TO SINK WELL AT BRISTOL.
Oklahonla-TeNas Development Com
pany Making Active Prepare
tons to Sink First Well.

Mr.. c. c. Truitt was over from
Waxahachie Wednesday in the inter
est of the Bristol oil proposition.
1t was learned from Mr. Truitt
that the Oklahoma-TeXas Develop
ment company will make Waxaha-
chic temporary headquarters for
carrying on the work at Bristol I'M
til their first well is under way The
company has already bought out
right every acre of land for sale in
the neighborhood of this prospec-
tive we'll, and Mr. Truitt will lease
everything available between Bris-
toll and the Trinity river Some OF
the land, however, has already been
leased and is being leased by other
interests.
From the best information OBJ
tainable there is no reason why an
oil field should not be brought in at
Bristol Oil soaps and natural gas
have already been discovered, the
most reliable indications known to
oil experts. More than this, the cas-
tern section of the county is on
true north and south course with
Corsicana and Tulsa, Oklahoma,
course that oil is believed to fol-
low throughout Texas and Oklaho-
ma. The line has been surveyed
throughout the greater portion of
Texas and tests are being made
where surface indications are best.
Oil has been traced along this line
over half way from Corsieana TO
Bristol, and that another pool under

tye is a certainty in the minds OF
those who have taken time to inves- |
