northeast Of the Carolina. Texas gas
sers and about a half nile east of the
Morgan-Gibble No. 1 well which is in
Survey 80.
The well will be drilled by Dri,!er
Bridges, the same man who drilled
the No. / well. The company Is using
their own string of tools.
The No. / well came in from q
depth Of 2317 feet and is making con-
siderable fluid which is OF a yellow
nature and contains both coal oil and
gasoline. The general opinion is that
the No. 2 will penetrate the sand at
practically the same depth and that i.
will carry enough oil to make it a
commercial oil well. Great care will
be used in drilling this we'll and every
rrecaution will be taken to prevent &
loss from the tremendous pressure OF
gas.
J.. X. Gibble Is the man who took
the first 'Sance with Will Morgan and
he went out and raised the money and
met with success and perpetuated thc
lease. Now he has the morey in the
bank to make a bigger success and
he knows that he is going to win
Mr.. Gibble is big Philadelphia
broker and his friends are glad t.

Will Morgan is the fellow who ha,
persistently held on here even IN the

THREE NEW ALLEN
WELLS In GUADALUPE
MAKE 1860 BARRELS
No. 8 Is Largest, Gauging
5000 Barrels of Clean
Oil Daily.

Luling, Tex, March e9.-Compls-
ton of three wells on the Allen tract
in Guadalupe county in the Luling
field featured activities here for the
last two or three weeks. The three
wells, Nos. s, Z and 3, are making 4
total daily production Of 11,600 bar
rels of oil. The No. 8, which blew in
Thursday is making 5000 barrels daily,
according to reports by officials Of
United North and South Oil Com
pany, owner Of the three Allen pro-
ducers.
Blowing itself in Thursday for an
initial production estimated at as high
as 10000 barrels the No. Allen con-
tinues to flow q large ana steady
stream Of oil into q field line. The
Atlantic Oil Company is reported to be
constructing another field line to the
Guadalupe section Of the pool ~ .srs
for the increased production.
The No. 8 Allen came In with the
drill stem in the hole and flooded near.
by creeks with crude before drillery
could get II under control. The drill
stem is in the hole at the present
time and drillers report that 1t is like
ly to remain there until the pressure
subsidies considerably.
Shortly after the well came In, three
men were nearly drowned in oil. Il
was necessary to carry them from the
floor.
With this wells production flowing
into the field line along with that OF
the other Allen wells, it is necessary
to lag another line in the field, ac-
cording to officials Of the Atlantic Oil
Company. The No. Allen 10 re-
ported making 1000 barrels while the
No. Z is making 1000 barrels.
Another feature of the field during
the week was the completion of the
No. 8 Gideon of the United North and
South. This we'll is making 1000 bar
rels of clean oil and is located on the
edge of the producing area Of Caldwell
section of the Luling field. Oil men
say they believe it will prove con-
siderable acreage east of the present
producing area.
The No. / Schubert Of the Magnolia
Petroleum Company is reported about
ready 10 drill in. The No. A. j.
Baker of the United North and south
Oil Company is also reported setting
casing preparatory to drilling in.

No. 2 Allen Good Well.

Seguin, Tex, March Coil men es-
innate that Guadalupe county's No. 2
Allen will be good for 1000 to 5000
barrels per day when casing is COM
pleted. The we'll is expected to give
more trouble before the casing is fl
nally set on account of the exceedingly
heavy gas pressure. Steam lines from
two boilers, turned on the well at
once, were required TO check the wild
flow Of oil during last week.
The c. c. Canaan, drilling on the
same farm, has been showing heavy
gas and blowing out at about 200
feet, while the ]. II. Hughes well
there is also casing at 1400 feet.
The No. 1 Allen is reported to have
considerably increased its production,
which was around 1000 barrels daily,
while No. 2 Mexican is SAL ~ 70
making about $500 barrels. Another
we'll in on the Marines tract has q
flow of 500 barrels now, according to
late reports.
1t is expected that the Guadalupe
county field will soon have been prov
en- I'M for over half mile in width.
Allen Burman. drilling on the Inn
hoff tract near Kingsbury, is drilling
around 200 feet. This well is said
to look very favorable as a coming
producer.
Coupe ct al, drilling on the Schuene-
mann tract, report the water as hav-
ing been successfully shut off and q
small well made where the present
operations have been taking place.
No. Shanklin in the Kingsbury ex-
tension. is coming in for a deep test
by the United North and South Com
pany, and is now drilling around 1900
feet in liIpe, while the Magnolia's
deep test. in the main field, is also
drilling in hard lime at 36O feet.
Magnolia is putting in a Standard
well has been cemented and is ex-
pected to be drilled in within a few
days.
The Magnolia nov has four rigs

