Cnrolina-Texas now stand in line TO;
tho future big play of this district.
The large gasser of the Kirkpatrick
Lucas interest. which was taken ovei
recently by the Kitselman-St. Adams
interests is also causing considerable
interest and additional buying.
The Sun Oil Company purchased
block ! Of the Dopez tract, Las Ami,
mas grant, consideration $50 per acre
The Gulf Production Company pur.
chased the entire 900 acres of the
Robert Hinnant tract of share /, Las
Animas grant for n consideration OF

located north of the large gasser and
about fifteen miles southwest of Heb.
bronville. Jim Hogg county.
SEVERAL NEW WELLS.
During the past week some 500 bar.
relS, new production, was added to
the Laredo district by the completion
of the Crown Central Petroleum Cor.
poration No. 0 (Richmond-Ga
lease) for so barrels. casing was set
at the depth of 1909 feet and the total
depth was 1890 feet. Rydal Oil Cor.
pOration No. Is Cor so barrels and No.
IA for 100 barrels. In both of these
wells casing was set at 1T04 feet. The
three producers above are located in
the Aviator pool. Webb county.
In the Henne, Winch & Fariss pool,
o. W. Killam completed No. 10 for O
daily production of $50 barrels. Casing
was set in this test at 2072 feet, the
sand encountered at 20T4-20S0 feet,
while the well did not flow, it threat
ened to do so several times.

CLARK TEST NEAR
3OOO-FOOT LEVEL

BEEVILLE, Tex, Aug. 22.-W. G.
Clark, promoter Of the Scott test, five
miles north Of Beeville, is nearing the
3000-foot depth, at which level be may
stop drilling unless oil or gas is en-
countered or formations are interest
ing enough to warrant further search.
The drill is down about 2050 feet.
Mr.. Clark has not made known his
intentions as to whether he will put
down another test on the lease in case
the present well proves n duster. He
made a test of 40 feet Of sand and
shale several weeks ago, but his eff
forts to develop a gasser were unnvil
ing. 1t Is believed by many, however,
that in cementing off the water flow,
the gas was also cut off, MS quite a
lot OF pressure was there before the
cementing Of the well.
The Tom Welder test No. 1, three
miles east of Beeyille, is drilling in
the ncighborhood of 1900 feet. Ex-
ceedinsly hard formations and pump
and boiler troubles have retarded the
work to a great extent.

SEISNOGRAPHS TEST
VICTORIA TERRITORY

VICTORIA, Tex, Aug. 22.-The
Gulf Company is still making. seis-
mograph tests in this county with two
crews at work.
The crews have been in the San
Antonio River section near McFaddin
for several weeks and nre still max
ing tests in that vicinity. They APP
pareHtly have found some interesting
conditions, for they are working in
circle around a suspected salt dome
and have repeated their operations
on several tracts, including the d. M.
O'Connor, Murphy, McF0ddin. War
den and FGgan ranches, which ad-
join.
The derrick of the Houston Gulf
Gas company's Reeves No. is visible
from a number of points in that ter
ritory. The well is said to bs most
promising and exciting unusual inter-
est among the big oil concerns.

SouthtoR Field Producing
$50 Barrels From
IS Wells.

A daily average production of 100
barrels from &c wells is the record OF
the Southton field, less than four miles
south of San Antonio's limits. This
light oil is coming from depths rang
ing from $50 feet to 700 feet, accord
ing to II. B. Andrews, of the Rentex
Oil company, who is operating IN the
field.
The field covers the San Antonio
Cotton Mills tract and part OF the
Jansen and Yturri farms. 1t is IN
the rear of the cotton mills.
At present there are several rigs
running and locations for 80 wells
are being made, he states. AS soon as
the present campaign is completed. it is
believed that the production of the
field will 20 to 350-barrel mark.
When the wells are first drilled in
they make around 20 barrels, but i'm
mediately settle down to around tive
to eight barrels day on pump. They
hold uD to this production for a num-
Der of months, Mr.. Andrews states
The well is several years old and some
of the first producers are still holding
up their output.
There are two large power houses in
the field. which pump the wells by
means of steel cables. Gasoline en-
zines are used to furnish power. Sey.
eraI tanks, with n number OF small
field lines running to them. are located
in the center of the field. Trucks haul
the crude from the tanks to San An
tonic to be refined.
The field was extended during the
past week by the completion of the
Rentex Oil company's No. 1 Jansen,
first test to be drilled on this tract,
for initial production of 20 barrels.
This well struck the pay at $50 feet.
The shale and sand were 90 feet deep.
The well will probably settle down to
about eight barrels on pump.

TAMPIC0, Mex, Aug. 22.-0ne of
the most active drilling programs ever
undertaken by IN oil company in
Mexico has just been started by the
Mexican Scaboard Oil company in tnn
Panuco district where it is scheduled
to complete IS additional wells be-
tween August / and December 81.
The company has been the heaviest
operator in Mexico this year having
completed approximately So wells from
January /, to August l, and with the
exception Of the Pan American East
ern is the only company with produc-

Market Weakens as Light
Oil Production Gains in
Mid-Ccntinent.

