OIL SAND IN
WEBB COUNTY
At 1880 FEET
Carolina Texas Company
Expected to Bring in Gush-
er on Barnsley Ranch.
LAREDO IS EXCITED
Acreage. Jumps as Much as
1000 Per Cent Over Night
in Some Instances.

Laredo, Tex, March 22.-The Car
olina-Texas Company, drilling on the
Barnsley ranch in central Webb coun-
ty, is in a true oil sand at 5000 feet.
The sand is heavily impregnated with
~ Scouts who flocked to the well
expect q gusher and there is a great
deal of excitement throughout the dis
trict. Even in Laredo, business men
are actively dealing in leases. Lease
prices have jumped sky-high over
night, the increases in some instances
being as much as 1000 per cent some
distant from the well. Everyone you
meet is armed with a map of Webb
county.
The correspondent of The San An
tonic light, who has been in many
oil fields and is an experienced oil
writer, has personally examined the
sand. He gives it as his opinion that
this Enthusiastically is n true oil sand
similar in all respects to the deep
producing sands found in all the great
oil fields of Texas. The Carolina
Texas drillers took core Wednes-
day and at this depth and a sample
is being analysed The sand is brown
and the oil is contained in ample
quantities TO make production in the
belief of those who saw it. 1t is
porous enough to permit easy flow of
oil. One man who visited the well
said: "There is no doubt this time,
we are going to get big production
from a deep sand in Webb county.

GASSER AT KINGSVILLE.
Humble Well Blows In Wednesday
Night, Wrecking Derrick.

KingsviIle. Tex, March 22.-The
Humble well No. 1. being drilled by
the Humble Oil & Refining company
about seven miles southeast of Kings
vine, came in big gasser Wednes-
day night. blowing out the drill stem
and almost completely wrecking the
derrick.
What was believed TO be thirteen
foot oil sand was encountered several
days ago and preparations were being
made for a test.
The heavy gas flow was encounter
ed in the Humble well at 5000 feet
or about the same depth at which the
Hart gasser blew in. The gas is said
to be of fine quality and the pres-
sure and volume as strong. il not
stronger, than any of the gas wells
which have been brought in so far in
this field.
1t is reported that there was a
considerable showing of oil in the gas
at the time the well was shut off.

Southwest Texas is at hand"
The Carolina-Texas Company has
been drilling on the Barnsley ranch
for two years, being one Of the pio-
neer companies in the DEVELOPMENT of
Webb county. Prior TO this deep test
it drilled four gassers. The last of
these, No. 4, was completed last Au-
gust and blew away the control, dam
aging the derrick and running wild
for several days before it could be
shut In. This gasser was estimated
to be making 100,000,900 cubic feet
of gas per day and is said TO have
been the biggest gasser ever drilled
in Webb county. Another gasser, the
No. 3, was estimated at 40,000,00O
cubic feet. The first gasser made
about $4,000 cubic feet. The heavy
gas was found at approximately 1000
feet. In the No. l oil was present
with the gas but did not make a well.
The Nos. >, and blew themselves
in without testing for oil and were
completed for gassers, the fuel being
used for drilling and the surplus sold
to the Border Gas Company of La
redo, which has a gathering line in
the field. This heavy gas was en-
countered in the present well at slight
ly greater depth, but the drillers were
on the lookout for it and mudded it
down but with great difficulty. 1t
was finally cased off and the hole
was sent on down. The No. was

has been visited by scouts from every
big company operating in Texas.
The CarolinaTexas Company de-
serves commentator for its systema-
tic work in that locality. 1t has been
gradually going east, working across
the eastern edge of the big escarpment
and as each well went down, addi-
tional evidences of structural forma-
lions were obtained. The Location
for the deep test was made when 1t
became apparent that a true struc-
ture had been defined.
That there is big production in
Webb county and that eventually ii
will be found whether it is secured
in this well or not, is the opinion of
many well known oil men and geolo-
gists. The Magnolia Petroleum Com
pany, the Texas Company, the En-
pire Gas and Fuel Company and va
rious other large oil companies have
bought extensively of acreage in Webb
and Zapata counties. Webb county
and the Barnsley ranch property are
due west of the Palangana salt dome
of Webb county, one of the largest
salt domes in the coastal plains where
large sums of money have been spent
in drilling and geological survey work
by major companies for a number of
years. The Barnsley ranch acreage,
however, is entirely different from the
Duval county formation, being appar-
emily at the converging point of ma
jor structure and a smaller structure.
1t is not salt dome. This region
has been looked upon as one of the
best bets" in the Miranda territory
for the last two years and practically
every foot of land for miles in all
direction is under lease.
Several 1000-barrel wells have been
completed in the Schott pool to the
south of this ranch some fifteen miles
but all of them have been at around
1900 feet.

who have the welfare of North Wild

mentioned above several very good
addresses were made by local and

WHY DO THEY GROW

From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
the three outstanding states showing
ndutsIies development ind rapid
growth in population are New York,
Illinois, and California
A recent survey of Illinois shows
that it has more users Of electric
light and pawer than any state in
the union and these users comprise
10 per cent of all electricity users
than any other state is second in
the number of industrial power US
ers and third in the number of COM
mercial lighting customers according
to the report.
OF the 10,S00,00O electric light
and power customers in this coun-
try, rs per cent were home users, IS
per cent commercial users and per
cent industrial consumers. There
are 85S,000 residential lighting GUS
toners in Illinois.
When you consider that light and
power are two of the greatest forces
for the extension of modern civiliza-
ton it can readily be seen why Hi
nois, California, and New York show
such record of growth for they are
leaders in electric power develop
ment.

THE BONUS

i There will be a determined figh
to force the Bonus through congress
! The suggestion advanced that 1.-THE
/ $4,000 who become millionaires
through profiteering during the war
be made to pay it, is not practicable
Commenting on this the Charles
town, Miss, Sun, says:
In the first place there are no
trustworthy figures &o~ show the
number who summed themselves in
the sudden prosperity of the war
But the Treasury Departments recent
ly published tables showing the
steady and steep declines of the in
come surtax" and the vastly reduced
incomes of the class of which the
indeterminate $4,000" is supposed
to be made up, proves that these
have either melted into the gen.
eral mass, or now have their savings
secure in tax exempt bonds, where
they cannot be reached by the tax
Collector.
Therefore there is no escaping the
fact that if the Bonus Bill is passed,
it will become federal tax to be
borne by all taxpayers. Estimates Of
the cost of the bonus range from
$3,30O,O0O,0 to s5,25O,OOO,OOO.
Naturally the states that furnished
the most troops, will be chief bene-
ficiaries of the Bonus.
