FAILS TO MAKE WELL
Magnolia Will Drill Their No. {
Ochoa Deeper.

Miranda City, Tex, April 20
The Ochoa No. > of the Magnolia
Petroleum Company on Block SO oil
the Wolcott pool of Webb county
failed to make a well at the usual
depth on account of encountering wa
ter and it will be made a deep test.
The drilling is being done with
Star tools and will be the second test
to be made for the high gravity sand
in this pool.
The Ochoa No. 6 OF the same COM
pany on the same block an offset to
the west 300 feet, is now drilling
around 1850 feet and has not picked
up the sand. This well is also north
of the Chandler & Gear No. .. which
struck a large cavity around 1900
feet and could not be brought in. They
had sand at 1856 feet.
The Magnolia Petroleum Company
started drilling on its Ohoa No. Z
Monday afternoon. This well is an
offset to the north of the Weslaco
No. 1 and is located on block 80 of
the Ochoa pasture in the Wolcott poo!
Of Webb county.
All the drilling that is being done
by the Magnolia is now in this pool.
In the Schott field they are producing
oil from number of wells and this
week they are cleaning out some Of
the wells which have sanded up.

SMALL WELL AT SHASTA
No. 5 Is Giving Some Trouble With
Mud at Bottom OF Hole.
Miranda City. April 26.-Th

Miranda City, April 26.-The Shas-
ia Oil Company is experiencing some
trouble in bringing in their No. D well
on account Of continued mudding up ut
the bottom Of the hole. Casing is set
at 1850 feet on a hard rock. Top of
the pay is 1890 feet and bottom Of the
hole is 1854 feet. The drill pene-
trated l. feet of sand and broken for
nation. There is % feet Of hole be-
low the sand with no water. The well
is being bailed and when cleaned out
it will probably make a small well: as
there is considerable oil being balled
out with the mud.
The No. , is located on Block 30
of the Ojuelos Grant and is an OF,
set to the north Of the No. 4 well
about 800 feet.
The derrick for the Shasta No. q
was built late last week and the
tools will be moved on as soon as
the No. ) is completed. The No. u
is west of the escarpment and is an
offset due north of the No. 3 and
west of the No. 5. The company ex-
poets to make big well here as
their No. 3 is still pumping better
than 200 barrels of oil daily.
The No. 6 is located on Block 90
of the Ojuelos Grant of Webb county:
The company is cleaning out and
drilling the No. . well deeper and will
likely get a substantial increase in
production as the second cap was not
drilled through when the well was
brought in. A string of Star tools
is being used.

TO DEEPEN SHANNON
Well at Big Lake TO Be Drilled to
5000 Feet.

Big Lake, Tex, April pa deep
test will be made of the No. / Shan
non of the Crockett Drilling Syndi-
cate. located % miles south of here,
according to the latest information.
Drilling close to the 4000-foot level
the well will be carried down TO 5000
feet in the hope of finding a deeper
pay sand. Work of completing the
syndicate's No. ] Massey on the east
ern flank of the Sheffield Terrace will
be started at once. this we'll having for
the last three months been shut down
at 1000 feet.
North of the Shannon, drilling is
progressing rapidly on the World
Company's No. / Powell, the No. i
Associated and the No. 1 Trans
continental. formerly the Ender-Smith
well. Fastest time is being made on
the T. & p. Coal and Oil Company's
well five miles east of here. This well
being drilled by "Shorty" Baker. is
reported down to GOO feet. North of
this well W. Dunning Jr.. is rigging
up on the Bar S ranch and will spud
in within the next few days.
Chief interest now eenters in the
completion of the Big Lake Oil Com
pany's Nos. 4. 3. Z and 10. These

made a location and will erect der
rick for No. 6 the first of the week.
Laurel Not Drilling.
The Laurel Oil company has not
resumed drilling operations as the
suit with the state of Texas still re-
mains unsettled. A derrick is being
erected for Wheatley No. s on block
80 of the Los Ojuelos grant.
In the Wolcott pool, Chandler and
Gier is drilling below 800 feet in No.
6. The Magnolia Petroleum company
failed to get the producing sand in
deeper in search of the high gravity
sand. No. is drilling below 600
feet. The Weslaco Oil company
completed small well last week is
preparing to erect derrick for No.
on block 90, Ochoa pasture. H. H.
Palmer tested at 1713 feet but de-
cided to drill deeper and encountered
another good sand near 1900 feet.
Liner is now being set for test.
In the Carolina-Texas gas field,
the Carolina Texas Oil & Gas Trust
is drilling below 11J0 feet having
considerable trouble on account of
the shortage of water for drilling pur-
poses. The Morgan-Gibble No. 2 on
survey 1856 will be ready to spud by
the first of the week. The Associated
Oil company spudded No. on survey
6S4 but have been shut down most
of the time on account OF shortage
of water. Several water wells are
being drilled 40 this time and it is
believed that an abundance of water
will be available within q short time.
Wildcat Tests q Sand.
Among the wildcats of Webb county
the Witherspoon Oil company located
on survey 1907 east of clifton. tested
a sand at the depth Of 2130 feet
which carried salt water and is now
drilling deeper. The Cole Petroleum
company has completed setting up
tools on No. and expect TO start
drilling after the first Of the week.
X. S. Towards is preparing to drill
in No. 1 on the southwest corner of
the Albercas grant. The A. ID. j. Oil
company is still plugging away, drill
ing below 1000 feet. The formations
are showing exceptionally good for n
producing well within the next few
hundred feet. Barnhart ct nj drill
ing east of the coal mines on survey
1864 is roaming around 400 feet. A.
+. Humphreys is expected to spud in
No. 1 OH the Petty ranch during the
coming week, as sufficient coal has
been obtained for fuel purposes.
Forester and Cook has erected der
ricks on the Catrina and the Brown
ranches and will move tools as soon
as they arrive. Malone ct al who
recently erected derrick on the
Brewster ranch is expected TO have
his rig in operation within a short
time. Neal ct al drilling on survey
GU in the eastern part of Webb coun.
ty cored a 10 foot oyster shell bed

tension considerably. While blowing
gas, this well had all the appearance
of big gasser. A column of white
gas was going nearly to the top OF
the derrick and the roar could be
heard about mile from the field.
Roads to the Guadalupe field are
good considering the amount of traffic
that is going over them. Improvements
are being made all the time and with
In a short time an excellent road will
extend all the way from Luling to the
field proper. Development of the field
is progressing in an orderly manner
and there is a noticeable absence of
the crowd of oil field idlers that have
followed in the wake of many Texas
fields. Production Of the Guadalupe
part Of the field is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 barrels al
the present time. Many Of the wells
are being pinched in on account of
the lack of storage space and pipe line
connections. Production so far is con-
fined to the Allen, Marines and> Schu.
bert leases.
In the Gulf Coast area completion,
and production held up to the Level
set last week. The entire week wa,

Large Miranda Deal.
Much interest has been aroused over
the entrance of the Associated Oil
Company into the Miranda field. This
company recently purchased the Black
Panther lease in the Edgington field
of Webb county. While the deal was
being closed, three producers wer,
brought in in the field. 1t is under,
stood that the Associated will spend
approximately S225.000 in immediat,
development of the lease which it ha.
bought. Oil shipments in the Miranda
district have reached a record marx
during April. and with the impetus in
