Will Deepen Well
 to Increase Flow
 Now 6,000 Barrels

Ranger, Texas, Aug. 18.-L W, Fargason No. 1 of the Humble Oil X Refining company will be deepened with probable increase in produc- ton from it's present gait of 6,0O0 barrels, to which it has settled from its initial rate of 4,000. The well is eight foot in the sand. depth of the pay still is in doubt. At the well scouts figures placing it at 3,450 and two sets of figures furnished at the well give it as 3,440 and 3,462 feet.
 Coody No. of the Sinclair Gulf Oil company is 500-barrel we'll flowing by heads after 30G-quart shot yesterday, The pay streak was jared from 3,265 to 3,33l feet. It made six flows for total of 200 barrels last night.
 Pay in the T. w. Connolle No 3 of the Magnolia Petroleum company runs from 3,427 to 3,442 feet and the well is hitting up l,200 barrels.
 E. s. Davis No. 2 and Dick Grey No. 5 of the Humble have finished setting six-inch on top the black lime at Desdemona and are ready to go in. They are about at a depth around 2,60O feet.
 Rock No. 8 of the Magnolia is about 150 feet off the pay at 3,350 feet. Two new locations of the Sin clair Gulf in the Gunsight territory offset the Sammies Oil corporations Thorpe. The south offset is the G. W. Thorpe ,272 feet west and l75 feet south of the northeast corner of the tract; the east offset is the J. T. Watson 19O feet east and 175 feet north of the southwest corner of the tract. Other new Sinclair locations all in the south Caddo field are J. w. Wells No. 5, 332 feet south and 29l feet west of northeast corner, No. 6, 704 feet south and 274 feet west of the northeast corner.

it's lower end. In some such way as this the skillful driller produces oscil. lations in the drill bit, which throw the sharp beveled edge of the drill on to the rock, with high velocity. The only means that the driller has of knowing the behavior of the drill is the general behavior of the machin- cry and the slight impulses or tre- mors in the cable, which he detects by his hand alone.
 Deep Drilling is Instructive.
 The information obtained from drill holes carried to great depths is of exceptional economic and scientific importance Although the wells drilled by the Hope Natural Gas com pany and the Peoples Natural Gas company, have not yet reached the goal sought--a depth of 5000 feet they have, nevertheless, come within 42l feet of the goal, and incidentally they have established the fact that no valuable deposits of oil exist in the immediate vicinity of the wells at depths somewhat greater than 1000 feet.
 Whats in the Interior of the Earth?
 The materials and the conditions in the interior of the earth have long been a favorite subject of specula- tion among scientific men. Accord ing to the modern mathematical theory of the propagation of earth quake waves through the earth the outer rocky shell of the earth, which is about two and one-half times as heavy as water, extends to a depth of less than 1000 miles. Inside of this shell is some material. probably metallic, which is more than five times as heavy as water Estimates of the temperature at the center of this nucleus range from 5000 to 18O,- 900 degrees F.. but these figures have little or no value, for mathematicians have not yet found the law of the distribution of temperature from the surafec of the center of the earth. The temperature evidently increases with the depth, fact again confirm ed by an elaborate series of observa- tions of temperature made in each of the three deep wells, the Geary, the Golf, and the Lake, by c. E. Van Orstand, of the United States geo. logical survey, department of the in terior. In each of these wells the temperature at depth of 100 feet is about 55 degrees F. and gradually rises with increase in depth, reach ing 142.0 degrees F. in the Geary well at depth of 6,100 feet, 1893 degrees F. in the Golf we'll at depth of 7,31O feet, and 168.6 degrees F. in the Lake we'll at a depth of 7,500 feet The observation at depth of 7,500 feet in the Lake we'll was made at the deepest point yet reached by any observer.
 Unexplained Enormous Heat.
 The source of the enormous quan- tity of heat stored in the interior of the earth is not known. Some writ CTS think this heat is due to the dis integration of radium in the rocks,

Prairie Brings in More Producers
 In Ranger Field

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 18.-The number of recent completions have been reported from the Ranger field The Prairie Oil and Gas company has just brought in two more producers on the E. Roper tract west of Ranger The company's No. 5 on this tract is showing for 800 barrels daily from the lower Ranger sand at depth of 3,470 feet. The Roper No. is mak- ing about 1,5O0 barrels from the up- per Ranger sand at 3,27O feet. It IS probable each of these wells will be drilled deeper.
 The Parton No. of the Monitor Oil and Gas company in the Olden district and near the Connollee and Cotton leases is showing for between 500 and 500 barrels from the lowest sand at about 3,460 feet. The -Connollee No. of the Mag. nolia Petroleum company, also in the Olden district, is showing for about 1 900 barrels. The Butler No. 10 of the Texas & Pacific Coal and Oil company, west of Ranger on the J. E. Butler 900-acre lease, is making HOO barrels.
 The Emma Terrell No. 8 of the Prairie Oil and Gas company, west of Ranger, has been shot with 50 quarts of nitroglycefin at below $500 feet and is now making 400 barrels of oil daily.

