STILL BUY ACREAGE
Guadalupe County Getting Active
Play as Wells Come In.

Seguin, Tex, April 5.-As a re-
suit of the coming in of the sensa-
tional gushers on the Mexican, Lopez
and Allen leases in the Guadalupe
county section Of the Luling oil field,
there is every reason to believe that
the Guadalupe county oil boom is
steadily gaining momentum.
With several more wells nearing
pay. acreage that was doubtful a few
weeks ago is now being eagerly sought
with prices increasing by leaps and
bounds from day to day. Where drill
ing contracts were asked beginning
only n short time ago, big companies
and operators are today paying real
money for their leases.
Information comes from an authen-
tic source that a Luling citizen has
cleared over $4,000 in salvaging the
oil that has been running into the
creeks and the river from gushers
near Gander Slue. A real boom has
developed in the different townsites,
and Kingsbury has taken on the APP
pearance of bustling little city, with
some of the places of business run
ming on a 24-hour schedule.
The Seguin territory is also COM
ing in for a big play and leases are
now selling fast in that section of
Guadalupe county. During the last
week Jack" Johnson and John Por-
ter Tindley. early operators in the
Seguin district, report important
deals with outside operators. The
territory in the vicinity of the ANA
rada test is said to be practically sold
out, and on account Of the interest
ing things that have happened in the
Dixie test it seems probable that an
intensive development will follow
soon. Oklahoma operators. who hold
extensive leases in the Peter Bollin-
ger district, are about to begin opera
tons. it is reported.
Extending across the county line
and Cibolo creek into Wilson coun-
ty, the test of the Plateau Oil Com
pany is being closely watched. The
Grayburg location is also creating
considerable interest. The Dixie well
is being financed by the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana. while the ANA.
