He hasbeen able to supply much valuable information, particularly in in-terpreting the production records of that time. The water line of 1908 was taken as the original line becausepresence of the edge water was first established in that year. Thisline was, in general, determined by liberal interpretation of thefollowing facts: The first well that proved this water in the originaldrilling seems to have been well 8 on section 34. ISIr.