INVESTORS GET RANGER LEASE
 FOR S500,OO0
Eastern Capitalists Obtain Con- trOl of Part of Stuart
 Holdings.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 18.-One of the largest leasing deals ever pulled off in Texas was consummat ed at Strawn when J. Stuart and sons leased 870 acres of their hold ings to Denver and Eastern capital ists for a sum amounting to $5O0,- 900.
 This land lies about seven miles northwest of Strawn and is partly in Palo Pinto and partly in Steph- ems counties. It is on a line between the city of Strawn and the famous Caddo pool, which it practically joins. There is good shallow production on both sides of the lease. A new com pany has been organized to develop the lease-the Strawn Petroleum syndicate.
 The above transaction is but anoth- CT pointer as to the value that oil men place on the Strawn field. It is in the locality of this lease that rigs have been ordered for something like fifty locations to be built as fast as material can be secured.
 The Mid-Kansas, the Sinclair, the Pierce-Fordyce and the Texas Pacific all big companies, have a producing we'll each on the Satterfield ranch three and half miles west of Strawn The production ranges from 600 to 1,500 barrels.
 The Palo Pinto Oil company has a deep test few miles west of Strawn drilled to depth of nearly 5000 feet. It also has producing wei on it's property, making several hun dred barrels daily.

others think that the earth is a cool ing globe, radiating heat developed during condensation from the origin al nebula, and others think that it is due to various causes, such as radio activity, chemical reactions, impacts from meteorites, or condensation from nebulous material,
 Some Results of Deep Drilling.
 The strata of lime, slate, and sand penetrated by these deep wells were originally sediments deposited from ocean water. A bed of ocean water was actually found in the Geary we'll at depth of 6,260 feet. pr. I. c. White, State geologist of West Vir- ginia, with whom the United States Geological survey is cooperating in these investigations, is of the opinion that this water is fossil ocean, i'm prisoned since mid Paelozoic time. Interesting evidence in regard to the geologic history of the formations was obtained by Charles Butts, of tAe United States Geological survey, wfo identified a number of fossils from depths of 7,187 to 7,355 feet in the Golf well. The material from the Lake we'll has not yet been fully ex- amined. It may be possible by ex- amining the fossils to determine the geologic ages and horizons of the beds penetrated and so to estimate the depth at which the Clinto sand shoul die beneath the bottom of this well. The we'll probably does not pass through more than onehalf the total thickness of sediments in this region.

margin of 231 feet. In comparison with these great depths, other depths reached by wells or mines sunk in the crust of the earth are rather in- significant. The deepest mine in the
 world is shaft No. 3 of the Tamarack mine, in Houghton county, Mich, which has reached depth of 5,200 feet. Other shafts of the Tamarack company and of the Calumet and
 Hecla mine, in the Lake Superior region, reach depths between 4,OOO
 and 5000 feet. Three shafts in the have reached depths of about $500 feet. The Victoria quartz mine, at Bendigo, Australia, is 4,300 feet deep. A number of shafts in the Transvaal gold region of South Africa have been sunk to depths of about 4,O00 feet.
 Limits to Depths of Mines and Wells.
 The depth to which mining shaft
 can be sunk is limited by the heat of the rocks, as the temperature at a depth of mile in nearly all parts of the earth is so high that workmen can not live in it, even with ventila- tion. The depth to which we'll six inches in diameter can be drilled seems to depend chiefly on skill in drilling and strength of cable. The cable itself is heavy, and besides car rying it's own weight and the weight
 of a drill, which weighs one or two tons, it must bear strains produced by vertical movements of the drill, which may be so great as to break it at any moment, so that the drill and a part of the cable may be lodg- ed in the well in such way that they
 can not be removed. Exceptional skill is required, therefore, in operat- ing the ponderous machinery used in drilling we'll. The drill, which is column of steel about five inches in diameter and 40 or 50 feet long, bev- eled to V-shaped edge at the lower end. is attached to one end of the
 cable. and at some. other point, de termined by the driller, the cable is
 attached to a long beam, which is operated in the same manner as the walking beam of steamboat. Merely to lift the drill through the height determined by the swing of the end
 of the walking beam and to let it drop repeatedly would do no drilling.
 In order to drill, oscillations must be
 induced in the cable, such as those
 set up by attaching a light weight to
 suspended rubber band. A light
 oscillation properly included by the
 finger at the upper end of the rub
 Der band will produce a very large oscillation of the weight attached to

even the casual lookey-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ

The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
