This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 21st day of October, 1925, in accordance with request made by Mr. [1180].

[Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading Rio Arriba County, 2:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New Mexico.

1. GC: You will have before you a tract of U.S. Government land, in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, known as Section 33, Township 7, North Range 30 West. You will tell us if the location for oil 290 feet North East of the South West corner, where an iron survey stake is down, is the right location for oil. Also give any information possible regarding oil in the territory and locate any large deposits of oil in the surrounding country. You will answer any questions which I will ask you regarding this.

2. EC: Yes, we have the locations as are made here. We will find there will be found small deposits of high grade oil, and this will be found near the seven hundred and ninety (790) level, between seven sixty and ninety (760 & 790), see?

3. The water just below this level will cause trouble, unless handled properly, see? The encountered conditions drilling at this location would be as these:

4. The only trouble to be found is the sudden changes in the formations of very soft and very hard stratum. This will necessitate not rushing too speedily on the very hard formations, see? Two stratums of water, the surface and the lower stratum, may be encountered.

5. In the adjoining country, in the section lower than this and near the plateau, there would be found the larger production of oils. Also in this territory there will be found two stratas, one in the seven sixty-seven (767), another in the eighteen hundred (1800) feet level, varying in accordance to the locations, see? In this we would find that sufficient to justify the extension of pipe lines in this territory. While this in Section 33, Township 7, North West Range 30, will be of high gravity, that in the South and West from this (two to three and one half miles, see?), for this lies almost in the crescent shape, see?

6. (Q) Any other information regarding the oil in this territory? (A) In the smaller production we will find from three to fifteen (3 to 15) barrels. In the other we would find from thirty (30) in the upper - thirty to ninety (30 to 90), in the lower from fifteen hundred to five thousand (1500 to 5000) per day, see?

7. We are through for the present.

R1. 1/26/26, Aztec, Mr. [1180]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce & all;-

I know you will be surprised to hear from me but I will take a chance on you standing the shock.

Well I have been awful busy then to have been waiting to finish that well you gave a reading on but guess I will never get through by way it looks. I will not go into much details of it but will mail you a full report giving log and all as soon as finish we are now 950 with no oil yet. As for water I never in my life drilled a hole any depth that I had so much water trouble on in that we sat four strings of pipe and understand some of that just every few feet would get more water.

Well now about my big block south of river in Angel Piah county I now have about fifty some odd thousand acres there in two big blocks have one standard outfit and tools ready to go and No. 2 derrick started up. I am hitting it hard this spring have two standard strings one big National rig and the outfit I brought from Texas two big trucks besides the one lost just turned old Ford in on new Ford truck roadster & coupe so have plenty cooling stock most all my equipment is new I am planning on using the other fellows money as much as possible so as to make a little on dry holes and once a producer you will see me and no more oil fields for me broke and loaded with worries but I have lots of work yet before that time.

I will try to finish this one well now soon then tell you all about it besides outline my hole plans to you showing the leases I hold and all then you may see what you can do with it I am going early and late but seems to agree with me I weigh 191 lbs. and feel fine hoping all of you are enjoying the best of health I will close and go to bed for tonight. As ever your same [1180]
