MERGER MAKES
SAN ANTONIO
CAS- HUB
Galveston Firm Takes Over
Holdings of
Grubstake.

San Antonio became the hub oil
gas developments in the Southwest
Friday, when the Seagraves and
Moody Gas Company of Galveston
took over the holdings of the Grub
stake Investment Association in Nc
Mullen, Live Oak, Refugio and Webb
counties. The announcement was
made by w. NJ. Stephenson. manager.
The deal was not sale, but a trans
fer of holdings totaling 1000 acres of
proven oil and gas land on q royalty
basis.
Operations in the Southwest, thus
unified, center in San Antonio with a
huge supply of fuel gas available for
manufacturing purposes in this Sec
ton of the country.
IMMEDIATE WORK.
Development of the properties will
be immediate. according to Mr.. Steph-
enson.
As a result of development called
for in the contract between the two
concerns, San Antonio's gas supply
will be materially increased. The
present production OF the Grubstake
and Seagraves and Moody holdings in
South Texas amounts to approximate
ly GOO.OOO.000 cubic feet of gas daily,
open flow, Mr.. Stephenson said.
NEW PIPE LINE.
The new holders of the leases have
taken over the Grubstake contract
with the Southern Natural Gas Com
pany, operating a pipe line between
the McMullen fields and San Antonio,
and will supply San Antonio with nat
ural gas.
A new pipe line will be constructed
from the Cole Gas field in Webb
County to the San Antonio pipe line
in McMullen County. There are APP
proximately 300,000.000 cubic feet of
gas produced in the Webb County
field daily. The right-of-way for this
new line has already been cleared and
plans are to begin laying pipe by
August 20.
The contract made between the two
operators is to have five rigs running
continuously in the Grubstake terri.
tory. Four rigs are to be kept run
ming in McMullen County and one in
Refugio, Mr.. Stephenson says.
RUN FIVE RIGS.
With five rigs kept running, the
gas supply will be on a continual in
crease. affording an abundant supply
for industrial as well as domestic pur-
poses.
At present, seagraves and Moody
Gas Company is having a pipe line
constructed from the Refugio field TO
Houston and probably extended to
Galveston. Several smaller towns
along the right-of-way are bidding for
natural gas from the South Texas
field.

QUEER SEA SERPENT
PUZZLES ISLANDERS

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. John

Of British Columbia, today received
an official report that a sea serpent,
which children in the Queen Char

off the province, insisted they saw,
was real.
"When 7 saw the animal going
down the inlet" wrote John Van VAL
kenburg, who made the report, "he

] did not see the tail. The body was
round, or a short oval, dark green,
almost black on the back" .. .
Babcock said that the report "to
me bears every mark of sincerity,
though nothing like that is known to
science" and he was "at loss to
understand what the Queen Charlotte
Island people have seen"
