tracts can be made with private hospitals
to care for the patients at dollar a

Another objection is that the attend

a big. stout, bronzed-faced man from In

that they should have sent all the way
from India to get Americans to go over
there and bore for the stun"
Steel has three men with him at the
Broadway Central hotel, and they are
under contract for three years TO drill
oil wells in the vicinity of Rangoon,
India.
ut is no easy thing to strike OIL" said
Steel 'for many obstacles are encoun-
tered at various stages of the game. "a
drller starts out with an 1S-inch bore
and the first thing he knows he strikes
water, which spurts up and bothers the
work at the surface.
Then he may find IL necessary to en-
case the well and make it a 13-inch bore
from that part farther down into the
earth.
From what I have learned. the oil in
India Is a very cheap grade. about 10
cents "A barrel. In this country the oil
I'm the west is worth about 80 cents n
barrel and there is some in the Pennsyl-
vania district OF such high grade as to
bring 81 80 a barrel.
