 Selling Too Soon

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 30.-Not a single dry hole has been drilled in the proved Northwest Burkburnett field, according to M. A. Smith, Wichita Falls operator and one of the plungers in the Burkburnett field Smith has made fortune, but he could have made more. Before the boom he bought 40 acres in block 66 for S32,00O.

NEW WELL PROVES
 f3 EXTENSION or NO TEXAS POOL
and McSweeney Bring in Producer Two Miles North
 of Breckenridge.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 30,- Snowden and McSweeney's Ackers well, two miles north of Brecken- ridge, has practically established proof of a valuable extension of the Breckenridge pool. At 3,135 feet, with the drill 25 feet in the black lime, the Ackers well is making around 400 barrels of oil and 5,00O,- 900 cubic feet of gas.
 The we'll is three miles from pro- duction, the nearest producers being in the northern part of the Breck- enridge pool, which at this time reaches to within mile of the south ern limits of Breckenridge. Just north and offsetting the Ackers, the Gulf Production company has a well nearly to the top of the sand. It is expected in within weeks time. According to the latest reports from the field the Gaston well of the Prairie Oil and Gas company in the northwestern part of Stephens 'coua- ty has very bad fishing job. The we'll was shot and 9he hole caved in
 on top of the bailer when the hole was being bailed. It may be neces- sary to abandon the well.
 The Langord we'll of the Prairie 1 Oil and Gas company, also in Steph- ems county and about mile south of Cotton Plant, is showing for small production The we'll is making
 about 25 barrels daily. While the | Langord can't, be considered strictly ! an eotitside we'll, there is no other
 production in that immediate terri tory.

"DRY" HOLE PRODUCES

Abilene, Texas, Aug. 30.-Andy Urban No. 1, marked for abandon ment because it was ruined by salt water, is "acting up' queerly.
 The casing was pulled last week. During Sunday oil and water, mostly oil, began to flow from the we'll and it was still flowing Monday after noon. According to persons who visited the scene, the oil was flowing freely into the slush pit and ditches.
 It is thought the lifting of the cas- ing permitted the ga sto exert it's pressure on the oil and salt water and start the we'll to flowing.

A Change in Industries.

The factory in the former Grange Hall
on Hill Street, South Paris, is to be occu'
pied BY the Carroll j ellerson Shoe Co.
of Norway for portion of it's work, in
the stitching department, and perhaps
with a portion of the cutting. L. n.
Carroll of the company went to Boston
the first of last week to buy the neces-
ssry machinery.
Quite a number of the employees OF
the company live at South Paris, and
one reason for this move is that, in the
absence of adequate and convenient
transportation facilities between the two
towns, the company will try the expert,
ment of taking the work to them instead
of their going to the work. 1t 10 also
understood that because OF lack OF facili
ties for the work at its factory, . certain
portion of the company's work has beer
done at Auburn during the past months
and this will now be taken to South
Paris. 1t Is understood that fifty OF
more hands will be employed here.
The Ksslin Manufacturing Co., which
had begun the manufacture OF shirts II

few weeks, will take its business back t

Kaslin Manufacturing Co. as can be uset
BY the new occupants will be taken over
and the company will be reimbursed b!
