BRING FUNDS HERE
Texas Insurance Firms Developing
Unusually Large Business.

Texas is fast developing insurance
concerns that are carrying more and
more large percentage of the bust
ness in the state. They are not only
doing this, but are diverting funds
from the old channels of trade from
the east and bringing it into Texas
where it is loaned to Texas residents,
says V. Salmon, assistant secretary
of the Bankers Health & Accident As
ISOLATION, with home offices at Hous-
ton.
All the larger cities in the state
have insurance companies now that
compare favorably with any in the
United States of the same age, he
says. Many of them have out
stretched companies of other states.
The Bankers Health & Accident. As
ISOLATION, of Houston, is one of, these
successful companies. he reports.
There are only two Texas organiza-
tons of this character and the Bank
ers is growing at rapid rate, says
Mr.. Salmon. This company's report
to the state department of insurance
for 1923 shows increase in premium
income Of +143 per cent, increase in
new members of approximately 100
per cent, increase in amount paid to
claimants 125 per cent and increase
in reserve held for future claims of
205 per cent. There were only 119
claims refused out of considerably
more than 1000 which were sent in,
the assistant secretary reports.

hind bond issue for precinct No. 3
of not less than $4,000 to be used

SHOWS SOME OIL
Independent Operator Well at Del
Rio May Be Producer.

Del Rio, Tex, March 22.-After .
delay of fifteen days, caused by the
injury at the East Del Rio well of
w. H. Bowers, drilling was resumed
at the Independent Operator well a
few days ago. and within six feet a
fine sand was encountered with a
good show of oil. But Immediately
the drill went into much finer sand
that carried about three bailers of
water per hour. During drilling in
termissions, the hole filled consider
ably with water with about twenty
feet of oil at the top.
DIR. j. l.. Workman of Brownsville,
geologist of the company, was advised
by wire, and he Immediately wired
the officials in charge of drilling that
they determine the exact amount Of
water in the well, and also the quail
ity of oil. DIR. Workman and also
DIR. w. +. Cummins of the Rio Bravo
Company, have been interested in de-
termining the source of oil seepage
her at ID Rio, and by making COM
PARSONS of the two grades of oil.
something definite may be learned
along this line.
Biologists believe that the oil seep-
age found at Del Rio, and also that
encountered in q number of wells here
in the Trinity sands. is foreign AMI
both seepage and wells are being fed
in the same manner. The seepage at
Del Rio is believed to come from a
great depth. probably 1000 or 5000
feet, and the Permain layer estimated
at about 400 feet in thickness. AMI
Immediately underlying the Pennsyl-
vania and the Bend Shales, is thought
to be its source. The grade of oil
obtained from shallow seep wells in
Del Rio is almost pure kerosene, there
being about 30 per cent of Kerosene
and 10 per cent of lubricating oil of q
light quality. 1t has been explained
that the oil, on account of coming
from a great depth, was partially re-
fined by the heat to which it was ex-
posed, and many Of its components
were evaporated.
Biologists further believe that the
sands to the south of the San Felipe
Fault may be saturated with Oil. as
those to the north of this structure
are saturated with water. and they
are looking for a possible proof of
their theory in the further develop
ment that may follow at the indie
pendent Operator well, and the pos
sible discovery of the large pool which
they believe to exist and are seek
ing.
The Independent Operator is about
seven miles northwest of Del Rio. 1t
is now down TO a depth of about 1000
feet, and it is believed that the pres
ent water and oil will be cased off.
and drilling continued. The hole ut
present is n 10-inch hole. which will
probably be reduced to s IA inches.
