against 50,515 bbls. in May from TIC producers. The district in June pro duced approximately 2,557,80O bbls. during the 30 days against 1862 ,910 bbls. in 31 days in May. This is the greatest production ever known in the Wichita Falls district and judging from present indications the district will produce more than g. O00,000 bbls. of crude in July.
 Many Completions.
 In the three Burkburnett pools there were 147 completions in June, ll3 of which were producers with an initial production of around 76,130 bbls. The three pools produced g. 168, 800 bbls. during the month, an in- crease of 324 300 bbls. over the pre- vious month. Of the Burkburnett compilations 37 wells were completed with an initial production of more than 1000 bbls. while 35 wells had initial production of less than 100 bbls. each, most of which were in the townsite pool.
 Of the 21 completions in the Elec- tra field, II were producers and 10 were abandonments. The initial pro- duction for the month were 355 bbls. In the Iowa Park field nine holes were abandoned and the II producers made the total of 20 compilations with an initial production of 27O bbls. The new sand found below 800 feet on the Brown farm near Iowa Park is taken to mean much for this shal- low field At Petrolia the only con- pletions were four abandonments.

 With 28 less completions than in May, the West Texas fields had total production of more than 200,- 900 bbls more in June than in the previous month, in spite of the fact that June had only 30 days.
 Several things contributed to hold up completions in practically all the West Texas territory, and especially that far removed from bases of sup

WILSON'S COUSIN THINKS TEXAS
 FIELDS RICHEST
ajOr Wilson Enthusiastic Over Oil Possibilities of
 North Texas

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 8.-Tak- ing advantage of a short leave of absence, Maj. E. G. Wilson, U. s. A., is making an inspection of the North Central Texas oil field.
 Major Wilson is second cousin of President Wilson. He has been in the army since the United States entered the struggle on the side of the allies. His home is at Warren, Pa, and for years before he entered the army he was captain of a con- pany in the Pennsylvania National guard. He entered the servic eas a captain of infantry but was later transferred to the quartermaster corps and wen abroad in that branch. He was overseas 15 months, serving alternately as infantry instructor, in the motor transport corps and later as head of the oil and gas division for the First army. He expects to be given his discharge soon.
 The major wears foreign service stripe with two bronze stars in recognition of his service on the St. Mlhlel and on the Argonne- Mouse sectors. He was also on the Chat eau Thierry front, but was not at tached to any unit.
 Before entering the war, Wilson was in the oil business. He was for several years connected with the Galena-Signal Oil company. He possesses knowledge of the various branches of the oil industry, but admit sthat he is partial to the refin- ing end of the business.
 Major Wilson is enthusiastic over the outlook in Texas. While he has been into the fields he has made some study of them and declared they are the largest and richest fields in the country. He expressed the opin- ion that some districts and some oil sands are now being passed up that will later be developed when the cream of the fields has been talk en and the gushers are things of the past. He foresees a long period of development in this section of the southwest. L=.-z

Nt Production Ln Teras Sho1us Gain

The month of June saw produced in l Texas and Southern Louisiana a to- tai of 8,057 ,450 bbls., as compared with 7,860,703 bbls., for the same sec tons in May. The total production of crude oil in Texas alone durino, June was approximately 7,S71.5 .54O Dols., according to figures compiled Dy the statistical department of The Oll Weekly. This represents gain o1 more than quarter million bar rels III spite of the fact that May may mad one more producing day than June had and that uJne was ore of the Wettest months experienced in years.
 Central West Texas led m pro- auction by sections, with a total of B. 34O,4 ,44O bbls. to it's credit. North Texas was second with 2,567 800 bbls. and the Gulf Coast section came last with 2,149,500 bbls. Ranger had the biggest production by fields, the total production of the Ranger field lead Ing Burkburnett by several thous- and barrels.
 There were 4l5 completions re- ported during June, as compared with 492 completions during May. Of these 415 completions 290, or approximate ly 69 per cent of the wells drilled, which IS very remarkable percent age. The total initial production of the state and South Louisiana during the month was 190, ,147 bbls., another remarkable set of figures.
 The production of Texas alone dur ing June was valued at approximate ly $14,155,076. In fixing an appro- xlmate value on hte production of the state high gravity oil was valued at $40 per barrel--in numerous in- stances it is bringing more-and South Texas crude was valued at $1 per barrel, giving a very conserva- tive estimate
 North Texas Saw Much New Pro-
 ducticn.
 There was no important extention of the Northwest Burkburnett field in June, although the new pool began to show up strong in the dail yaver- age production column. As the month closes the P. G. & J. s. Oil company's well in in block S2O is reported on the sand and when this we'll comes in the field vii be extend ed more than mile and half a little south of west The new Northwest Burkburnett pool is al- ready proven in area approximately y five times as great as the Burk- burnett toWnsite pool.
 There were 192 completions in the North Texas or Wichita Falls district in June against 241 in May, but the June initial production from 1855 producers was 76,755 bbls.,

NEW RICH HAVE PECULIAR PADS
 AND FANCIES
Strange Stories Heard of Folk Suddenly Made Rich by
 Oil.

