Sal. in oil We'll

While drilling a test wen tDr Osi upon the Turkey Track Ranch near Spearman, Texas, ". Scott Hey wood and associates discovered c deposit of salt which is Ill feet thtck This salt strata was encountered ct a depth of 1000 feet and what b said to be the most remarkable thnng about 1t is that no water was eA- countered. Neither has there been any water found any where else in ths well, which Is now at a depth of more than 2.7o0 feet. The fact tAak there Is no water above the salt bsa makes the mining of the peodueE very easyit is said.
 Mir. Heywood says that in Svuat oil is not struck in the well hs Un take steps to mine the salt on An Ng- tensive scale. He plans to sink HnAtla and block out the salt in its natiVs form. Of the many wells that hane been drilled in the Panhandle e of Texas in the last two yeark tnAs is the first one that did not encoUa- ] ter water above the 7oo.feot lsvui. Several of these wells pasoo4 ! through salt beds but they wefe Ov- verlaid with water, which made ths miningof the product out of the O- ton, 1t is explained.
