FIELD ACTIVITIES
IN GULF COASTAL
FIELDS AT LOW EBB
Cults Wharton County
Wildcat Is Attracting
, Some Attention.

Field activity in the Gulf Coast dis
trict continues at low ebb as the crude
oil market remains in state of I'M
certainty. Only the smallest amount
of drilling is now being carried on
and what interest is being shown in
this type of WORK is centered around
the districts which have recently given
evidence of production.
AT Big Hill in jefferson county
some attention is being paid to the
few drilling wells as o result of the
favorable showing made by the Hous-
ton Oil companys No. > Pipkin last
week which produced at the rate of
better than 1000 barrels a day.
Another section coming in for some
attention is the territory surrounding
the wild cat producer of the. Gulf
PRODUCTION company in Wharton
county. This well which came in at
the shallow depth of around 400 feet
several weeks ago and later went into
salt water, is causing much specula-
ton as to the possibilities of this dis
trict as a producer. Considerable ac-
tivtty has been registered in leases
and many large tracts have been block
cd by some of the larger operating
companies. Preparations are being
made for several more tests for this
vicinity.
A total of ten wells were finished
during the past week in the Gulf
Coastal fields. Six of the new wells
proved producers while the remain
ing four failed to malee commercial
wells and have been abandoned. The
producers had a combined initial out
put OF $50 barrels.
At Hull the Gulf Production coai-
pany's No. Pa Harrison, found tie
pay mt $50 feet and is good Sor ll.O
barrels. The same company's No. "a
Harrison is making 100 barrels at
2520 feet. in the same field. the
Eagle Point Oil company's No. 2 De-
Wore a workover, failed to get produc-
ton at 2450 feet and has been aban-
doned.
The Gulf Production company's No.
ga Lang in the Orange field is a
dry hole at 3400 feet. In the same
field the Orange Petroleum company's
No. 4 Winfree is flowing $50 barrels
at $3.50 feet. The same company's No.
s Winfree, a workover, is good for SOU
barrels Mt $500 feet. In the same
field the Brownie Babbet Oil COM
pany's No. 5 Mclean made 45O bar
red producer at 4130 feet.
The Goose Creek field accounted for
two compilations during the week
which were divided between one pro.
Queer and one failure. The Humble On
and Refining company's No. 81 Smith
Sims, a worlsover, failed to find nro-
duction and was abandoned ut 2II:l
feet. The Sun company's No. 4
Wright, a workoyer, is good for OF
barrels at 2490 feet.
At Sour Lake the Lake View Oh
company's No. 81 Hardin c. has beef
abandoned at 1000 feet.

LESS OIL SHIPPED
Miranda Shipments for September
Total SIS Cars.

miranda City. Tex. Oct. 6.-Dur-
ing September there were SIS cars of
oil to go to market from Miranda
City. This is n falling off compared
with the month previous but is by
no mears the fault of the production
as the fields today are capable of pro-
ducing twice that amount of crude.
Just as soon as the price of oil
climbs upward and the purchasers of
crude begin to realize that a shortage
of oil is likely to be upon US in the
next 30 days you will see the Mi
rando fields running at full production
and more than one train of oil leav-
ing Miranda City-per day.
Almost all storage in the field is
full and in addition the Magnolia
Petroleum Company has two $1,000
barrel tanks full of crude.

