SHOWING IN TEST

Operators were watching with in
terest the wildcat test being drilled by
the Rio Bravo Oil Company at Pierce
Junction. on the west side Of the dome,
This well. Scttegast No. /, had a
showing at 1866 feet. but the sand
had not been drilled into sufficiently
to determine much about it. Plans
were being made Friday to deepen the
well n few feet and watch results. The
well is located at Pierce Junction, 700
feet west and 200 feet south of the
northeast corner Of the Settegast 100
acre lease. Should it develop into n
producer it would mean an extension
Of about mile to the Pierce Junction
field. One other well is drilling in the
Pierce Junction field, but it is in the
proven area.

FLOWS TWO YEARS.

The old Walker well of the Big
Gusher Oil company, which is only
about half a mile north of the In
score test, also showed several feet
Of oil sand at depth Of a little be-
low 600 feet and many oil men be-
lieved that it could have been made
into a producer at that depth. This
well has flowed q small stream of oil
continually over the top of the. casing
since 1t was abandoned two years ago.
and 1t is Thought that it is coming
from the shallow level through leaky
casing. The oil is of very high gravity
and compares abodt with that which
was found in the Inscore well.
Mr.. Rayor's operations will be
watched with more than ordinary in
terest when he returns from Detroit

MUCH ACREAGE.

He has a pretty good sized block
of acreage in the vicinity of the well
and had planned to drill other wells
even if the Inscore had proved to be
a dry hole.
Nearly every well drilled in the
original Luling field showed good
oil indication around 500 and 600 feet
and particularly those drilled on the
east side Of the field. When the old
Walker well of the Richards and Art
people was drilled north of town such
a good shallow showing was found
that another well was drilled on the
same lease. but failed to develop any
thing.

SOOO-BARREL WELL.

The largest well in the CARRIER pool
was the Cosden- Marland No. Al School
land in section 1924 west which last
week made 5000 barrels of oil and
400 barrels of water. The influx of
water definitely establishes the sand
as the Wilcox, though it is generally
admitted that the wells were drilled
too deep in the sand without the prop
er determination of producing forma-
ton. Most of the others wells arc
making only a small amount Of water
and can be saved as producers but it
is feared that one or two of the big
wells may be eventually ruined.
The second largest well in the Gar
Der field. the Roxana Petroleum Cor
poration No. NV Schroeder in section
1924 west is making 77S0 barrels
and the same company's No. / Wolfe
in section 1924 west is still doing
1850 barrels of oil and 40 barrels of
water. The discovery well Of the deep
sands. the Sinclair Oil and Gas Com
pany No. % Belveal in section 24-22-4
west is making 2125 barrels of oil
and Al barrels of water after being in
for five months. The Oswego lime at
100000 feet is still contributing
some big wells which appear to be
holding up nicely. The Sinclair Oil and
Gas Company No. % W. Kisner in
section 1924 west is the latest we'll
in this formation. 1t came in for about
600 barrels in nine hours and is rated
good for 1900 barrels a day ut a depth
Of 41T2 feet. The sand has so far been
penetrated only two feet

Rayor Well Gets Gas and
Oil Showing at 600
Feet in Caldwell.

LULING,l Sept. 5.-Luling's pros
poets for shallow oil field have
become very bright again, NJ. U.
Rayor's well on the Inscore tract,
two miles west of town and about half
way between Luling and the Caldwell
county end of the present Luling
field, having picked up a good show
ing around 600 feet. 1t is said that
the oil came from q real oil sand
and it is thought that this well has
picked up the shallow pay that several
operators have tried to develop. Mr..
Rayor's well has been shut down tenn
porarily and he has gone to Detroit.
where his financial backing is all Sc
cured, and nothing definite can be
learned about the present status of

CASING COLLAPSED.

Later reports say the casing has
collapsed and a fishing job will have
to be finished before the full result
will be known. The oil is high gravity
and as the sand is an entirely new
one in that locality and DELAYS are
commonplace whore the formations
are new and unknown, major com
panies are inclined to rate the dis
coyery Of major Importance. All the
farmarks point to a big pool in that
locality which is Is miles further
westward than any other pool in that

RE.DRILL WELLS.

