ported item OF imports DR.. Tucker
made a careful study OF the recorded
exports. imports. and consumption OF
liquors in ncighbortng countries.
From this" he explained. at Is

These figures represent tho

100000 DEAL
IS MADE At
BR0WNWOOD

BROWNWOOD, Tex. Nov. A.
One of the largest oil deals ever made
in this territory was closed last week
when L. r. Wilson, of Wilson and
Moore Company, acquired his part
ner's interests in 1900 acres of leases,
production and royalties in the Cross
Cut field for $250,000. The acreage
includes approximately 500 barrels of
production and leases out of the Wes-
termann, Gafford and Bavter tracts.
Moore and Wilson have been oper-
ating in the Cross Cut field for sew
eral years and recently have acquired
large interests in the Cross Plains
TOWNSHIP field. Moore is credited with
being the discoverer Of the Akers ex-
tension to the Pioneer field in Gala
han County, which almost joins the
Cross Plains and Cross Cut fields.
The bringing in of several good
producers in the Cross Cut area re-
Gently bass timulated both drilling and
the sale of leases, royalty and produc-
ton. Wilson has other interests, in
Guiding production and refinery stock
in the Gorman-Deleon vicinity. Ac-
cording to reports he will begin an ex-
tended drilling campaign on the acre
age recently acquired.

RYCADE ABANDONS
TEST ON NASH DOME

The Rycade abandoned another test
in Fort Bend county on the Nash
dome. Wisdom 3 was given up as
failure at 1712 feet. This tests adds
another failure to the list of tests on
this dome. The dome was located
with the aid of the seismograph and
torsion balance last fall and a good
deal Of interest has been manifested
in the several tests that have been
drilled. SO far nothing has been de-
veloped. However, when one remem.
bers that out Of the entire number OF
salt domes in the Gulf Coast terri
tory, the most of them have been
productive of oil in commercial guam
titles, the failures on the Nash dome,
so far, mean little in condemning the
area. In many instances a decade
or more of drilling has been necessary
to locate the oil after the dome was
found, and it is the opinion of most
biologists familiar with salt domes,
that oil exists in the vicinity of prac-
tically every dome.
Several other tests are drilling IN
Fort Bend county, as well as in other
counties throughout the coast.

SALT WATER CUTTING
MEXICAN PRODUCTION

TAMPICO, Mexico. Nov. 1.-THE
continued intrusion of salt water, es-
pecially in the heavy oil district is
reflected in Mexican crude production
for September, totaling but 1888, sos
barrels, as against S,196,912 barrels
in August; 2,434, 457 barrels Of the
production was light oil, a drop Of
20S,5 sos barrels. while heavy crude
amounting to 5,099, 34S barrels, was a
decrease of Al, LOCI barrels.
For the first time since it entered
the industry in Mexico, the Marland
Oil Company showed commercial
production. Withdrawals from sew
eral wells in hacienda Limon amount
ed to 101 1856 barrels as against 1913
barrels in August. This production
is being sold TO the Mexican Petrol.
cum Corporation and in view of the
fact that the wells are n-competi-
tive. they are not being drawn upon
to full potential capacity.
Production of the Penn Mex Fuel
Company was but 6667 barrels as the
majority of its wells are still closed
by court order pending the settlement
of suit. The National Railways
produced but 51.951 barrels, but this
will jump to approximately 100000
barrels for October as a number Of
good producers along its right-of-way
between Tampico and San Luis Potosi
have been brought in as well as n good
producer on the federal zone on the
Panuco river at Tanchecuin. The
only real gain in production was by
the Mexican Gulf. through the open
ing Of wells in Chapacao.

KANSAS-OKLAHOMA
PRODUCTION GAINS

Oklahoma-Kansas areas for the past
week was $50 265 barrels, as compar-
ed with 474,510 barrels the week pre-
vious in Oklahoma, 107, $50 barrels as
compared with 107 ,215 barrels in Kan
sas, total of 5S7 $40 barrels in both
states against 5S1. 725 barrels the pre-
yious week. The gain of 6215 barrels
was attributed to flush production in
the CARRIER field alone. The Thomas
and Davenport pools in Oklahoma,
which had previously gained several
thousand barrels, lost nearl vas much
in the collapse of the former. Other
fields were steady. Kansas was quier.

with seismographs. The tests will
be first conducted around the old

in activity in this territory, although
another good producer was completed
