the statement of Mr.. John ID, Mott,

tendent OF the well and ! was general
foreman from the beginning, ! began
with the first work and remained un.

to prove the presence both OF natural
gas and oil.
The well is about six miles, almost
due north Of Santa Rosa on the pub
lie domain.
We struck good, pure. clear soft
water at about $50 feet. which con-
tinued so down until we reached
about 1000 feet. when the water be-
come salty, and as we continued, the
salty condition increased To such an
extent that when we reached the
depth of 1900 feet the water was so
salty that II could not be used for
any purpose. It was Just like salt
water from the ocean, or worse.
AT about 1000 feet suddenly we
struck a cavity In the earth where
there was no obstruction to the drill
and II fell a distance of seven to ten
feet and apparently reached q great
body of sab water In a cavity In the
earth. AT this point all engaged IN
the work, became satisfied that this
saln water was in 4 current, Flowing
southwest. When we let the tools
down into this body of water, they
| would drift as If carried by a cur

rection from the Rio Pecos at tina;
place. We must then have been 500
feet below the bottom Of the river
We went on down below this cavity
through solid rock about 200 fee,
more when the work stopped and has
not been resumed.
We began finding gas at 600 to 1O'
feet in such quantities that it would
ignite and burn. The further we wen,
the more the gas increased, but a
