50 Acres Sinking Into Marsh-Some of Best - Gushers Spout Salt Water - Cracks Circle Center Depression.

Beaumont. Tex. Oct. II P}-On men who honey the ground in the Sour Lake field in their greedy rush to rob the earth of its treasures stood by helplessly today as the earth sank away under their feet and giant Assure which ap- peared in the field Tuesday night continued to grow.
 The damage extended not only to the 50 odd acres which were sink ing. The natural forces under the surface which have made the wells in the district productive seemed to have been disarranged by the same readiustment that caused the Assure and production was falling of.
 Production Falls Off
 Oil men estimated today that production Of the field had been cut at least 30 per cent by the vague Ey explained phenomenon. Wells counted three days ago as good producers are flowing salt water in stead of oil. The physics of the field seemed to have been turned upside down, because a few wells increased their flow with the appearance of the sink hole.
 No one was able to predict how ieep or how wide the depression would grow Biologists were in- alned to believe that sand pockets n harder formations, washed empty hv the flow of waters, disturbed by drilling or blown out by wild wells, were collapsing under the surface.
 Three Acres Disappear
 At the center of the big crater a space of about three acres, which has dropped away faster and is much deeper than the rest of the hole, is filled with water. Cracks in the earth completely circle this deeper depression, making a rough circle with diameter of about D. 900 feet.
 The depression is in what is known as the "Shoestring section" |" which was drilled extensively early in the century. Estimates as to the depth of the crater have varied from 90 to 150 feet.
