Texas field approximately three-quar,,
ter Of a mile to the east. > 49,
This gasser has created considerably
interest as it was thought it would,
show oil being as far to the east as
It was, however the structure in that
field seems to be much larger than
any one thought and will necessarily
take several more wells to prove or
disproye it for oil. Another location
is to be made in the near future for
test No. 2. ,.aA

KILLAM ACTIVE. ,s,.
o. ". Killam, the pioneer and dis
coverer Of this district still holds the
lead in the development work. At

This test was shut down at the
depth Of $3.50 feet some 80 days ago
awaiting the installation of heavier
rig. Mr.. Killam intends making a
deep test. United States Gas and
Oil company is rigging up on No. I.
located in the northern corner of
block 10, survey IL, Mariana Arispe
grant. This test will be a direct off
set to Cole Petroleum company No.
8 and will be watched with interest
due to it being southeast Of the
gasser. All of the wells drilled TO
date in the COle-Bruni area that have
tested the 100 foot sand have re-
suited in gassers and many oil men
seem to think that southeast ID the
direction to 60. .-
