oil man OF that territory. who has been
in Ardmore during the past week in an
effort TO interest local capital In Mexia
development.
Mr. Bogardus states that operations
already developed in the territory
have proven that an extensive area
exists there, ana that az soon az pipe
line connections are made. and the
wells opened as a result. great pro-
duction will result. At the present time
he states there are two known sands
In the Mexia field The first is found
at a depth of 2e50.S000 feet and Is IL
to IA feet in thickness. producing 400
to $50 barrels. The second sand. at a
depth OF siOO-sisO feet has been found
20 be lao feet thick In some Of The
wells.
Al the present time there are no
pipe line connections and the wells
are being pinehed in. Others are held
on top Of the sands No oil Is being
shipped from the field. due to recent
announcement Of the only company
which had been taking the oil that
