now serving as superintendent, will
probably be the only applicant, no
other having placed his application.

The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1903-04-16

Our good friend j. U. Bruner,
President Of the Nebraska Oil and
Fuel Co., at Beaumont, Texas, writes
us a very interesting letter OF the
conditions OF those famous oil fields.
Speaking OF Spindle Top, he writes,
'"The Gushers OF one year ago are
things of the past and some have
gone entirely out OF business, giving
only salt water. Not less than sew.
enty per cent of the first wells drilled
are failures, producing no oil. This
condition, in the opinion OF expert
enced oil men, is more the fault OF
unskilled drilling than lack OF oil.
Thelargest producing well on the hiil
gives 800 barrel a day and runs as low
as l barrel to the we'll. The amount
produced is still very large and prices
ranging from 70 to IS cents per bar
rel. The big companies are getting
possession and running 1t to their re.
fineries, six in all, which have been
built at cost Of 3h million dollars.
1t is an easy way to make money
when you get the oil, but like other
ventures, not healthy when you get
salt water. 1t is the sincere wish OF
Mr.. Burners friends here that he
strike oil instead OF salt water.