The re-drilling of all the old pro-
ducing territory around 0kmulgee and
Henryctta including the famous
Youngstown pool and Phillipsyille
pools in township iii now looms
strongly as a result of the finding of
the Wilcox sand by the Minnehoma
Oil company in test in section PAIL
II. The well made 10 barrels first
five hours with considerable gas and
without agitating did 400 barrels the
first "a hours. The oil is 4S gravity
and said to contain rs high as 4G per
cent gasoline. Closein lease owners
who bid fair to reap financial har-
vest from the new strike include the
Gladys Belle Oil company for whom
the strike may avert bankruptcy. En-
pire Gas and Fuel company. Phillips
Petroleum and Sinclair Oil and Gas
company. The Minnehoma Oil com
pany. discoyerer Of the new sand have
considerable acreage in that locality.
About miwday between Weewoka
and Shawnee. Okla, in Seminole
county Mt least i miles from nearest
production, the Superior Oil corpora
ton, a subsidiary of the Atlantic Re-
filming company, brought in a well
flowing over the derrick with exact
production unestimated because OF
difficulties in drilling. in. Sand was
encountered at from 2635 to POO feet.
The well is known as No. l Noble
in the northwest quarter Of section
1886. 1t has flowed at intervals and
at one time made an estimated flow
OF 30 barrels over the derrick.

PRESSURE ON TIRES.
Spring Devices Suffer When Air Is
Not Normal

Does the air pressure in tire have
any effect upon the efficiency of the
spring control devices, such as snub-
bers, stabilators. stabilizers, etc? And
if hard or soft tires make difference,
what is the effect?
These questions are worth consider
ing because the answers are surpris-
ing. 1t is first important to remember
that, whether a tire stands up or
sags, the distance between frame and
axle is the same, snubber and stabi-
lator straps thus remaining at their
normal adjusted length. But the vari-
alton in efficiency of the spring oon-
troll devices are apparent when the
wheels start striking road inequalities.
Snubbers and stahilators work on ex-
actly opposite principles. Suffice it to
say that soft tires tend to rob the
spring control devices of the function
and thus lower their efficiency, al
though for fairly smooth pavements
snubbers will be easier with less air
pressure. while stabilators will be bet
ter with a little higher pressure.
Stabilizers, like cantilever springs,
should have normal tire pressure for
best results.

city noted for it's monuments and
parks, a famous seat Of scientific re
search and learning and an industrial
center, which ranks seventh amonE
the cities of the United States. A
few of the places OF special interest
may serve as reminders to the
motorists who would explore Balti-
more. Among them are the famous
Walters Art Gallery, at Charles and
Center streets: the Peabody Institute.
at Charles and Monument streets; the
Baltimore Courthouse, at st. Paul and
Fayette streets; Druid Hill Park and
Carroll Park.
In the latter park stands Mount
Clare Mansion, the oldest house in
Baltimore, built by Charles Carroll in
1854. Very old houses are rare in
Baltimore, owing to the disastrous fire
which destroyed $50 acres within the
city in 1904.
Poe's Tomb There.
Other points of interest include the
Battle Monument. at Calvert and
Fayette streets; the tomb of Edgar
Allen Poe, in the graveyard of West
minister Presbyterian Church; the news
Memorial Building, in honor of the
died in the World War: Shot Tower
built in 1928; the Francis Scott Key
Monument, the Cathedral, Johns
Hopkins University and the George
Washington Monument.
Leaving Baltimore by way Of the
Frederick road, the route passes
through Catonsville, beautiful sub
urb OF Baltimore, and on to Ellicott
City. The latter town, described pre-
viously in these columns, is probably
the most interesting in this vicinity
from the point of view of quaintness.
Here on the Patapsco River is hour
mill which has been in operation many
years, and here are buildings which
bear the earmarks Of time.
The road out of Ellicott City is
winding, steep upgrade, but at once
the motorist is plunged into some of
the most enhancing countryside in all
of Maryland. Prosperous. we'll kept
farms lie on either side Of the road
and here and there is an imposing
country mansion. From Olney the
road leads directly south to Washing
ton. If desired, however, Rockville
TO the southwest of Olney, also may be
made part of the return trip.
For comfortable one day trip
the Washington Annapolis Baltimore
Ellicott City route is recommended TO
Washington motorists by The Star s
motor tours department.
