ANOTHER OIL WELL
 IN NEAR FL DORADO
COnstantin No. Two Comes in With a Flow Estimated at 100
 Barrels.

Fl Dorado, Jan. 1.-The Constantin Refining 'Company's No well two and one-half miles from Fl Dorado, came in at S:30 o'clock this morning with a flow of oil estimated at 100 barrels day. For several minutes the well flowed at the rate of ap- proximately 5000 barrels a day, aci cording to Cleve Love, the driller, but it steadily decreased. A flow of 100 barrels was the most conservative es- timatel of several we'll known oil men. Tho gas pressure is considerably weaker than that of the Constantin No and the Home we'll when they. came in. The flow also is free from water and mud, according to / Love. The driller had prepared for the com ing in of the we'll and was ready to place it under control immediately. The we'll is 2,244 feet deep, ,Ad was spudded in two months ago. It is 500 feet north and 300 feet west of Constantine No. 1.
 The flow at the Constantin No. today was reported to be about IS barrels a day. The Home well also is giving up some oil,
 A test at the Quaker we'll east of Ell Dorado, probably will be made next week, it was said today The delayed arrival of carload of cas- ing necessitated short shutdown at the we'll Drilling will be resumed at the Brown we'll near Gallon within a short time. The we'll is down about 1,500 feet.

 Most of the cotton was of long sta pie, such as the growers of the Scott community have specialized in. for the last soceral years.
 Y The loss is practically covered by insurance carried with Eastern firms, for which the Union and Z Mercantile Trust; Company is acting as agents.
 The warehouse was a frame build ing built several years ago by the Scott Cotton Growers Association. It was owned by the Scott Cotton Grow ers' Association, of which J. R. Alex ander is president, and was under the management of Hugh T. Brown, sec retary of the association.
 The destroyed cotton represents practically the entire crop for 1920 from the plantations of the Scott community and it was being held off the market by the association, whose members are among the leaders in the present acreage reduction campaign, The warehouse, was built several years ago, when the association was formed primarily to better the grade of cotton in the district and to secure better markets.
