LAST WEEK AND PRODUCTION
BOOSTED TO 10000 BARRELS
But Only 10000 Barrels Are Being Shipped Daily
Four Pipe Line Companies Shipping 20 Cars
Each Daily and Fifth Piping Oil at Rate of
$4,000 Barrels and Will Begin
Loading Shortly.

Luling, Tex. Aug. 25.-With the
three competitions during the week,
all for the fields average production
\ of about 1000 barrels of oil daily,
the daily production is estimated at
between $4,000 and 10000 barrels.
About 10000 barrels are being ship
| ped from the field by, four pipe line
companies and a fifth, the Magnolia
Petroleum company. is expected to
be loading crude from its topping
plant shortly. The United North and
South Oil company is producing the
largest amount of crude, which is
about 10000 barrels daily. Two
pipe line comp; MES are contracting
for the oil produced by this company's
wells.
During the last two months hardly
a week has passed without the daily
production of the Lulins field being
raised considerably. The estimate of
$4,000 or possibly 10000 is consider
ed conservative by oil men in the
field. The Magnolia Petroleum COM
pany last week completed its field line
from the producing area to its top
ping plant east of Luling between the
Sap and the S. p. tracks. This com

rels of crude daily to its plant and
