Now these are the locations that have been made, you see, here where this is at present, see. This is the stump here, you see. There where we will find as where between 1500 to 1600 foot level, we will find the oil. Here we will have the advantage of water. With the lesser water and cave troubles in drilling, see.
2. (Q) Now this being the correct location, give us the log and the rocks and shales stating every formation, we will encounter before we will strike oil. (A) Earth and rocks, loose, you see, ten to twelve feet; shales of sand and shale to 93 feet, water, where we will case with a 110 feet of the black heavy shale and with black heavy lime and black shale and lime and shale until we have reached 240 feet, when we will have some soft shale and muck, with a good show of oil through. Through this would be shale and shale and shale and shale changing from gray and black, gray and black to 1400 feet to the heavier lime and through this we would encounter the oil.