The oil fields are full of stories of the activities of various and sundry rural inhabitants and their newly ac- qulred riches incurred from oil Com- Ing as 1t did in the tWinkling of an eye almost, the oil fields converted farmers, who at best had meted out a bare livelihood on their none too productive farms in the West Texas districts, into millionaires over night. CaIious hands that have known the most menial of labors are now adorned with costly gems, and those whose transportation facilities had been loWly mule are now traversing the country in all directions in costly lmousines. Among the fair sex the evolution IS more marked. Beauty specialists are working overtime to brlng back the roses of youth to checks furrowed with care and sun scorched through many weary hours of labor in the field Matrons who were accustomed to brogans only when the yattcnded church and were wont to go, about their household duties in bare feet, are rapidly mastering the art of navigating on French heels.
 IilC mary ol JHefl COulu not grasp the magnitude of their fortunes nor golden miracles is evident in incidents related as facts. There is the story of the farmer who died shortly after acquiring his fortune last summer. When his wife was asked as to the cause of her husbands demise she stated that his one ambition in life was to have enough money to satisfy his craving for peaches. She told the undertaken, frankly, that he had killed himself eating his favorite fruit
 Wanted to Travel.

MORE THAN 1,132 WELLS DRILLING
 IN WEST TEXAS
Of l97 Wells Completed, 3l2 Are Producing
 Oil.

There are 1132 drilling wells, rigs and locations in the territory known as the Central West Texas fields ac- cording to figures complied during the last days of June, and carried in the Houston Oil Weekly. The new locations and rigs since that time will easily make the total number of tests in sight run to 1850.
 This is exclusive of the develop ment in the North Texas area, in Wichita and adjoining counties, em- bracing' the Burkburnett field. 1t is practically impossible to get an accur- ate statement of the number of wells drilling there, for by the time the fig ures would be compiled, they would be in correct again.
 The statement recently made by a prominent supply company man that is nothing but dry holes should be drilled from now on to the end, it would take the supply companies two years to catch up with orders for ma terials which they now have, is ad- mirably demonstrated by the figures above. 1t is safe to say that there are 5000 tests for oil scheduled in the new fields of North and West Texas combined, and these tests would all be drilled during the year 1919 if supplies and labor could be provided for them.
 1132 Tests Under Way.
 The West Texas district wher1 ,132 tests are under way, is one of the largest connected districts ever ex- plored for oil. It covers territory of 30,000 square miles in Central West Texas, with extensions into the south west development, northwest to Anna rilla, and east to Louisiana, and north to the development in the North Texas fields, forming connection between West Texas fields, forming connec- tion between West Texas and Okla homa. These outlying districts, en- bracing some 20O,000,000 acres of oil lands where wildcat ting is under way, are not included in the figures given for the West Texas field. These figures apply to that con nected section radiating in all direc

plies. The past few weeks have seen more wet weather in West Texas than territory ever knew before, and the result IS seein in the completed actiVi- ties especially in the Stephens county fields. Inability to get supplies, to- gether With lack of storage and the difficulty encountered in providing storage in new districts, are mainly responsible for the holding up of acti- vitTes.
 There were total of 145 wells completed or reached the producing stage in the West Texas districts in June, IA of which are showing pro- duction. A good many of these wells are not finally completed, especially in the Desdemona section where there is general practice of allowing the heavy gas pressure to eXpend it. self before completing the well. But when the sand is penetrated and the test begins making gas at a heavy rate or oil in commercial quantities it is well established that the well will be producer, and is therefore carried in this summary. There were 31 dry and abandoned tests in the West Texas fields daring the month
 The new high record for production over months period is more signi- ficant in view of the fact that it was made in short month. There would be more than a hundred thousand bar rels to add to the production if the month had been one of 31 days. As it is the figures stand at 3,340, ,44O bbls., against 3,156,2S6 bbls. for May
 New Territory Annexed
 Considerable new territory was opened up during June in Eastland and Stephens counties. The general trend of development of the Ranger field proper is westward, while the development of new section in the Southeastern part of Stephens coun- ty is properly an extension of the Ranger pool.
 The Perkins wei of Root, Hupp and Duff west of the John York survey, west of Ranger, good for 5000 bbls natural at the time of it's completion at 3515 feet, pushed the producing area of the Ranger field further west nearly two miles. This extension, with intervening production on the Boyd, Roper and NorWood tracts, to- gether with the northwest expan- sion by the Prairie on the Danley, has made the west part of the Ran ger field the best looking section of West Texas. It appears that this producing area is to be further ex- tended and number of interesting tests are under way in the district directly west of the new production.

