ness are now drilling their wells so
the pipe extends just through the cap
rock. This excludes any water that
might enter from the surface, and
they have the forty foot strata of oil
to draw from.
Not 40 per cent of the wells drill
ed ever extended to the cap rock and
that is the reason there is so much
difficulty experienced there now. That
part OF Spindle Top which is most af-
fected by the water difficulty is call
ed the Hcg-Swayne district and is on
the lowest ground on the hill. 1t con-
tains about fifteen acres and there are
at least 10 wells there, not a third of
which are in operation. With some
expenditure of money, however, and
some one who understands the situa-
ton in control these wells could be
placed on paying basis and they will
doubtless be bought up and handled
by oil men soon.
What They Produce.
"The combined product of the oil
wells on Spindle Top at present is
from 10000 TO 10000 barrels day
and it is being sold as fast as it can
be produced. A good example. of the
increased demand for the oil can be
seen in the phenomenal rise in price
that has taken place lately. There
was time when oil from the Beau
mont fields was selling at three cents
a barrel, but no such conditions pre-.
vail there now.
The prices when l left We're from
40 TO 5O cents barrel and they will
doubtless go higher. Only the first of
November, oil was selling at twenty
cents barrel. SO you can see that it
has doubled itself in a month. The
cause of this is that many of the big
railroads in the south have taken to
burning oil exclusively and this Gre.
ates the enormous demand for the
product.
Another difficulty that has put
some of the companies to much trou-
Bile is that they put down too large
piping at first. Most of them were
four inches and half in diameter and
the suction was so great that it would
break the pumps. Now all of the large
companies are putting down two inch
pipes and get along without any trou-
BILE.
The property which is regarded as
spindle Top proper consists of a tract
containing little more than 300
acres, but oil has been discovered
outside of this. In Sauer Lake dis
trlct, ~ miles away, several wells are
IN operation in Jennings and other
places from 10 to 20 miles several rich
strikes have been made
The oil bushes in Beaumont is lust
settling down on a steady basis. The
promoters and spectators have lust
about finished swindling the people
and starting hot air companies and
the practical oil men are taking hold
OF the wells now and putting them on
a paying basis and the future outlook
is very bright, indeed"

Some one who is bold and has an

the county Jail, where w. It. Wilkin-
son keeps his horses, last night, and
stole therefrom about eight bales of

battered down and an entrance gained

of the robbers, and Mr.. Wilkinson did
not know of his loss until this morn
ing. Hay at 80 cents per hundred

A Suggestion of keb Coal Miner.


AS the u M. w. of A. in district No.
10 are called anarchists as well as
those farther east by the coal opera
tors | think we should make some
show of defense. l believe we could
make some stir by having the opera
tors send representative out of their
number before the coal commission in
the anthracite field and state to them
how tremendously the operators and
miners are pulling together in district
IL and present our scale to them for
inspection and also send one of our
own men there as well. We ought to
make this the fight Of our life We
should strain every muscle to estab-
fish our right, as it is as good cause
as We could protect and as honorable
as any That is proven from the fact
that We have enlisted public sympathy
all over the world, and why should we
allow those operators to dawdle along
and delay settlement in order to get
time to try some other scheme? Let
us have settlement now.

Editor Courier: In behalf of the far
mer debaters of the Reveal school we
wish to correct a few errors which APP
peared in Saturdays issue of the Cou-
rier, in which it stated we had chal-
| lenged the Mckinley debating society
to discussion. This is misstate-
ment. We We're challenged by the
Mckinley society. Also in reference
to statement concerning the judges,
| which read, Bruce Minear the
| assistant secretary of the Y. M. G. A.,
Mr.. Dinwiddies father-in-law and an
other Ian, a farmer living in the
neighborhood," would appear to leave
the impression with the readers that
in the choice of judges the boys re-
| ceived the worst of it. In reply to this
we want to say that Mr.. Minear was
brought out from the city by them as
| their judge; also that they chose
Steve Buckner of Fairview, whose son
is student in the high school and
member of the Mckinley debating So
ciety.
In the absence of the lady whom we
had selected to act as our judge Mr..
Cotton, who is Mr.. Dinwiddie's father
in-law (and objected to by us for that
reason), was chosen third judge on
the suggestion of Mr. West.
! There were other minor misstate-
ments and insinuations that would in
dictate on the part of the writer of the
article either an ignorance of the pro-
ceedings or an intentional misrepre-
sentation Of them.
How the writer managed to state
correctly the question for discussion
and the decision of the judges we do
nos understand.
