WELL IN MEDINA
COUNTY REPORTED
MAKING 5 BARRELS
Scouts Say Taft-Tex Well
at Chacon Lake Pro-
=, ducing Oil.

Scouts who have recently visited the
Taft-Tex well at ChacOn Lake IN Me,
dina county. report a five-barrel well
now ON pumn on that location. rms
well was completed at a depth OF lO4U
feet about December 10. hye-inch
liner being set and pump and JACK
installed. At that time the oil How
amounted to but two or three barrels
but continuous pumping since then mas
increased the flow until it is now stated
to he making at least five barrels, 1t IS
said Persons familiar with this drill
ing are of the opinion that the. circu..
lation of heavy mud at the time oil
discovery of oil may have checked the
potential flow.
DriIIer Dickson. who has taken
charge of the work since II. NJ. Wal:
lace was obliged to quit on account OF
illness. announced that arrangements
are being made to drill second well
on a nearby location utilizing the oil
from the first well for fuel.
This discovery, if it stands M to the
production now claimed for it, is OF
considerable importance as bearing on
the possibilities Of a real commercial
production in Medina county where
considerable scattered drilling has been
done in the past. The oil possibilities
of Medina county were made the sub
iect Of a report by the State Universe
". in Bulletin 1850, but until the dis
cpyery in the Chacon Lake well no
commercial production has been report
ed. The oil found here is said TO be
light in quality but no tests OF it have
been made public.
Considerable credit for the compile
ton Of this well is due TO citizens of
LaCoste. The well was shut down and
reported to have been abandoned last
summer when the original lessees left
the premises. At that time local citi-
zens assumed charge Of operations with
the result that drilling was renewed
and completed.
Drilling on the Groves well three
miles north Of Devine was reported last
night at go feet in gumbo. drilling
having been delayed by some 20 fee
of hard rock at different depths anC
by fishing job. Fishing was finished
| Saturday when the hole was cleaned
40 feet of new hole having been made
| since then.
At YanCy the Fritz Fuchs interest,
have announced the drilling Of a fourth
well. This is in the south centra
part Of Medina county in a regior
where several attempts have been mad,
to drill a deep test. Gas and oil shows
have previously been encountered but
thus far drilling has not passed about
1000 feet, considerable water being en-
countered at depths from 500 to 400
feet on each of these locations.

FOUR NEW WELLS
AT HULL SETS LEAD.
FOR COASTAL FIELDS
Yount-Lee's "Big One" Is
Credited With $4,000
Barrels a Day.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 2O.-Of the
twelve COMPETITIONS last week in the
Texas Gulf Coast fields, four of them
were at Hull, the most active pool IN
the district at this time. None OF the
new Hull wells were large ones, but
the Yount-Lce Oil COmpany's No. o
Merchant is producing sufficient oil Tor
some of the others 20 be small pro-
ducers. Yount-Lees big One" has in
creased its flow until around the mid
die of the week it was making at least
1900 barrels day.
The Hull pool for the week ending
January IL, produced at daily aver
age of 1925 barrels, exceeding West
Columbia by nearly 1900 barrels a
day. Even without the big well this
field would be producing more than the
old standby, West Columbia. The Gulf
Production Company's No. is Morris
Phillips, is flowing 200 barrels of pipe
line oil at 1000 feet and the same
company's No 8 Hanah when placed
ON the beam made so barrels a day at
HOO feet. Houston Production Com
pany's No. 4 Abel is making 80 barrels
at 24S0 feet and Yount-Lee Oil Com
pany's No. Riviere is failure at
2640 feet.
At Goose Greek, the Gulf Coast
Crowns No. 81 Gaillard is flowing 400
barrels from 1900 feet, and the Turn
bow Oil Corporations No. o Schilling
is at last producer, making 1000 bar
rels of oil day at $500 feet. The own
er of this well deserves some oil, since
so much trouble has attended the drill
ing. The Gulf Production Company
worked over its No. 16 Wright for 100
barrels at 2400 feet in this field.
At Barner's Hill, s. ]. Hindman's No.
1 Collier is flowing % barrels of %
gravity oil at 500 feet and will go on
the beam. In the same field the Texas
Company's No. 2 Barrow, which some
time ago was a completion at 303S feet
for 1900 barrels, has quit flowing and
is being drilled deeper. United Petrol
cum Company's No. s Richardson, n
pumping well, is off production while a
new screen is being set. Humble's No.
b. & f. tested dry at 316O feet and
will drill deeper.
The Freeport Sulphur Company has
made location for No. IL Dannenbaum
at Stratton Ridge, practically an off
set to No. 0 Dannenbaum-Tolar. which
proved the new pool and finally lost the
hole.