TULSA, Okla, Aug. 22.-With the
CARRIER deep sand beginning to con-
tribute moro high gravity oil to q
market over burdened with gasoline,
Midi Continent oil authorities arc
frankly worried and puzzled over the
latest turn in the situation. The pre-
dictions Of many that August would
find shortage of both crude oil and
gasoline seemed to have gone astrny.
Producers blame the refiners for over
doing the running Of oil to stills and
refiners blame the producers for keep
ing up a high pressure drilling cam
paign. The average oil man doesn't
know who to blame but leans toward
the assumption that the refiners large
ly brought about the present condition
of affairs.

IN VICTORIA TEST

VICTORIA, Tex. Aug. 22.-Thc
Houston Gulf Gas Company's Reeves
No. /, located near Raisin, this coun.
ty, is drilling in a tough gray gumbo
around 100 feet.
Several days ago a shallow gas
stratum was tested, which showed a
heavy pressure. The gas was accom-.
panied by water and it was decided
to drill deeper.
Scouts who have visited the we'll
consider the formation favorable and
are keeping close watch on the

ACTIVITY IN LAREDO GAS
DISTRICT SHOWS INCREASE

LAREDO, Tex. Aug. 22.-The re
cent gasser of the NJ. o. p. interests
located on survey 1886, Carolina Texas
field and about ten miles north OF
Miranda City, Webb County, Texas,
has caused considerable renewed inter.
est in that district. Since the compile.
ton Of the gasser. which blew in from
the depth of 2100 feet with daily
production Of 30,000,000 cubic feet,
two additional tests have commenced
operations. the third moving on tools
and locations now being made for at
least three more tests, one of which
in all probability be drilled by the
wden-McSweeney interests.
The tests drilling are Morgan ct al
No. l on northwestern corner of sur
yey GS4. This test spudded late last
Tuesday afternoon. Muckelroy ct al
No. located on the southeast quar-.
ter of survey 338 and north Of the
United States Gas and Oil Company
gasser, spudded Thursday.
MOVE ON TOOLS.
Johnson.DeTray No. 1, located on
block 20, survey 1876, is moving OH
tools and will be ready to spud by the
first of the coming week. 1t is under
stood that the Snowden- insolvency in
tercsts Is preparing to make a location
on its block which adjoins the NJ. o.
p. g0sser on the north.
Details are now being worked out
for another test to the north aud east
of the NJ. o. p. gasser, the location Of
which is undetermined. Still another
deal is pending for a test on survey
As. With the completion Of the six
tests mentioned, it is the firm belief
of the majority Of the oil men here,
that one of the largest gas pools in
Texas will be opened. The Carolina
Texas. Bruni-Cole area, has long been
the most promising district in this
area for large production but the i'm
mensity of the structure has been q

gists. principally the biologists for no
surface indications are present that
would indicate the gas area OF this
district to be more than two miles
wide. ~
FAR FROM FIELD.
In the opinion Of many oil men the
NJ. o. p. test should have shown oil
or water as 1t was nearly a mile enst
of the gas and many believe that Nor
gan-O-Hern-Putman were too far from
the field, however. the trio had some
thing on that area that no one else
apparently had for they drilled the
test and to the surprise Of all got n
monster gasser. Many who own oil

LOCKHART, Tex, Aug. 22.-The
daily production of the Lockhart field
nears the 20,000-bar mark as the re.
suit of five compilations during the last
week for initial production Of approx.
mately $500 barrels. Casing has been
set and cemented in six additional
wells, which will be completed during
the coming week. Twelve additional
wells are being drilled in the proven
area. These wells probably will bring
the daily output to as much as $4,000
barrels before September Is.
During July, the gross production Of
the field from PA producing wells was
1902 barrels, dairy average of IL.
137.GS barrels. The months pipeline
runs amounted to 340,O1S barrels.
COMPLETE GUSHER.
The biggest sensation in the field
during the past seven days was the
completion of the Humble Oil and Re.
filming Company's No. Cardwell for
5000 barrels from 1880 feet. This well
extended the proven area three loca-
tons to the southeast into a district
surrounded by dry holes. The field
was extended another location south
of the gusher when the Gulf Produc-
ton Company completed its No. 2
Riddle at 100 feet for $50 barrels.
The other three wells completed dur
ing the week were: Gulf Production
Company No. IA Cardwell, 1903 feet
500 barrels; No. II Beatty, 1910 feet,
$50 barrels; Eagle Drilling Company
No. 3 Cardwell, 1856 feet, 500 bar
Arels.
y The Humble's No. 2 Cardwell, near
its% new gusher, is at the pay. The
bit Ms resting on top of hard rock.
Present indications are that this well
will bic as good as the gushcr.
GET OIL SHOWING.
According to late reports from the
Thomas-Jordan No. /, q wildcat about
FIVE miles east of Lockhart and about
the same distance from the field, is
down 1870 feet on top of the Taylor
mari or Serpentine. Live oil shovings
are said to be coming up into the slush
pit and gas bubbles appear when the
dri' is not running. The present plans
of the drillers are to continue drilling
into the formation and then test the
showing. Should this well be COM
pleted as a producer, the Lockhart field
would be extended or new pool open
ed in this district.
The Gulf spudded in No. 10 Card
