MEETING OF A TEXAs OIL COMPANY
IN LONDON

The first meeting of the Beaumont (rexas)
Petroleum company has just been held In
London. This is the concern which Sc
cured the Byrd syndicate rights in the
Saratoga and Sour Lake districts. The
chair was taken by Sir Robert p. Moa.
crieffe. who informed the meeting that they
had secured 10000 acres Of land In various
parts Of Texas. Mr. c. X MacFndden. in
whom the directors had every confidence
had been appointed manager He made this
significant remark. Success depends upon
one thing In particular. namely. the stifl-
ing OF oil. Without that no management In
America. no close attention TO the affairs
Of the company In London can 40 much. -
This Is an obvious truth, Dr. Redwood
was present at the meeting and stated that
underlying the surface formation there was
large area Of productive oil property,
while not far from the land owned by the
company several gushers had been found