Texas oil production set new records during June, in spite of handicaps. A valua tion of more than $14,000, ,000 for the month-a conservative valuation-means that some of the many millions of dol lions of dollars spent in Texas during the past l2 months are beginning to bear real fruit. an itemized statement of the way the "friut" is borne will be found in the accompanying statistics.

THE RIGHT COURSE

: Time and space are against THE
OASIS saying much about the street
lighting contract entered into by the
Nogales Town Council yesterday
evening; but it is said right here
that it meets the approval of all right
thinking people. The Arizona Gas
& Electric made proposition which
was for modern right up to date
system, modern in every respect,
the cheapest and most economical,
which is guaranteed forty-three
dollars per month cheaper than the
other offer. 1t will be claimed for
the other company that they offered
more lighting for their money; but
they give no guaranty of doing so.
We will go into that matter later.
Another reason why the contract
let was just. The Arizona Gas &
Electric Company has the largest
and best plant, and the most efficient
service, and it's is taxed heavier than
the Nogales Company, for the rea-
son that its plant and equipment cost
more and is assessed higher. And it
broke private monopoly in electric
light and power which had drawn
thousands of dollars. from the people
of Nogales. In putting up that
plant and backing the enterprise to
a successful operation Don Atom
Proto showed himself public bene-
factor. His enterprise is entitled
to receive some of the public patron
age; and in giving the Arizona Gas
& Electric Company the contract
that was ordered executed last night,
the Nogales Town Council pursued
the right course.

Worthy Son Of Nippon.

One of the first Japanese settlers In
California was Kanae Nagasawa, the
present owner of one of the largest
wineries in the state. In 1865 the then
young Nagasawa was sent to Scotland
for education, by the prince Of Sat-
suma. While in Edinburgh he was
befriended by Mr.. Harris. founder Of
a certain religious faith of high ideal
ism. In 1868 Harris came to the
United States to found an ideal col
ony, and Nagasawa accompanied him
to New York, where he stayed for
over ten years. When Harris estab-
llshed a colony in Santa Rosa in 1886
Nagasawa was his confidant and fel.
low pioneer. BY his zeal and industry
he converted the wilderness into vine
yard and today his wines command the
highest prices In the markets Of Lon
don and. Paris.
Two severe attacks on the admins
tration were made in the senate last
week. First Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, assailed the "dilatofS" policy
followed in rehabilitation, asserting
that the administration is as UMPIRE
pared for disbanding the army as it
was for the war itself. He warned his
party that it would be held responsible
politically by the returning soldiers
if 1t failed to adopt an adequate pro-
gram for taking care of them. The
other attack was made by Republic
an, Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,,
who bitterly criticized the war depart
ment for delays and errors in compil.
ing casualties among the expeditionary
forces and for failure to cooperate
with the Red Cross in the matter of
forwarding letters from wounded SOL
diers to their relatives In this country.
In many instances. Mr. Weeks said,

into the doings Of the shipping board.

FILM OF FAMOUS
MAETERLINCK STORY
COMES TO NOGALES
THEATRE TODAY

"The Blue Bird" or the story that
will never be forgotten comes to the
Nogales theatre today.
The picture ranks among the best,
if not the greatest of productions IN
it's class ever screened.
Maeterlinck's "Blue Bird" is not
altogether a child's story. 1t brings
to us all, that touch of sympathetic
instinct known to those who love
life and laughter and love.
"Blue Bird" turned people away
night after night during it's presen-
tation in New York. School pro
fessors and mothers alike, who are
familiar with the story urged their
charges to attend the performance.
Manager Diamos of the Nogales
theatre is to be congratulated on
his. ability to secure the "Blue Bird"
for Nogales. Owing. to the added
cost of the picture he is forced to
raise the admission price few cents
but when one sees the production
and hears the jazz band that Mr..
Diamos has added as part of the
show tonight, they will feel well re-
paid.
Besides this offering the Nogales
will show the regular big "side line"
comedy with capital &C."
