Show because ( he 'lie lie ) did not make ( 7G2 762 ) the ( pipe-line pipeline ) survey ; ( lie 'he he ) made a ( reconnaissance reconuaissance ) survey . ( R . 2934 . ) He did not state that the ( pipe-line pipeline ) survey was substantially identical with the reconnaissance survey but meant it would be in about the same country . ( R . 2935 . ) The red marks on ( Complainant's Complainants Complainant ) Exhibit No . 462 were put on for the purpose of estimating the cost of the road and the estimate was made from data , collected by him in ( February FebruaTy ) and March , 1926 .

No . 462 was made before the survey made by him , in order to avoid a filing in the Land Office . There was no actual ( pipe-lane pipelane pipe-line pipeline ) survey ever made so far as he knows . ( R . 2939 . ) In referring to sketch for the pipe line , he refers to ( Complainant's Complainants ) Exhibit No . 461 , termed reconnaissance for pipe line , and it was thought to be quite important to determine as to whether it was practicable to get a pipe line out of the country . Heavy material had been taken down [ the river ] for the purpose of drilling the initial ( well -well well ) only . ( R . 2940 . ) The initial well or discovery ( well -well well ) is known as No .

At that time there was sufficient indications to warrant making a test for oil , and enough ( assur assur- assur ) ¬ ance for speculation , as to the tonnage necessary for a producing field . Computations were made as to how ( many inany ) boats would be needed to take care of the situation , for the ( purpose p-urpose purpose ) of a . comparison with other methods of transportation .
