Laredo, Tex. March s.-The frs,
producing oil well in Zapata county
for nearly 4 year was brought in
Wednesday by the Kanoka Petroleum
company on block 81 survey 307 Of the
Miranda Valley pool. In addition tc
being a producer it is a flowing oil
we'll. The Kanoka drilled this well tc
the depth of 1420 feet last year and
cored a sand below, after which they
set casing. The showing made by thu
well when the core was taken was
not considered worth. testing and
therefore the hole has been standing
in that manner for more than fifteer
months. In compliance with the
terms OF the contract, upon which
the lease was originally gotten, thu
kanoka Petroleum company had &c
drill and therefore went into the hole
Wednesday with the intention of
completing the well. The bringing in
of this test as producer was prob
ably a bigger surprise to the kanoka
officials than 1t was to the public.
Gets Good Producer.
Wheatley ct al No. 8, drilling or
block 81 Of the Los Ojuelos Grant,
brought in one of the best producers
in that portion of the pool. When
drilling out the plugs the well flowed
over the casing head several times fol
Commute periods. The well has been
placed on the pump and is making
approximately 200 barrels daily. The
Cin.Tex Petroleum company No. 3 just
to the south, that was brought in last
week, is also a very good well, max
ing approximately the same produc,
ton. Allsworth Brothers completed
No. 2 test located on Survey 81, q
southeastern extension to the Schoti
Pool, for a daily production of 15o
barrels. The well swabbed approx
mately 500 barrels daily after the
plugs were drilled out and Is about
the average producer for that par
of the pool.

a bit of water. This well was brought
