GKN: Now, Mr. Cayce, you have before you the property
of Col. [
3899], of Palatka, County of Putnam, State of
Florida, described as follows:
Lots #1 and #2, and the fractional W1/2 of Section 25, and
W1/2 of NE1/4 of Section 25, in Township 9 South, Range 27
East, containing 235.95 acres. And S1/2 of SW1/4 of Section
24, Township 9 South, Range 27 East, containing 80 acres.
The whole number of acres aggregating 543.72.
Tell us, Mr. Cayce, if there is any oil to be found on this
tract in paying quantities.
EC: There is.
(Q) Can you give us the location, please Mr. Cayce?
(A) [words missing] with the line of [words missing] across
this property, from the Northeast towards the Southeast
diagonally across this. That is from the line we come to
the West side, Northwest edge diagonally across the Southeast
edge, we have the upper heaval, and in this we have three
stratas of oil land. The first we would find of shallow
depth and there would be small quantities of oil showings,
which would pay in themselves. In the better depth from
twelve to fourteen hundred feet, in the same location, we
would find it would pay from 200 to 400 barrels per day. In
some placed in this sand would be found dry. In others would
be the better paying quantities found in this strata across
here against the reef. In the lower sand at 2600 to 2700
feet, in the Southeast portion, would be the better pools
of showing. Going just on the Western slope of the [words
missing] they vary slightly from the surface contours, deeply
in the lower contours. That is underneath the top of the
earth. In this we will find from 6000 to 8000 barrels per
twenty-four hours. There is not very much of this that we
would find on this land here though. This cuts off just on
below this edge, because it is against a wall or reef, which
separates across this portion of the land, so that South and
East of this it is cut off. The location to drive for this
would be in the Southeast edge to the Northwest from the edge
of the land here.
(Q) How far, Mr. Cayce?
(A) We have got it here. There is a glade and a ditch that
comes across the edge, and there is a road. There is a log
that lies across the road, that is just to the edge of the
glade in the side here from this little ditch, not the big
one, that is on the other side.
(Q) How far is this log, Mr. Cayce.
(A) [No response].
