ABNER DAVIS BUSY.
Abner Davis of Fort Worth will
drill forty acres adjoining the Bell
we'll Davis has a star rig en-,
route to the field. He also closed
for twenty acres on the Santa Fe,
where he will erect a refinery.
Davis was the busiest operator
in the field last week, securing APP
proximately 1000 acres. He leased
all OF section 8, block 54r township
4, T, p. survey, consisting of $40
acres; also 473 acres in section s,
block rs. township 4. IT. & p. sur
vey. This total of Lib acres is
located south and west of the Bell
well and takes in territory on both
sides of the Citizens well, now
drilling. Davis it is said paid an
average of 5000 an acre for this
land.
Davis also leased 5000 acres
surrounding the Zone well, which
.spudded in last week This acreage
is northeast of Pecos The Fort
Worth operator says he paid $50
to $3.50 for acreage around the
Zone.
The Fort Worth pIunger also
bought a subdivision, consisting of
sixty-one lots north of town, To-
Gated zoo yards from the Orient
hotel, the Waldorf Astoria of
Pecos. Davis believes that if the
Bell field stands the acid test, the
town of Pecos will spread north
ward. He intends to start one of
his one man refineries on this sub
division Immediately.
Davis wound up his Pecos cam
ipaign by leasing the home of
banker named Parker for three
months. with an option to buy.
Abner has great confidence in the
field and expects to make Pecos
his operating headquarters. He
informed the writer that he had
invested approximately 100000
in Pecos realty and oil property
during the week.
IF l had had that kind of money
when Ranger and Burkburnett
fields were discovered l would have
made s100,000,000," said the OPP
timistic Abner.
Pecos is busting little town,
full of enterprising business men,
