Aviator pool. The No. / is drilling
below 1900 feet. The No. > was start
ed last week. Both wells are located

be an intensive one during the COM
ing few months.
DIR. A. l.. Edgington closed a deal
last week through L. Anglin, where
by block 81 of the Edgington subdiyi-
sion becomes the, property of Pierson

sideration was around $500 an acre.
Pierson and associates have drilled
some of the big gassers near Corpus

rig into the Aviator field to develop
this block of acreage.
Clean Out Two Wells.
Thomas and Parks have started on
a contract recently entered into with
the Paulton Oil Company to clean
out their two wells on block 40 of
the Edgington subdivision of the Ayia-
tor field. A Star machine is being
used, and as Thomas and Parks are
experts at this kind of work il is
likely the production Of these two
wells will be materially increased. :
The Paulton Oil Company has re-
Gently reorganized with Grady Bar
ret of San Antonio as president and
general manager. The company is in
with n capital stock of
$4,000. They own twenty acres
(north half of block 49) and two pro-
ducing wells.
The Schott Oil Company is not
through wildcatting as it has two
wells drilling off of proven structure,
one in Zapata county on survey 613,
and one in Webb county on survey
461. Drilling was started on this
last hole last week.. The well on
survey GAL is the No. 10. The Schot.
No. / was drilled "duster" on sur
vey 462 more than year ago and
the Schott No. 2 was the discovery
well of the Schott field. Ten other
wells have been drilled by the Schott
company on its lease on survey 80.
known as the Schott pool of Webb
miles southwest of the Schott field

producing wells of the Mid-Ojuelos
field.
Oil shipments out of Miranda City
are holding up around the record set
by the past months with SD cars Of
oil going out over the Tex-Mex rail-
road in March.
The production for March was not
up to other months on account of
the many shutdowns and the bad
weather. Then there were not nearly
as many compilations in March as the
preceding month. From present indi-
cations it is a certainty that the
month of April will 20 far beyond
the shipments for March.
Expect GOOD Well.
An important test will be made by
the Weber oil interests in their No.
8 well now drilling on the Holbein
ranch in Jim Hogg county. about
fourteen miles southwest of Hebron
vile. A rich sand was encountered
in the Nos. 1 and at depth of
2727 feet. but was passed up. The
stratum will be tested in the No. 3,
which is drilling at 2630 feet. Tues
day. Casing will be set at 21iS feet
and q test made.
Matt Weber, general manager. looks
for some promising results. Should
the sand not prove of sufficient COM
mercial value the well will be drilled
to a depth of $500 feet, where an oil
sand is said to have been encountered
in the Nos. 1 and ?.
j. X. Ross has hit it lucky again.
This time he gets good well for
the Ross Segunda Company in the

for the No. 3 well.
The Ross Amigos No. is drilling
in with a Star rig. This we'll is To-
Gated on survey 216S in the Schott
field. 1t will be finished up early
this week and will probably make az
good producer as the other wells
on this lease which are among the
best producers in the field. Casing
was set in the No. @ well on the
same lease.
Another test was begun in the
scutNNeseeiH pdlt VI lhe hfia'oi -,
