Population of Columbus is 1880

C. R. Rogers, precinct constable,
has just completed the taking of the

towns with a population Of 600 or
more the powers delegated to towns
which law Mayor j. R. Blair was re-

This dill was crawn to take in
towns with a population Of 500 for
the reason that Mr. Blair did not

Bowie Oil Lands Test High

The air is vocal with the refrain Of
the coming oil era, and the heart
sings in unison and the burden of its
song is oil--ever and always oil
and the dropping spirit, weary with
long waiting, rises to the sweet con-
cord and is glad How precious is the
jewel Of hope. and Bowie holds that
jewel-plucked from the encircling
fields of oil whose very desert and
age-scarred face is a true earnest Of
it's buried treasure. (Which, like the
toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet n
precious Jewel in its head" Shakes
peare, the noblest mind of all time,
spoke these words 300 years ago, but
it does not require the genius of n
Shakespeare to tell in homelier
phrases the promise Of the Bowie
field.
And why are we happy in anticipa-
ton? Do you know that all eyes are
turned our way-that leasers and
locators and prospectors are busy in
the field; that money is subscribed in
generous measure and equipment
ready right here and now to work
and bring in the oil sands that under
lie the field at several horizons as
proven by the test well of the U. S.
Oil e. Refining Co., and that the COM
ing week will see this work in full
swing. That these oil sands test high
in petroleum-30 gallons to the ton
rich in parafiin and the volatile ele-
ments that yield 30 per cent gasoline
and valuable derivatives. That this
stratifcation underlies the entire
Bowie basin and has been estimated
by engineers to aggregate millions of
tons of this character Of sands and
that numerous other companies and
interests will do as the U. S. Oil
people are doing, and that right
away.
They will work the oil sands to inn
mense profit and simultaneously
strike for the "big oil" at greater
depths from which the sands are i'm
pregnated.

CAP ROCK SAID TO
BE HARD DRILLING


The drilling at the well Of the
Valley Oil Company continues, but
the progress is very slow. The rock
formation is so hard that only few
feet day can be made, and the deep
err they 60 the harder this rock seems
to become.
There is a general opinion that un-
der this rock lies the oil in big guam
titles. In the Tampico field, which
formation Is said TO resemble, this
cap rock is very thick, and so hard
that II takes long time TO get
through 1t. From reports this seems
to be the rule everywhere. and gen.
orally the harder and thicker this
cap the larger and stronger is the
flow Of oil and gas.
Several sales have recently been
made Of decided lands in the vicinity
Of the well, the price ranging from
S25 to 5000 per acre, according to the
location. The interest grows strong
err each day, and those who are selling
are still holding. the larger part Of
their tracts, and the sale is made on
account Of the owners being in need
Of funds
How long II will take TO penetrate
this rock is the problem now. II
takes so much of the time to keep
the tools in shape that the drill can
not be kept going all the time and
progress is so slow while the drill is
going. According TO the estimates
made by biologists II there are no ac-
cidents. it is possible. they say, to
get through this formation within
the next thirty days. However. this
is only guess.
There is n report current that an
other company expects to bring in a
rig and start drilling within the next
thirty days. However, this report
has not been confrmed.-Columbus
