Beaumont Is not ln It ns an oil field with Damon Mound In a letter received
0 a few days ago by the cxciutors of the Wisdom estate Captain Lucas says I

0 nnd my conviction becomes stronger every day that I was right In my first decla
a ration thnt Damon Mound Is the greatest oil field on earth These are the ex
pirs > lons of three of the best posted men In this whole country Prof Hills ex m
a pfes lons being by actions which In this case are cortilnlv louder than words
But It would be oasy to got a like expression from a hnlf dozen or more of oth
crs who arc recognized as authority ln the geological world and especially
J In the oil fields nnd whoso expression should nnd docs carry J
great weight with them At n depth of about 450 feet a flow of
oil was sttiiek In the Wisdom well No 1 sufficiently strong to fiorv out nt tho
e top of the pipe This flow was variously estimated at from 100 io 210 barrels
per day At the Beatty well last week at nbout the snme depth the same flow of
s oil was struck and the flowing of oil from this well has been witnessed by hun-
dreds of people The well Is now being balled out to test the cnpacltv of the 5
o well and the quality ot the oil boloie drilling deeper WI dom well No 2 on o
