PECOs BELL WELL
FLOWS OVER CASING

Pecos, Texas, March 9.-The Bell
well on the Dixie Land Syndicate. on
section 20, block 2, H. & G. N. R. R.
survey, Reeves County, twenty-three
miles north and west of Pecqs, flowed
over the top of the casing yesterday.
This well, which was brought in last
Wednesday at the depth of $50 feet,
is the first commercial discovery be-
tween Eastland and Los Angeles, Cal.
The well has not yet been put on the
pump, because Of inadequate storage
facilities, therefore, it is impossible
at present to more than calculate the
potential production. Oil operators,
who are flocking here from all parts
Of the country on every train, var
iously estimate the well from 800 to
500 barrels per day. The oil is Of
a light greenish color comparable to
the Ranger and Stephens County
crude, testing about 81 degrees Bea-
una. The oil comes from sand in
stead Of limestone as in the Ranger
Eaetland field, and it is found almost
at the top Of the Permian formation.
The strike has caused great excite
ment in and around Pecos and veri-
table stampede is taking place to the
new fields. Contracts for fifty or
more new wells were closed Monday.
Probabilities are for a field of wide
area and shallow drilling win devel-
op within radius of forty miles.
The well is about 175 miles south
Of Clovis.
