f PAsOANs WONDER WHAT SECRET
THE TOYAH OIL FIELD HOLDS

, oil district their greatest hope. The
fact that the Texas company is going
ahead with q second well and is buying
up more land is the trump card in this
belief. The indications which were
found in that capped well must have
been so favorable. they argue, that the
Texas company wished 70 explore the
field more fully. The rig was removed
from the capped well. shifted across the
now dry wash and set up within quar-
ter of a mile of the well upon which
Toyah ties her hope of future oil pros
perity. The reason given by the nestor
of the Toyah field Capt. Charles Ross.
for moving the rig across the dry bed
Of Cottonwood creek was to find il that
wash or draw was only an arroyo or a
fault.
Why Cap the Well.
Why cap me no. well and sta-t in
on a third without going deep enough
TO find oil? is asked. The experience
of oil men throughout the country
proves that the last thing an oil pros
pecting outfit wants is q flow Of oil
or a gusher. To bring in" a we'll. as
the oil term is used, means the show
down of the game and rush to the
field from all directions. The Texas
company has not yet drawn the hand it
wants for the show down. it is argued.
For this reason it is suppress.ng the
facts at the well, many believe, and is
making no effort to go into the crude
oil business at the Toyah field. For
this reason the well was covered over
18th enough dirt, gyp. and corrugated
iron and rough lumber TO build a small
sized house; for this reason the Texas
company is giving out no information
about the well and is playing its cards
like an old hand at the game of oil
poker
No Oil In Wen, Says Ross.
Capt. Ross says there is no oil in the
capped we'll. In fact his answer to the
question If there was not zoo feet OF
oil IN the casing brought forth a char
acteristic oil mans reply in the mega
tive. Arthur Wood, head driller ia
charge of the operations at the well,
says that If they found all il the cap
ped we'll he never saw it. No signs Of
oil to be found around the we'll mouth, /
the presence of so much slush |
and slime on the surface led one anna |

Return From a Trip to the
Place and Know About as
Much as When They Went
Down-What They Saw.

On circumstantial evidence the Texas
company would be convicted of having
struck oil in the Toyah field. Out in
section 16, block SO, of the school land
in Reeves county, TO the northwest Of
Toyah, Il miles. is little rough board
ed camp which hOvers on the cap of a
small hill overlooking a draw running
diagonaMy through that section.
Standing guard over the camp are
two oil rigs. one on the high ground by
the cluster of shacks and the other
across the wash. Between these two
rigs is an acre or more of ground
fenced with barbed wire. On the fence
posts are signs which read Positively
No Admittance." Inside of this enclOs-
ure is a trough, where the sluice from
a well has been poured. This leads
back to hole in the ground. which Is
covered over with pine planks, dirt,
rocks, a piece OF old gunny sacking,
corrugated iron and more dirt. Under
that covering is the well which is to
tell the story Of the Toyah oil field.
Nothing can be seen of the we'll itself
except the concrete foundations for the
rig that was used TO put down the shaft.
But coming from between the cracks
in the boards is a strong odor of gas,
which can be detected even outside OF
the barbed wire enclosure This tell
tale odor is what Toyah people are
backing their claims on, for they firm
ly believe that inside of that capped
casing is either q quantity of oil or
indications which are sufficiently strong
to insure a flow should the well be
pressed deeper into the earth
Looks Like Oil.
Stronger than the odor of gas and
more encouraging than the talk Of the
most optimistic of the TOyah boosters,
is the attitude of the Texas company. 1t
is upon this that che more conservative
base their belief that there is oil in
the Toyah field in paying commercial
quantities. No Agn of oil has yet been
seen according to the Texas company
drillers handling the rigs. But the Tex
as company is spending approximately
100000 in the field. 1t is this that

Work on the new well had stopped
for the day to allow the boiIermaker to
repair the boiler of the engine which
was driving the rig. The driMers were
sitting around the rig or at home re-
pairing back fences. Capt. Ross, one
of the most experienced oil men in the
west, having gone through the Cali
fOrnia oil bOoms, met the crowd of Ell
PasoanS told them all about the opera
t1ons and showed them the we'll But
he would say nothing more about the
presence of oil in the capped well than
that the indications there, as shown
by the presence of the gas and gas
sand, were such that oil might be struck
at any minute. His reply TO the ques-
ton of whether he believed oil was to
be found In the field was that there
was nothing to prevent oil being found,
although no man could tell whether
there was oil in a field until it had been
struck.
Yet the fact that Capt. Ross has
spent the greater part Of seven years
in the center of that desolate COW camp
Il miles from Toyah and away from
civilization is. next to the activity of
the Texas company, the strongest indi-
cation that there is oil there in paying
quantities. Capt. Ross is the pioneer
of the Toyah field.
An Old Time Settler.
Hearing of the presence of shallow
oil in a well on the J. ID. Leatherman
place, he came from California to inves-
tigate the field. He drilled wells and
found that shallow oil was to be had
at from 1913 10 EOS feet. Acquiring
three sections of land with two other
men. he continued to prospect until
the Texas company became interested
in his operat tons and ,ook over his
holdings. From the five shallow wells
which were sunk on the top of the lit
tie ridge a quantity of the shallow
oil was pumped by means of walking
beam Gas was also struck in these
wells and Capt. Ross connected up the
cook stove in his home to utilize the
gas. Four corrugated tanks, filled with
black, greasy fluid stand near the small
wells which Capt. Ross sunk This is
the same kind that is found in other
parts of the Toyah country. 1t is what
he calls stranger oil and according
to his theory, it has come a great dis
lance under high pressure. 1t contains
no base, according to Capt. Ross. the
analysis showing neither paraffine nor
asphaltum base. This oil proves moth |
ng, he says, except that there is oil |
some place in that section. 1t may be /
