BIGGEST USHER
IN CADDO FIELD
BROUGHT IN
FRIDAY
Gulf Refining Company Un-
expectedIy Gets Big
Producers.
FLOW ESTIMATED
AT $4,000 BARRELS
Widens Proven Zone and
Will Be Cause of Great
Activity.

/ What may develop into the biggest
well ever brought in the Caddo field
came as a surprise 10 the Gulf Refining
/ Company early Yesterday morning. Just
what the well will flow is not definitely
known. The officers of the company
say that they have not yet guaged it and
refused TO stand sponsor for estimates.
But II is apparently fact that the we'll
filled a 25O-barrel tank in fourteen
minutes At this rate it will produce
Is, 900 barrels day.
Location of Great Producer.
The we'll is known as the Duhon Toler
Well No. l and is i'll section ;. township
q, range 10 of the Caddo field. 1t is in
what is known as the Monterey district,
Southwest of Vivian and is on the outer
edge of the old field which has been
producing wells of a capacity of from 50
to 100 barrels. The well was brought
it at depth of approximately ? 400 feet
and as its immense production had not
been anticipated, there was no tankage
ready and the we'll had to be shut off
almos as soon as it was brought in. But
enough was learned to know that it will
be big producer, and it has generated
new interest i'll the Caddo field.
Its location measuraJly widens the
field in that district and unquestionably
will result in much activity in drilling
in that field
The Gulf Refining company officials
here declare they will prota ly tie atle
to definitely announce the production of
the well some time today. They are
making the necessary arrangements to
handle the output, ut until tankage is
prepared there will e no way to ac-
curately guage the we'll.
Oil Interests Stimulated.
The lringing in of this gusher slim
ulated interest i'll oil operations in the
Caddo field with jump Friday morning
when the news first reached the city
that the gusher had teen brought in. II
will, i'll fact, exercise an enormous in
iiuenCe IN the activities OF the district in
which it IS located and will stimulate
development prOpOrtiOnately.
VITA the price of oil steady with a
tendency to advance, the bringing III of
the tig well will mean a great deal to
the oil industry iii this whole section.
Since the development Of the Red river
field there has cen tendency to lessen
operations in the Caddo field til quite
recently when the Standard rought in
a {, OO0-' ariel well and reawakened in
terest. With this latest development as
an incentive there promises to e greater
activity there than ever efore.
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1916-04-01

There are several stratas be bound in the Caddo
Field and the greatest producers are found in the
mately 200 feet deep and produces from IS to 90
barrels per day.
we'll can be drilled to this depth at a cost of from
So 900 to So 800 Because of the small cost necessary
to get production in this and the surety of get
ting oil in paying quantities, shall get production in
the shallow stratum in order insure our investors
that their investment is safe before seeking oil at
greoter depth.
Suppose figure that our wells will produce only
20 barrels per day. and get only five producers this
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1916-04-01

would be 100 barrels per day the handsome price of
$40 per barrel, which the Caddo Crude Oil brings,
would be $4,000 per day, or 81 10000 per month,
allowing 5000 for ali expenses per month. ct should
be less than tis) We would have profit of S3,6OO.OO
or II per cent per month S3O,OOO.OO capital 1872
per cent per year. We feel that this is low estimate of
the production will get. But, if get only this
much it will be good investment.
Later on hope drill to of the deeper stratas
To give some idea of the possibilities of the production
possible in these deeper sratas, here give clipping
from the Shreveport Times OF September Is, 1915, de-
scribing we'll brought in from of these deep

MAY EMPLOY BIRDS
FOR WAR PURPOSES

London, March.-The sight Of birds
pecking mortar suggested to an Eng
lishman a bright idea for demolishing
the Krupp works. The idea was this:
Obtain a flock of cormorants and
train them by putting their food in
horizontal and vertical lines against
a wall They will thus associate these
lines with their food. Take the birds
to Essen and liberate them. They
would then attack the great chimneys
at Krupp's works with such vigor as
to destroy them.
The inventor sent his plan TO the
war inventions board. a member of
which told the story at the Royal in
stitution meeting this week. Il hope, "

BODY OF HILL COX
Civil War Veteran Perishes When His
Rowboat is Carried Over Dam
nj Sears in Night.
DAUGHTER SEES HIM DISAPPEAR
Struggles for Ten Minutes in Whirl-
pool Before He Sinks-t0roner
Conducts An Inquest.

The body of Hill Cox, 66-year-old
Civil war veteran. who was drowned
when his rowboat capsized in Rock
river Saturday evening, was recovered
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. 1t
was found a short distance below the
cut off dam, between Cars and Van
druf's islands, by a party of men who
had been at work dragging since ear
ly in the morning.
Coroner r. c. ]. Meyer was notified
and an inquest was conducted on Van
druff'S island last evening, the jury
returning a verdict of death due to ac
cidental drowning The remains were
taken to knox's undertaking parlors
in Rock Island.
According to the story told by DR.
COX,s daughter. Mrs. Leonard Huss,
the only eyewitness to the tragedy the
boat was carried down the stream
after she stepped out.
The accident occurred at I:25. Ear
Tier in the evening, Mr.. Cox rowed his
daughter across TO the mainland and
they went together to Sears to do some
shopping and to visit with friends.
Returning later Mr. Cox rowed his
daughter back to Carr's island, which
is situated in Rock river at a point
slightly above the Watch Tower and
separated from Nandruff's island by 4
cutoff They reached the island safe
ly. Mrs. Huss picked up her baskets
containing groceries and other sup
plies and stepped out of the craft. AS
she did so the boat was suddenly car
ried out into the stream. before she
was able TO catch the rope.
The rushing water which is within
two feet of the February food stage,
carried Cox and the craft down stream
quickly and he was seen to go over
the cutoff dam near the island.
Unable to Help.
Mrs Huss, nearly frantic from the
shock of the unlocked for tragedy
rushed to the cottage and awakened
her husband. who was taking a nap.
Together they ran along the shore, I'M
Ill they reached a point near the dam
Here Mrs Huss said she saw her father
struggle for nearly 10 minutes in the
whirlpool al the bottom Of the dam
before he disappeared from view
Their frantic cries attracted people OIL
the mainland, but no one was able tC
help Cox, as there was not a boat in
sight. and when he went down he was
nearly in mid-stream. Mrs. Huss and
her husband were forced to stay On
the island. their only means of COM
munication to mainland being cut of
when the rOwboat flOated off.
Had Cox had presence of mind
enough he could have stood up as he
reached the dam, as the water is only
knee deep where it goes over 1t Is

dred thousand dollars a year for Mary

latest sensation that is agitating the

Miss Pickford blushingly admits she
still has ambitions, and it is known
that when her contract with the Fa

last January she did not renew it.
Benjamin B. Hampton, vice presi-

spirits in the big movie combine that
is said to have been planned for more
economic operation of the motion pic
ture business. When asked about the
rumor. he referred all questions to

The report of Miss Pickford's half
million-dollar offer came as an added
surprise, as it had been supposed the
purpose of the new merger was to re-
duce salaries.