NEW SMACKOVER WELL
Additional Territory Yields 15,OOO.bar.
rel Well.

Houston, Tex, Jan. 20.-Dying hope
was revived at Smackover during the
week when a 15,000-barrel well was
completed in untested territory south
west of Smackover, extending the light
oil territory about one and half miles.
Several of the larger companies have
close-in leases and drilling will pick up
in hurry in this part of the Smack
over district.
But the old heavy oil area Of the
Smackover field is falling and falling
fast. Many of the wells are being placed
on the pump and number of the older
wells have quit. Much production can
still be expected in this area for some
time to come. as the bumpers should
have a fairly long life.

AT SOMERSET SOON
Few Average Wells on
Pump Last Week and
Others Cemented.

Somerset. Tex, aJn. 2O.-Although
few new wells were put on the pump
here this week, many others came near
er being made into producers as re-
suit of the weeks drilling activities. 1t
is expected that next week will see a
number of wells put on the pump and
indications are that they will be good
wells.
The Grayburg Oil Company, as has
been expected, has closed down some
of their rigs for the winter months,
but are expected to resume their reg
ular drilling schedule after Febru-
airy. At present, they have only eleven

Empire Oil & Gas Company's No. 8
Carruthers, on pump, making an aver
age production.
Mcclure and Eggers are bailing on
their No. o Klemcke. In this same part
of the field the Danville Oil and Gas
Company's No. . Fries is being placed
on the pump. Indications are that it
will be a producer of the average type.

completion and thoroughfares badly
torn up and traffic disrupted is about
n thing of the past. Two of the main
streets were completed within the past
ten days and inspections and approyals
have been going on this week, The
continued drouth is delaying the top
ping of some of the streets as no rnin
has fallen on the base since it was put
down and engineers are not willing TO
risk the application of water from

will not be completed until after rain
falls. All but two of the main traffic

Service Now Gains Friends.

1t is also known in Washington that
shortly after the war under the pres
sure of continuing assaults by the no
army and no-navy folk, and particular
Iy by the no-gas folk, some of the rank
ing officers of the military arm be-
Iieved that the chemical warfare serv-
ice should be abolished. and it is I'M
derstood they so recommended. It
was saved only after strong effort.
The benefcent results obtained from
the continued life of the service have
apparently won it friends all over the
United States except in the ranks Of
those who unknowingly found Tar
tar when they made General Fries a
target for attack.
So it is that the chemical warfare
service is going along today in its
work with Amos A. Fries, the unafraid,
at its head. It is known to be true that
the service can produce today some
thing which would offset any attack
By poison gas which war enemy of
the Republic might make, but it is also
known, and this ought to be of much
greater Importance to the public, that
the beneficent uses of gas have been
multiplied ten fold since the chemical
warfare officers and enlisted men start
ed their renewed work of Investigation
after Armistice day.
1t was eight years and a few weeks
ago that the Germans first used gas in
the World war. The British troops
and some French troops with them on
April %, 1915, saw great gray cloud
coming down on them wind-borne
across No-Man's land near Ypres. They
were totally unprepared and as soon as
the cloud reached them were put out

Vim and VigOr of Youth
 In African Bark "
Scientist Produces an Invigorator Superior to Gland Treatments-- Wonderful Power of a Bark
 From Africa.

Have you lost your youth, vigor and 'pep?" Does life seem dull and work a grind? Don't worry. Science has pro- duced a new formula said to be superior even to the much discussed gland treat ments. Many men and women are now quickly and easily regaining lost vim. vigor and vitality in the privacy of their homes.
 The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be a most remarkable invigorator Combined with it are other efficient tonic and vitalizing clements of proved merit. n many cases the compound produces marked improvement in 24 hours. In a short time the vitality is usually raised, the circulation improved and the glow of health is felt in every part.
 The laboratories producing this new vitalizer. which is called Re- Bid Tabs. are so confident of its power that they have authorized the Greene Drug Go. to sell a S2 box at the special introductory price of s1 for the next five days, and on the guarantee that it will give results in 24 hours or your money back. If your local druggist cannot supply you, write to Re- Bild Laboratories, Kansas City, Mo, or to the Greene Drug Co.,, Birmingham, Ala Adv.
