BELIEVE GUADALUPE
TO BE LEADING OIL
COUNTY IN 1924
Scramble for Leases and
Influx of Oil Men Re-
ported at Seguin.

Seguin, Tex, April 12.-That Quad
alupe county is destined to be the lead
ing county in drilling activities dur
ing 1924 in Texas, is the belief of
some biologists here.
Since the coming in Of the Lopez
well, there has been active leasing by
the major companies and independ-
ents. One day during last week deals
amounted to hundreds of thousands of
dollars were made. Lease prices are
soaring overnight and royalty deals are
being made miles from production.
At the meeting of the American As
ISOLATION of Biologists. which was
held in Houston last week, a principal
subject of discussion was the wonder
full possibilities of the Guadalupe
county oil field.
Some oil men here are of the opin-
ion that larger production will be
found southwest of the present produc-
ing pools. Many claim that the Sc
guin-New Berlin section will be
large pool.
With L. B. Slick, Oklahoma opera
tor, the Texas 4 Pacific Coal and Oil
company, most of the major companies
and the johnson and Tindley indie
pendent operators and lease men,
making deals in Peter Bollinger sur
vey, an intensive development is as
sured.
Interest is centering in the south
west section of the county, near the
Wilson county line, where the Plateau
Oil company, the Grayburg and others
are planning to spud in. This section
is known as Seguin-New Lavernia Sec
ton and is well taken up by most
Of the major companies.
There is no longer any question as
10 the possibilities presented in the
coming boom for Seguin. This city will
be center of activity. With ample
hotel facilities, main line railroads
leading TO all parts of the country and
plenty Of building space for improve
ments. this city is facing a bright fu-
tFe. Visiting oil men and lease opera
tors arc impressed with Seguin as a
place to live.

400 feet deep on Monday.
This is the second well for the Dill
ley country and many people are
looking forward to the bringing in of
an oil well in this district. The other
well drilling is southwest of Dilley six
miles on the Shrum ranch. 1t is be-
ing drilled by the Carolina-Texas Syn
