Show Prommel- D 999 Now, in that connection did you take into consideration that it would be necessary to get casing, tools, and so forth, in there to drill that well? Yes. What was the result of your investigation in that respect? MR. FARNSWORTH: We object to that as irrelevant and immaterial. THE SPECIAL MASTER: I think it may be admitted. BY MR. BLACKMAR; Go ahead, Mr. Prommel. MR. FARNSWORTH: Exception. The first oil site was located on the east side of the river. We had figured somewhat on a wagon road -- on the possibility of a wagon road down King's Bottom, and thence up, following Kane Springs canyon to the Kane Springs amphitheater. The divide between Kane Springs canyon and the Colorado river at one place there is very narrow. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Very what? Very narrow. We had concluded we could drive a short tunnel through that divide and overcome the seven hundred foot climb we could have to make with a wagon road over that divide. We from there cold follow the bench of the Shafer limestone down to the Colorado river and thence to the well location. 2969 |
