GREAT ACTIVITY IN
OIL DEVELOPMENT
Three Locations in Vicinity of Welsh
Being Tapped. Prospects
Are Encouraging.

That deep interest is being manifested
in the prospects of oil in the vicinity
of Welsh is evidenced by the presence
in the community of representatives
of number of the largest producing
companies whose custom it is not to
follow an oil boom, but to be on the
ground and in action before the big
thing comes off. Developments in the
tests being made nearby are response
bic for the presence Of these men.
Work on the Welsh Oil Corporations
we'll No. 1 on the Walter Todd lease
was resumed again Monday, following
receipt of the six inch casing. This
casing shas been set and test will
be made at the depth at present at
tanned. If developments are not salts
factory the we'll will be drilled deep
err
There is a strong pressure of gas
in the well and good indications OF
oil. Mr.. Carradine states that the
showing is the best encountered dur
ing his experience as driller He feels
confident of bringing good producing
we'll, and it may be a gusher.
The Sims Oil Company is about to
begin drilling on the P. E. Louviere
lease South of Woodlawn. They have
derrick up, machinery set and pipe on
the ground. The first Of the week
they were engaged in putting down a
water we'll and erecting fuel tank, fol-
lowing the completion of which it was
announced drilling would begin.
Messrs. S. o. Scoggins, Chas. F, Jet,
er and Chas. Hackworth are drilling
a we'll in the south part of the old
Welsh Oil Field on the ]. E. Ervine
lease. This well is about completed
and is expected to be good producer.
The well near the site of the famous
Switzer we'll which excelled all others

Gentlemen:
/ am just in receipt OF the Midland
Journal under date of September

terest the article about the Richards
Oak" which regret to learn is
showing signs of decay, but am much
gratified to know that steps are being

great pleasure to contribute to that
end, and enclosed you will find a

tribute further.
I was also much interested In Mr.

whereabouts of Mr.. Roman. AS a
young man was acquainted with
both of these gentlemen, but vas

In connection with the Richards

suggestion he passed the tree BY

matter to persuade him to make the
angle, and I am glad to be able to
come to the rescue of the tree for a
second time.
