1. GC: You will have before you the following Sections, Township, and Range, in Florida. You will tell us if oil will be located on any of these, and if so give the location on one of these as the best for the production of oil. If not, tell us where would be the place to locate for the production of oil.
You will have Sections 19, 30, 31, 6, 7, 9, and 4, in Range 34 South, and Township 54 East. Also Sections 18, 19, 30, 32, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, in Range 34 South, Township 55 East. Also Sections 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, in Range 34 South, Township 56 East. Also East half Sections 24, 25, and 36, in Range 33 South, Township 54 East. Also East one-half Section of 1, 12, 13, 24, 25, and 36, in Range 33 South, Township 55 East.
2. EC: Yes, we have township, range, and section, as are given here.
3. Rather, for the location and for the obtaining of production, would we give that as radiating from this as the center; for, as has been given, the larger pool in this portion of the country will be located in that formation where trap has held the oil, and the shape of this is almost the shape of a horseshoe, or following the general contour of this peninsular, extending farther up the west coast of the peninsular, and in the turn rather of same higher up the state. The range of the pool will be found to be some seven to ten (7 to 10) miles across in the end farthest south, and extending toward the east to some edge of the middle sectors of Dade County, tending toward the west, across the edge of Dade and up through adjoining counties to the upper portion of that as located. This, then, being near the center, and radiating some seven (7) miles, either way, turning toward the north and east on the east side, and toward the north and west from the west side. The specific location being on the upper or northern side of the anticline formed, and on edge of pool; being sufficiently over pool, however, to gain the better access to same - but in the southwest quarter of

the northwest quarter of Section 19, Township 52 South, Range 35 East. See? Here we would find this:
4. For the first ninety (90) feet principally muck, and gradually changing to the formations of the animal turned in stone. Then some formation of the delta nature, turning to the gray-blue shale in the two hundred to two hundred fifty (200 to 250) feet, and necessary drilling with that of the rotary rigs, and continuing much with this, with slight changes, to that depth of about fourteen seventy-five (1475). Then the hard lime, encountering many showings of oil, reaching large production in eighteen seventy-five to thirty-two hundred (1875 to 3200) feet. This varying according to the locations in the various positions along this anticlinal line, extending in this shape. In the specific location, large production in eighteen seventy-five to twenty-two hundred (1875 to 2200) being a deep heavy sand; not the highest grade of oil, but an extra gas grade, see?
5. We are through with this reading.
