Luling, Tex, Oct. 6.-The compile
ton of the United North and South
Oil Company's No. 4 Tabor, the deep
er pay sand we'll of the field, and the
bringing in of the Philips Oil Com
papy's No. 1 Byrd were the principal
features of activities in the Luling
field this week.
The No. Tabor, which is said
to have encountered deeper pay sand
at an approximate depth of 2204 feet
and which had been making consider
able water along with several hundred
barrels of oil, is said to have been
one of the most important compile
tions in the Luling field since the dis
covery we'll was brought in. The
sulphur water is said to have been
cased off and the well is making about
1000 barrels of clean oil, drillers re-
port. An attempt was made, soon after
the we'll blew in from the lower depth,
to set a wall packer but apparently
it failed but casing was set during the
first part of the week and the water
cased off successfully.
Below Average Depth. -
This well is said TO be producing
from a depth 20 feet below the average
depth of the first Luling pay sand.
Several other wells which partly
turned to sulphur water soon after
they were brought in are preparing to
drill deeper in hopes of finding this
second and deeper sand.
The Philips Oil Company's No. l
Byrd on n one-acre tract probably was
one of the most remarkable compile
tions the field has ever seen. 1t was
drilled in eight and one-half days prior
to the day it was brought in for an
initial production estimated at 120O
barrels of oil daily.
Several tests are being made In
Guadalupe county that are expected
to extend the Luling field for a dis
lance Of from four to eight miles. The
United North and South Oil Company
is drilling four of these wells and in
one of them, last week, the No. !
Engelke. an excellent showing of oil
was reported. This well is now said
to be drilling at around 2100 feet. the
showing having been reported at 203tl
feet. 1t is said to be the deepest Of
the several tests. The Austin chnlk
in this well is said to have been en-
countered at 1926 feet. .J.

Drillers renort rapid progress in the
No. / Shanklin. the No. 1 Lynch and
the No. /. J. b. Manford. All these
wells are said to have been located
by MGtson. Donouhue and Woolsey
who have traced the Luling fault for
a distance of sixteen miles.

hope of encountering the deeper pay
sand that is believed to underlv the
entire field. The Chester Byrd No.
