is now making more oil and less
salt water than it aid for several
weeks after being connected with
the tanks. For time it was doing
about half oil and half salt water.

that when properly cleaned and put
on the pump, the we'll should make
80 barrels day or better. Mr..
Hughes and Mr. Stroup visited the
well yesterday, but nothing was an
pounced today as to results of t,ie
Investigation.
