Tbe analysis does not prove that oil
may not he found by further drilling."
Or. olon in comment1-- tu the
analysis of the ga r.': "Personally
I w rih ii under; ji,u that I will in tbe
near future produce names and loca
tion of large producing wells, even
gushers, which were brought in imme
diately under the very kind of gas now
flowing in the E. B. U. Well .No. 1
at City Outlook at Eugene."

hundreds of wells brought in as large
prooucej-a, evnu lununii, ..-.. ..-,!.