up on the Gross tract.
J. X. Hughes is erecting a derrick

change has practically closed a drilling
contract on the ]. d. Smith lease in
the east corner, which is in line with
production.

now coming in for a test by the Ry-

DICK AGENCY is

SMALL BUSINESS
Woman Used in War on
LaFolIette's Friends

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 19.-Star-
Ting exposures of the corrupt prac-
tees of detective agencies are again
brought to light in suit brought by
the Pico Register company of Kansas
City against the United Autograph
Register company of Chicago.
Charlotte Dillon, a bookkeeper for
the Pico firm, testified that she was
placed there by the Midwest Detective
Agency with the object of wrecking
the firm. She was employed by Har-
ry Boyle, then superintendent of the
detective agency. He ordered her to
take the position of bookkeeper for
the Pico Register company.
She had access to all the files from
the company and all letters from the
United Autograph Register company
she took to Boyle. She also received
orders for deliveries of Pico company
products, which she disregarded or
changed around, thereby causing gen.
eraI chaos in the business. AS a re-
suit the Pico Register company went
to pieces.
Miss Dillon also admitted that she
worked for three years for the Burns
Detective Agency.

Capitalist Paper
Predicts Wage Cut
For Illinois Miner

Pointing out that approximately
half of the 800 Illinois mines are
closed, the Industrial Digest, a maya
zine published here for bankers, man
ufacturers, investors and capitalists
generally, warns employers that "con-
ditons point to a period of declining
wages and corresponding multiple
cation of trouble for manufacturers
and other employers Of labor. /.
Wages must drop along with other
items. -. The Illinois miners cannot
operate at profit with union men
and union wages"
The magazine concludes with the
ominous statement that the workers
are getting too much and must accept
a cut in wages. The ony alternative,
it appears, is a united fight against
wage cuts and increases in hours.

OSBORNE C. WOOD
WINS FOR I j N {
IN W ALL: STREET
S NC c e s s at Roulette
Swells the Swag
Especial to The DAILY wOrker)


PARIS, Aug. 19.-His many friends
in the underworld are congratulatiDg
Osborne c. Wood, son of Maj Gen
Leonard Wood, governor of the Phil
ippine Islands, on his latest success
in adding 100000 to his already large
fortune made in the Wall Street stock
market.
Mr.. Wood is to be seen nightly at
the gaming tables in Biarritz. He is
living a gay life and useful work is
the farthest thing from his mind.
Started in Manila.
While he was in the Philippines
with his father, young Wood made
something like a million on the stock
exchange. Threats of investigation
did not bother the young man. His
father had sufficient influence with
Silent Cal to call off the bloodhounds
and furthermore a quiz of young
Wood did not promise very much in
the way of political ammunition for
the election campaign.
With the 100000 won by him at
the gambling tables, Mr.. Woods for
tune is now estimated at $1,5OO,000
Gold in Cast Iron.
The stock that brought the young
American his good luck is United
States Cast Iron Pipe. This was the
stock he hit from Manila when he
cleaned up the million. 1t is not like
ly that Osborne G.. Wood would re-
cognize a piece of cast iron pipe if
he saw it on the street. He is report
ed as having an ambition to enter the
diplomatic service. A few more sue
cessful CANDLES and he will be fully
qualified.
