OIL AND GAS IN
DUVAL COUNTY.
A Well is now Being Bnilt At
Piedra Pinta.

II. Keller, at one time mayor
of Corpus Christi, now represent
ing well and prospecting COM
pany of Corsicana, is at the
Mahncke. Mr.. Keller is one Of
the pioneer oil prOSpectOrs of Dn-
val county, and the company he
represents is now sinking a well
in that county.
Mr.. Keller talks interestingly
of the Duval county oil field and
he is an enthusiastic believer in
its prospects.
"The company l represent" SAID
Mr.. Keller to The Express, is the
ouIy concern of the kind operating
in Duval county. The company is
boring a we'll at Il place called
Duval Station, or Piedra Pinta,
which means painted rock. This
place is sixty-three miles from
Corpus Christi, and ninety-fve
miles from Laredo, all the line of
the Texas and Mexican Railroad.
The we'll is 600 yards from the
railroad. 1t is one of the largest
plants of the kind in the State,
being cable rugged and capable of
boring 1000 feet if necessary.
"The well was started with IA
inch casing is being used We are
prepared to use 8 inch and 6-inch
casing if necessary. The drill is
now between 400 and 800 feet down,
and going through flint rock. a
very heavy drill and bar required
for this. work, weighing 5000
pounds and tlrF-cable weighs 2200
pounds.
coil, mixed with water, has been
coming out of the we'll since we
reached depth of forty-five feet.
The fact that the oil continues to
come in increased volume the
deeper we go, Indicates plainly that
it is flowing from the bottom in
stead of from the sides. The water
that comes with the oil is arteSian
and has mineral properties about
the same as those of the water al
Corpus Christi. A quarter of q
mile from the we'll there is gas
we'll sixty FIVE feet deep which has
burning since last june. The
flame can be seen for miles and il
is a great curiosity.
"Our company has leases OF
about 10000 acres of land in tht
vicinity, and promises of more.

WHEN the brewers were working uI
false testimony with the connivance
of some army officers and officials, in
favor of the canteen, they stated among
other things that the repeal of the
canteen law increased drunkenness
among the regular soldiers at the diff.
ferent posts in New York. Last spring,
the Methodists of that State appointed
a committee to investigate the matter,
and the committee recently made their
report. An Associated Press dispatch
of September %, says:
1.-THE special committee of Methodist
ministers, appointed last spring to in
vestigate the published reports that
drunkenness was on the increase in the
United States Army posts in New York
and vicinity since the abOlishment of
the army canteen, made its report at
the Methodist ministers weekly meet
ing today. The committee visited all
the forts in this city and vicinity, and
declares that at every post it found the
reports to be entirely false.
ssThe committee also declared that
the reports of rioting and drunkenness,
said to have occurred at Ft. Wadsworth
and South Beach, Staten Island, July
Ii and IA, last, were false in every
particular"
