Derricks were ignited and burned like tinder. The numerous small wood settling tanks scattered over the tract were also burned and a blazing piece of timoer floated away about 2000 feet into the Higgins Oil & Fuel company's tank No. 2. This tank is built of eteel and holds 3,750 barrels of oil. The oil was ignited and' is still burning.

While the destruction of the settling tanks entailed a great loss to individual companies, the real danger to the field was not apparent until ight. It was then discovered that the Woods gusher was pouring a column of 'burning oil and gas more than one hundred feet in the air. MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE DISCUSSED BY .ANGLICANS St. Johns, N.
