The meeting scheduled for Wednes-

following the receipt OF messages from

that they would arrange 10 meet the

that he is strongly in favor OF san

to hear from both Mr.. Jones and Mr;

mittee Friday. Business men here who
have closely followed the merger case
have expressed the opinion that Mr..

nose of proposing COMPROMISE, or
for the purpose Of re-stating several

oppose tie construction of 4 compeu-
tive railroad from San Antonio TO the
Rio Grande Valley that Mr.. Pyeatt
has asked for second hearing, ac-
cording TO business men who were
consulted for their opinion. This sup
nosition is based on the fact that
strong opposition has been lined up by
San Antonio because of Mr.. Pyeatt

other line from this city to the valley

NO. S ALLEN RUNS
WILD AND is MAKING
$500 BARRELS OF OIL
Guadalupe County's Sixth
Well Rlows in With
Tools in the Hole.

Luling. Tex. March t9.-The No. 6
Allen. in Guadalupe county. of the
United North and South Oil company.
blew in unexpectedly at 10 o'clock
Tuesday night and its initial produc-
ton was estimated at between 1900
and 5000 barrels. The well ran wild
throughout the night and only by
strenuous efforts of the crew was it
controlled shortly after o'clock
Wednesday morning. \ breeze was
blowing and as the well spouted oil
high above the derrick. the surround
ing scenery was saturated. A nearby
creek was partly filled with the oil
before drillers could control the heavy
flow. The tools were in the hole when
the well blew itself in.
The No. 6 Allen is the sixth well in
Guadalupe county and is the second
on the Allen farm. An exact estim-
ate of its production could not be
made by drillers Tuesday night but it
was said that the well would make
1000 barrels easily. The well is be-
lieved to be about 21J0 feet deep. No
information as to depth OF Guadalupe
county wells is being given out by
officials of the United North and
South Oil company.
At present there are 60 derricks in
the Guadalupe section of the Luling
oil fiehl and 20 of them represent
drilling wells while six represent good
producers.
n The No. 3 Gideon OF the United,
which was brought IN during the last
part of last week for a production
estimated nj 300 barrels daily. and
which is said TO be 400 feet deeper
than the average Luling well, was
drilled deeper Tuesday and the pro-
duction is said to have been increased.
Considerable interest is centering
around the we'll which gives every in
dication of proving second pay depth
for the Luling oil field. The well is
now $500 feet dep. 1t is only 300 feet
from the Hardcman lease on which
wells are producing from depth Of
approximately 2135 to 2150 feet.
The No. +. NJ. Mercer, also of
the United North and South. came in
Tuesday making about 800 TO $50
barrels daily. This well is in the CGld-
well section of the Luling field.
