FRIDAY
Gulf Refining Company Un-
expectedly Gets Big

| FLOW ESTIMATED
AT 5000 BARRELS

/ VIII Be Cause of Great
Activity.

What may develop into the biggest
we'll ever brought i'll the Caddo field
came as a surprise to the Gulf Refining
Company early yesterday morning. Just
what the we'll will flow is not definitely
known. The officers of the company
say that thev have not yet guaged it and
refused 70 stand sponsor for estimates.
But it is apparently fact that the we'll
filled a 250-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. and is in 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 capacity of from so
to 100 barrels. The we'll was brought
it at a depth of approximately Z, 400 feet
and as its immense production had not
been anticipated, there was no tankage
ready and the well had to be shut off
almos- as soon as it was brought i'll. But
enough was learned to know that it will
be big producer, and it has generated
new interest in the Caddo field.
Its location measurably widens the
field in that district and unquestionably
will result in much activity i'll drilling
i'll that field.
The Gulf Refining company officials
here declare they will pro. al ly he able
to definitely announce the production of
the well some time today. They are
making the necessary arrangements to
handle the output, Tut until tankage is
prepared. there will e no way to ac-
curately guage the we'll.
Oil Interests Stimulated.

when the news first reached the city
that the gusher had been rought in. It

which it is located and will stimulate

With the price of oil steady with q
tendency to advance, the bringing in of
the zig well will mean a great deal to
the oil industry in this whole section.

THE BLOCK SYSTEM AND TOO
CLOSE RUNNING OF FAST
TRAINS.-The news by wire has
been very brisk telling us that the
blame for the terrible triple passenger
train wreck the other day rested be-
tween the engineer of the second
section and the toweTman in charge
of the signals.
Let US not be so sure that the
blame was on either. The block sig
nal system is by no means infallible.
1t is very much better than the old
systems before it but it is by no
means perfect.
Go out among railroad men and
talk to them confidentially and you'll
hear all sorts of cases the country
over where the block didn't work
right. Sometimes the wires cross or
break and everything goes out OF
gear. Occasionally they merely
touch for a second. No matter, the
touch is enough to cause momentary
trouble. Nearly always the trouble
is discovered at once and steps taken
quickly to avert accident. In the
Lake Shore wreck case there was no
time to do this if in fact, the trouble
was with the block.
We think that a railroad regulation
which schedules one fast train only
one mile behind another, as in the
case of this catastrophe at Amherst,
is well nigh criminal in itself. The
first section finding the block against
it-fOr no reason at ALL it appears
