ARTESIA, n. NJ, Dec. 5.-North

field, Irwin No. 1 test of the Colorado
Drilling Company in Section S-16-27,
continues to attract attention. 1t is

being accompanied by a flow of non
inflammable gas estimated at 10000

engaged in trying to pull the drilling

many operators that the well is on

the gas has been blowing for over
week.

CARS OIL In MONTH

MIRANDA CITY. Tex. Dec. S.
4 total of S75 cars of oil was shipped
out of Miranda City for the month of
November. This is not quite rs large
as the shipments for the month pre-
vious due to the tendency of holding
back much Of the crude by placing it
in storage in the field.
Miranda crude is gaining every day
in It's popularity with the refincrs of
the United States and Europe and
there is every reason TO believe that
this demand will increase TO the point

BROWNWOOD, Tex, Dec. 5.-The
Williamson wildcat, south of Cross

deepened and a producer is expected.
Several new locations are setting up
derricks and much leasing, buying and

Wells continue to come in with the
usual 20-barrel production in the Clear
Greek field, increasing the total daily
production to over 600 barrels.
Much excitement prevails in the vi

Company of San Antonio has acquired
acreage in the field and will begin sew
eral tests as soon as rigs can be set

in September and
October.

TAMPICO, Mex. Dec. 5.-Heavy
continued rains. which made the haul
ing of material a virtual impossibihty
much Of the time because of the poor
condition of the roads, is reflected in
the number of competitions in this dis
trict during September and October.
In the two months only us wells
were finished, - of which were in
the southern or light oil region with
the balance in the heavy crude fields.
In the light oil field, four of the COM
pletions were commercial successes for
an estimated initial production of 36.-
400 barrels while the 80 successful
competitions in the heavy oil region &C
counted for SS,365 barrels of new oil.
The Pan-American Petroleum,
through the Huastecc Petroleum COM
pany, operating in the light oil fields
and the Mexican Petroleum corpora
ton in the heavy oil district, complet-
ed II wells of which 10 were dry
holes: three salt water and four pro-
ducers for $4,000 barrels new pro-
duction. OF this 90 900 was light
with 1000 barrels from a well in
Chinampa and $4,000 barrels from

balance, $4,000 was from No. AZ,

$4,000 BARRELS.
The Mexican Seaboard Oil company
got $4,000 barrels new production out
of four successes from 10 Wspletions.
Las Piedras No. 2 accounted for 25,-
900 barrels. This well opened up con-
siderable new territory and is actual
ly gauging the estimated initial pro-
duction. The other 5000 barrels came
from three wells in Cacalilao.
The Transcontinental Petroleum
company (Standard of n. J.) like
wise drilled 10 wells, getting but 400
barrels production with 10 of the at
tempts dry holes, while the Mexican
Eagle, drilling wells in the Tampico
district, got two producers for 10, 400
barrels new production, total of TO-
600 barrels came from No. "A, Cierro
Vieje, the first success in this hacien-
da in nearly is months.
RAILROAD SUCCESSFUL
After two years campaigning, the.
National Railways is getting results
and its September and October efforts
were the most successful of any OPP
orator. OF six wells drilled, five were
successful for $4,000 barrels, mostly
along the right of way between Tam
pico and San Luis Potosi, offsetting
holdings of the Pan-American and
Transcontinental.
Cacalilao continued to be the scene
of the greatest activity with 81 com

Big Companies Are Sinking
Wells to Edwards in

L0CKHART, Dec. 5.-Since the
discovery of oil southeast of the Lock
hart field, operators have turned their
attention to this territory. A small
drilling campaign, including a number
of wildcats, has been launched in this
district.
The Crenshaw and Allen tracts are
the center of activity. John Hooser,
who has the lease on these pieces of
land, has completed four producers on
the Crenshaw tract in the last few
weeks and is drilling Nos. 8 and 9.
No. / Allen was completed early in
the week for 800 barrels at ITO feet

Ffom Lockhart. 1t is on a direct line
,ween the United North and South

flowed 3400 barrels from 1850 feet.
The Chesson lease has a record for biz
wells that hold up better than the

Would Consolidate in
Aiding Needy Veterans

CrOsscup PishOn post of the Ameri-
can Legion, Boston, would consolidate
relief efforts of organizations render
ing aid to disabled and needy veter-
ans. The plan is to eliminate dupli-
cation of relief work and to increase
its general efficiency.
Conferences with officials of the
United States Veterans bureau, Off
GERS of the state department of the
American Legion, American Legion
auxiliary and other military and civil
ian organizations have indicated
unanimous sentiment in favor Of unfit
cation and standardization of relief
efforts.
Ultimately the consolidated effort Is
expected to develop into a veteran
"vigilante' with the confidence of the
public. Organizations processing re-
lief to disabled or needy veterans will
have to satisfy the veteran-civilian
central group that their purposes are
honest and their methods are wise.

SET ASIDE FUNDS
FOR LEGION WORK

Trustees Of the Knights of Colum,
bus have appropriated $4,000 to the
rehabilitation work of the American
Legion so that this work may be
financed properly during the current
year, while the Legion endowment
fund is being raised to insure that the
work shall be carried on as long as
there is need of it, National Adjutant
Russell Creviston has announced.
AT the same time Mr. Creviston
stated that the American Legion aux
lliary and the Forty and Eight have
each pledged $4,000 to finance the
child welfare program during the year.
The child welfare program will be
financed in future with half of the
amount derived from the income on
the endowment fund.
Resolutions expressing the Legion's
appreciation have been sent at the d.
rection of the national executive com
mittee, to each of the organizations.
1T was found necessary" Mr. Grew
tston said in announcing the gifts, ito
secure assistance from sources other
than the regular income channels of
the Legion to carry on its work for
disabled veterans of the World war
and for orphans of veterans properly
during the present year. The Knights
of Columbus the American Legion
auxiliary and the Forty and Eight
have generously come forward to sup
plement Legion finances for these pur-
poses
These gifts make it possible for the
Legion to continue in 1925 to render
these services, which are so important
to the entire nation, on the same high
plane as it has rendered them in the
past. They will also permit us to
make the necessary extensions and adj
ditions to our program.
"The immediate emergency has been
met. These gifts insure these services
for 1925, but no more. 1t remains for
the Legion to make sure beyond per-
adventure of doubt that this work
shall be carried on effectively and on
the same humane basis of personal
contact so long as there shall be Sfs-
abled veteran or an orphan of vet
eran who needs our help. That object
will be accomplished by the American
Legion endowment fund of $1,000 900,
which we are now raising throughout
the nation"
