Among the companies drilling in
Guadalupe county are the Carter oil
company, the Ohio Cities Oil and
Gas company and the Gypsy Oil COM
pany, which are drilling jointly a
well on the Anton Chico grant in the
northern part of Guadalupe county.
These companies have a well down
about 900 feet and sufficient casing
on the ground to go down about
5000 feet if necessary.
To the west of these the Toltec
Oil company has large lease with
a we'll down 500 feet and rig up on
a second tract. To the east of this
tract, the Cosden Oil company has
taken lease on the 200,000-acre
ranch of Senator Jones and it will
drill seven wells.
f. II. Watson, of Seattle, WASH,
who has been here for several
months leasing oil lands, left Thurs
day for Denver, Colo, on business.
Mr.. Watson expects to return within
ten days to complete arrangements
for drilling for oil on some of the
leases he holds near Santa Rosa.
