ton INCREASES; 4 new TESTS

must begin on this we'll within about
three weeks. Another well is to be
drilled in the neighborhood Of this
test. but the exact location has not
been determined.
Derrick timbcrS are being cut for
the we'll on the Coleman tract which
is located north of town and north OF
the Fields test in 1925. This is the
second we'll to be drilled on this tract
and the present location is made about
go yards northeast of the first we'll.
All this activity is the result of a
report on the geology of this section
by Edward Knox Elder, geologist
of Tulsa, Okla, for the Orleans Pro-
ducing & Refining Company which has
had the support and cooperation OF
the landowners Of the yincinity IN
blocking sufficient acreage to warrant
thorough testing. Elders survey re-
ports some Of the most promising III
dications for oil in this part Of tn
state. and there is much discussion OF
the anticipated discovery, regarded
certain because of this report and the
towns location half way between
Shreveport, the oil center, on the west
and Monroe. the gas center, on the
east; also because of its location half
way between the Homer and Red
Red River producing areas, with
