time ago considerable interest WAS
displayed to the east and on tli" Is
carpment but today much der"op-

Several wells have been drilling that
are located on the eScarpmcnt tut AT
this time. only the NltherSpnnn ana
the Neal tests are actually WORKING.

west Of Bruui. The test Of III" South

tlucing horizon. Cole Petroleum Com

feet have had considerable difficult

ported that the company is preparing
to drill another test on this arreag"

Small Producer Completed.
In The Schott pool. the Cdrnahal
Producing and Refining Company
brought in its No. - for Il small
producer. While tho well has not
been placed on the pump it i est
mated To be- good for about - bar
rels. Number - Of the same coin
pany is drilling below 800 feet. The
> Ellsworth Brothers cored very rich
sand at the depth Of 1G>1 feet and
have set casing in cement. This test
will be drilled in in few days. Dug
gan ct al on Block : of the Los
OiueloS grant cored sand that
showed heavy saturatiOn at the depth
of 1865 feet and has set easing pro
paratory TO testing. The Magnolia
Petroleum Company corrd a sand NJ
the depth of 2022 feet but later de
cided to drill to a greatrr depth as
the showing was not considered worth
Il test. The we'll is now drilling below
2260 feet. McCrec Petroleum Com
pany is rigging UP on No. :. survey

low 200 feet on Block II Of the Los
Ojuelo' grant,
In the Edgington pool. the An
drews Petroleum Corporation is cor
ing below 20SS feet. Black Panther
Petroleum Company is drilling below
400 feet while Clark and Howard
is at this time standing. Arrange
ments are being made for the deep
ening of this test TO the depth of at
leas: 3J01 fee.
Max, New Location.
A location has been made by the
same firm on Block 81 OF the Edging
ton subdivision which lays just TO the
east. q. w. Kiilam drilled in his
test located on the northwestern cor
ner of the Albcrcas grant When
first tested. the well showed nothing
but gas and cleared Itself while bail
inS. Later the we'll was gone into
with bailor and it showed consid-
cradle oil. At this time it is thought
that the well will be good for better
than 100 barrels from the upper
sand. This well is an extension cf
over a mile To the south OF the Edg-
ington pool. 1t is also the first well
in that pool TO make producer from
the upper sand Is the sand above
always carried water.
From indications. if the test would
be drilled to the next sand an excel
lent producer would result. As this
well is on the Albcrcas grant it prob
ably will be called the .Nbercas pool.
In this connection it might be noted
that this is the first producing oil
well to he drilled on property Of \.
NJ. Bruni. although several tests have
been drilled. Mr.. Bruni is the largest
individual land owner in Webb or
Zapata counties. owning more than
100000 acres of land. Many wells
have been drilled on his various
ranches, only one OF which showed
considerable gas. This test was drilled
by Bennett and Gilliland just south
of the Edgington pool and on survey
20S3 and j. also located just north
aud west of the present producer OF
U. ". kilam.
Cin-TeX Gets Wei.
In the Mid-OiuelOS pool. the Gin
Tex Petroleum Company brought in
the best producer Oh its lease We'd.
nesday afternoon. While il has not
us yet been placed Oh the pump it j,
estimated to be good for better than
300 barrels per day. This is the
third test and also the third producer
for this company. Casing was SCI
at 1913 feet, while the hole was drilled
TO the depth of 1907 feet. The der
rick for No. + has been erected ant
the tools will be moved on immediate
IL. The big well of the Laurel Oi
Company is making better than 1907
barrels of oil per day through Il scrccI
and is flowing by heads. OCCASIONAL,
it is agitated, which increases III,
flow considerably. Number 6 Of thi
company located 800 feet to the mort
is below 1000 feet. while the derricl

Abandon Second Hole.
In the WolcOtt pool, Chandler am
.Gier have abandoned the hole tina

considerable oil. Two strings Of cas-
ing were set in this hole. the frs
at 1880 feet. due to the cavey forma

casing was not tested before drillin
in and IL is not known whether th
water was coming from above or on
of the sand at the bottom. The tcs
