NO LET-UP IN
OLDCONANCHE
Oil Production Only Awaits
Completion Of Storage
and Pipe Lines.

De Leon. Tex, March 15.-Thers is
no truth in the news that drilling has
been stopped on a number OF certain
sites in Comanche county. Here is an
instance Of what is happening;
In the county a certain company
was drilling its own well That com
pany was also under contract to drill
another well in the county for another
company in a certain time Material
for the second well did not arrive
and the company was forced TO take
the material from its own well AMI
use il to drill the well Of the other
company. As a consequence e report
spread that the first well was aban-
doned and no further explanation was
offered
The report that wells are slowing
down in production is also false
There is not storage enough for the
amount of oil being produced With
all possible haste, the Magnolia COM
pany is building tanks on its tank
farms. At present it is folly to bring
in any more wells. for their prOduc-
ton cannot be taken care Of until
pipe lines are finished For the same
reason. wells now in can not be all
lowed to flow at their natural pro-
duction rate
At present there are 100 wells IN
the county drilling. Seven good pro-
ducers have been brought in There
are three gas wells in the county and
each well produces enough gas to
supply Ell Paso for the next five years
il it was properly conserved
