1T DURING A TWO WEEKS
VIStT-DAvlS SAYS THAT
BELL WELL is A GOOD ONE
(By Abner Dav.s)

| saw the Bell well pumping and
after many days test, | am con
vinced that it is not only a real oil
well, but that it will be continuous
producer for a long time
From the oil so far produced and
actually marketed from the Bell well
and after satisfying myself from in
side and confidential sources as to the
real facts, l am prepared to believe
that the well will prove to be one of
the very great surprises to the oil
fraternity of the country. By this
do not mean for tito be inferred that
the Bell well will be a great gusher
or will make thousands of barrels of
oil per day, but I do believe that it
will be buying leases and drilling
wells in the Pecos Valley field before
many months have passed
There are many wells now drilling
on the Bell or Dixieland anticline
which was proven up by the Bell dis
covery we'll There are also many
other wells to be started as soon as
machinery can be brought in
I found number of rigs arriving
in Pecos each day and steady devel-
opment campaign can be counted for
the next year regardless of what may
transpire in the next few weeks.

these pioneers two years to learn
about the Trans Pecos country.
The Sunshine corporation is drill

the east of Pecos. The finally No 1,
another deep test, is being started
south of Pecos. While material is be-
ing assembled for at least four other

been penetrated and sand encoun-
tered

! driller and the Sunshine people be-
lieve they are mighty close to bring

They may all be mistaken as to
what the Laura well may prove to be,
but know | am not mistaken in their
sincerity and belief in the results to
be expected from this first deep well

There are those who have knocked
