INDICATING ACTIVE
IN GONZALES COUNTY

GONZALES, Sept. 5.-That Con
zales county may yet have a promi-
nent position on the oil map Of Texas
is not at all unlikely since extensive
preparations are now underway for
the development of the field near
Slayden, eight miles from Gonzales.
A total Of 1000 acres of land near
there has been blocked and Dielle Of
Pennsylvania and Hoogamayer Of
Houston, are now completing all ar
rangements for a thorough test. SO
confident are they Of finding oil in
paying quantities that the leases are
to be held in escrow pending the
drilling to try out the territory.
A location will be made for the
first well within the next ten days.
The rig is being built in San Antonio.
In 1903 great excitement prevailed
in the Slayden-Ottin section, where
a number Of shallow wells were
brought in and oil sand located that
promised great things. Surface in
dications are said by biologists to be
excellent.
Considerable validating is under
way in various sections OF the county
including Cost, DilwOrth, HarwOOd,
Waelder and the Nixon section. "A
well at Nixon had a good showing Of
oil the other day.

BILLIONS FEET
NATURAL GAS
IN TEXAS

AUSTIN, Sept. D. Natural gas
distributing companies, operating IN
Texas in 1924, sold 11,OOO.COO,OOO
cubic feet more Of gas than they did
in 1923. The sales in Texas last year
were 3G,S34,575.3GO cubic feet. This
increase was announced here today
by the Gas Utilities Division Of the
Railroad Commission through Com
missioner c. Y. Terrell. Only 1885,
$40 consumers used this amount OF
gas. However, this is a material in
crease in the number Of natural gas
customers over those reported in 1923.
The average price Of natural gas
in 1924 was slightly less than for the
previous year, the charge for dOmes-
tie purposes being Gj.3 cents per
1000 cubic feet. 2O.7 cents for indus
trial gas and Il cents for all other
purposes.
This gas was furnished by IS gas
utilities companies, according 10 the
report 10 the Railroad Commission.
The total capital stock and funded
debt amounted % S32. 1Oj.2JO. In
ycstments amounted 10 S2O,14S,137
and operating expenses and other de-
auctions from income was $lS.30O,-

MORE WILDCATS
PLANNED FOR
GUADALUPE

SEGUIN, Sept. 5.-The territory
east and northeast Of here is again
being actively exploited for wildcat
operations.
Interest is now centered on the j..
4. Lowman tract about half a mile
west Of Staples, where the Humble
Oil and Refining company has erect
ed a steel derrick, preparatory for q
deep test.
The Magnolia, operating on the j.
o. Day lease. south Of Sullivan, is
down around 900 feet.
Howell ct al are making a test in
the Willmann No. !, two miles north
of Kingsbury. They are reported as
being in the Taylor mari, with good
indications for oil.
The Burman- Bailey No. !, north
east Of Kingsbury, is drilling in the
top Of the Edwards, and are said to
have encountered some very favorable
shOWings.
Black ct al are going down for q
shallow test on the Wcinert ranch,
south and southeast Of Scguin and
are reported as being down around
80 feet.
North and South Oil company is
again taking Up operations by start
ing a test on the Baker lease, near
Kingsbury.

Trans-continental have also construct
ed oil topped roads, while no real fig
ures are available covering the cost
of this construction on the part OF
the various oil companies, it is gen
orally conceded that not less than SS,-
100000 pesos has been expended and
in addition it requires a constant
maintainence force to keep these high
ways in passable shape.
Built primarily by each individual
company as the need arose to trans
port material to drilling operations in
new sections, the roads are really pub
lie property. On some Of them gates
and watchmen are maintained, but al
most without exception it has been
the custom to give free passes per-
hitting the passage of all automobiles
other than jftneys without charge, and
for companies other than the owner
desiring to use these roads for heavy
transportation. nominal heavy ton
mage charge has been made.
While the majority of roads con-
structed by oil companies have been in
the Tampico district many kilometers
have been built in other sections OF
the country. In the interior Of Chiapas
the Mexican Seaboard have built built
more than 100 kilometers Of graded
roads with one stretch of 81 kilometers
from Montecristo to iona Sofa. On
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec the Mex
lean Eagle in its operations in the
vicinity Of Minatitlan, Conception and
Sarlat have built roads covering an
equal distance; wildcat operations IN
various sections of the State Of Vera
Cruz, especially in Tlacalula, Tan
GENE. San Pedro. Ia Pita, Tres Her
manos and Aguada, have meant road
construction for stretches in some
cases as great as 20 kilometers, while
in the State Of San Luis Potosi the
Marland Oil company in Limon. the
Mexican SeabOard in NaranjO and the
Mexican Petroleum Corporation in
EbanO. have probably jointly built not
less than 200 kilOmeters OF passable
automobile roads. Almost without ex-
reption the companies would be will
ing to turn these privately constructed
roadS over TO the federal government
to be used as part of the national sys-
TEN Of roads. provided they could be
assured of maintaincnce similar IN
that which they have been accustomed
tn providing and in view Of the fact
that roads already built by these PC
trolcum companies cover half the dis
lance between Brownsville. Tex and
Mexico City. it is anticipated that
considerable portion of the money for
road construction being derived from
the three centavOs per liter gasoline
tax and the tobacco tax will he di-
verted for the construction OF this
trunk highway.

