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.

Deussen and Hidden apparently don't be- lieve in my old land of Llano, but Deussen can't whence it.

All of this matter should be thoroughly gelographically. Mr. McCoy is a firm be- liever in my old eastern Texas land.
