LULING, Tex, Aug. 22.-While
nothing is being made public by the
United North & South Oil company
in connection with their three deer
test wells, there is a general feeling
among oil men that something is about
to happen in one or the other of them,
and people who were here during the
days when operators were at theiI
peak here and who afterwards went to
other fields are coming back daily.
One large teaming contractor who
has in the past worked extensively for
the North and South is shipping in
feed by the carload for large number
of teams that are said to be en- route
to Luling.
The extensive acreage blocks that
have been taken by the company at n
cost of around 100000 lead people
to believe that they have found some
thing in their deep wells, as oil of the
contracts and leases specify that they
cover on production only that comes
from $500 feet and below, while the
average depth of the present produc-
ing wells in the Luling field is only
about 215O feet.
Three wildcat wells near the Luling
field are attracting a good deal of at
tention now. Allen Burman's No. !

said to have been showing good re-
