In The Texas And Oklahoma Oil Fields

mona oil contains such an unusual
percentage of parafine that the cas-
ing and lines leading into the tanks
become lined with the waxy sub
stance until only small quantity of
oil can pass through. The discovery
has led to concerted movement to
clean out the holes which no doubt
will tend to greatly increase the pro-
duction of a number of wells that
have badly slumped.
Jake Hamon, the railroad builder,
has announced the site of his new
toWnsite, which is to be some two
miles south of Desdemona, and will
turn the road to the west on its way
to Ranger, leaving the present oil
camp without railroad facilities.
1t is said that lots in the new town
will sell from $4,000 to $4,000 apiece,
and that the promoters expect a
grand rush to get in on the good
thing" If a meeting held by the lead
ing citizens Of the town is any cri-
terion of the local spirit, little BESIDE
mona money will find its way into
the Golfers of the townsite company.
Building Is Expensive.
Thousands of dollars are expended
weekly in the construction of new
buildings. Most of the structures are
of lumber, and no attempt is being
made at present to construct of more
durable material. There is much
danger of fire, which is the largest
deterrent in the making for perman-
ency. The local water company is
drilling wells and promises adequate
water within 80 days, which will re-
suit in better classes of buildings.
Another thing that initiates
against brick or other fire proof
buildings is the extraordinary cost of
materials. Ordinary shiplap lumber
costs $40 per thousand while floor
ing is selling for 1925. 1t really costs
more to build a flimsy structure in
Desdemona than it would good
substantial building, say in Fort
Worth.

OIL QUESTION SEEMS
TO BE THE GREATEST
CONFRONTING MEXICO
Outline is Given of Important
Matters That Came Before
Assembly.

Mexico City. Sept. 27.-(Corres-
pondence OF The Associated Press
Study of President Carranza'
message to congress on Sept. l
! bring into prominence several sec
lions of the address which were over,
Swallowed at first.
contributed by the department OF
commerce and industry which has
charge Of petroleum and mining
matters.
Lengthy reference is made to the
differences Of opinion existing be
tween the Mexican government ano
the petroleum companies as to their
respective rights and the direct
charge is made that a group of dis
gruntled companies has established
d" an office outside Mexico for the
special purpose of spreading false
and exaggerated statements con-
corning the policies of the Mexican
government in respect to petroleum. y
Not all petroleum companies are
open to this charge, says the mes.
sage.
A new banking law providing fol-
bank of issue and materially
changing the entire financial system
will soon be submitted to congress,
according to the message.
According to a statement prepar-
ed by the department of the Treas
ury the government in the past ten
months has received revenues total
ling 1876 ,3O1 900 pesos and it is es-
timated that total revenues for the
year will aggregate 162,000,000 pc
sos. Estimates for the first nine
months of the year indicate a gain
over a similar period last year of
more than 100000 pesos.
"The campaign against the enc
mics of order has continued with
success" says a portion of the mes
sage dealing with the department of
war, land assurance can be given
that only a few unimportant groups
of bandits are operating in some
states of the republic. They are con-
stantly being hunted and beaten by
federal forces and their auxiliaries."
Members of congress showed most
interest in that part of the message
dealing with the relations with the
United States. When the president al
luded to Mexico's unwillingness to
join the League of Nations and her
determination not to recognize the
Monroe doctrine, senators and de-
puties applauded loudly.
There is every evidence that the
present congress intends to take
some definite stand on the petro-
leum question. The senate has be-
fore it a report by it's special COM
mittee which recommends vital
amendments to Article Twenty-seven
under which the petroleum industry
would be nationalized. The authors
of this report, Juan N. Frias and
Adalberto Rias have announced they
are going to push the measure with
vigor. Meanwhile President Car
rama has intimated that he is going
to let congress deliberate the mat
ter as it wills

OIL MEN FLOCK
TO TEXAS TOWN.:
TRADING BRISK
Enlarging of Field About Des-
demOna Attracts Additional
Spectators.
(By ANTHONY MACCAJIEYD

(By ANTHONY MACCAULEY)
Desdemona, Texas, Sept. 27.-More
strange faces appeared on the streets
OF this busy Oil town the last month
than at any other similar period in
its history, and trading for leases and
royalty was brisk.
Though pipe line runs showed an
increase of only 5000 barrels daily
there was unquestionably four times
that amount produced by the wells.
| Much Of this production rests in ear
then tanks waiting transportation. 1t
is said that Warren Wagner has over
100000 barrels waiting pipe line
connections. A number of other wells
are in the same predicament, but the
coming week promises some relief
from this very undesirable and cost
ly condition obtaining at present.
The Riley we'll created the biggest
stir when it was drilled into the sand
a total distance of Is feet. When the
bit was withdrawn oil flowed in
gusher quantities, overlooking tanks
both earthen and steel and lubdicat-
ed a considerable portion Of the sur
rounding country until more earthen
tanks were constructed. 1t is estimat-
ed that the we'll is doing 5000 to g.
900 barrels daily.
This we'll was drilled few turns
into the sand about month ago, and
has been doing some 1000 barrels ev-
er since. 1t is now one of the top
producers of the oil field
Oil in Lewis Well.
The most potent discovery Of the
month was the striking of oil in the
Lewis well, three miles northwest OF
the town of Desdemona. Conflicting
reports are circulated regarding the
size of production, but there is little
doubt that the field is again greatly
enlarged, and in a direction doped
out by the wise ones. AS a conse-
quence of this discovery acreage
has taken an appreciate jump in
price, with greedy effort on the part
of late corners to get in.
Owners Of big wells in quite num-
Der of instances have wondered why
production would take a sudden
jump when wells adjoining continued
to flow at their old time pressure it
has been discovered that the BESIDE
