by December Is.

LAREDO. Tex, Aug. 1.-The sur.
vey of the gas line from the Bruni-
Cole gas field, Webh-Duval counties
to Callahan, McMullen county, has
been completed ana the right-of-way
cut as far south as the Nueces river.
This work is being rushed with all
possible speed and it is estimated that
before December 25, at which time
the contract is to be completed, gas
will be going through the line to San
Antonio for, both domestic and COM
mercial purposes.
At this time five large gas wells
have been completed in the Bruni- Cole
field, all Of which came in for from
100000 to 100000 cubic feet.
No. s of the Cole Petroleum Company
is the latest addition to that pool.
This well came in Wednesday morn
ing as the largest gasser of the five.
Casing was set at the depth of 1744
feet, having encountered the sand at
1I47 feet. The producing horizon in
this test is about 80 feet deeper than
in the previous gassers. This well ex-
tends the gas area more than half
mile to the northeast, making an area
OF more than mile square, all OF
which Is proven for gas.
CONTROL GASSER.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. gasser, lo1
Gated on block 8, survey -, Las AMI
mas ranch, Henne- Winch Farriss .pooI,
Jim Hogg county, which has been rum
ming wild since July IA, was brought
under control late Wednesday after
noon, when packer on the bottom OF
a string of four and a half inch cas-
ing was set. The gas then came
through the new string Of casing
which permitted the cementing Of the
split portion near the surface. Sew
eral previous attempts were made 10
set packer on four and half
inch string of casing, all of which
proved unsuccessful and resulted in
the packer being blown out of the
hole in fragments. This gas well is d
very important discovery, which may
in the future link up with the Bruni-
Cole area, as the structure seems to
run in that direction.
Many new tests are being started
in this district. In the Carolina-Texas
field, the National Refining Company
has made the location for No. = on
the northeast corner of survey TOl.

WELLS DRILLING.
Both Of these tests are located lust
north Of the large gassers Of the Caro-
Oil and Gas interests and
that of the United States Gas and Oil
Company. Hhe latter showed some oil
at the time it was bailed. Morgan sr
nj No. / on the northeast corner OF
survey 1856 is cOring below 1000 feet.
This test is being watched with con-
interest by several Of the
major oil concerns who donated either
cash or acreage towards the test.
The Texas Wildcat Drilling Com
pany is preparing to move on tools
for test located in the northwest cor
net Of survey 10. This is a newly
organized concern, of which @. W.
Partec. Ripley, Tenn; II. +. Grimm.
]. Il. Scuthcr. Milo +. Trusscll and
Robert T.. Robbitt, all of Laredo, are
the principal owners. The location IS
along the escarpment line and looks
most favorable for production.
Several new concerns have COM
menced operations in the Henne-
pool in Jim Hogz eoun-

president of the Laredo National
owner of so acres, being tract Al Of
The Teodora Vela ct al subdivision Of

pcyote grant. for several years. Tho
recent producer Of the Kitselman-St.
Adams interests is located only 232
ieet south of the line of tract Al.
This well is flowing 800 barrels,
iaily, through n two-inch tubing set
,n packer. Mr.. Alexander began
moving on rig last week. He spudded
he first of the week and is running
wo towers. The test is expected TO DO
