Block 40 Of the Ojuelos Grant OF
Webb county, well able to make 800
to 1000 barrels of oil on the swab and
IN the opinion of some real oil mel
who have visited the well, will &c
twice that much.
Z, This well was drilled in and bailed
dry Monday. Tuesday there was lot
feet of oil standing in the hole. The
tools were run in and the well drilled
10 a total depth of 1897 feet. The
drill stopped four feet in the sand
The we'll was bailed and swabbed and
the oil came in gushes-a wildcat had
been made over into an oil well.
The writer visited the well Tuesday
afternoon at = o'clock and the crew
was getting ready to run the bailer
and swab. At nightfall, George Fin
ley received a telephone call from the
field that he had a well good for 500
TO 1000 barrels on the swab. This
means the well will easily pump 100
barrels of oil. There is considerable
gas present and it may be possible
that this well will flow.
New Pool Assured.
The Finley & Bailey No. l is about
100 feet east of the escarpment in a
place that a man would have been
tested for sanity should he have at
tempted to get oil in this spot a year
ago. There is no use talking, the Mid
Ojuelos Structure is going TO become
one of the wonder pools of Texas. Its
length and breadth is fast surpass-
ing the famous Schott pool and it will
not be long until the production will
DE more than the SchOtt pool has ever
been. The escarpment as a mark of
The boundaries of production has been
permanently eradicated. 1t means
nothing in an oil well.
This well marks the beginning Of a
real live drilling campaign in the east
edge of the Mid Ojuelos structure and
some other venturesome person is GER
tain to step out another thousand feet
east of production and show the oil
fraternity that ehe OIL distric: in the
east side of Webb county is an i'm
mense structure of wealth capable of
becoming an empire in itself.

its No. 1 well on the pump Wednes-
day. This we'll is making around $50
barrels of oil daily and it is one Of
the best producers in the field.

most successful drilling contractors IN
this field.
Aztec to Drill.
Tho Aztec Oil Company is getting
read, 20 drill its No. 3 well on Block
40 of the Edginton subdivision of the

Test at a depth of 1919 feet.
The Hughes, Butler & McMurry
well is probably the most interesting
well in the entire MiYando district and
Is attracting much attention at this
time. Several oil and gas sands have
ben picked up in the last 1000 feet
and the last core taken showed plenty
Of reason for making the test.
SIX and tive-eighths casing is set
IN this well in cement at a depth of
2O4O feet and just below the casing
a sand was picked up which produced
q small amount of A. gravity oil and
another sand of like nature was found
at 2O6O feet. Neither sand was Of suf-
ficient capacity TO make a we'll Sew
eral other sands were cOred and the
test TO be made this week will be most
interesting and it is possible that a
producer will be brought in.
Drilling Is Resumed
:. The Laurel Deep Well Oil Company
resumed drilling last week and ex-
poets to continue now that water is
in sufficient quantities until a depth
; of 1000 feet is reached.

were then rigging up the bailer for
bailing and swabbing.
The telephone reports from the field
