GAS in NO. | DAVIS
Well Of Kittles, Kean and Associates
in Caldwell County Looks Favorable

Lockhart. Tex, Oct. 27.-The No.
Davis of Kittles, Kean and associ-
ates. about twenty miles east Of Lock
hart. is drilling at around 500 feet,
which depth n good showing of gas
is reported. Considerable interest is
manifested in this well by several of
the major companies. a few of these
having holdings in this area.
Biologists predict that production
will be found in the TaylorNavarro
formations, which is the horizon OF
production both at Minerva and Son.
erset. 1t is figured that production
in this formation will be found some
where between these two proven fields.
The fact that good showings of oil
and gas were found in the TAYLOR
Navarro in the Soda Springs well re.
Gently is an indication, oil men say,
that somewhere nearby will be found
the connecting link OF another field
mi the Taylor-N Kittles. Kean
and associates will make another test
about nine miles northeast of the No,
l Davis.
In the Davis we'll they have passed
through about 80 rect of gumbo and
fossil and are now drilling in the
hardest of gray limestone. on which a
fishtail bit had little effect.

Week.

Houston, Tex, Oct. '27.-At last
reports the Gulf Coast section con-
tinues to hold its own from a crude
price standpoint with little indication
that the 25-cent cut made by the
Gulf Pipe Line company last week
will be met by the other large pur-
chasers any time in til. near future.
Field activity in the section has
diminished to the point where there
is no need of worry of over-produc-
ton. With the possible exception of
outside developments little of interest
is now being manifested in this part
of the producing country. Few COM
pletions and comparatively small
wells are the order of the day.

twelve wells were finished of which
eleven proved commercial producers:

attempt TO shut out the water and

Should the packer fail to shut out
the water it will be removed from the
well and string of five and three-six-

hard white lime rock around 5000 feet

1t is the opinion OF r. Slocum. gem

that the water is coming in above the
rock judging from the fact that when
the bailer is run TO the bottom of the
hole it comes UP with mud and il run
then brought to the top.
Both c. r. Cole and Dudley Tying.

MAKES QUICK CHANGE
Border Gas Company Cuts in Mile OF
Main i'm Quick Time.

Laredo, Tex, Oct. 27.-The city OF
Laredo is furnished with gas from the
fields about 40 mi.s to the east, anu
every now and then something hap
Dens that requires the patching up OF
the gas main west of Plscaditto where
the different lines from the many
fields converge.
Wednesday a mile of main a few
miles west of Piscaditto was cut III
without disturbing the supply of gas
in Laredo and in fact. no one out
side the main offices of the gas corl-
pany in Laredo even knew of the in
10 Eruption. if such could be called an
interruption.
1t took Just exactly one minute and
fifty seconds to do the job of breaking
the main and cutting in mile OF
new line. That is quick work, but
the world record is held by the Bor-
der Gas Company. for on former oc-
casion down in Zapata county when
it cut in a strip of new main in 5s
seconds.
Little do the residents of city
know about their supply Of fuel and
they are never interested until some
thing happens to the service mains
and in this respect it is safe to say
that the Border Gas Company main
| tains as good service as any gas COM
pany in the South. 1t has many miles
of large gas mains stretched out across
the plains east of Laredo and it keens
| its property under constant surveil-
ance and so wrll-timed is its service
that it detects defects Immediately and
the remedy is instantly applied.
Could the PEOPLE of Laredo be able
70 look on a large map of Webb and
Zapata counties they would be amazed
nj the expanse of territory that the
Border Gas Company covers in con-
viewing gas into this city.
