DAILY REVIEW OF OIL OPERATIONS
FROM LEADING FIELDS OF STATE

FORT WORTH. Jan. Already
the drills again are pounding away
"a all sections OF the North Central
+ Texas fields. and despite the great
record ~ 1919. the new years opens
I with prospects OF still greater
achievements for the North Texas
fields. During the latter part OF
the week larger number of compile
tons resulted from the renewal OF
activities following the holiday sea.
son, but this is regarded as merely
"a forerunner Of the great white.
and spring drilling campaign that is
nov starting.
II is believed that practically all
of the proven territory Ia the older
sections Of the Ranger Eastland
field will be- drilled up during this
calendar year and IL is possible that
the daily average production Of that
territory even may be increased over
the present low. although opera
tors viii be very we'll satisfied II
they ca nhold It up TO that standard
during the year. OF course there il
the natural decline in the production
per well IN this territory. but with
the constant addition OF new areas
To production, Il Is more than likely
that the field will fully hold its own.
Just at this time the Pleasant
Grove district continues To spread In
two directions. to the southwest and
10 the north. The latter extension
has been afforded By the Dooley and
Sumrall wells OF the State OH Cor
poration and the Dooley well OF the
Duquesne oil Company. an OF which
are giving indications OF becoming
big producers To the southwest the
new territory has been added by the
the Peel No. Of the States oil
which has taken the production 20
within three and one-half miles Of
the town Of Eastlsnd.
In addition to these definite ex-
tensions there are other prospects
for the opening OF new territory
more closely surrounding Eastland
and there can be- no doubt but that
the producing areas in that section
have not vet been clearly defined.
II also must be remembered that
the Webb well Of the Syndicate oil
Company and other favorable tests
on line between Eastland and the
Desdemona field 10 the south have
opened up a grea, realm OF possible
ties In that direction that will re-
ouire months To test out Altogether
there seem to be more definite indi-
cations that a wide strip OF territory
extending entirely across the county
will eventually develop into chain
OF oil pools OF varying size that will
make the production almost contin-
ucus,
In the northern par, of tho county

founi at from 1890 10 2.0o0 feet.

tracing still greater attention.
Amarillo daily news. [volume] (Amarillo, Tex.) 19??-current, 1920-01-04

Is due TO all these facts that all
Eastland county will enjoy It's most
intensive drilling campaign during
the coming year. There are now
more than 1893 drilling wells. and
about 500 other rigs aud locations on
which drilling will start in the near
future.
stephens county also will enjoy
ITS record year during the ensuing
twelve months. q also has develop
eed tremendous stretches of potential
OIL territory. in the various COM
munities where good shOwings for
oil have been found. and PROCESSES
eventually to have the largest area
OF producing territory than any SINH
lar area in the country. What
stephens county needs now more
than anything else is an improved
system Of transportation. and this
railway projects now pending soon
will give the county fairly good
rail outlet.
The part OF stephens county that
Is Just now holding the center OF the
spotlight Is that Immediately sur
rounding the new Baggett well OF
Greenwood a Terrell. which recent
" drilled into good production at
5.225 feet, near Gunsigh;. II is
far from any other deep production.
IN either the Eastland or stephens
county pools ana Is now the center
OF great activity. II is there that
the big drilling campais OF
stephens county will take place for
the next few months.
In the Buskburnett field develop
ment Is proceeding steadily. with no
sensational developments. but the
production of the field is slowly
gaining as the operations OF new
pipe lines are getting under way.
There Is some promise Of the
opening OF another pool in Wichita

well OF Grisdale A Eriskeon. one

and one-half miles northwest OF
Wichita Falls. II has been showing
oil for some time but now Is deelar-
ed to be- definitely producing some
oil wit hthe use Of the bailer.
In the wildcat territory there are
no important developments except
for shows OF oil and gas here and
there. These are not to be taken
as sure indications OF production.
but are likely To be found In all
parts OF North and West Texas.
However. there Is always the posi-
bility tina, such finds will lead 10
the opening OF new pools.

WHITE HOUSE SILENT

The day may be chill and the skies overcast but the victim is meri- cessly subjected to the ordeal of the lens, in order that the paper-reading or movie-going public may be regaled later with his image.

 The sick in their unbelievable rags were lying around on the floors-bun- dies of unimaginable wretchedness The doctor was not doing anything at all for them. What could he do? He had not so much as a single ounce of medicine of any kind.
