Miranda City. Tex, April 2s.-It

pool in Zapata county is going to
be extended toward the southeast
With the finding Of a petroleum gasSer
by the Bosten- Miranda company in
its No. 1 well on Block l. Of Survey
60 which came in Tuesday from a
depth of 1885 feet, making 100000
cubic feet of gas.
Eight inch casing is set in this
hole at a depth of 1890 feet and six
inch is set at 1912 feet The sand
was picked up at 1915 feet and is
I twenty feet thick. There is some oil
present with the gas and the liquid
was dripping from each bailer as it
pulled out of the hole. 1t is the
opinion of many who have visited the
well that this oil will gradually in
I crease should the well be allowed 10
blow.
The sand is a hard and compact
and judging by what has been brought
TO the top it would be hard for it TO
I carry the amount of oil it should
! carry and for that reason c. f. Lang.
general manager Of the company, has
decided to drill the well deeper. His
! geologist, Frank r. Campbell. advises
him that there is every likelihood of
/ picking up a big oil sand at a great
er depth. The well will be drilled
TO 5000 feet il oil in paving quantities
is got found before that depth is
reached.
Quigg Gets Good Well.
: ]. W. Quigg and associates have
proved that the escarpment has moth
ing to do with the production of oil
in the Mid-Ojuelos field. Their No.
4 well which is right on top the
escarpment and far to the east of any
well in the field and the only produc-
ing well yet brought in east of the
escnrpment came in Monday making
about 12J barrels of oil daily.
The well is located on Block 40
Of the Ojuelos grant in the Mid
Ojuelos field of Webb county. 1t is
nearly 30 feet deeper than the other
Quigg wells just under the west face
OF the escarDment. Drilling was stop
ped after ten feet Of sand had been
penetrated. Good clean pipe line oil
is coming out of the hole.
This group of oil men has started
another well still east of the No. 4
well. Will they get another prOduc-
or: Some say yes and the acreage
in this structure is picking up in
price and talk is heard now of other
OIL men following suit and it is begin
ming TO look as though a number of
wells will be started east of the
escarpment.
Quigg ct al pointed the way and
IT may be the beginning of a big ex-
tension east all along the entire
length of the big Miranda district.
The kanoka No. ) was placed on
pump last week. This well is pump
ing $40 barrels Of oil daily BY actual
measure. The well was not swabbed
when 1t came in. 1t would probably
have flowed had it been swabbed.
Clean Out Kanoka No. /.
Ira g. Lee said that, after the
wells were thoroughly cleaned out and
put In first class shape, no further
work woSld be done on the Schott
field 4O-acre lease of the Kanoka

come as they were content with what
they are now getting and that no off
setting was now in sight.

Lbeing cleaned out. This well was the
flrst flowing we'll in this territory
and 1t created much excitement when
i,t started flowing early last spring.

flowing for almost year now and
1t mas been the most consistent pro-
ducer in the field.