$S,OOO,OOO SPENT FOR
ROADS TO OIL FIELDS

TAMPICO, Tamaulipas, Sept. g.
The construction of automobile high
ways in Mexico will be greatly facili-
tated along the coastal region, especial
ly in the Tampico oil district, as the
result Of the past construction OF roads
by oil companies. Within the past ten
years over 500 kilometers of roads
topped with shell and heavy road oil /;
dirt roads with heavy oil topping and
graded roads with no oil topping have
been constructed and such construction
has been carried on at the rate Of 12j
kilometerS per year for the past four
years.
The leaders in this work have been
the Huasteca Petroleum company,
Mexican Gulf Oil company, Mexican
Seaboard Oil company, Transconti-
mental Petroleum company STANDARD
Of y. j., Mexican Petroleum Corpora
ton, Mexican Eagle and Penn Mex
Fuel company.
The work Of the Huasteca Petroleum
company has been confined TO the re-
gion south of Tampico. The finest
road in the Republic today is the 90
kilometer stretch from its Tampico
terminal at Mata Redonda 10 San Ger
Onimo and from Its Cerro Azul camp to
Chapapote Nunez, another 26 kilOme-
tiers. This latter road in particular
ranges from 30 to 60 feet in width.
The company has also constructed var
ious feeder lines which, following as
they do the general direction of old
canine reals have superseded the lat
ter and now bearing the brunt of
travel in their direction. The Next
can Gulf Oil company expended con-
siderable sums on roads between Tam
picO and the Tuxpam river as did the
Mexican Eagle, Mexican Seaboard and
Transcontinental. South of the Tux
pam river the Penn Men Fuel COM
pany has a road from Tuxpam to
Alamo the Mexican Eagle construct
ed roads as far south as Palma Sofa, a
distance Of Ij kilometers, while the
Mexican Seaboard built roads through
Aqua Naeida. In addition, largely
through the support Of the Mexican
SeabOard, GO-kilOmeter road is being
built in the Mccetepec district.
North and west Of Tampico the
main highway from the city running
through Caracol. Cacalilao and into
CorcOyado, has been built and is be-
ing maintained by the Mexican Gulf
Oil company and through flats which
in the rainy season have always been
impossible. the company has built
roads so that transportation TO field
operations is now possible all year. In

LAREDO, Sept. 5.-During
the past month 900 tank cars OF
oil were shipped out Of Miranda
City from the oil pools Of the
Laredo district. This is a slight
decrease over the preceding
month but is due to the large
amount Of oil being held i'm stor-
age throughout the field on ac-
count Of the recent cut in oil.
According to present figures, the
production for the present month
will be the largest in the history
of the field.

Wildcat Finds Oil at 2635

TULSA. Okla, Sept. 5.-Discovery
of a new wildcat oil field Of high
gravity oil midway between Wcwoka
and Shawnee. Okla, together with
finding of the Wilcox sand in the
Hcnryetta-O kmulgee district were the
high spot features Of the week in the
northern Mid-Contilent. Finding of
water in more CARRIER deep sand wells
has somewhat dampened the erthus-
iasm for a big major pool in this sec
ton. Oklahoma production is going up
again with the older fields getting
most of the new production. The
Braman field in Kay county now of
fers the best production possibilities
ofthe North Oklahoma pools since the
water intrusion at CARRIER.
Crude price reductions inaugurated
by the Prairie Oil and Gas Company,
week ago have been met by other
purchasing agencies and once again
the storing of cheap oil is beginning.
The overproduction of gasoline is still
influencing the crude market consid-
erably, according to leading observers
and much gasoline is being stored to
sell later at higher prices. Fading of
some of the high gravity oil pools which
have been in the limelight lately has
helped the position of the market and
it is not believed that further crude
reductions will occur unless the unex-
pected happens.

PRODUCTION ON
COAST SHOWS
INCREASE
Hull and Orange Lead in
Activity With Other
Fields Steady.

Due to the completion of four good
wells at Hull, production in the
Gulf Coast took an upward turn
during the past week, with a total
yield of $4,000 barrels, gain of
about 5000 barrels as compared with
last week.
Within the past month, Hall has
had a number of big wells and pro-
duction has shown consistent ten
dency to increase, but the wells have
not held up, and new compilations
have to be added to offset declines.
This week the field shows "a, 500 bar
rels, 1000 barrels more than last
week. Last week there was a gain
over the previous week amounting to
1000 barrels.
These figures put Hull first among
coast fields in output, but Orange is
leading in the amount of drilling.

ANOTHER WELL.

One other well was completed at

:ect.
The feature well of the week at
Liberty was the Peer-Monarch's Com
dict fee No. !, located about a half
mile south and west of the nearest
producer. This we'll struck a good
live sand at 3197 feet and this was
drilled through last week to. 1921
feet. Then the hole was drilled to
$40 feet and salt water trouble de-
yeloped. At this writing it has not
been definitely decided as to what will
be done with the well. Several holes
IN the casing were discovered and it
Is thought that perhaps the casing
parted, and that the water is not boz
tom water. Along with the salt
water now in the hole is a good
showing of oil and live gas, and this
leads the owners of the well to be-
heve that it has possibilities. If the
water proves to be bottom water. the
hole will undoubtedly be abandoned,
but if this is not the case, attempts
may be made to plug off the water
and re-work the hole,

Present indications are that the
well will make a good producer at
20 to 80 feet in the formation.
This well is midway between the

Is fairly good indication that the pro-

reached toward the southwest. as the
Associated Oil Company abandoned a
test near the Monarch well.
Many operators believe that produc.

not bear out this belief.
Practically all work is at a stand
still at Liberty and none of the com

wells are completed there will prob.
ably be no drilling at Liberty unless
