WILL DEEPEN
SCHOTT 8 At
MIRANDA CITY
Expect Producer Equal to
Any Of the Best Bay
Wells in Pool.

Leaseholders No. 6 De-
clared as Good as Any
Other Well on Lease.

Miranda City, Aug. ia contrac
was made last week til W. W. Aller
to drill the Schott No. 8 deeper. Thi:
well was the second well to be brought
in in the famous Schott pool oe Webb
county which really brought about the
big development. The Schott No. 2
was the discovery well, but it came in
A bigger gasser showing some oil and
the No. 5 was drilled to the south asst
1000 feet and for long time it was
thought this well marked the southeast
edge of production in the Schott field
on account Of its small production in
comparison with other wells immedi-
ately north.
Some four months ago the Bay Oil
and Gas Company brought in well as
good as any in the Schott pool and il
lies more than 1000 feet south of the
Schott No. 3. They drilled three other
wells due west of the Bay No. l and
all equally as good wells. Thus the
south line of the Schott pool has not
been reached.
Now Schott Oil Company officials
believe that they will pick up a Sec
ond sand which will make as good a
well as any of the Bay wells Vhich is
the reason for drilling the well deeper
at this time. The tools were set up
early this week on the Schott No. 3.

The casing was recemented In TINS well
to cut out the water which is coming
In from above. This well was cement
ed two weeks ago at a depth of 14io
feet and failed TO set properly. The
well is plugged fourteen feet below the
point Where the casing is set
Gas Is Encountered.
Several gas sands were reported
picked up in this well which was
drilled TO a total depth of $3.50 feet
The No. of the Leaseholders Pro

which is a deep test welk
The No. & is to be drilled to deptf
of $3.50 feet. This well cored a ricl
oil sand two weeks ago at from 105:
feet to 1O11 feet, being the same SAINT
from which the discovery well of tn,
field is producing. The discovery vel
is located west on the No. 6, dis
lance of 300 feet. The sand in the dis
coyery well was picked up at 104S fee
and drilled into for two feet only. .
Should the No. Z pick up this sam
