most dozen first-class producers, civ
ing total output of approximately
$4,000 barrels daily, and more being
added from day to day, the Guadalupe
county section of the Luling field is
steadily increasing its proven area
1t is now 2600 feet in width. Som,
oil men are of the opinion that tn,
No. / Allen of the Canaan compan,
would widen Guadalupe countys pro
ducing area to fully one mile.
The excitement feature of the week
was furnished by the Canaan Allen
well, which had terrific gas blowout
Monday morning, blowing out the dnl
| stem, twisting it up ana forcing il up
against the crown block and then out
through the side of the derrick, which
was wrecked SO badly that it will
probably have to be rebuilt. Members
of the crew who were on the floor of
the derrick at the time, ran to safety,
but the, derrick man remained uncon-
cernedly in the derrick until the ex-
citement was all over and then slid
down one of the guy wires.
The big drilling campaign has gotten
under way, eight derricks being hauled
out Wednesday by McDermott,
Looks Like Producer.
Baker No. Of the United North
& South is showing every sign of
making a good producer This well is
situated between the Allen lease and
the San Marcos river. Being just 500
feet from the river bank, it is consid-
cred certain proof that the Caldwell
and Guadalupe county ends of the oil
fields are connected, and the No. 3
Maggie Moore, when it makes a well,
is close enough to the river on the
Caldwell county side to prove this still
more conclusively.
The No. Schubert of the Magnolia
Petroleum company, which came in
last Sunday with an initial production
of 1900 barrels. will continue to be
one of the best producers in the
Guadalupe field, according to oil men.
Hughes company's Alien No. 1. COM
pleted Monday night is making an
initial production of 1000 barrels
daily. Schubert No. I is close to the
Allen tract. which places it near the
center OF the producing area. while
the Allen No. 1 of j. II. Hughes is
north of Gander Slue and about 600
feet south of the San Marcos river.

Marines No. IL of the United North
and South Oil company is just across
the road from the Schubert we'll and

barrels, while Marines No. 10 is max
