BIC GAS WE'LL RUNS
WILD At MEX|A
EXPERTS UNABLE TO ESTIMATE
FLoW-SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO
CONQUER WE'LL.

MeXia, Tex, April 15.-Witb Mexia
people first in the field, hundreds
of people in this part of the state are
flocking to the BrodnaX tract, two
miles west of this city, to view what
is said by some drilling experts to
be the biggest gas well ever devel-
oped in this country Every avail
able vehicle is being used to carry
people to the We'll, which without any
warning at p. m. today emitted
through its 6-inch casing a stream OF
dry gas that cannot be estimated
with near accuracy at present.
According to Secretary Westlow Of
the MeXia Commercial club, the flow
was calculated to be about 10000.
600 cubic feet in twenty four hours.
The depth of the well is about 700
feet and from all appearances. eX-
perts say, the pressure is between 35o
and 400 pounds to the square inch.
However there can be nothing like an
accurate measurement, for it is i'm
possible to get within 100 yards OF
the derrick.
The new well is No. II of the Mexia
Oil and Gas company, backed by To-
cal capital. 1t was the last of
series for which contracts had been
let. Fred Allison had charge of the
drilling.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-04-16
Impossible to Cap II.

The Mexia company and its work
men are facing a serious problem
All experts have been pitting theil
wits to conceive a way to cap the
wild well. Owing to the fact that
human hands can not gat close to
the opening there is much specula
tion as to what method can be used
Every effort is being made to keep
fire from the derrick to prevent a
situation that existed near Oil City,
La, in the Vivian field, five years
ago, when the Little Ananias" ran
wild for many weeks beyond reach
of human devices.
The roaring and rumbling from the
new gasser can be heard in every
nook and corner of MeXia tonight.

The Words of the Banker.

If the Wilson administration is not too full or the
Bryanite prejudice against bankers and banks TO
heed anything that comes from such source IL
will read with profit the answers when the cur
rency commission of the American Bankers Assoc
citation has made to the questions asked by con-
mittee of the Senate in regard to banking and cur
rency reform
Especially will it profit by reading what the BANK
ers say about the dangers of political control over
the credit mechanism of the country and about the
weakness Of mere regional reserve associations COM
pared with a central association with branches.
The plain lesson of past experience is that the
country needs unifcation Of its banking reserves
The administration proposes not one reservoir OF
reserves but many in different regions. In time OF
stress as the bankers point out there is likely 10
he a regional scramblng for reserves and reglonaI
boarding Of them which will be only little less eH'
barrassing than that which occurs among banks now
in emergencies.
In n crisis seven Mr. Bryans in Washington ana
fifteen or more regional institutions each playing lis
own hand would make poor substitute for such
banking system as the great European nations have
II the Wilson Bryan plan is adopted it will not sur
vive more than one period Of stress.