Brief Bits of
Oil Field News

Oil operators who have been look.
ing over the Luling field during the
last few days, many Of them having
visited all the fields of the Southwest,
are of the opinion that the situation
here presents several features that
presage a wonderful future. Since the
coming in OF the discovery well, a
little over n year ago, Luling as an oil
field has had more to contend with
than apy other field opened in Texas.
In the first place it was hundreds oil
miles from pipe lines and none OF the
big companies paid any. attention to
this field until the coming OF the
Magnolia Petroleum Company. After
the first of the year it looked as IL
Luling was sure to come in for big
play, representatives of the major and
independent companies were watching
the situation here with great inter.
est. then came the sensational Powell
field, which attracted most OF the
companies for they bad to protect their
interests in this field. Coming on the
heels of the Powell field, came the
prolific production of the California
territory causing overproduction and
a big cut in the price of oil. Com
panies who were ready TO enter the
Luling fields gave up their plans until
a later date. Now that production in
the Powell field is decreasing every
day and with nothing sure in extern
sions to this field, the oil scouts OF
the big companies are looking for new
fields of development and from every
indication Lulins seems to be the
place most favored.
There has been talk OF serious wa
ter trouble in the Luling fields, but
when the matter has been gone into
and real facts checked up it has been
found that there is less water trouble
here than in most of the oil fields oil
the Southwest. 1t is true that there
was some minor water troubles, but
under the supervision of Commissioner
Risen of the state railway commission
these have been checked. From tests
made at random in the field it has
been shown that more real pipe line
oil is coming from the GO producers 10
this field than equal numbers in Other
fields. Another thing to take into con-
sideration is the steady production

THEATRES
Crescent Attraction

With an exceptional EAST contain
ing four stars of worldwide fame,
Walter Rivers popular story, THE
Greater Duty" which opens today
at the Crescent theatre, has been
made into a special feature picture
which is said to be m of the most
ambitious attempts of any of the in
dependent producers this year. 1.-THE
Greater Duty" vas recognized as first
class picture material from the pro-
ducer's standpoint as soon as it made
its appearance il the world o6liter-
'ature but the fact thar it contained
what really amounts to four lead
ing characters made it a difficult
drama to stage unless it could be
done without any star. In that case
an evenly balanced cast of talented
artists would have to be selected
and the picture launched without
the name of a well recognized feat
ured player to help draw the crowds
to the box office. There was one other
manner in which it could be hand
led, a very expensive name but
one which the story seemed worthy
of making it worth while to try, that
of engaging four big stars and max
ing the production a real all-star
special feature. This latter method
of procedure was followed.
The vaudeville consists of a we'll
balanced bill consisting of Black and
Blue, in something different, Jimmy
Mace, a singing coincidence; Su-
Ireme Dancers, whirlwind dance nov
city; Wheeler and Potter, clever en-
tertainers and June La Mont and
Blue Bird Syncopated Jazz Band in
music, mirth and melody.

were especially imported from Paris
for this production.
In the large company, besides the
beauty chorus of forty girls-typical
examples of all that is best in Amer
lean beauty-there are such we'll
known players as Walter McManus,
Mae Marvin, Jack McNulty, Robert
l.. Daley, Gordon Bennett, Miss Flor
ence,- Miss Rene, John Willard, Abe
Gore and Edward Davis, and a host
OF others. One of the features of the
show is the splendid dancing of
eighteen-year-old Mary Lee, an es-
pecial protege of Dave Marion's.
Among the colo-ful and beautiful
numbers in the show are "The Div
ing Girl" THE Dance of the Desert"
THE Cry Baby" "a Scene in Yer

and many others. In spite of the fact
that Dave Marion's Own Show is lar

Strand Attraction

In Broadway Rose" Mae Murray's
latest production, to be presented by
Robert u. Leonard at the Strand
Theatre today, the famous Metro
star has another of those roles which
have come to be associated with her
lame and which provide opportuni-
ties for magnificent settings, gor-
geous costumes and the dance epi-
sodes without which no Mae Murray
picture is complete.
1t is the story of a country girl
who has become a Broadway favor
lite and won fame as a dancer. Ad-
mlred by many men, surrounded by
the fattery and luxury which comes
to those who r successful in catch
ing the adulation of the Gay White
Way, Resale Lawrence finds her
hope for happiness in the love of
Hugh Thompson, whose parents are
wealthy and of the socially elect.
Resale discovers, however, that
the passage from Broadway to Fifth
Avenue Is not easily accomplished.
The Thompsons have other plans for
their son. Marriage with a Broad
way dancer is not included in their
social code. They have already pick
ed out the wife for their son in Bar
bara Royce, a debutante of their
W set. And so Rosalie consents
to a secret marriage in order that
there may be no break with his par
entx
The results of this step involve
Rosalie in "a series of stirring Incl
dents which threaten her with dis
aster but she eventually finds hap
piness.
