be realized in the erection of this steel

it is erected it Is thought that the en-
tire Atlantic Ocean coast will be in di-

At the present time there are only two
such stations, one a Brant Rock, Mass

it was left for ]. A. Brent, OF San Fran
cisco. TO do the actual prospecting. He
hired the Mayo brothers. experienced
oil well drillers. and proceeded to sink
well near where the original artesian
pressure of gas became so strong that
the water was shot out of the well
above the top Of the derrick and at vari-
Gus times the gas pressure has been
sufficient to make it necessary to shut
down the drilling operations.
The Bowie Field.
The third virgin field is near Bowie,
where strong indications Of oil have
been discovered by well drillers seeking
artesian water. The field extends into
Greenlee and Graham counties and
seems to have it's base at the foot Of
Stems Pass mountains. These locations
are expected to develop strong flows of
oil and the land surrounding them is
being taken up by the prospectors who
have gone TO the field after hearing Of
the oil strike. Benson, Ariz is also
confident of having oil deposits near
there, oil sand having been found in
artesian wells that were being drilled.
Although the Toyah field is the one
most fully developed, any Of the other
districts may develop into second Beau
monts before the drilling operations
are completed. The men who are back
ing the prospectors with funds are con-,
fident that there is oil in each Of these
districts and the Toyah field is expect
ed to develop a commercial flow of oil
before spring. Any such development.

in order to continue operations. This
company owns or controls from 80 to
so sections of land surrounding the
wells it is said, and is in position to
control the field should a gusher be
struck there.
Independent Operations.
While the Texas company was pio-
neering, other companies were formed
to prospect in the oil belt The Toyah
Oil and Pipeline company, composed of
Midland and Toyah capitalists has been
organized and the drilling will begin
about January l. The Corsicana Oil
and Petroleum company has a well
drilling apparatus in operation and the
Toyah Oil and Mineral company is pre-
pairing to drill on some of the T. & P.
railroad land Smaller rigs have been
set up in different parts of the field
and prospecting is being carried on in
an effort to strike the underground
deposit of oil which experienced oil men
say is under the Toyah district. Prac-
tically all of the land in the Reeves
county field has been taken up or pur-
chased and the sales of these lands
have been brisk since the first indica-
lions of oil were obtained.
Shamrock Field.
The Camp City field has just been
prospected by J. A. Brent. of San Fran
cisco, who sunk a test well near the
station at Camp City, 10 miles south of
AlamogordO This well went down al
most 1000 feet, and there were strong
indications of oil and gas, but Mr.. Brent
declares he has quit. The formation
surrounding the Camp City field is said
to be ideal for an oil deposit and Mr..
Brent and his associates in the Camp
City field have been confident that
flow of oil would be struck as soon as
the hard rock formation was pierced.
The Camp City field was discovered
by accident. Well drillers were at
work near the station at Camp City,
then called Shamrock, nee Dog Canyon.
They were boring for artesian water
when gas bubbles were discovered on
the surface of the water. A rush to
take up the desert land surrounding
the well resulted and much of the land
was claimed by prospective oil million
aires. Companies were talked of and
promotion Of the field discussed. But

Oil Prospects and Oil
Development In the
Neighborhood Eel Paso

"w o and possibly three oil fields
are well within the trade region
of. FL Paso. Two of them are
certainties-Toyah, Texas, and Bowie,
Arizona. There are good prospects at
Shamrock or Camp City, n. NJ, north
of FL Paso about rs miles.
At Toyah, in Reeves county, the
greatest progress has been made in the
development of a field which experts
assert positively promises to be very
rich. Shallow oil, self refined by pass
ing through natural distillation pro-
cess underground, has been in evidence
in this field for many years and has
been used for lubricating on the Texas
& Pacific and for pumping machinery.
Capt. Thomas Ross, an oil producer
from the/California field, learned of this
oil and started pioneering in the Toyah
field, located north and west of the
town of Toyah, on plateau overlook
ing the town and valley, and now many
wells are being sunk and the field is
practically proved
The Beginning at TOyah.
Test wells were sunk there by Capt.
Ross. who was being backed in his
venture by the Texas company, the big
gest oil company in Texas since the
Standard withdrew from this field. The
wells originally sunk on the top of a
little knOAA ONGIlOOhlIlS uIdW were
abandoned and a new well started
alongside of an arroyo. The most in

Then No. well was started. A bit

thick as molasses and of the same APP

mont and Sour Lake fields was obtain

well was utilized for generating heat
to drive the drill.
