Olecanus smiting his crate that is higny the
salt, sulphur and limestone alw with the mines
to the surface. Its these salt dome that is
furnishing the 100,000,000 barrels per
year from the crestal plain. He told me
that one start to of these domes in a belt along
the shore, and then another story farther inland.
I believe he said that it is off the route belt
but is decided oil heavy.
Deussen and Hidden apparently don't be-
lieve in my old land of Llano, but Deussen
can't whence it. He says the Tertiary of
the crestal plain is at least 7000 feet thick, and
beneath this formation are the Cretaceous and probably
the Comanchian. Under this must be my old
land. All of this matter should be thoroughly
gelographically. Mr. McCoy is a firm be-
liever in my old eastern Texas land.
