1. GC: You have before you the lands in N. & G. N. Railroad Survey #35, landowner Emma Everett. Also the H. D. Collins Survey #36, landowner Emma Everett, in Wichita County, Texas, about 2 1/2 miles Northwest of Bacon, Texas.
You will please tell us if oil or gas will be found on these properties in paying quantities, and at what depth, and where would be the best place for a location for drilling. Also what direction from this does the trend of the production go.
2. EC: Now, we find that there may be oil found in paying quantities on portions of the property as given. We find through this section there are various producing wells to the South and East. Also to the South and West. Also farther North and West there is larger production or numbers of producing wells. In this land, as given, Emma Everett, we are speaking of, you see. In the North and East portion, or corner of section or division 36, we would find there shallow oil; that is, at a depth of 442 and 556, in the extension of this same crevice through which this oil comes. In the deeper portion we would find would be in division 35, coming then near the North and West portion of these lands. This in the North and East in 36, in North and West in 35. This we would find could be located by the surface formation in this manner: There is a ridge through a portion, and this comes on the North and East slope of this ridge. This would be in the 20 acre corner of the division 36, and in the 200 division North and West in 35. Here we will find the production at those depths will be better than 60 barrels of oil per day. In the one running 34, in the other running 89. Drill there.
3. (Q) What direction does the trend of the production go from these divisions? (A) Southeast. In this country, this district, we will find many pools of oil. These, however, we will find only come through the crevice or break caused in the Paleozoic

formation, or from deep oils, and the pools are the folds that have been made in the lower cretacebus formation, that are the storehouse or the outlet for these pressure as made in lower strata. This extends to the South and East, rising and falling, and pinched out in many places, for we find as here, in this trend, it goes in the second sub-division farther to the South and East, though tending more in the Easterly direction after leaving the division in 36.
4. (Q) Is there any other location nearby better than this one you have given to drill on? (A) The 200, as given, in 35, is the larger producing, then skipping farther to the South and East. These best in lands, as given here.
5. We are through.
