble in disposng of all of their oil, and he believed they would yoon be on large dividend paying basis.
 It is said that while Mir. Mechem was here another large oil company owning a gusher on Spindle Top Heights was or- Yanized and would be ready for business within a few weeks.
 MT. Mechem is accompanied by Mrs. Mechem, a bride of four weeks. They will leave for New York this morning.

New Gusher Brought in Near Spin

Beaumont. Tex, Jan. 15.-One of the most important developments recently Is the coming in of a new gusher which Is not on Spindle Top Heights. It is loo feet from the hill and 199 feet to the nearest well. and is in a territory where two or three 'gassers' have failed so far to develop into oil gushers. There was much doubt as to whether the company would f4nd oil until the black grease showed up in a strong and steady flow. The new well adds at least thirty acres of land to the proven field.
