Luling, Tex, Aug. 1.-THE Beau
champ Petroleum Company's No. ]
Fields which came in several weeks
ago with an initial production of about
100 barrels of oil daily is reported TO
have drilled below a caprock and into
a pay sand that is producing between
700 and 1000 barrels of oil daily. The
well blew in at 3 o'clock Friday after
noon. 1t is making large heads at
regular intervals and is flowing into a
field line which had been completed
with large storage tanks long before
the well neared the pay. This pro-
ducer proves considerable territory IN
the field which heretofore had been
doubtful, oil men report.
Several weeks ago this well was
drilled to a depth of 22OO feet where
in hard rock drilling operations were
suspended as officials of the Beau
champ Petroleum Company said they
were afraid of encountering sulphur
water by going deeper. The well was
then estimated TO be producing about
100 barrels Of oil daily and the hole
was in an excellent condition,
: Well Il Deepened.
Recently drilling in the No. Fields
was resumed under a new arrange
ment by Charles Anderson and VI. 1.
Danley, who moved their rig 10 this
well at around 300 feet. The hole
was deepened TO 2215 feet through a
hard caprock and into the pay. TIE
pay sand was entered about O'Clock
Friday afternoon. The well blew II
self in making an estimated iniul..
production of 200 to 1000 barrels o;
oil daily.
Even before the No. l Fields was
nearing the pay, the Beauchamp Pc
troleum Company was so confiden;
that a producer would be brought in
that il tapped on TO the National
Petroleum Company's field line here.
The well is reported flowing By
heads at regular intervals and accord-
ing to drillers, apparently is making
clean oil.
This well is located about one-halt
mile from the Royal Oil Company :
Tabor wells each of which Is making
between 1000 and 1900 barrels OF oil
daily. When the No. Fields came
in several weeks ago with a compare
lively small initial production and
Io6ked as though it would be pumper
oil men in the field began to express
doubts as TO the value Of the acre
age in that part of the field. But
when the No. l Fields blew in for the
second time and apparently is one Of
the largest wells in the field the
doubtful territory is regarded as prov
en- and the field thereby extended east
about a mile.
May Extend South. Too.
The No. l Proctor of the Seals
Creek Syndicate is reported 10 have
set casing at 213j feet. If this well
comes in for a good producer. oil men
say, the field will be extended south
several miles. This we'll is located
near the old Cartwright holes which
were drilled more than a year and
one-half ago by the United North &
South Oil Company.
!. The East & West Oil Company's
No. 1 Branyon is reported to be still
causing drillers considerable trouble
in drilling as the gas pressure is ex-
ceedingiy 4.'ong. 1t has been mudded
in several Zines but numerous blow
outs have caused SLOW drilling.

stopped anyone, from working
But the men giving the orders
claimed to be rangers" the adjutant
general was reminded.
ANYONE can claim to be ranger
but that doesn't make him one" the

TAXES NOT RAISED

Changing the charter as proposed will not
of itself increase taxes neither will the COM
1nssoners of their own volition have the right to
do so, for this reason:
Under the charter, if amended the rate for
general purposes in no event exceed $125
per $4,000 valuation. This limit has already
been reached the commissioners may themselves
reduce this rate but cannot increase it. The re-
naming S1.OO (he same as now can be used
only for special purposes, meaning interest and
sinking fund on the bonded debt. The bonded
debt cannot be increased except by vote of the
property tax paying voters first had. Therefore,
unless tax payers vote to increase the bonded
debt, the tax rate for special purposes cannot
be increased.
In other words, it is up to the tax payers
themselves to say whether taxes are made high
err or not If the charter is amended, the effect
will only be to allow tax paying voters to issue
sufficient bonds for public improvements. AS it
now is, they have not the power to do so.
