PUMPS 30 BARRELS
Small Producer Near Kingsyille Sup

Kingsville.. Tex, Sept. 22.-Humble
well No. l which for the last several
days has been undergoing repairs, was
again put on the pump this week and
is reported making 30 or more bar
rels of good grade of oil each "a
hours, enough to supply fuel for the
boilers being used in the drilling of
kissman No. 1 by this same company.
Gas which was struck in the latter
well at depth of about 224O feet.
has continued to give trouble and all
efforts to come out of the hole with
the drill have been of no avail. Drill
ing has continued until the well is
now around the 1900 foot depth. an
other heavy gas stratum having been
encountered in addition TO the one
found at 2260 feet.
1t is understood that an effort will
be made this week TO come out of the
hole with the drill. The gas is report
ed to be as heavy as any gas that
has been encountered in this field
and of good quality, but the Humble
Company is not prospecting for gas
and will case IL off if possible.

REFINERY IS OPENED
Miske Plant Makes Initial Run Dur
E ing Week.

Miranda City, Tex, Sept. 22.-The
Miske Refinery located just outside
the east limits of Miranda City made
its initial run Thursday. This re-

and is owned by the o. W. Killam in
terests which are the Miranda Oil
company, Schott Oil company, Killam-
Condren Oil company. Miami-Laredo
Oil company and the Nueva Oil COM
pany.
The actual construction work was
started on the refinery in February
under the direction of S. T.. Coblentz,
who is secretary and general super
intendent of the plant. The plant
was to have been ready to start in
July but was delayed on account of
the slow delivery of pumps and
machinery. The Miske Refinery is
under the same management as the
Texpata Pipeline company and main
tains head offices in Laredo. Ter
minal facilities have been arranged at
Port Arkansas. The management is
expecting a big year of business.
The Miske refinery will manufac-
ture zero test lubricating oil, gas nd
fuel oils. These products will find
a ready market in tank car lots
throughout the east and north Of the
United States. The Miranda crude
is of high grade Tub content and its
oils rank among the best of the
lubricating oils manufactured in the
country.
The officers and directors of the
MiSkO Refinery are O. w. killam,
president; Colon Schott, vice-presi-
dent; S. p. Coblentz, secretary; W.
Il. Killam, treasurer and Jcob Kles,
director. All of the above live in
Laredo with the exception of Colon
Schott and Jacob Klcs, who reside

feet and after going 10 feet in the
sand, brought in what is thought TO
Production is estimated at 5000 bar
rails. The well was running wild
Monday and considerable water
trouble was being encountered, but
plans were being made to shut off
this water with packer. -Four other
competitions were reported from Lul-
ing.
Oklahoma shows n decrease os $50

with 42S,570 barrels of last week.
Despite Burbank's apparent tentency

in the state. with the expception of
Wewoka in Seminole county, shows
a decline. Little drilling activity is
reported.
Kansas Production OFF.
Production in Kansas shows a de-
cline Of something like 1000 barrels
Louisiana shows an increase OF
1880 barrels over last week. There
were few compilations, however. and
the state as a whole remains quiet.
Arkansas took a decided jump in
production due to revival of &C.
tivity at Smackover. Out of total
of fl compilations there were % new
producers, bringing the total produc-
ton of the state up to 129,040 barrels
over 124,1S5 barrels during the week
before. The possibility of an extern
sion of the stephens field to the north
and east is suggested by a good show

Trends of Paris La,Dmaker
Want Him to Make

Austin, Tex, Sept. 22.-State Sen
ator H. L. Darwin of Paris, Lamar
county, who spent some time here on
personal business. may yet enter the
race for the governorship of Texas.
He so indicated during his stay here
when he announced that he will not
run for reelection as state senator
from his district. nor will he make the
race for lieutenant governor of Texas.
Since adjournment of the Thirty
eighth Legislature. friends of Senator
Darwin have been urging him to enter
the gubernatorial handicap, believing
that he can win.
Senator Darwin at the last session
of the Legislature led the flght
against the textbook contracts in the
Senate.
1t is also generally known that he
is anti-klan. and the klan question
will more than likely be an issue IN

BLUE SKY LAW PUTS
DANPER ON CHARTER
PERMITS BY STATE
Misunderstanding of Aci
Blamed for Marked
Slump.

Austin. Tex, Sept. 2f.-During the
past ten days there has been a marked
slump in the number of new corpora
tions chartered in the secretary Of
states department which is causing
some speculation among officials in
that and other state departments.
The most generally accepted cause
is the blue sky law with its drastic
provisions.
From the communications being
daily received by the new blue sky di-
vision of the secretary of states de-
partment, it is evident that persons
proposing to incorporate in almost
any kind Of business enterprise, are
laboring under the impression that
they come within the provisions OF
the blue sky law.
While Secretary Of State Staples
has not as yet received an official
opinion from the attorney general :
department constituting various tea-
lures of this law, Mr.. Staples is in
clined to the view that the blue sky
law applies only when a concern offers
stock for sale, but when three or more
persons form a corporation and sub
scribe for all the stock, such a CON
Germ would not be required TO obtain
a permit under the blue sky law.

Lockhart, Tex. Sept. 22.-An ex-

out of Oilfield Station, a solid train
of oil destined for various points over
the state. While a large quantity of
the oil from Caldwell county goes into
the refineries, still there is a steady
demand for oil from the industrial
plants throughout the state and as a
result, the owners of the wells are
being able to dispose of all the oil from
their wells for fuel. The Grayburg
has in storage two $1,000 tanks and
the Magnolia has in storage five 55.-
600 barrel tanks, which is about all
the oil stored here.

GOnLa1es, Ten. Sept. 22-The WHIT
tlesey well. located about seven miles
north of this city near Slayden. is
arousing considerable interest. 1t is
stated that the prospects for a big
strike are growing better with every
foot that the drill penetrates.
The well is now down over 2SI5 feet,
in a hard formation, having just
passed through more than 25'feet of oil
sand. The drillers' are confiC,nt that
they have located the right spot, over a
good pool of oil and it is only a ques.
ton of drilling a few feet more until
they make well. All preparations
are being made and every possible pre-
caution is being taken for the recep-
ton of a gusher.
